Superior Teamwork Gives Tiger Quintet First Game of Series
Jayhawkers Took Early Lead But Could Not Hold
Uhrlaub's Work Featured
Missouri Used Short Fast Passes And Kansas Guarding Was Poor
Missouri defeated Kansas last night in the first game of the two game series, 36-22. The short passing game of the Tigers had the Jayhawkers dazed and although Coach Hamilton's men took the lead after half an hour, the Rams began smooching in the second half and jumped to a safe lead.
matthus scored first from the field after two minutes of play and Uhrlauk followed with another. After Ruby had tossed a free throw for the first Missouri score, Miller found the basket for Kansas and Captain Uhrlauk added a free throw. Captain Campbell scored the first Tiger field goal a minute later and Ruby tossed another free throw, but goals by Matthews and Uhrlauk gave the Jayhawkers a big lead. Just before the end of the half, however, the Tiger quintet spurted and a trio of fast under-the-basket shots tied the score at 12-12. Shirkey's free throw as the period closed gave Missouri the lead for the first time, 13-12.
TIED ON SECOND HALF
Dutch Uhriab brought the count to a tie at the beginning of the second half with a free throw but here Missouri's teamwork began to assert itself. The Tiger forwards worked the ball into Kansas territory time after time with their lightning-like short passes and an avalanche of field goals resulted. Counters by Campbell, Ruby and Shirkley came in rapid succession and Coach Hamilton put Fearing and Mandevile into the game in an effort to stem Missouri's scoring. Kansas rallied temporarily and Fearing scored.
Urbiah's free throws, coupled with short goals by Miller and Mathews, made the K. U. score complete.
Wild passing lost the Jayhawkers a number of chances to score, as the Tiger guards intercepted Kansas passes and turned them into Missouri field goals. Free throws by Shirkey, along with goals by Ruby and Campbell, brought the Tiger total up to thirty-six.
TIGER USE GOOD TEAMWORK
Brianlain's free throwing was the only feature of the Kansas play and the Jayhawk captain tossed seven baskets in eight chances. The Crimson and Blue quintet did not play the close guarding game in the second Aggie contest, and the men seemed unable to break up the short passes of the Columbia basketkeepers.
Missouri's teamwork in the second half was the best exhibition seen in Robinson gymnastium this year. Ruby, right forward, played a fast game on the floor and his one-handed shots in the second half were a feature of the game. Caption Camps' also showed well at goal shooting for the Titers.

Officers From Funston To Speak to Students At Special Convocation
Members of French and English Missions Will Talk In Gymnasium Thursday
Will Begin At 4 o'Clock
Colonel James H. Reeves of All-
Kansas Rigged Register Here
Too
A special convoitation has been called by Chancellor Frank Strong for Thursday afternoon at 4 a'clock when four military officials from Camp Funston will come to the University to speak to the students and faculty members in the gymnasium. The visitors include two members of the English and French ar missions which have been sent to the United States to instruct soldiers of the national army in military science.
There will be Captain John E. Few of the British mission who is instructing soldiers in the Injaffry School of Arms and Captain H. Monroe of the French mission who is instructor in the School of Fire in the 1643th Field Artillery. Of these men have been in service in the last three years of the war and have just recently been sent to the United States.
The other two visitors will be Colonel James H. Reeves and his adjunct Captain J. C. Masseck of the 358rd All-Kansas Infantry Regiment. This is the only regiment in the national army which is composed entirely of Kansas men.
France Is Looking To United America's Help For Ultimate Victory
American Mothers Do Not Show Spirit of Sacrifice of the Friend
French
"If America had failed to come into this war, she would have been dishonored forever, and when you would sing those words of your national anthem, 'the home of the brave,' the whole world would have laughed. While the army of France was fighting at the Marne, Ypres, and Verdun, it was looking to the United States to come to its aid."
With these words, Lieut. Paul Perigord of the French army expressed the attitude of France 'ward the United States. Lieutenant Perigord spoke in Fraser Hall Monday morning at 8 o'clock.
"France looks on the United States as her spiritual child. The message of the boys in the trenches is for America to become *r* united people. All must be united. It is essential that everybody belong to only one party during the war, the party of victory.
The speaker deplored the fact that many American mothers are thankful they have no sons to give for their country. He told of a French mother who had just lost her fourth son, who kissed the flag and said, "I have given all, and the flag is now my only love." Americans must sacrifice greatly, he said, in order to win the war.
"General Pershing, probably the greatest soldier of the war, the French regard as the greatest orator of the war, because of what he whispered when he leamed over the tomb of Lafayette; his words were 'Lafayette, we are here.'"
The shipment of books sent to Company M by the University at Christmas has just been received, according to a letter from Capt F. E. Jones to Chancellor Strong. The books were sent by freight.
When the war began, Lieutenant Percigord was in the United States as a professor in a Catholic seminary at St. Paul. He went to France and enlisted as a private. He was promoted because he led his company successor, William L. Browne, officers had been killed. In his subsequent service, he has been decorated for bravery three times, and has received several wounds.
The regular Tuesday night meeting of the Commerce Club has been postponed indefinitely for this week. Look for further notice this week.

Students Must Enroll In Physical Education Courses By Tomorrow
To Check Up Lax Ones And Report Them To Deans
All Exemptions Revoked
Claims For Release From Exe cise Must Be In By Thursday Night
"All students who failed to enroll in physical education will be given today and tomorrow to attend to this matter. This includes men and women students in the School of Law, School of Engineering, School of Fine Arts, School of Medicine and the School of Pharmacy. If these students fail to enroll in the department of physical education before tomorrow night they will be reported to their deans," W. O. Hamilton of the department of physical education announced this morning.
Students who were exempted from drill last semester must put in a new application this semester before Thursday night. All exemption claims must be in the office at the gymnasium at that time.
Baseball men will be divided into squads and given some form of exercise until out door work can be had. All who enrolled for baseball will report to Coach Bond in the gymnasium tomorrow afternoon. The department plans to form squads for drill from the baseball men and keep their organization intact until they can start baseball practice. The same arrangements will be made for spring football and track.
The enrollment in the department of physical education shows a great decrease in the number enrolling for military drill this semester. Only fifty per cent of the men are taking military drill and gymnasm work. The two and four o'clock drill hours are equal in popularity this semester.
"The students will be checked from the registration books in the registrar's office and no one will get out of enrolling in the department this semester," said Mr. Hamilton.
Skilton Special Leader
Of Own Music At K. C.
Will Conduct Orchestra In Presentation Of His Indian
Dances
At the concert to be given by the a Kansas City symphony orchestra tonight in the Shubert Theater, Prof. Charles S. Skilton of the School of Fine Arts will lead the orchestra in his Indian dances. During the last year these numbers have appeared on the programs of many leading orchestras.
The two dances are a "Dear Dance" of the Rogue River Indians in Oregon and a "War Dance" of the Cheyennes.
Professor Skilton's compositions were received with great enthusiasm when played by the Zoelher String Quartet before an audience of six hundred Indians at Chilocho, Dhaka, an audience member from a differently type, heard the dances at the MacDowell colony in Peterboro, N. H., last summer.
The Y. W, C. A. cabinet will meet at 7:15 tonight at the home of Mrs. W. J. Baumgartner, 1209 Ohio street Plans for the production of the annual K. U. Fallies will be formulated at this meeting.
Y. W. Cabinet To Plan K. U. Follies Tonight
The Folies is staged alternately by the Y. W. C. A. and the W. S. G. A.. It has always been one of the successful events of the school year for which little expense is necessary, since the talent and costumes are generally donated.
The Men's Glee Club will meet tonight in Fraser Hall instead of Myers Hall.
Women's Glee Club will hold its regular rehearsal tonight in Fraser Chapel at 7 o'clock.
The University Debating Squad will meet at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday night in Gregan Hall.
Garfield Will Not Stop K. U. Women's Prom
Although complying absolutely with suggestions and rules made by Garfield and Hoover, plans for the Women's Annual From in Robinson Gymnasium, Saturday afternoon, February 16, are interesting and fascinating. A patriotic party with appropriate decorations and rousing music, feature dancing and an excellent floor and as much formality as is possible this day and age will be the program of the afternoon.
Mrs. Eustace Brown, Dr. Florence Sherbon, Mrs. Charles Esterly and Miss Elise Schwander will be present and will take place in the new democratic grand march that will begin promptly at 2:30 o'clock. Every woman in the University is invited.

Research work in the doctrine that everything in nature is ordered for the best has been carried to the extreme by one man at K. U. who just now is capitalizing the rise in hair cuts.

His present trouble, though, is knowing what to do with the money.

The University freshman basketball five will play the Kansas Aggie frosh team at Manhattan, February 15 and 16, Manager W. O. Hamilton said today. A two year contract has been signed for these freshman games, theAggies to play here next year and the Jayhawks to play again in Aggleville the following year. Games will also probably be arranged with the Missouri freshman five.
Work On Tearing Down North College Starts
Work on tearing down old North College has begun. Already the flooring and woodwork have been removed, and it is planned to carry on the work steadily to completion.
Bids for the destruction of the building were opened last Thursday at which time five or six were presented. C. A. Colvin of Lawrence had the best bid, and the contract was let to him. He offered $100 for the building as it stands. The lowest bidder asked that the state pay him $800 for the removal of the building.
New Entomology Course
The department of entomology is offering a new course, "Introductory Entomology II," open to all student of the College who have had Course I or its equivalent. At the close of the term those best fitted will be selected to report on crop and entomological conditions in their various localities. At the outbreak of the war, the head of the department was selected by the United States Department of Agriculture as one of the collaborator and students of the department wi be given an opportunity next summer to assist in this work.
Irene Then, who was a sophomore in the College two years ago, and who has been teaching at Andale, arrived in Lawrence yesterday to continue her work in the University.
College Has Decrease Of Several Hundred Students This Term
School of Engineering Also Falls Off But Laws May Show Increase
Sixty-five New Enrollments
Illness May Have Kept Some From Enrolling—Must Wait Till Saturday Now
A decrease of several hundred students in the enrollment of the College for the second semester was found yesterday afternoon when the offices in the gymnasium closed at 5 o'clock and only 1282 students had enrolled out of the 1507 that were in the College last semester. Sixty-five students failed to attend for this semester and the majority of this number will be in the College, but this does not account for the sudden decrease.
The total enrollment in the School of Engineering will not be known for several days. However indications show now that there will be a slight decrease in the number of men. Enrollment in the School of Law shows a slight increase, even over that of the semester although the exact increase is not known.
There are a few students who are out of school on account of smallpox and measles or suffering from the effects of vaccination and there are many students who went home over the vacation and did not get back in time to enroll yesterday. These students will not be allowed to enroll to college and they do so. All enrollment was supposed to have been completed yesterday and there was plenty of time allowed for every student to get enrolled.
No grades were given out yesterday and it will be a week and a half or possibly longer before they will be issued. It will all depend on the time required by the professors in turning in their grades to the registrar. Many students were unable to take their final examinations because of sickness and these must be given before the students can enroll.
Debate Squads Work For Spring Contests
Three Teams Combat Missouri,
Colorado and Oklahoma
In Spring
The debate squads are beginning work in earnest for the University debates this spring. A debate will be held with Missouri and also a triangular debate with Colorado and Oklahoma. There will be no Nebraska-Kansas debate this year. The teams will be chosen later from these squads. The Missouri-Kansas question is:
"Resolved, that the terms of settlement of this war should include a League to Enforce Peace."
The squad working on this subject is composed of Harold R. Hall, Deane W. Mallott, D. H. Putney, and George R. Blake. The debate will be held here, probably some time in April. The Oklahoma-Colorado-Kansas debate will be on the subject; "Resolved, that the federal courts of the United States should be deprived of the power to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional."
The squad having this question is composed of Marjorie Beane, George Melvin, Robert Albach, Edward S. Mason, Otto E. Hopfer, E. G. Smith, William H. Wilson, Herman. Hangen, and Paul Schmidt. Colorado will come here and Kansas will go to Oklahoma. The debate will be March 8.
Wilson and Schmidt debated for the University last year but the others are inexperienced in college debates. Howard T. Hill of the department of public speaking has charge of the work of the squads.

The Daily Kansan aims to picure the students of the University of Kansas; to go further than metly print the news including for the ideals the university is striving to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be helpful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University, to qualify the students of the University.
TUESDAY, FERRUARY 5, 1918.
ARE THE CRITICISMS JUST?
Many criticisms of the University of Kansas hinge on the fact that the outsider believe the students to be frivolous and artificial. Now that the war is on, Mr. Outsider points sneeringly at the uniforms and leggings. His jeering smile becomes a loud laugh when he sees wool uniforms and leather puttees in University classrooms, usually on men too young to enlist.
The fact that some University women continue to buy clothing that is flimsy and unnecessary as well as extravagant, is not winning a reputation for sincerity for the students in school.
If, on the other hand, an article could be printed stating truthfully that every student was a member of the Red Cross, and that wouldn't be at all unreasonable; that a great majority had invested in Baby Bonds; that every student had signed the government food conservation pledge— isn't it reasonably sure to raise the opinion of the University which suffers at the reports of its weaknesses?
A WELCOME CHANGE
In their last totering years, the enrollment of the seniors has been made comfortable, and lacking the agitating, whirling haste of the past. It is a move that should be commended. But it is right that they should experience the maelstrom of a red taped and breathless enrollment. It is experience for the freshmen, and education in the application of the principle of variables or change for the sophomores and juniors, but, the weary seniors welcome a calm scene.
ALLIES VICTORIOUS, SO FAR
ALLIES VICTORIOUS, SO FAR Contrary to much of what one hears today, Germany emphatically has not won the Great War so far. This is a world war, and our consideration should extend over all the involved territory, and not be restricted to a few miles of territory along the Rhine valley, the Vistula, or the Vardar.
As one looks at a map of the globe, he sees that:
The Allies control all oceans, thereby rendering Germany in a state of siege. The Allies comprise sixteen nations. The Allies have thirty times the area, and ten times the population of the German Empire.
The Allies are in control of all neutral nations, and can cut them off from the German Empire, or the outside world. The Allies, have already conquered 82 per cent of the German Empire and 66 per cent of the Ottoman Empire, as each stood before the war. The Allies have gained 1,733,000 square miles to the Central powers gain of 158,000 square miles.
So far as material things go, the Allies have won, up to this time. But there will, of course be no victory
until our purpose in entering the war is accomplished; until the German Empire is utterly crushed, so that a new order of things can be set up.
Complete victory in inevitable, the war but continues long enough.
MILITARY TRAINING AT OREGON
A battalion, composed of four companies of University of Oregon students and a band, under the command of John Leader, drill from 1 to 2 o'clock every day at Oregon. Colonel Leader is head of the department of military science. The work has so far consisted of field formation and drill.
A typical first line trench has been dug across the University golf links, and a dugout and communication trenches are to follow soon. The work is done by the University company of engineers on Saturday mornings. Bridges of the pontoon, trestle, pile, and frame, types are to be constructed.
Camouflage, explosives, night drills, rifle practice, bird-eye drawing, and the stretching of barbed wire entanglements, are some of the phases of war in which training will be given. Three hours of theory given at 7 o'clock in the evening, accompany the five hours of compulsory drill. Men doing practice work wear overalls, and there are enough Springfield rifles for all.
Surely this is an example of a successful plan of intensive military training. Why can't it be tried at the University of Kansas.
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor Daily Kansan:
Why do you print so much destructive criticism? Just the other day a contributor to your columns complained about conditions that, at worst, are tolerable. Why not be as cheerful as possible? If you agree with me, you may be willing to print the following statement of facts:
It is interesting to know some of the many ways in which K. U. is doing its "bit." One little way is the appointing of an "Intelligence Committee" whose aim is to make available the best and latest material or the war in all its phases. A considerable sum of money has been spent for bulletin boards which are placed in prominent places in the different buildings;—unfortunately the weather has not permitted much lingering at the boards out of doors or in draughty places in the halls but one can get something even in passing. A great deal of time must be required to acquire, and place this material, and members of the committee have spent no small amount of their own money to secure maps and illustrated magazines which were not otherwise available. The committee was fortunate to get a revolving bookcase which provides a place for the war books in the back part of the main reading room in the library; the library staff was able to shift much needed war tables and provide one for pamphlets, clippings and illustrated papers which is just north of the entrance to the reading room in Spooner.
The students will show their appreciation, (and incidentally add to their "bit") by not only reading, but replacing on table and book case, in order that others may read. A reading room for war material would be a fine thing but of course an impossibility under the present overcrowded condition in all the departments of the library.
She wanted to keep within mente hailing distance of her husband who is taking a professional course, but a subordinate member of the department of physical education has ruled out the class work each week unless she also takes the prescribed one-hour-a-day physical exercise.
A young woman of the University may have to stop school because she cannot keep house for her husband, or keep it in a classroom without slighting something.
IS OUR CAMPUS SAFE FOR DE-
MOCRACY?
Is physical education the aim or merely a means of increasing mental efficiency? Is the department of physical education serving the best interests of the University when it neglects to temper with justice the unusual authority given it over all other departments of the University?
Why should one department have so
much authority? Why should it not stand or fall upon its own merits? Is this lady living in Lawrence near the University to be forced to continue her education by correspondence? Will other departments consent to such curtailing of their usefulness?
There is only one possible answer,
but will it come in time to prevent
loss to some that cannot be repaid?
p ii
Editor's Note: Instances of this sort do not help the popularity of compulsory exercise at the University. This is a weakness in the exercise plan. Are there other similar cases? The editor would like to know of you, if there are any?
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard football enthusiasts recently subscribed $5,500 for football to be sent to the soldiers of France. The first consignment of 500 balls is already on the way.
As another means of aiding their country, the Michigan Daily suggests that students of the university should not indulge in the post-exam trips to their homes this year on account of the present railway congestion.
Harvard will continue its plan of informal athletics in baseball this spring. The freshmen will have a regular schedule and work for the University team will begin on February 11, under Hugh Duffy, former big league player.
Seventy-five women students at Columbia School of Dentistry have of fered to serve as dentists for army recruits.
The University of Nebraska will meet Ames in a wrestling tournament February 8. The lowans will be crippled by the loss of their best 135-pound wrestler.
"Now sir," began wifey the morning after, "I want to know who your female companion was last night."
Seattle, Wash.: Students in the University of Washington who have entered national service and are stationed near Seattle will be given an opportunity to continue, in part at least, the subjects which they dropped on enlisting. Several of the faculty have consented to go to nearby cantonments and training camps to give lectures in their respective courses.
The women's activity point system has been adopted by the Women's League of Washington University, in order to develop greater efficiency in women's activities. No student is allowed to carry more than a maximum of twenty points which is equivalent to ten hours work in student activitiies per week.
MENTAL LAPSES
"Female companion?" asked hubby puzzled. "I don't quite understand I wasn't with any lady last night."
It is only a question of time. The day when they start pasting hotel labels on knitting bags is fast ap proaching — Puck.
"Then why did you say in your sleep, "those were the prettiest hands I ever held?"—Puck.
"Women," observed a matron, sagey,
"feel where men think."
"Yes," siged Cynicus, who had been married three times, "that's why men become bald."—Puck.
Superstition is always associated with ignorance, but ignorance, in the broadcast sense of the term, is never associated with a college student; yet, many K. U. students are superstitious.
Superstition Is Rife Here; See Hairpins
An old superstition has it that if a hair pinn is found and is stuck in the bark of the first tree that one comes to, the finder will make a new friend before nightfall. Young women, it is said have taken to this superstition to help children gain a smile sweetheart. If hairpins stuck in the bark of trees tell tales, many K. U. students have been, wanting friends and sweethearts.
You may exclaim at this assertion if you wish, however, tangible proof is at hand. Just observe carefully the trees along the walks from Blake Hall to Fraser Hall. Study the bark of the trees.

Eight K. U. Students Attend State Religious Conferences at Emporia
Ed. Todd, President of University Y. M., Presided at Student Volunteer Meetings
More than 250 college and university students from Kansas educational institutions attended the two religious conferences at Emporia Saturday and Sunday of last week. The other were from the University of Kansas.
The two conferences, the State Volunteer Conference and the State Bible Institute, planned for more concentrated religious work among students of Kansas institutions. Ed, Todd, president of the University Y. M. C. school, met the meeting of the State Volunteer Conference or which he is president.
The Bible Institute planned discussion classes in schools of the state regarding the social teachings of Jesus. This action comes as a direct result of the recent Northfield, Mass., conference in which it was found that the religious relation of the student to his life was more developed than the social relation. The purpose of the Bible classes will be to develop this social side.
Hugo Wedell, Katherine Duffield,
Ed. Todd, Mary Brownlee, John Calane
and Alfred Graves were among
those from Lawrence.
Make Gas From Wood
Says O. F. Stafford,'10
Means of Helping Solve Fuel Problem in North-
SUBSTITUTES WASTE WOOD FOR COAL
Orin F. Stafford, a University graduate, has discovered that gas in marketable quantities can be made by utilizing waste wood, according to reports received by his friends in the faculty here. Stafford is head of the department of chemistry in the University of Oregon and it is hoped that his experiments may help to solve the fuel problem throughout the north-west.
ACTIVITIES WASTE WOOD FOR COAL Because of the scarcity of coal, Professor Stafford believed, that if wood could be substituted so as to produce gas at the same cost it should be made to do. His experiments show that it can be done because of the cheapness of waste wood in the northwest.
According to the test made by Stufford, eight cubic feet of gas with a heating value of 480 British thermal units per cubic foot may be obtained from one cubic food of dry fir wood. The cost of generating the gas is very low after the apparatus has been installed, since waste wood is very cheap.
WAS AN HONOR MAN HERE
WAS AN HONOR MAN HERE
In view of the present scarcity of oil and coal Professor Stafford believes if wood could be substituted so as to produce gas even at the save figure it would be advisable to do so.
Mr. Stafford, who was graduated here in 1910, was recommended to the University of Oregon by Professors E. H. S. Bailey and H. P. Cady. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
K. U. Receives Gift From P. I.
Four volumes of the first census of the Philippine Islands have been sent to the chemistry department for the University Library, by W. G. Margathan, chief accountant for the Bureau of Education, Philippine Islands. The volumes are illustrated. Mr. Margathan was graduated from the University in 1916.
Architecture Course Will Show War Ruins
Slides illustrating the many ancient buildings in Italy, France, Belgium and Germany which have been destroyed in the present war will be the main feature of the new course in History of Architecture given by Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith this semester. Although the course is in the department of architectural engineering college credit will be given.
These views according to Professor Goldsmith, will make the student familiar with the buildings so frequently referred to in the news of the day, and will make clear how hopeless it is to expect their reconstruction showing the reason for the deep indignation of civilized nations aroused by the destruction by the Huns of some of the most wonderful of the world's architectural possessions.
Laws Will Share Library
This semester the sociology students will be given additional library room by being allowed to study in the Law Library. Prof. D. G. Paterson and Prof. W. M. Duffus have secured permission from Dean James Green to place one case of reference books there for the convenience of sociology students.

Captain Vantine starred for the Manhattan team in both games. Clark's free throwing was also a feature. George Hinds, who shot seven field goals on Wednesday, was held to one lone goal in the last game. Bunn, Miller and Matthews showed up much better in the second game.
The Jayhawkers slumped in the first game but came back strong in the second game and played the Aggies off their feet. It was a real battle from the opening whistle to the crack of the final gun, with the Jayhawkers leading by a few points most of the way. The game was one of the hardest fought ever played on Robinson court and Referee Quigley called twenty-eight fouls as compared with five in the first contest.
December was a record breaking month in the number of enrollments received in the University Extension system. There were also significant effects of the war on the University.
The slides and films furnished by the Extension Division are more than ever in demand. European pictures of Russia and Belgium have been in constant use since the opening of the school year. Orders for this service are placed by the various high schools in Arpil and May for the following year. Almost 75 per cent of the slides are maintained in regular circuits.

Student Council Exchange Wii
Not Accept Books After
The Student Council book exchange in Fraser Hall is handling an unusually large number of books this year, according to Walter Raymond who has charge. About 500 books are now on hand and many were sold yesterday.
"Students are selling books this semester that they would not have thought of parting with before," said Raymond this morning. "They seem to have caught the spirit of economy. While texts are being brought in in abundance, there is a large demand for them, so that we expect most of them to be sold. Fewer texts have been changed this semester."
No books will be received by the exchange after today, except those for which there is a large demand. Books may be bought from 9 to 12 o'clock in the morning and 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Students are asked to settle up for whatever books have been sold for them on Friday and Saturday. From the selling price is deducted 10 per cent which goes into the general fund of the Men's Student Council.
Hayes, Political and Social History of Modern Europe; Fraser and Squair, French Grammar; Pope, German Composition; Ely, Economics and Blackmar and Gillin, Sociology, are in demand.
Prof. W. C. Stevens of the department of botany has been granted a leave of absence from the University for work in the investigation of plant problems. This work is under the direction of the food conservation league. New uses of plants in an effort to increase food supply are being studied.
The Botany Club will hold a regular meeting at 7:30 o'clock in the lecture room in Snow Hall. Prof C. A. Shull will talk.
Miss Date And Mr. Man Instructed For Pro
"Men" attending the Women's Prom are requested to wear dark shirts and blouses. "Dates" will wear evening dresses or light colored dresses. Its going to be the last chance for University omen to ear their party dresses, this year, according to the social committee.
The Prom will be held in Robinsoi Gymnasium, Saturday afternoon, February 16. Although the party will be formal as far as dress is concerned, all other arrangements will be simple. No refresments will be served and the decorations will carry out the idea of the "Patriotic Party" which the committee announced earlier.

Juniors, Sophomores and Organizations Given Plenty of Time To Submit Glosses
Drive For Pictures For Jayhawker On In Full Force This Month
Delay Must Be Avoided
Special Arrangements For Seni for Reservations May Still Be Made This Week
Juniors, sophomores and organizations will be given the remainder of the month of February to get their photographs in to the "Jayhawker" according to an announcement made this morning by Don Davis, manager of the book. Delays at the photographers', due largely to the early closing hours under the orders of the fuel administration, have made necessary the postponement of the final date, but the generous extension, of time makes this final date absolute.
"I hope every junior and sophomore who wants his picture in the annual, and who has not yet had a sitting with a photographer will make an engagement at once," said Davis this morning. "The junior and sophomore sections are going to be large, and the photographer will have difficulty in handling the students if they all wait until the end of the month to make dates. Arrange to have your picture taken today."
Because of the fact that the draft age many be lowered next year, Davis thinks many junior and sophomore men now in school will want to put their pictures in the "Jayhawker." "It's very likely to be their last chance," he says. There is a possibility, too, that a decrease in enrolment may make it impossible to issue an annual next year, and that this year's book will be the last one published until after the war.
"One thing is certain," says Davis, "and that is that on account of war economies this year's book will be the last elaborate one published at K. U. for several years. The view section, showing sixteen pictures of the campus, is entirely new, and is a work of art. The color scheme of the book is unusual, and the art work will make it long remembered as an annual that is decidedly different from the usual books. It is a book of sophomores who have the opportunity of putting their pictures in the book should take advantage of it."
Practically all the pictures for the senior section have been turned in, Davis says. A few students, who were not able to arrange sittings until last week, have not turned in their photos; but they are expected to do so shortly, as soon as the photographer finishes them. "Seniors who have not had sittings may still get space by calling up either Morgan or men and making a reservation," Davis said this morning. "But they will have to get sittings this week, or we can not assure them a place in the book."
Twenty-four sophomore men and five women from the School of Medicine at K. U. enrolled at Rosedale who will complete their medical work.

The department of home economics is offering a course in "Food and Nutrition," this semester which consists of three hours of lectures and laboratory for two days in the week during two hours, with credit of three hours. The aim is to give instruction in the use of war flour and fats and the conservation of meat and sugar. The aim is to make it easier to an intelligent understanding of dietary rules. No credit on a department major will be given for this course. There are no prerequisites and it is open to all university women.
The one-hour course in food conservation which meets at 1 o'clock will deal with the principles of nutrition and the value of food products as applied to the war foods in the food administration's program. The methods of conservation will be tested in the laboratory periods. A one-hour course in conservation will be given one hour a week which will take place during the maximum. This will consist of a general course of lectures on food conservation and is given at the suggestion of the National Food Administration.
Students enrolled in the five-hour course in entomology will study the relation of insects to conservation. They will be taught to recognize destructive insects and the means of control and the amount of damage they do. Thirty students have enrolled in the course. The department plans to offer it during the war.
The course in elementary plant pathology will pay attention especially to the diseases of trees and will aid students to prepare for civil service positions under the United States Forest service.
The course in war relief and home service offered by the department of sociology will take up the civilian relief work of the Red Cross in connection with the bombing of Nuremberg States. Its methods of organization and field of service will be studied.
A practical course in accounting is being given in the department of economics in which many students desire to take civil service examinations have enrolled. Courses in stenography, typewriting, and filing may be given if there is enough demand for them and if students can arrange their hours conveniently. No credit will be given for these courses.
Miss Margaret Lynn of the department of English and Prof. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering are the special advisers for students who desire to choose any of the war courses.
Other courses of particular interest to students desiring to enter war service, are elementary French which is largely a conversational course and the courses in drafting and gas engines given in the School of Engineering. The courses in drafting are open to women. A course in diplomacy of the war is given by the department of history.

Rearrange Geology Museum
The geology museum at Haworth Hall is being rearranged and completed, and will be ready for public inspection in a few weeks. "The University's collection of fossils is one of the most complete in the west," said Dr. Raymond C. Moore, who has charge of the rearrangement of the collection.
"When it is re-opened it will contain many valuable features which have been added recently, and which will help the classes in their work very much."

Band Service Flag Now Has Forty-four Stars
The K. U. band service flag now has forty-four stars in it. J. C. McCanes, leader, added twelve new stars this morning to the flag which is hung on the bulletin board in Fraser Hall just south of the business office.
The new names and the department of service are as follows: W. Orland Lytle, physicist; Gola Coffelt, Fred M. Zeigler, William D. Sorgatz, Y. G. Stodder and Carl Deitrich, aviation; Roscoe J. Robinson, medical reserve; Carence Ernest, medical corps; C. C. Glassock, navy; Erroll M. Welch, cannon inspector; Hugh Grutzmacher, and Ben Heusner are in unknown branches of the service.
Plain Tales From The Hill
One of the fraternities on the Hill has hit upon an ingenious plan of meeting the fuel situation. After being unable to buy fuel in Lawrence, this frat issued an edict to its freshmen to scour the town for wood, promising to the the one who brought home the most fuel immunity in the approaching initiation.
The freshmen departed by various ways last night and an inspection of their offerings this morning disclosed the following articles piled in the rear of the house: 3 porch chairs, 50 feet of board fence, 2 front room porches, 1 four room cottage, 2 cords of odd lumber, 1 baby carriage, 1 chicken pen, 4 barrels, 5 barn doors, 6 bunches of shingles, 2 window frames, 3 hoe handles, and 1 wheel barrow.
German War Secrets Revealed In Plays
An inventory committee has been appointed to find whether the collection should be used for fuel or sold at auction.
"I don't wish to add to the general unpleasantness by complaining," remarked the freshman girl with the big blue eyes as she warmed her hands over an electric iron, "But I can't see why these fuel famines don't come during warm weather."
Dramatic Club to Give Plays Thursday Night For Red Cross Benefit
The Dramatic Club will give two one-act plays in the Little Theater in the basement of Green Hall Saturday night at eight o'clock for the benefit of the Red Cross. This entertainment is the first of a series to be given by the club, especially for war benefits. Fifteen cents admission will be charged and the whole receipts will go to the Red Cross.
The plays "Suppressed Desires" and "Efficiency" both deal with present day subjects, "Efficiency" is now running in the Greenwich Village Theater in New York and is a marked success.
The scene of the play is laid in the kaiser's palace in Germany. An old scientist has been working for years trying to make efficient men out of the men wounded in the trenches. He has succeeded. In the play he brings the product of his scientific work, which is part machine and part man, to the kaiser and demonstrates him. But the product of science turns on his emperor and revenges the sufferings of the world. Karl Brown takes the part of the scientist, Herman Hangen the part of "Number 241," and Burney Miller will be the kaiser.
Law Faculty To Act On Six-Day Measure For Law School Today
hallor. Irving S. Cobb has called this play the greatest one-act play he has ever read.
"The Dramatic Club has planned to give a number of evening entertainments this winter for the benefit of war causes and also to furnish real entertainment for University people," said Harold Lytle, president of the club. The ticket sale is limited by the capacity of the Little Theater to 150. The Registrar will have charge of the tickets.
Report Appears in Book
In the January issue of the "National Municipal Review" appeared an article on the Conference for Public Ownership at Chicago by Homer Talbot, Secretary of the Kansas League of Municipalities. It shows the increased demand of the people for government and municipal ownership. It also points out places where municipal ownership has been a success and resulted in better service.
Senate Refers Petition of Students to Faculty With Power To Act
Commencement Is Shorter
Seniors With Standing of "B"
Will Be Excused From
Final Exams.
The University Senate decided yesterday that a petition by the students of the School of Law for the six-day plan for classes be referred to the faculty of that school with power to adopt it if in the opinion of the faculty there is need for the change. A meeting of the faculty of this school will be held this afternoon to consider the plan.
More than three-fourths of the students of the School of Law signed the petition. The reasons given for the six-day plan are that classes will be dismissed earlier for agricultural work this spring and students who may be drafted soon will have an opportunity to get more work done before they are called. There are seventy students in the School of Law this year, which is less than half of the usual number.
The Senate also voted that the rule prohibiting freshmen from participating in intercollegiate debates be suspended during the war. This ruling was made because there are so few upper classmen who have time for debate work this year and there are several freshmen who have shown sufficient ability to represent the University.
Several important resolutions were adopted in regard to the commencement exercises this spring. It was voted that commencement be held on Monday morning after the baccalaureate service on Sunday and that the usual commencement dinner be omitted. The alumni exercises will be held either early in the morning before the graduation exercises or in the afternoon. Class day exercises will be on Saturday before the baccalaureate. Seniors with grades of “B” or above at the close of the semester will be excused from examinations if they have these grades for the past semester. All grades of seniors and graduate students must be in the Registrar's office by Thursday night before commencement in order that there may be no confusion in granting degrees.
Summer session will start on Tuesday, the day after commencement. Little time will be wasted in getting the summer work started as there are many students who want to get through their work as soon as possible.
Men At Funston To Have "Open House Day" Feb. 9
Camp Funston, Kansas, Feb. 5.—Kansans and other friends of the all-Kansas 553rd Infantry at Camp Funston and the multitude of coworkers and enthusiastic supporters of the Regiment's efforts to raise a fund for the boys "from Kansas," will be given an opportunity to visit and observe the fruits of this campaign at "Oen House Day," February 9th.
On this day the mammoth Recreation Hall, subscribed to through a state-wide canvass and built by the boys of the Regiment, will be thrown open to all friends and relatives. The chance for entering the cantonment in large numbers and freely visiting the soldier boys is not an every day occurrence. Every facility will be prepared to accommodate and entertain the visitors. The Regimental Band will give a concert.
The building is a two story structure having an auditorium with seating capacity of 4,000 and a stage which recently accommodated the entire Symphony Orchestra of St. Louis.
Prominent Kansans will speak at this "Open House" event. A committee of non-commissioned officers from the various companies of the Regiment will be in charge of receiving and entertaining the guests.
Many Exposed to Measles
Practically every student has been exposed at some time or another to the German measles according to an attendant at the University Hospital. Since Christmas at least seventy-five cases have been reported.

CHEERING AS AN ASSET
In the basketball games up to date there has been a lack of organized cheering or even a "Rock Chalk" between halves. And unfortunately the Jayhawker cheerleaders have been noticeable for their absence.
This sort of spirit does not win basketball games, and this may explain in part why in each of the critical series with the Kansas Aggies and Missouri, the Kansas five lost one game. It is true that the University team has played loose basketball several times this season. But this is all the more reason why there should be strong rooting to back the playing of the team.
The effect of cheering at a football battle is obvious. What would have beo the result of the Nebraska football game without rooting? Of course, there will never be the same cheering at basketball contests, but better cheering is essential if Kansas is to make good in the remainder of the battles this season.
Every student out at the games, a cheerleader, and organized rooting will work wonders for the team. Let's go Kansas!
A picture no artist can paint. The colored porter shoveling coal on one "f our lightless nights.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
A reader of the Kansan who signs her communication "B," in starting her communication which is a constructive bit of old information, asks why "the Kansan prints so much destructive criticism?"
The Kansan does not print any more destructive criticism than constructive. Criticism in itself is constructive if of the right sort. Any person in the University may point out inefficiencies in the workings of the University whenever he sees fit, and have this communication printed in the Kansan if there is enough point to the criticism. Criticism in the United States Congress while it may appear to some as destructive, is in reality constructive. The good of such criticism is obvious.
It seems that there is much dissatisfaction among German soldiers at the front because of the indiscriminate awarding of Iron Crosses. Is it possible that the Imperial government is giving them away for other deeds than killing babies or bombing hospitals?
Missouri breweries are to close two days each week and effect a saving of twenty-five per cent in fuel. But it still is a question whether or not these breweries are, under the guise of patriotism, rehearsing for the tragedy of national prohibition.
Most girls that teach, do so as means of filling their hope chests.
Some wear army uniforms because they are in the service and others because they think drill at K. U. makes it necessary.
Generally the snap course in college which has been recommended as such turns out to be the hardest one you have ever enrolled in.
You have seen the grouch who would have been an ideal specimen of American thrift and manhood if he had left off the grouch. After all it is those little contours and acts of politeness that establish a person's place, regardless of his admirable qualities and stability to push ahead in the face of difficulties.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
Because of the slight error, he gave the clerk a sarcastic bawling out. Trivial enough was the whole affair, and yet-He didn't start a pleasant friendship there.
It's the little things that count.
War certainly has introduced a blunt morale. One senior who has sat appreciatively through many a long and tedious classical recital has discovered that he doesn't really like it at all and refuses to deceive himself or any one else any more.
Professors are favoring knitting in their classes. It keeps the students awake.
A holiday is the most easily recognized event in the curriculum of the college student.
It is reported that tennis is becoming popular with Americans in Hawaii. This will be a spark of encouragement to those of us who have believed that the chief Hawaiian pastime was to be dressed in a palm beach and walk arm in arm with a native belle on the sea shore by moonlight.
FREEDOM
The abuse of so-called "academic freedom" is a graver menace than ordinary abuse of free speech. The socialistic or the smearful soap-box does not address a very influential class, but the "intellectual Bolshevik," as President Butler styles the professors who abuse their academic freedom influence the pick of the country's youth, each one of whom is destined to be a force in community life. The utterances of Prof. Scott Nearing, since being dropped from the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, abundantly justified the summary action taken by the trustees of that institution. Columbia University, too, has had similar trouble with professors who have abused their academic freedom. Two professors had to be dismissed, while two others have resigned out of sympathy with their dismissed colleagues. In his annual report, President Butler points out that a man voluntarily limits his individual freedom of utterance when he connects himself with an institution of learning which has learned for itself certain traditions and which in the minds of the people stands for certain fundamental principles. Speaking as an individual he would gain no hearing, but as a member of the faculty his utterances carry with the weight of the institution that is behind him. "To maintain one's connection with an academic society," says President Butler, "while at war with its purposes or disloyal to its traditions and organizations is neither wise nor just." This nation is now ready to turn over the education of our youth to academic Bolshevik—Leal's.
"Hm-m," said the Senior, taking in the red "F" on the front page. "Say, Kid, let me tell you a few." I nod, and the school staff. "Yee can't the profs school stuff." Yee can't the profs.
Quoth Senior to Frosh
"Your dad may be the high mucky-muck out where you came from and it might' be dangerous to funk you there. But, take it from me, it isn't that way here. Better surprise yourself and study some. The profs are human; the old ducks are for the same things as we are. Get up close enough to 'em to see how they breathe; they won't bite. Treat 'em on the square and they'll do the same by you. But don't forget that they're human enough to know your bluffing game."

Before They Became Professors At K. U.
It has leaked out that some of the professors have had experiences, escapades, or whatever you want to call them. But on further investigation, they are found to be the kind of experiences that look well in print. For instance:
Prof. F. C. Dockery, looks back on the days when he was night police reporter on the Chicago Tribune, and was assigned to a beat in the northwest section of the city, in the heart of the Polish district, as an experience he will not forget. Saturday and Sunday were especially busy, as the Poles made it a rule to take on a big cargo of wet goods the day before. The year just after he had graduated from high school he spent among the cattiemen in the west, when the plains were still "woolly."
Prof. Hannah Oliver, of the department of Latin, remembers the days of Quantrell's raid as her most dramatic experience. Crouched beside the window of her home, at the north end of what is now Indiana Street, fearing every minute that the ruffians would enter the house, she saw men shot down in the street.
H. Shepherd, instructor in psychology, recalls a tense night when he was a boy, during the pioneer days of Oklahoma, nearly twenty-two years ago. The settlers around what is now Custer City had received word during the afternoon that the Cheyenne Indians would attack them shortly after sundown. All the women and children were removed to a hill, while the men patrolled a circle about its base the entire night. This was shortly after the death of Custer, and was the last resistance the Indians ever dared make against the white man.
From a speech by the Lord Mayor of Dublin: "That would be a crying evil, to leave the poor people in the city without milk. It would be a wise thing if the Corporation would take the bull by the horns and deal with the matter."
"And now, children, we come to that important country, Germany, that is governed by a man called the kaiser," said the teacher. "Can anyone tell me what a kaiser is? Yes Willie!"
MENTAL LAPSES
A Buffalo man stopped a newsboy in New York, saying: "See here son, I want to find the Blank National dollar a dollar if you direct me to it."
With a grin the boy replied: "All right, come along," and he led the man to a building a half-black away.

Tiger's Short Passes Beat Jayhawker Team Again By 25-21 Score
Floor Work and Shooting of Ruby and Campbell Features of Game
Kansas Led In First Half
Wild Passes By Coach Hamil ton's Men Help Missouri To Win
Two of the prettiest goals of the game, the first by Mandeville from the corner of the court and the second a difficult backhand shot by Miller, cut short the Tiger rally. Ruby, the fast Tiger forward, dribbed down the edge of the court and hit the iron hoop from the sideline, but Captain Unrlaub evaded things up with a short shot from under the basket. The half ended with a long shot from mid-court by Laslett, with the count 15-13 in favor of Kansas.
Inability to break up Missouri's short passing game in the second half cost Kansas the second game of the series with the Tigers yesterday afternoon, 25-21. The Jayhawker easily had the better of the first half but the Columbians took advantage of the wild passing of Coach Hamilton's men in the last period and won the game.
Miller caged a goal soon after the opening of the second half, and Uhrlaub brought the crowd to its feet with a long shot from mid-court, but Ruby started the big rally which brought the Tiger quintet into the lead. Two one-handed shots by the little Missouri forward gave the Columbians new life and Coach Hamilton's athlete began a series of wild passes which lost them numerous chances to score.
As in the game Monday, the Jaya-hawkers started out in whirlwind fashion and gained a five-pont lead. Shirkyse caged the first goal of the game after a few seconds of play, but two goals by Uhrlaub and a long shot by Miller gave Kansas the lead. Captain Campbell of Missouri found the basket a minute later and soon the Tigers had brought the score up to 7-6, and were fighting hard to get out in front.
Matthews was substituted for Ubrlaub at center in the Jayhawker lineup, the Kansas captain going to left guard. The Tigers continued to run up the score, however, and the entrance of Rice into the game at left forward did not help matters any. Almost every long pass by the Crim-

son and Blue five in the last few minutes of the contest was intercepted by the Tiger men. Playing this kind of game, the Jayhawker forwards had little chance to score.
Kansas played better basketball yesterday than Monday. Both Jaya-hawker guards were in better form and this was shown by the fact that the Tigers were forced to resort to many long shots yesterday. The shifting of Uhraiua to center worked well in the first half, but Matthew's ability to get the tip-off caused his entrance into the game.
Ruby and Campbell did stellar work for the Tigers in floor phy and goal shooting; while the guarding of a goal was excellent. The score follows:

Campaign To Enroll Students And Faculty In Bible Study Begins
Group of Professors Meet Tonight at Westminster Hall To Discuss Plans
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 7, 1918
Is Nation-Wide Movement
"North American Students Mobilized for Christian World Democracy" The Slogan
Campaign at the University of Kansas to enroll all students in Bible classes begins tonight with a meeting of fifty faculty members to ascertain whether they are going to support the campaign and lead the discussion classes. Dean F. J. Kelly will discuss the side at the meeting, which will be held in Westminster Hall form 5:30 to 7:30 o'clock.
Supt. R. A. Kent of the Lawrence city schools will discuss the significance of the undertaking, and Miss Katherine Duffield and Hugo Wedell will present the history of the movement and the necessity for unity of action in the campaign.
The movement is one of national importance, and the university authorities have set aside a special concession for February 15, at 4 o'clock in Fraser Chapel, where Dr. J. E. Campbell of Christianity and World Democracy.
"North American Students Mobilizing for Christian World Democracy," has been adopted as the slogan for a national campaign that is to be carried out in all the universities and colleges in this country during the next few weeks. At the International Student Volunteer Conference held in Northfield, Mass., early in January, students from nine countries in North America should be challenged to enter discussion classes in Christian world democracy.
Discussion classes will be organized for university students in the various Lawrence churches, and the leaders will be faculty members. Classes will also be started among nurses and sororities if they are desired.
This campaign is especially timely," said Hugo Wedell, in regard to the movement. "We are fighting a world war for democracy, and before democracy can be assured, Christian principles must be established."
Sorority Bible Classes Start Sunday Afternoon
Various Phases of Biblical Study To Be Taken Up In Different Houses
The first of the sorority Bible classes will be held Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock when the Alpha Chi Omegas begin the study of the Life of Christ under the leadership of Miss Katherine Duffield. . At a meeting of all sorority presidents held before Christmas it was voted to conduct a series of twelve Bible-study classes, one to be held each week.
On Monday evening at 5 o'clock the Kappa Kappa Gamma's will study the Gospel of Mark. The Chi Omegas will take up the Social Teachings of Christianity and at 6:30 Pri Beta Phi will take up the same subject. At 7 o'clock the Gamma Phi Betas will study the Life of Christ and the Achtho's will begin a detailed survey of the book of Revelatiens. Miss Kathrine Duffield will have charge of most of these classes but Mrs. George O. Foster and Mrs. A. C. Terrill will assist her.
The Alpha Delta Pi's, the Theta's, the Sigma Kappa's and the Alpha X' Delta's are planning similar classes in Bible study but they have not decided definitely on the time or subject.

The War Here and Over There
There are in France today more American troops than comprised the American army at the time the United States entered the war, according to Capt. Andre Tardieu, French high commissioner to this country.
Announcement has been made through French sources that France will be able before July 1 to manufacture enough artillery to supply twenty American divisions, or approximately one half million troops.

Petition For Six Days In Law School Rests On Shoulders of Board
Chancellor Notifies Faculty Tha Matter Must Be Referred To Administrative Body
"The law faculty," said J. W. Green, dean of the School of Law, "is in favor of the plans presented in the petition and passes on it with a four to one vote. We have to stay here all spring, whether we have school or not, but we see the coming labor crisis and we want to let the boys out sooer. Some men will be drafted soon and they might be able to finish their courses before being called to the army."
Following the presentation of the petition by the law students asking for six days of school a week Chancellor notified the faculty of the School of Law that they had no power to act in the matter and that the petition would have to be referred to the State Board of Administration. The Board will consider the petition at its meeting Saturday.
At a meeting of the University Senate Tuesday it was voted to recommend to the faculty of the School of Law that they decide on the petition at their next meeting.
Freshman Squad Lost To Varsity Last Night In Light Scrimmage
First Year Men Go To Manhattan Next Week To Play
Aggies
The varsity football team went through a light workout last night after the two defeats at the hands of Missouri. The regulars only limbed up and shot a few goals but the second team scrimmaged Coach Bond's freshman aggregation in a fast twenty-minute practice. Lassett was not out and Uhrlaub and Bunn played only a short time.
The Varsity walk through the freshman defense almost at will. Both Fearing and Mandeville played excellent ball on the floor. Fearing also had his eye on the basket and led the field in goal shooting. Barteldes paired with Fearing at forward, Fink was at center and Mandeville, Rice and Stephenson formed the defensive combination.
"Conquest and Kultur," a book by Prof. Wallace Notestein, formerly a member of the faculty of the University of Kansas and now of the University of Minnesota, is one of a new group of war books in Spooner Library.
The freshmen are working in preparation for their games at Manhattan next week with the Kansas Aggies, Shields, Barter, Keckley and Lashley took care of the forward positions for the yearlings, Harms jumped center and Bennett and MacCled played at guards. The yearlings have a fairly strong combination of strength and the Varsity a hard battle. Although it is reported that the Aaggie fresh quintet will present a lineup, the K. U. freshman believe they will give the farmers a fight.
It is said that an examination of the book will convince the reader that it is scarcely impossible to exaggerate the enormity of the German war crimes to superiority and world domination are stated in their own words.
New Books In Spooner
On German Pretensions

Chance For New Men To Win Track Letter Extra Good This Year
Only Two "K" Holders Are Back—First Meet In Two Weeks
Chances for new men in athletics to get places on the Varsity track team has not been as good in many years as it is this year. That statement by Conch W. O. Hamilton summarized the track队 situation as two weeks of training before the track meet with the Kansas Aggies.
Of the twenty track man who received letters last season only two, Murphy and Rice, are in school and eligible for the team this year. Murphy's races are the half mile, quarter and relay, while Carl Rice apparently is good for a first place in the high jump in any Valley meet.
For the other places on the squad of sixteen men which will represent K. U. in the conference meets this year, Coach Hamilton will depend largely upon new material. A few track men have been practicing since the holidays but none has been showing sneed of this time last season.
Lack of interest in track has been chiefly because of vaccinations and by the running track being seated for basketball games. The track will be ready for use each afternoon the remainder of the week. The date of the track event is announced but it probably will be the week before the February 18 meet.
After the meet, with the Kansas Aggies Coach Hamilton will look for a larger squad out for track as all men, freshmen and upperclassmen making good showings in their races will be entered in the K. C. A. C. meet in Convention Hall March 2. It is necessary that men qualify in their events early to insure their being entered in this meet.
On March 15 the K. U. team will met Missouri in Convention Hall for the annual dual indoor meet .
Credit Will Be Given For Study In Wireless
"Suppressed Desires" and "Efficiency," will be presented at the Little Theatre in Green Hall by the Dramatic Club Saturday night February 9.
A course in wireless telegraphy has been provided this semester to meet the demand of students for such training. There are now sixty students enrolled, many of whom are taking the work in lieu of physical exercise. However by taking both code and class work some will receive two hours class credit in either the College or the School of Engineering.
A wireless course was given last term by Willard H. Beltz and Louis Hull of the department of physics, which resulted in the present demand for the work. This semester there will be class work in lecture and recitation sessions on Monday and Thursday and code work daily from 4 to 6 clock or by appointment.
Class work will be given by Prof. M. E. Rice, and Mr. Hull. Code work will be given by Mr. Beltz and his assistants. The class work is intended to develop a knowledge of the principles of which wireless apparatus is based. Code work is to train the student in receiving and sending messages.
The proceeds from this performance will be given to the Red Cross. Tickets to the number of one hundred and fifty, the seating capacity of the Little Theater, will be placed on sale at the Registrar's office.
Dramatic Club To Give Proceeds To Red Cross
Members of the cast of "Suppressed Desires" are: Florence Butler, Robert Robertson and Marie Ketels. Leading parts in "Efficiency" will be taken by Burney Miller, Karl Brown and Herman Hangen.
The Collegiate Alumnae Association plans to give two plays this spring but the date has not yet been decided upon. The money raised by these plays will be given as a scholarship by the Association.
Hester Jackson, c'20, will go to Kansas City today to attend the diner and dance being given at the Hotel Muehlebach for Base Hospital Unit 28 which will leave soon for Camp McPherson, Georgia.
Lincoln's Birthday May See Classes As Usual
The University Senate will meet tomorrow afternoon to decide if the university will observe Lincoln's Birthday next Tuesday. The day is later in the week and usually is observed but classes may be held on that day as usual.
If all the remaining holidays, including Lincoln's birthday, Washington's birthday, Easter vacation and Decoration day were omitted, school would be out one week earlier.
Plain Tales From The Hill
He sat on the edge of the hall room bed engrossed in deep, perplexing thought. At frequent intervals he turned loose a sigh that shook his whole body and made the windows rattle. Then his room came into the room, lugubrious as a rheumatic undertaker.
"An' now, Bill, what d'ye think? The doggone landlord says he's a-goin to raise the rent."
"Well," muttered Bill with a tragic attempt at cheerfulness as he took a swig of prussic acid, "I'm glad he's goin' to. I didn't see how we could do it."
Again there has arrived that sad of frat pledges have the immediate choice of being initiated into the rites of their chosen brotherhoods or of joining the army. Many seem to prefer going to war, and war has been very concisely defined. Within the next two weeks no one need be unduly alarmed by seeing a row of neophytes standing on their heads in front of Spooner or taking turns shimming up Blake Hall to wind the physics clock. The war spirit has entered many frats and they are going out for meat.
It was a bad, wicked plot—but it worked. That was the only apology of two freshman boys who saved their job by strategy. They had been hiring the furnace, with results somewhat unsatisfactory to the landlady, for the fire went out occasionally, and the furnace smoked energetically from time to time. So one day the landlady came to the conclusion that she herself could fire it as well as the two frosh, and decided to try it for the rest of the day. After waiting patiently, but unavailing, for any evidences of failure on her part, they decided it was up to them. One slipped down the stairs after the landlady had gone to bed, and closed the dampers very, very tightly. Soon billowing, choking clouds of smoke filled the house, and then the other fireman went to the rescue, first making sure that the landlady had realized her failure. And what if the fire was out in the morning? They're still firing the furnace and doing a much better job of it.
Course In Conservation Has Thirty-four Enrolled
Faculty Members Urge Students To Take Home Service Work
The special course in food conservation, offered by the department of home economics at the urgent request of our faculty, will provide an enrollment of only thirty-four.
"There ought to be at least a hundred in the class," said one of the instructors in the department today. "If the government called for women to go to France to scrub floors, the women of the University would respond eagerly, but when they are asked to stay at home and do patriotic work in a quiet way, they are inclined to fail. They don't get enough adventure and publicity that way."
The course is similar to the one given in the summer session. Prof. S. O. Rice of the department of journalism, who took the course at summer school last year recommends it to all students.
The work is a 3-hour course, giving three hours of credit to any one, man or woman in the University, and has no pre-requisites. It is intended to the proper conservation of food for war purposes. It meets at 1 yelck.
"Especially should every man and woman in the department of journalism take this course," said Professor Rice. "Newpaper men and women need such vital information." Miss Margaret Lynn, who has charge of women's war work, recommends the course highly.
All students who wish to change their schedules so as to enroll in the course may do so Saturday.
Torch Announces Names Of This Years Members At Convocation Today
Nine Senior Women Have Constituted Society For Current Year
A Force In K. U. Affairs
Organized In 1912, Toreh, With Unknown Membership, Has Had Big Influence
The names of the nine University women who since their election last May, have constituted the active members of Torch will be announced at the convocation this afternoon. They are: Helen Clark, Ruth Endacott, Ruth Gardiner, Marion Joseph, Mary Morse Nicholson, Katherine Reding, Lena Rogers, Ethel Scott and Margareta Stevenson.
The Torch is the senior women's honor society, one of the most active organization at K. U, since its organization in 1912. Although it is one of the influential societies of the University there are students who doubtless never heard of it, or having heard of it have forgotten it. This is not to be wondered at however, 'or Torch is not only a secret society but a society devoted to objects and ideals which can be obtained only on condition that the names of the members be unknown during the greater part of the year. It might be defined as an organization for promoting good causes in an unannounced manner.
The danger of becoming submerged in the organization to which an individual belongs so that his conduct is judged not on its merits in terms of the known interests or the obvious bias of the society is eliminated in Torch.
The ideal of a University where every student would, of his own initiative and apart from any party, class, or society, set himself to work disinterestedly for the things which are best worth while in the University, stimulated the organization of Torch. In 1912 a group of senior women formed the society , a society without any object as a society, without any organized interests to serve; not so much a society as simply a group of women prominent in the affairs of the University, and recognized leaders among the women students, who were to bind themselves together. This record, for those things that were obviously to be desired. For this reason the society as an organization had to be kept in the background, had to be a kind of self denying organization; and for this reason it was necessary that the names of the members should not be generally known.
At least seventy hours credit, high scholarship, proved capacity for leadership, and the disposition to take an active part in what are called student affairs, are the qualifications for membership.
Orchestra Will Furnish Music For "Checkmate"
Practice On Play Has Been Held Regularly During Quiz Week
Music for the Dramatic Club play,
"The Checkmate" at the Bowersock
Theater, Wednesday, February 20
will be furnished by the University
Orchestra, Prof. F. E. Kendall direc-
tory of music. (Also available:
E. M. Hull, manager of the play.)
The orchestra will start rehearsing its music next week. As large an orchestra as can be accommodated in the pit will be used. The piano will be removed and the music will be of a symphony nature.
Quizzes did not stop the cast from practising three times last week in the Little Theater in Green Hall. Rehearsals now are being held three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights.
"Rehearals have been going very smoothly and every member of the cast knows his lines," said Hull owe. "We're doing our work behind closed doors."
Mail orders for tickets will be received beginning next Monday.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in how to go further than merely printing the news or displaying its values holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to courterness; to leave more serious matters to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university of quality the students of the University.
SIX DAY WEEK FOR LAWS
THURSDAY, FEB. 7, 1918.
The probable adoption of the six-day week plan by the School of Law yesterday brings up the question if such a plan is feasible and necessary in other schools at the University. Some members of the University Senate were opposed to allowing the faculty to adopt the plan because it would stir_up unrest and dissatisfaction in the other schools where the working of such a plan is not possible and cannot be installed under present conditions. Two weeks ago it might have been possible but not now.
Two weeks ago it would have been possible to re-arrange schedules to fit the six-day plan in the College if the Senate had thought such action advisable. But now the making over of classes would result in endless confusion. After-thought action is weak, as was plainly shown by the new compulsory exercise plan when installed last semester after the year's work had started.
But if possible to install, the faculty has opposed it in the college and other schools simply because it would have to work under a widely different plan from that of the School of Law. In the School of Law the case system is used and much of the work is lecture. Saturday under the old system was practically a day wasted. But in the College and School of Engineering it is different. Long laboraory experiments, lengthly library readings, and laboratory work on Saturdays, and often on Sundays in these schools would mean that the student would be certain to slight some work. The chance of not passing in some work would be too threatening.
Whether students would go back on the farm and work should be considered as a big point. If students do not do this, the reasonableness of the new plan is doubtful. In the School of Law, where a large number of the sixty students involved, expect to be drafted soon, the change can be easily managed. Two-hour courses will run two-fifths of the remaining months, while the three-hour classes will run three-fifths of the time. With laboratory classes this would not be possible.
If a student is actually needed on the farm, as some claim they are, it is probable that arrangements could be made as last year to allow them to go home and serve on the farm, starting in May. But to the faculty of the College, the wholesale dismissal of classes in May to accommodate a few, seems foolish when the disarrangement of the workings of the University is carefully considered.
SENIORS REWARDED AT LAST
After listening impassively to years of arguments for the abolition of senior examinations in the last semester of work at the University
of Kansas, the Senate has suddenly taken a decisive stand in the matter and accomplished in a few minutes what time past could not solve. At its last meeting the Senate provided that all seniors with a grade of "B" or above will not have to take any final examination.
The seniors are surprised. The war has brought many surprises, but few as good as this one, which after all, is essentially a war measure. The moving of commencement up to Monday necessitated the turning in of all grades by the previous Thursday night. This meant that many examinations would have to be held during the week before the usual examination period. It was to meet this exigency that the Senate took action.
The old order changeth. It is not fair to say that it was time, for the Senate of the University knew the hour and did promptly all that it required.
The Germans claim that their submarine production is more than one a day. It will be a long time however, before they can hope to catch up with Henry J. Ford.
A gentleman holds the door open; the other man pushes his way out first.
ANOTHER ASPECT OF IT
A letter has been received from Miss Elizabeth Sprague formerly professor of home economics at the University, now doing war work in food conservation in Washington, explaining what intelligent food conservation really means in the war.
She says that men at the front are suffering by the hundreds from tuberculosis. Their recovery is conditioned by proper care, and particularly by nourishing food. Since food supplies in Europe are extremely low, the food sent from this country will literally save the lives of these men. If we save the food they need and send it across, we are saving lives and winning the war. It is most imperative, says Miss Sprague, that we use intelligent effort toward conservation.
At present there are thirty-four members in the class in Food Conservation here. Is the University of Kansas saving lives and winning the war, or is it a large-sized slacker?
A fraternity pledge is recognized by his constant reference to "the house."
This is just the type of person who has not realized the idea back of the sale of these stamps. Obviously, the secret of success of this sale is in the number sold. The great population of this country is the only thing that has made the scheme feasible. If our population had not grown since 1812, it is not likely that such a plan would have been launched.
MAKING IT UNANIMOUS
It is not hard to find a person who has not bought a thrift stamp because he thinks the aid given would be inconsequential.
This is a modern war; it is being fought by a modern nation, and it must be paid for by modern methods of finance.
But we are dealing with America of 1918. Under present conditions a twenty-five cent investment by Tom Jones will not go far, it is true, but an equal amount invested by the majority of our hundred million people will go far. It does not take a university student to figure to a penny just how far.
The degree of success which the thrift stamp campaign meets will not only measure our patriotism but also it will measure definitely the extent of participation by Americans. The time is now here for every student in the University of Kansas to help make it unanimous.

By an overwhelming vote, the women of the Colorado College have decided to give the time left on their hands by the period provided in the schedule for military training to the Red Cross.
More than three hundred students have enrolled to take the course for the training of volunteer social workers, which is being given at the Hotel Blitmore by the Department of Extension Teaching of the University in co-operation with the Committee of Women on National Defense. The various relief societies of this city are looking forward to the ten who may be called upon for active work. If there is sufficient demand there is a possibility that the course may be repeated—Columbia Spectator.
T terrible revenge awaits the Bears tonight when the clawed-up Longhorn turn on his foe and goes him. The Bears probably have swelled heads as a result of their victory over the Longhorns, but the victory was so slight that it cannot be easily repeated on the fresh and well-doored team which will meet the Baylorites tonight in the men's gym.

That gits more kicks than all the rest.

This one dog was shown at an exhibition only once, then in 1916, at the Philadelphia shows. "Fern Top Lady" took first prize as novice and first prize in the puppy class at that time.
One dog died on the road. "Fern Top Lady" is one of the best female dogs in this country, being worth nearly $400, according to Mr. Young. Before the war she would have been worth twice as much.
Eight niredale dogs have been purchased by C. C. Young, director of the K. U. water laboratories, from the Wollaton Kennels, Coatville, Pennsylvania. The owner of the kennels, R. H. Kerns, sold the dogs because he has gone into the army service. This makes twenty-four dogs which Mr. Young has at his kennels at Nineteenth and Massachusetts street.

Men Leaving For War;
Women Teachers Needed
University Graduates Are In Demand In Kansas Schools Says Dean Kelly
Teaching in a grade school or high school may not seem as picturequee or romantic as being a Red Cross nurse or driving a war motor car, but there is a big measure of duty in it that backs Kansas girls to take the places of the hundreds of Kansas men teachers who teach at the school. P. J. Kellly, dean of the school of education at the University of Kansas.
"Practically all of more than 1,800 men teaching in Kansas grade schools in 1916 have left or will leave the school room for the duration of the war," said Dean Kelly. "Of the 972 men, not including superintendents and principals, teaching in Kansas were volunteered or are in the draft age and a majority of their number will join the army.
"There are two possible sources for the public schools to obtain teachers. They must call back the former teachers from homes and other callings and
"The education of young Kansans faces a grave crisis that the public is failing utterly to appreciate. One thing that must be kept up is the education of the children. We can't let it fall back one bit in quality. But we can't keep up with the growing shortage of teachers.
Everything fresh at the Candy Shop. Try our home made candies. Adv.
"The boards of education must seek out the old teachers in their communities and must urge the young women to take up the work. There is no use looking to the universities and normals to turn out an adequate supply of teachers in these times. Already they cannot meet the demands made upon them and the .*t-tuition* is growing more serious daily."
the young college women, whether they must earn a living or not, should go into the class room.

Seniors and Juniors Won In Womens' Games Yesterday Afternoon
Seniors Swamped Sophs, 31 to 13, While Juniors Nosed Out Frost, 7 to 6
Freshmen Play Good Game
Great Playing By Seniors Enable Them To Hold Lead Among Classes
The seniors overwhelmed the sophomores, 31 to 13, and the juniors nosed out the freshmen, 7 to 6, in the second group of women's basketball games yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium. By defeating the sophomores by this top-heavy score, the seniors easily retained their lead in the race for championship of the University. Only three more games have yet to be played and indications are that the seniors will keep in the race and retain their record of being undefeated for the last four years.
In the opening game yesterday, the seniors took the lead at the start with Captain D. Querfel, the brilliant running center of the senior sextet, shooting baskets in great style. At the end of the half the sophomores were trailing, with the score 13 to 6 against them.
The seniors worked their short pass game to even better advantage in the last half and added eighteen additional points. Captain Quirion Qefeld continued to star, making eleven field goals during the contest. R. Endacott and S. Trant also figured in the scoring with two field goals apiece and a free throw to the credit of Brown out of three attempts. For the sophomore team, E. Allen and R. Trant, the two forwards counted the field goals. Trant showed especially well.
The junior-freshman battle was by far the most interesting, and it was only by close guarding and a great offensive that the women of the third class were able to down the fresh sextet. The score was 6 to 3 in favor of the freshmen at the end of the first half. The first year women did great work with the passing game, and their team work compared favorably with that of the seniors.
Both teams played a clean game the juniors making no fouls and the freshmen only two. The juniors played a good game considering the fact that their captain, L. Heathman was unable to get in the battle on account of sickness caused by smallpox vaccination. C. Martin, at left guard, acted as captain in her place. I. Tihen, who played her first game for the junior team yesterday, did unusually well at right guard, her guarding helping materially in holding down the frosh scoring.
The games yesterday were the first to be played at the University under the new rules which allow both centers to throw field goals. None of the centers scored in the games yesterday mainly because they have not become accustomed to throwing kickoffs,刃具竞赛 in the future will develop these two centers into parts of the scoring machinery of the women teams.
The women athletes predict close and interesting contest next Saturday when the seniors and freshmen clash and the sophomores and juniors meet. Many believe that the first year women are due to give the mighty senior sextet a great battle. The other contest appears to be a toss up with the edge slightly in favor of the juniors if all the regulars get in the line-up.
The games Saturday morning will start at 10:30 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium. There will be only two more series of games after this; one on Wednesday and one on Saturday of next week. The athletic board of the W. A. A. has invited members of the K. U. Varsity basketball squad to attend all of the remaining games which the women will play. Are admitted to these games with students in tickets or 25 cents. (NOVIS (31) G FT F

SPORT BEAMS
Carl Rice was displaying a little of his old-time form in the high jump yesterday afternoon. He cleared the bar at five feet and eight inches without any trouble in his first trial. Rice did six feet at the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival last year, where he placed second.
Clarence Little, mainstay of the track team at Southwestern College last year, is working out on the track daily. He placed second in both the 220 and 440 yard dashes and third in the 100 yard dash at the state meet last year and was chosen to captain the 1918 team at Southwestern, but decided to enter the School of Medicine here.
Coach Hamilton has a big squad of track man from which to pick a squad this year, but most of the material is green and inexperienced. A large number of students are taking track instead of military drill.
Smith, centerteacher on the K. U. freshman nine last year, is in school this semester and says he is coming out for the team. Smith was one of the hardest hitters on the fresh outfit and should make a strong bid for a place on the Varsity.
Ames won a fast game from Drake Tuesday, 33-21. Boyd and Aldrich starred for the Iowa Aggies while Captain Hawley was the stellar performer for Drake.
Hawley of Drake is the high score man in the Valley conference, having made practically all of Drake's points. Dutch Uhrhul of the Jayhawkers is also near the top in points scored.

"War a Hun Industry That Must Be Broken" Says French Officer
Army Men Bring Plea To Campus For Greater National Unity
Americans Lack Discipline
Selected Soldiers Are But Cross Section of Democracy— Adjutant Massex
"War is a Prussian and German industry," said Capt. H. Monroe, of the French army, who was one of the four army officers from Camp Founton to talk at the convoction yesterday afternoon before University students and Lawrence people in Robinson Gymnasium.
"You know as well as I do, that this war industry will be broken. It is the leaders from the aristocratic class, the university men, and the business men in Germany who have been doing the atrocities. They wage a war like that of ten or twelve centuries ago.
"When the war began, France had what you call conscientious objectors, but one of the leading pacifists is now the greatest patriot of the land. I never realized what fraternity was before the war started. The fraternity between the officer and the soldier is wonderful.
HATRED WILL CONTINUE
"I think Americans are idealists. I think fighting for the liberty of your domain admire people who fight for ideals.
YOUTH CALLED TO FACE FACT
"This national army is a cross-section and the core of democracy," declared Capt. C. J. Masseck, adjutant of the 353rd Kansas Infantry regiment, who also talked at the meeting. "When you laugh at or sneer at the national army, you are laughing at democracy.
"Some of you in the universities are sentimental piddlers; you are afraid to face a fact. There are too many young men who wear only a belted coat who can stand half-way at attention. You have got to decide. It is either democracy or aristocracy. By your answer you are known. Think it over."
AMERICANS LACK DISCIPLINE
Col J. H. Reeves, commander of the 353rd All-Kansas Infantry regiment stationed at Funston, told of the duties of a commander of a large group of men and showed that he is kept busy practically every minute of the day. He explained that the work in the army was one continuous school, for the men were studying and taking examinations all of the time.
AMERICANS LACK DISCIPLINE
"The Americans as a nation have little discipline," he explained "but discipline is one of the necessary military. And so it is necessary in the remainder of the nation, if we are to win this war."
"The chief thing," Capt. John E. Few said, "that troubles England now is a shortage of food, and food regulation is a real thing with us. We have wheatness day every day. In the restaurant the other day I asked the waiter in carrying off the portion of turkey left over to save it; he slapped a plate down on it and it probably was thrown down. In England such a man could be prosecuted and probably put in jail."
OFFICERS SERVE MOST
OFFICERS SAVE MOST Captain Few said that the papers of this country did not have enough war news and that the American people must get used to longer casualty lists. He asked when the men students would realize that the nation wants the university student.
"Lack of discipline at Gallipoli lost that campaign for the British," Captain Few said. "Two battalions had taken the ridge, but they went too far and the Turks saw that they were only few in numbers. The result was the return of the Turks and the necessary abandonment of the position captured.
"I do not know what games you play here, but there is no better exercise than bomb-throwing. Don't join as a private. As an officer your chance of death is ten fold that of a private's, while your chance of service to your country is hundred fold. Any scoundrel can die for his country. It takes a man to live for it."

Blackfriars Will Give Greek Play In Spring
At a meeting of the Blackfriars Club Wednesday night in Fraser Hall the following new members were elected: Dorothy Brown, Leah Stewart, Helen Peffer, Nadine Blair, and Mac Naughten.
Plans for the presentation of a Greek play in the spring were discussed and a committee composed of Miss Burnham, Esther Roop, and Susan McDonald was appointed by the president, Lucile Means, to select a play. Another meeting of the club will be held next week.
Only 113 men who were in the Tuscania disaster are still missing; according to the latest reports.
The German armies have taken from Belgium and France during the war about 1,800,000 head of cattle.
The War Here and Over There
Orders have been received from Washington for the interment at Fort Leavenworth of nine alien enemies from Kansas.
American troops in this country may now put on parades and reviews in cities near their training camps under an order recently issued by Secretary Baker.
The present amount of Russian paper money in circulation is estimated at 18,000 million rubles as against 1,633 million rubles before the war.
Ross H. Clayton, Leon Harms, W. D. Sorgatz and Don Gardner are the K. U. men who have been accepted for the officers' training camp in the aviation section.
There is considerable confusion in Congress over the bill introduced at the suggestion of President Wilson giving the president dictatorial powers in reorganizing the executive branch of the government without consulting Congress. At present it seems unlikely that the bill will pass as framed, but it is thought probable that a similar bill giving more specific, instead of such blanket powers may be passed.
Seniors Are Excused From Finals To Relieve Commencement Rush
Comes As Surprise To Last Year Students—Asked for Many Years
Members of the senior class are rejoicing this week over their victory in the war which has been fought for years here at the University for exemption from final examinations. The University Senate voted this week to excuse from final examinations at the close of this semester all seniors whose grades in a course are "B" or higher.
"The University knows pretty well who will be eligible for a degree," said Chancellor Strong this morning, "and I think that this honorable exemption from quizzes is due to those students that have put in four years work at the University. Many a senior is deprived of much of the enjoyment of his graduation from college, and it is a shame that he is fatigued at the last minute of his year's work by a nerve wracking grind to prepare for quizzes."
Seniors were surprised to learn of the action of the Senate, as no movement had been made this year to petition the faculty for this privilege. The Chancellor's Cabinet in planning for the commencement exercises this spring, decided that it would be an advantage to the seniors of good standing in their work to be rescued from quizzes before com-
For many years there has been an organized movement of the seniors o gain exemptior.
The Chancellor's Cabinet anticipated the usual drive that would be made this year. The war has done much to change the University's regulations and this is probably the most effective change that has been made.
Bible Study Campaign Approved By Faculty At Meeting Yesterday
The faculty favors the campaign for Bible study just launched here as part of a nation-wide movement.
Faculty and Students Discussed K. U.J's Part in World Movement at Westminster
At a meeting of the faculty held last night at Westminster Hall, the campaign for organizing Bible study work among faculty and students was outlined by Hugo Wedell, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The history of the nation-wide movement was given by Miss Katherine Duffield, Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., and Chancellor Frank Strong and members of the faculty expressed their idea of the need of such a campaign.
Superintendent Raymond A. Kent, of the Lawrence Schools, spoke to the effect that this campaign is the biggest since the opening of the war.
"The world has tried everything except the teachings of Jesus to solve its social ill," said Chancellor Strong. "In my estimation the world after the war cannot be reconstructed up without the teachings of the New Testament are applied to the life of the individual and to the conduct of nations."
It is planned to have discussion rather than lecture groups for both faculty members and students. The following persons have volunteered to teach classes: Professor and Mrs. W. J. Baumgartner, Prof. F. R. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. George O. Foster, Prof Grace Charles, Prof C. C. Williams, the Reverend Gordon Thompson, Prof L. E. Sisson, Dr William Proff. L. E. Sisson, and Mrs. C. Terrill. Ness Essex, Prof S. Sharp, Mrs. F. H. Glebschrat, Miss Emily Berger, the Reverend Frank Jennings, Prof W. W. C. Nemnoun, Prof A. S. Olin, Dean L. E. Sayre, Miss Kate Rigs, Prof F. R. Johnson, the Reverend Ross Sanderson, Carl J. Williams, Miss Katherine Duffield, Hugo Wedell, Supt. R. A Kent and Prof N. P. Sherwood.
The movement is the outgrowth of the Student Volunteer Conference held in Northfield, Mass., at which twenty-four nations were represented.
Professor Stimpson will talk about "Propagation of sound from explosions and gun fire" and "Zones of silence." Persons interested will be welcome.
Physics Colloquium will meet Monday, February 11, at 4:00 o'clock in Room 203, Blake Hall.
97 Freshmen Enroll For Track; Good Men Coming Out Slowly
Athletes Are Attracted By Chance to Enter K. C. A. C. Meet, March 2
With the first conference meet only two weeks off and ninety-seven men enrolled for track, there will be strong competition for positions because Coach Hamilton will have to depend on green material for his 1918 team. With Murphy and Rice as a nucleus the coach expects to build a strong team, as many good men have come out for track because of the unusual opportunities for new men this year.
It's Your Patriotic Duty
Some good track man enlists each week according to Coach Hamilton. This condition will hurt the team all spring. "Any of you men who have any ability whatever can make good this spring if you will put forth an honest effort and train as a track man should," the coach tells his athletes.
Basketball games have interfered with practice but from now on the team will have the use of the board tracks on the gym floor and the circular track above. Rice and Murphy believe they have some good material in the new men.
A few freshmen have already shown up well this season attracted by the chance to enter the meet held at Convention Hall in Kansas City, March 2, under the auspices of the K. C. A. C., if they make good, the freshmen have turned out well.
The class in stenography and typewriting will meet on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Room 131 Fraser. Admission to the class is limited to students who need the work for immediate practical use, and especially to upperclassmen. It will require as much time as any five hour course and should not be undertaken by students who are already enrolled for a

Plain Tales From The Hill
YES. REAL DISCIPLINE!
After having heard the recent discourse on the discipline of a soldier, a buck private in the rear rank rises to inquire if it is for disciplinary purposes that military drill classes are frequently held fifteen or twenty minutes over time. He doesn't attempt to say what he thinks of it, however. That's discipline!
To those chronic knockers, beefers,
and kickers who take delight in emitting loud and long howls about the dearth or scarcity of student directories this year, we wish to call their attention that two new student directories are now reposing on our book rack. But yes, Algernon, you're eight. They's last年 directory stories.
Members of the class in Introduction to Philosophy are getting the idea of questions of fundamental import the first shot out of the box. For instance the second time after the class met, a sophomore walked over to a friend and tapped him on the shoulder. "Say kid," he inquired anxiously. "Do you suppose if old Heraclitus or Pythagoras were alive now that they would be named Smith or Jones?"
It was meatless day and he really wanted to be patriotic so he racked his brain to plan a meatless order. Finally in desolation he said, "Oh well, bring me an egg order—some eggs and ham."
A sophomore who begs that his name not be used slipped this one over the other day. One hour later, to his consternation, he found that his accident insurance policy had expired the week before:
'A self important sergeant was drilling some newly enrolled students in military drill. "Hold on there!" exclaimed the sergeant suddenly. 'I notice, Private Jones, that in marching you lift your leg too high.'
"Can't help it," said Private Jones.
"I got an ierk in that leg."
"Lemme see," said the captain,
"Now march toward me and lift both your legs at the same time so's I can see which one comes the highest."
OR IS IT TEN?
A cut in military drill made up in time saves.
Norbert To Finish First
Set of Games Tomorrow
Seniors Play Freshmen; Juniors and Sophomores Clash In Gym
The last two games of the first set of the women's basketball interclass series will be played tomorrow morning at 10:30 when the seniors play the sophomores and the seniors play the freshmen.
The present standing is seniors first, juniors and sophomores tied for second, and the freshman last. While the freshmen have won no games as yet, there is promising material in the squad according to Coach Hazel Pratt, and in practice they measure up to the upperclass teams in speed and number of goals tossed.
Irene Then, now a junior on the Hill is re-enrolled this semester, and will make a valuable addition to the team. She played on the freshman and sophomore teams of what is now the senior class. For the last three years the seniors have held the championship and are still in the lead. Joyce Brown, c'18 and Sarah Tran, c'18, have been stars on this championship team every year, and are valuable as field goal tossers.
Razing of Old North College Recalls Its History of the Past
The elimination series, which will follow this set of games will begin next Wednesday, February 13 at 7 o'clock.
Work of Tearing Down First Building of the University Has Started
Marked Beginning Of K. U.
Structure Is Over Fifty Years Old and Has Slowly Crumbled
Thus is seen the decline of the once premier building of the state of Kansas and Lawrence.
North College is being torn down. The highest bid for the building was $100. The lowest bidder wanted the University to pay him $800 to raze the structure—News item.
To get the building for Lawrence, the citizens of the city were compelled by the terms of the act of the state legislature which awarded the college to Lawrence in place of Emporia or Mahattan, to raise an endowment fund of $15,000 and also give a grant of forty acres of land. The endowment fund $4,000 in cash was given by Amos Lawrence of Boston.
"Old timers" in Lawrence remember the struggle Lawrence had with Manhattan and Emporia for the location of the school. Manhattan, however dropped out of the race when the national government made a large appropriation of land for agricultural purposes. Emporia presses claims but a punishment to the University in Lawrence on Nov. 2, 1863.
The building of North College was begun under the direction of religious organizations. Both the Presbyterians and congregationalists were anxious to establish a college here but the war and drouth interfered with their plans. The Congregational school is now Washburn at Topeka.
Enrollment at the opening of the University was fifty-five. The faculty consisted of Chancellor R. W. Oliver and four other members. The titles given to the professors are curious. E. J. Rice was president and professor of Mental, Moral Science and Belles Letters; David H. Robinson as professor of Ancient Language and Literatures. Frank H. Snow was professor of Mathematics and Natural Science and Albert Newman was Lecturer upon Hygiene and Sanitary Science.
Chemistry and German were added to the curriculum in the third year when the enrollment had increased to 122.
In 1877 North College which had heretofore been the only building of the University of Kansas as usurped of that honor when University Hall was named Fraser Hall in honor of General Fraser who once served as Chancellor.
But now the highest price for the old building is $11 and some believe the contractor should have been paid to take it away.
Books and Money To Be Returned By Exchange
Sales Have Been Smaller This Year—Stock of Books Was Larger
"Students who turned in books at the book exchange are urged to call for their money today and tomorrow" said Walter Raymond. Hours that the exchange will be open are 9:00 to 12:00 o'clock and 2:00 to 5:00 on Friday; and 9:00 to 12:00 o'clock on Saturday.
Mr. Raymond said their stock of books has been larger this year than previously but the sale smaller. This partly due to the decrease in enrollment and partly due to the fact that many professors are trying to economize by demanding fewer text books. Also there seems to be a greater tendency on the part of the students to cooperate in the buying and using of books.
The managers of the Exchange are very anxious to have all books and cash called for today and tomorrow as when books are allowed to remain they are likely to be lost since there is no place to keep them. It is wished to straighten up all accounts by Saturday night.
First rehearsal for the K. U. Follies has been postponed till Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock.

A REAL WAR
The first big loss of the war since this country entered the conflict has sent its shock to the University of Kansas. Coming at a time when it appeared that the Hun submarine menace was controlled, it was doubly felt. It does not seem remarkable that such a thing could occur, for more than 200,000 Americans and many Canadians have crossed the waters for service in France. They were transferred safely. It was a British ship under British convoy which allowed the U-boat to slip in and do the damage, reports say.
But many of us will say it was the fortune of war and that it points the way to more and larger losses in the future. But with convvoys such assistents should be reduced to a minimum.
The college student who "waits tables" to pay his way through university, usually has others to wait on him when he gets out of school.
The result of this big loss will be shown in the increased activity in Red Cross work, food conservation thrift purchases, fuel and heat saving, and in a general more active interest in the war. The students of the University will take more seriously the doing of the little things that the war authorities at Washington have asked of this nation. It calls to mind that this war is a real war and not a bad nightmare as it seemed before the United States go into the fight.
If there was a University of Kansas man on board—and there is every likelihood that there was—it will bring home all the more vividly the reality of war.
LESS IDLE CRITICISM!
"I didn't get a thing out of that course, absolutely not a thing." "It's a snapp"
"It's a snap."
"Don't get Professor Blank, he will bore you to tears!"
"You will 'get by' all right if he likes you, but if he doesn't-"
"That course is not worth wasting time on."
It is easy to criticize, isn't it?
There is an old axiom, apropos of the law of compensation, which says something about one getting just as much out of a thing as one puts into it.
How can a student know how much labor an instructor has put into the building up of a course, or how according to his experience and viewpoint he is following the dictates of his conscience in dealing with his students? What does the student base his thoughtless criticism on? Unquestionably, this sort of student sentiment does much harm. It destroys a very precious commodity, faith and respect for the faculty as a whole.
Perhaps there are as few faculty members who court flattery, who play favorites, who are guilty of malicious and spiteful actions, or who have so much faith in human nature that their courses are snaps. But these are few, and exceptions to the rule. In the majority of the cases where friction or dissatisfaction arises it is the fault of the student.
Plant a spring crop of more honest effort and less idle criticism.
Our one big ambition is to so arrange that, when the alarm clock of the ambitious hypocrite across the hall launches on its fifth intermittent bombardment, he will be aroused by the deluge of a brim-full bucket of ice water.

ON OTHER "HILLS"
Dr. French, of John Hopkins, has announced the discovery of a hitherto unknown poem by Poe. It is dated 1833 and is entitled, "The Serenade."
On account of war, the registration of Harvard University has been reduced to 1,972. This means a decrease n income of about $300,000.
A cougar, measuring seven feet from the nose to the tip of the tail and weighing 220 pounds, has been received at the University of Washington.
The workings of the quarterly system of school and war conditions at the University of Washington are both blamed for the slump in enrollment at that school.
The question of whether final examinations are "to be or not to be" hereafter is receiving considerable attention at Ithaca at present, the Cornell Daily Sun having committed itself as being strongly in favor of their abolition. Communications from faculty members are making good "copy" for the paper now.

Although many college and university glee clubs came to financial grief on their Christmas concert tours, Student Life at Washington University reports that the musical club had the most profitable and enjoyable trip on record there during vacation.
Word has been received from Washington that 700 student aviators will arrive soon at the School of Military Aeronautics at Austin, all having been transferred from the school at Atlanta, Ga., which has been converted into a school for supply officers. The transfer means that the capacity of the S. M. A. at Austin must be practically doubled.
Purdue Loses First Man Purdue claims that the first American soldier wounded in France was a Purdue student.
The Outing Club's offer to teach all aspirants how to ski brought forty-seven students out last week. A short trip was taken to acquaint the new men with the principle of the sport.
Seventeen captivating co-eds will conduct a sales campaign for the 1919 Gopher a week from next Tuesday. Twenty-five stations on the campus will dispense the coupons—for a consideration—which will entitle the holder to receive a copy of the book in May. Each of the seventeen co-captains a team which will compete with the others for the honor of recognition in the Gopher as the "best sellers."
A card party is to be given Feb. 9, by the women of the University of Illinois. The proceeds of the party will go to the war relief fund.

MENTAL LAPSES
AN ODE TO SPRING
By A. Poet.
TELLING HIM
He was one of those young men who never seem to know when to go home. She had tried yawning, but even that failed to get rid of him.
Presently a clock outside in the hall began to strike in low, deep tones the midnight hour.
"Oh, I say, Miss Green," said the late stayer, brightly, "is that an eight day clock?"
"You scientific fellers know a heap, I s'pose; but I'll bet you can't tell me how to save that big pile of perla-tion from the farmer. The rott's into 'em."
Miss Green smiled coldly at him. "Well," she said, stifling another yawn, "why don't you stay a little closer and find out."—Philadelphia Ledger.
ADVANCE SCIENCE
"I haven't paid a penny for repairs on my machine in all the ten months I've had it!" said the motorist.
"No, is ain't. I'll feed the pigs on 'em, and then eat the pigs."—Country Gentleman.
"N-o. They are past saving," observed the scientist.
"They are, eh? Well, I'm goin' to eat them portaters." I am, "I'm goin' to eat them portatives."
"So the man who repaired it told me!" said a friend in corroboration.
—Country Gentleman.
"You don't have to pay nothing for lightning," answered Maxie—Chicago News.
"Maxie," queried the teacher of the juvenile class, "What is the difference between electricity and lightning?"
REFUSED TO BE CRITICIZED
Governess: Darohy, won't you give
your little brother part of your ap-
partment?
Little Dorothy: No. Eve did that and has been criticized ever since.—Judge.
"Truly, am I the first girl you even kissed?"
"You are my darling, and it makes me happy to hear you say I am the first man who ever kissed you."
EXPERTS?
"If I am the first, how does it happen that you do it so expertly?"
"And if I am the first how do you know whether I do it expertly or not?" Country Gentleman.
"I thought he had been longer than," said the Caller.
"He has," said the Boss. "He has been here for four months."—Milwaukee Sentinel.
"About four hours," replied the Boss.
How long has that clerk worked for you?" asked the Caller.

Judge: Where did the automobile hit you?
Hub: I have hopes of one. She asked time to look up my standing in Bradstreet.—Transcript.
Wife: Did you find a cook?

The Quartermaster (to a new arrival): Now my lad, what do you want?
The New Arrival: I hear you keep shirts. Will you show me some please?—Sketch.
Her Husband: Well, not to mention my graceful manner of scratching matches, I'd like to see you hang all your clothes on one small nail in the closet.—N. Y. Globe.
Mrs. Pester: If there's anything you can do that I can't do quite as well I'd like to have you name it.
She: "It may be, but it hasn't come yet."
Senior: "Don't you think my moustache becoming?"

North College Woodwork
May Furnish Od Relics
Fund From Sales Would Be Given For War Work
Reading lamps, pen trays, and other useful articles may be on sale Commencement week to alumni and students. These articles will be more than merely useful, they will be relies of the first University building, North College. For example one of the black walnut spindles from the staircase will be saved in two, each piece mounted on a block of wood, with silk shades, and two reading lamps will result. The doors on window casings would also furnish wood for articles.
Miss Agnes Thompson, secretary of the Alumni Association is the originator of the plan. Miss Thompson suggests that the fund derived from the sales be given to the Red Cross or some war work.
Chancellor Frank Strong endorses the plan, and leaves its execution to John Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, if upon investigation, Mr. Shea finds the plan feasible.
At the direction of Mr. Shea the more valuable pieces of woodwork have been removed from the building some time since. Mr. Shea said this morning that the workmen he employs are sufficiently skilled to make the articles, and that time can be found to make them provided there is any market for them. Whether the articles are made will depend upon the opinion of Chancellor Strong on the matter, Mr. Shea said.

Jayhawkers Take Last Workout Before Hard Games With Washington
Play
Team Is In Good Condition— Football Stars
Coach Hamilton's basket tossers took a last hard work lost last night before Washington University comes here for a pair of games Monday and good condition for the series with the Pikers, with the single exception that Matthews is not in the best of shape, but Uhlaub can be shifted to center if necessary and the lineup will not be materially weakened.
Although Washington has lost two games to Missouri, the Piker quintet has a couple of victories over Drake to its credit and both games were won by large scores. Duncker, Benway and Marquard, all veterans, form the nucleus of the St. Louis team and these men are liable to cajone the Washington defeated Kansas in one game last year and the Jahawkers are expecting two hard battles Monday and Tuesday.
The K. U. ouintet will probably resort to shorter passes and fewer long shots at goal in the Piker contests. The squad was practicing the short pass game last night against the freshmen and it worked well as the regulars smothered the yearling five by a score of 22-4 in a twenty minute scrimage. The Varsity handled the ball well and worked it near the basket before any attempt at goal was made.
Uhrlaub was at center last night for the regulars and Bunn, Miller and Fearing played the forward positions. Laslett, Rice and Knoles worked at the guard positions. Matthews, Mandeville, Lonborg, Barteldes and Keeler also got into the scrimage. Miller lead in the scoring against the freshman with four baskets and Uhrlaub and Bunn were next with two goals apiece. Scrubby Laslett's dribbling was a big assistance in the short passing game and the scrapy guard played a great game on the defensive end.
Indoor Practice Will Begin For Baseball Candidates Next Week
Many Men Enroll—Pratt and Smith Back In School
School
Indoor practice for battery candidates for the baseball team will begin the laver part of next week, according to Coach Jay Bond. The pitches and catchers will start limbering up and working out their arms and by this method, all sore arms should be eliminated by the time the entire squad begins work on the diamond on McCook Field.
While the battery men are limbering up on the main floor of the gymnasium, the remainder of the candidates for both the Varsity and freshman teams will compose a squad which will remain in the gymnasium for exercise until March. Some of the men will be put in boxing classes, some in wrestling, others will play basketball, even one enrolled for baseball will be placed in some form of exercise in this squad until the beginning of outdoor practice. By this means, the candidates should be in the best of condition by March and should be ready to start work on the diamond in earnest.
Prospects for a winning baseball team took a jump upward yesterday

when Joe Pratt, shortstop on last year's Varsity nine, returned to school and announced that he would enroll for the second semester. Pratt is enlisted in the navy but not been called and may be able to play with the team this spring. Smith will have to attend Clark's fresh squad last year, has all so enrolled for this semester and will be eligible for the Varsity.
Coyon Bond expects a big squad of baseball candidates who will work out regularly in the gymnasium and believes the material is in school for a go-ahead team, one that will rank well in Valley cities.

Seniors Defeat Frosh While Sophomores Win In Interclass Clashes
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 11, 1018.
The Third Series of Women's Games Show Seniors Strong Contenders
Senior women defeated the freshmen, 33-12, and the sophomores won from the junior sextet 18-9, in the third series of games Saturday morning for the girls basketball championship of the university. The seniors, last year's champions, displayed their usual great teamwork and their fast short passing game was too much for the first year girls.
The seniors started with a rush and scored several times before the freshmen made their first shot at the basket. The ball was near the senior goal practically all the time during the first period, and excellent goal shooting on the part of capital D. Querfield, S. Tran, J. Brown brought the upperclass team's score to 14-7. Good guarding by D. Tucker and R. Endacott had the freshmen to two field goals during this half.
the freshmen played a much better brand of basketball in the second half however, and the seniors, weakened by the withdrawal of their captain, barely managed to hold their own. Good goal shooting by H. Barnett and M. Wasson accounted for eight freshman points in this half but toward the end of the game, the senior sextet again commenced its machine-like play and the S. Trant-J. Brown combination scored three field goals in rapid succession, leaving the yellings far behind.
The junior-sophomore game. was close in the first half, with the juniors leading at the end of the period, 8-7. The teams appeared to be evenly matched but the sophomores began to play real basketball in the second and as a result scored eleven points in this period to a single free throw on their opponents. Superior goal shooting by the sophomores was directly responsible for the junior defeat, as each team had about the same number of trials at goal.
That the junior-sophomore contest was much harder fought than the senior-freshman game is shown by the fact that Referee Hazel Pratt called only two fouls in the latter game, while nine fouls were called on each team in the first round. The junior recipients received more than their penalties in the off, when they were trying hard to stop the big offensive of the sophomores.
R. Trant, the star running center of the sophomore team, starred for her team, and along with E. Allen, forward, accounted for most of the sophomore's points. I. Russell also played a good game at the other forward position. I. Tihen and M. Brown were the chief factors in the field goal. W. Babcock threw the other goal for the juniors.
The scores follow:

Get Your Dates Early For The Girls' Prom!
The Girls' From scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium, promises to be the best women's dance given this year. Large attendance is expected and several new features will be introduced. There will be good music and one more chance to wear that party frock. Get your dates early and come prepared for a genuine frolic.
"If you want a whole week's fun crowded into one afternoon and all for fifteen cents," said a senior girl, "don't miss the Prom."
The War Here and Over There
The allowance for food in the army camps is forty cents a day for each man.
An effort will be made by the government to enlist a quarter of a million shipyard workers this week.
Two and a half million tons of British shipping has been lost since the beginning of the war.
A bill has been passed by congress protecting the civil rights of all enlisted men during the war.
Under the new rules for physical examinations of drafted men few exemptions will be made. A missing arm or foot will not obtain exemption.
The government is collecting all the lenses it can secure in order to be able to equip the battleships with observation instruments.
Government insurance has been taken out by 22,891 of the 24,323 men in the thirty-fifth division at Camp Doniphan. The average amount of insurance taken by each man is about nine thousand dollars.
A volunteer army of half a million boys will be recruited under the supervision of the Y. M. C. A. to take the place of farm hands who have gone into war work.
A ship that cannot be sunk by a torpedo has been invented by a New Yorker, according to the vice-chairman of the naval consulting board. These ships will be put into use by the government as fast as they can be produced.
The government is urging an increased production of castor beans. Castor oil is used for lubricating the motors of the army airplanes, and much of this will have to be imported unless the production of the beans is greatly increased.
Frats Are Considering Bible Study Question
Once Again Aroma Of Cremated Cadaver
Following the usual custom the University incinerator was fired this morning, there being a strong wind from the south. Odds and ends of other organic matter were disposed of along with the remains of the cadaver used by this year's class in human anatomy.
The question of introducing Bible study classes into the fraternities will be presented to the members of all fraternities at their regular chapter meetings this evening.
The president of each fraternity, with one representeh this afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. office at o'clock when the idea was presented there by Dutch Wedell. The ado is to have regular Bible study hours at the fraternity houses, using as a text Rauschenbuch's Social Principles of Jesus. The sororites have already adopted the Bible study plan and are meeting with very satisfactory results.
"Yas'm, the smoke has just about the same odah as before, but this heaam a am brand new创ater, an' a lot batth, th than the old one. You see "a chimney is hign 'nuf to cay't the smoke, up ovaf the Fill"
Students going to and fro on the campus and even professors sitting in offices on the south of University buildings were aware of the fact that the incinerator was working. From statements made by several the general opinion of the student body differs from that of the caretaker in charge of the incinerator.
Y. W. C. A. and Women's Forum Surrender Regular Meetings To Assembly's Success
Margaret Lynn To Tell University Women About War Work Opportunity
The Young Women's Christian Association has cancelled the regular weekly meeting Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock in deference to the women's mass meeting to be held in Fraser Chapel at that hour.
A mass meeting for all university women will be held in Fraser chapel Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Miss Margaret Lynn director of war work for women, will talk on the relation of the university women to the war and will make announcements regarding the new Red Cross classes.
While this meeting is not called as a regular convocation for women Miss Lynn is desirous that every woman student attend since the plans will be of interest to everybody. The Y. W. C. A. has given it's regular meeting hour for the mass meeting and will have no meeting this week.
Arrangements are under way for volunteer service in making surgical dressings and for other war service as well as for classes in different kinds of Red Cross work. Also salary work is to be organized by the University women. Miss Lynn will be able to make many memories tomorrow and of other matters of importance to all those interested in the work the War Council is planning for the University.
Dr. Culp Will Outline A Bible Study Scheme At Convocation Friday
Topekan To Explain Specia Study Scheme For Different Groups On Hill
Dr. J. E. Culp, of the first Methodist Church of Topeka, will speak to the students and town people at a special convolution Friday at four o'clock on "Christianity and World Democracy." All of the military companies and other classes in physical education will be dismissed for convolution in Robinson Gymnasium. Dr. Culp will point out the relation
of Christianity to world democracy. "The Germans have broken all of the international laws and have had no regard for the teachings of Christianity in their administration of this war. If we expect Christianity to retain its standard and make the army and its life what it should be we must find some way of combating the evils that exist in such life," said Hugo Wedell this morning.
Dr. Culp will show how Christianity has and will help conditions in the army and at home. He will put before the students his plan of organization for the establishment of some form of Bible study among the students. This plan is new and Mr. Wedell believes it will be very effective in the University.
Following the speech by Doctor Culp, Chancellor Strong will give his opinion of the proposition. Other members of the faculty will make short talks telling how they think the organization of Bible classes among the different groups on the Hill will help win the war.
Can Get Grades Wednesday
Grades for the first semester can
be obtained from the office of the

have been given out before this time.
A force of clerks have been working since the end of the semester on the record books.
Sociology Club will meet Tuesday, February 12 at 7 o'clock, Room 4 ir Green Hall.
Wedell will present his plan of operation to the students. Wedell says this is something new in the line of Bible study.

The Men's Glee Club will meet in Fraser Hall, for regular rehearsal Tuesday night at 7:15 o'clock.
State Board Approves Plan Of Six-Day Week For K. U. Law Schoo
Proposal Was Passed On By Senate At Meeting Last Week
The State Board of Administration met in Topeka Friday night and approved the petition from the students in the School of Law for the six-day plan of school work, which was referred by the University Senate from its meeting last week.
Three-fourths of the students in the School of Law signed the petition on the grounds that the students of law would be greatly benefited by having classes on Saturday so that the school year would end two weeks earlier. The instructors in law are in favor of the plan which will be put into force this week.
Junior and Sophomore Sections In Jayhawker Promise To Be Large
Leading Class Members Urge Big Representations From Both Classes
The junior and sophomore sections of the 1918 Jayhawker promise to be unprecedented successes if the opinion of students prominent in those classes may be taken as an indication. The general opinion seems to be that this is the year of all years for undergraduates to insert their pictures in the University annual because it is possible that there will be no Jayhawker next year and because many students—especially the men-feel that they may not be back on the Hill another year, and that this will be their last opportunity to put their pictures in the official University year book.
Hershel Washington, president of the junior class, is especially anxious that the junior section be a big one. $^2$In the first place, he says, "a student who has been on the Hill three years ought to be imbued with the spirit of regard for the University that would cause him to want to preserve the happenings up here as they are preserved in The Jayhawker. This is doubly so at the present time, because they shall not be back next year, or that there may not be another Jayhawker after the 1918 book is published this spring."
Bruce Fleming, president of the sophomore class, advocates a large sophomore section. "Undergraduates ought to realize what it means to be able to get their pictures in the University annual," he says, "and should take advantage of the opportunity. I understand the Jayhawker is to be a fine book this year, and I certainly want our class well represented in it."
The campaign for junior and sophomore pictures, which has been pushed out quietly until the present, is now on in full blast. More than two hundred juniors are expected to put their picture in the book; and over half as many sophomores. The extremely low junior and sophomore dues—one dollar—have increased the popularity of these sections.
Personal solicitation of every member of the two classes will be made by members of the Jayhawker board and workers in each class. It will be necessary, however, for all those who want to turn in their pictures by February 28, the final date set, to have their photograph taken at some photographer's by February 23. Five days are required for finishing the pictures.
There will be a meeting of the German Verein at 3 o'clock Tuesday. Professor E. F. Engel will lecture on "The Teaching of German in High Schools."
Prof. E, V. Gage will talk before the French Club on "The Passion Play in the Marquises' Islands" Tuesday at 3 o'clock.
Three more tenors are needed for the Men's Glee Club. Applicants will please communicate with Director J. A. Farrell, 1008 Tennessee street.
Art Tucker, of Florence, is a visitor at the Sigma Chi house this week. He is on his way to Ann Arbor, Mich., where he will enter the Ordnance Training School about to begin there.
Senate Cuts Out Four Holidays With Approval of State Board
Easter Vacation From March 29 to April 1, Inclusive, Will Be The Only Holidays Observed During the Remainder of Year.
Recent Senate Action Closes Semester Nine Days Earlier
Rule Prohibiting Freshmen From Participating In Inter-Collegiate Athletics Remains Unsuspended—Faculty Sees No Need For Change
Plain Tales From The Hill
The four holidays, February 12 and 22 and May 1 and 30, will not be observed at the University this year, according to a decision made by the University Senate at a meeting held Friday afternoon and approved by the State Board of Administration Friday night.
Many people passing the Acoth house on Vermont street have been curious to know the name of the girl in active military service whose star is in the service flag on the door. A young man bravely inquired and found that the star was for Capt. J. S. Amick, the husband of the house matron, who is stationed at Camp Doniphan.
Members of the local police department shined up their stars and took a firmer grip on their clubs preparatory to issuing forth in hot pursuit of a band of desperate kidnappers one day last week when reports were circulated that a profession in the College had been abducted. Later developments of the case showed that the professor, who is near sighted, got lost in South Park when he strayed from the cinder path that leads through the park. He was later found wandering aimlessly in the wild region of Fourteenth and Massachusetts streets.
No change will be made in the usual Easter vacation. Easter Sunday falls on March 31 and the Friday before, March 29, and the Monday following. April 1, will be observed as usual.
Leaving the question as to whether they are or are not military camouflage open to discussion, it still remains evident that about seven out of every ten men students in K. U. are at present trying to grow them on their upper lips.
Found—One Harbinger
To the annual incursion of spring poets who will soon descend upon a helpless public, it might be suggested that another harbinger of spring, along with the robin and the first laisy, is the student from the old some town who has at last got his air cut.
As the thin, shivering line of heroes stood at attention last Friday, their blue, half frozen hands grasping the deadly—and cold—weapons at their sides, a private in the rear sink seriously remarked through chittering teeth: "Believe me! If 'alley Forge' was any colder than this, I'm sure glad I'm training for this war and not for the Revolution."
A student who has been tortured in a similar manner in the class room for several weeks suggests that a fit punishment for the average German military leader would be to sit him eternally in a class in front of the goof who spends his time tapping out a kettle drum solo with his foot on the chair in front.
Two Plays Wednesday
Give History Make-Up Exam Students of Medieval and of Greek history who failed to write the final examination last semester because of illness or vaccination may take the examinations from 10 to 12 Room 203 Administration Building. This will be the only opportunity for those who failed to take the quiz to write the examination, Prof. D. L. Patterson announced.
Two plays were written.
Two one act plays "Kid Curlers",
with a second act players,
and "Aurased at Last," by eight actors,
will be staged by candidates for
the Dramatic Club, Wednesday night at
the Little Theatre. The entertainments will begin at 7:30 o'clock and will be free to the public.

Returns Money on Books
The Student Book Exchange will be open Monday afternoon from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock, Tuesday morning from 9 to 10 o'clock and in the afternoon from 3 to 4 o'clock for students to get the money for books sold or books which were not sold.
By the elimination of these four holidays and the shortening of the commencement season the closing of school year is moved up nine days. Commencement will be held on Monday, June 3, instead of June 12 and the regular work of the semester will be completed with the final examinations which end June 1. This action was taken by the Senate because many students are eager to finish their work as soon as possible.
NO FRESHMAN ATHLETICS
The Senate also voted that the rule prohibiting freshmen from participating in inter-collegiate athletics should not be suspended during the war. The members deciding that there was no need for a change in the ruling at present.
Another ruling was made at the Senate meeting that women need not report for more than four days work each week in the department of physical education. Last semester there was a great deal of dissatisfaction among the women students because they were required to take cross-country hikes and other athletic exercise for five days each week. This was in addition to their regular class work.
UNIFORMES FOR DRILL IN 1918 All men enrold for military training in the fall of 1918 will be required to wear uniforms, according to resolution that was adopted at the Senate meeting upon the recommendation of the department of physical education. No requirements regarding uniforms were made this year as is the first year of military drill. Some of the students have been wearing parts of uniforms and uniforms this year. In order to have all of the uniforms of same type and material, the department of physical education will recommend an approved style, which will be the only kind that the men will be allowed to wear.
Prof. C. S. Skilton Lectures In the East
Under a plan to bring the University of Kansas and Wellesley College in closer relation, Prof. Charles S. Skilton, of the School of Fine Arts, left Sunday for Wellesley where he will spend several days in meeting classes in advanced composition. This corresponds to the idea of exchange professors but on a small scale, as Wellesley has made several visits here.
Melodies for five pieces have been sent on ahead by Professor Skilton. These will be composed by the classes at Wellesley when he gets there. While there he will give a public lecture on "Uses of American Folk Music" and an organ recital of his own compositions.
Professor Skilton will also give recitals at Vassar, Oberlin, Williams College and before the Harvard Club at Boston. He will give a series of lectures, too, at these institutions.
Plays By Dramatic Club
Raise $14 for Red Cross
The two popular plays, "Efficiency", and "Suppressed Desires," given Saturday night by the Dramatic Club, in the Little Theater in Green Hall, were successful. Every seat was taken and all who saw the plays have a good work for the Dramatic Club.
The door receipts for the two plays amounted to $20. The total expense for tickets, costumes, and advertising, was $6. The proceeds go to help the Red Cross in its world-wide work. The Dramatic Club is planning to give more such plays.

MORE MUSCLE NEEDED
MONDAY, FEB. 11, 1918.
Usually the same spirit which gives a school a reputation for clean and high grade athletics, gives it a reputation for enviable classroom achievement as well. That is why with the approach of spring, the eyes of the University of Kansas are on the men in track suits.
The track athletes this year have been charged with a responsibility they have never known before. Under the stress of war, every activity of the school has been threatened with weakened morale. This is natural, but it is not a hopeless situation.
Vigorous athletics this spring can well put on a bold face, and by defying the enemies of morale, actually strengthen universities activities. Perhaps nothing with a less appeal than good athletics can turn the trick.
The need now is for more interest in spring athletics, especially track. Only two old men are back for the team. Not nearly enough are training for the various events.
The time is approaching fast when the University must show its muscle. If it happens to be soft and flabby, it will be too apart to all that the reflection will be not on "K. U. athletics," but on the University of Kansas.
Semi-military uniforms remind one of camouflage, says Captain Masseck, who spoke at convocation Thursday. To the University students who wear such outfits this will be displeasing. It may result in either wearing regulation uniforms or none at all. The army does not permit half citizens and half army clothes; the military department at the University should have the same ruling. It at least will add dignity to the appearance of students who wear them.
CASTE SYSTEM NECESSARY 19182
Colonel Reeves did not say much of praise about the 535rd All-Kansas regiment of which he is commander, in his talk at convocation last week. University students were disappointed, for they were interested to know how the men in this regiment were treated and what sort of a showing this representative Kansas regiment was making.
He did not say that those 3,000 or more men in his regiment, and not the officers alone, were the making and basis of the success of the unit. Instead he told how the caste system is necessary to make the successful army.
University students have come to believe that the caste system except in Germany has been abolished as detrimental to democracy. It may be necessary to make the best sort of an army, but the comparison made of the caste system between the faculty and the students did not fit with that
of the officer and private. If a student does not obey or like suggestions which a professor makes, he can leave the University. In the army he must remain whether he likes it or not.
In marked contrast to Colonel Reeves view, was the statement of the French officer who said the fraternity between the officer and the soldier in the war was wonderful.
Now we know why the infantrymen are called "dough boys." Capt. J. C. Massick of the 353rd "All Kansas," Infantry says its "because they're always needed."

CAMOUFLAGE
Camouflage is a French species of the genus deception. It is a native of France and flourishes in great numbers these having its habitat among army camps and artillery bases. Owing to the disrupted condition of that country it has migrated to the United States in great numbers of late.
In the latter country camouflage has divided itself into two distinct classes according to its functions. The first class which is rapidly becoming known as "camel fudge" and which seems to be gaining the ascendency in America has for its distinguishing characteristic a tendency to make that which is not, appear that it is. The other class which is the lesser in America but which is still quite profile in France attempts to make that which it, appear as if it were not. This essay is principally concerned with the prevailing type in America "camel fudge."
In form it is not uniform but adopts itself in size, shape and manner of growing to its environment. Sometimes it appears on the upper lip of a boy under twenty-five years old with the intent of making him appear to be a man. On a woman it may take any one of a number of common forms. Usually it appears somewhere about the face and takes the form of powder or rouge.
There is one other variety which reserves mention here. It is known o newspaper men as "space filler." the foregoing lines are a fair sample if this last type of camouflage—Normal Bulletin.

Oregon is to adopt student coaching of baseball for the coming season. The new system resembles the one used at O. A. C. for the past few years. One member of the team will be chosen as coach.

ON OTHER "HILLS"
"The war has brought about a shortage of draftsman," declares Prof. F. G. Higeen of the college of Law, which is the university of Lown, "which is fairly critical."
As a remedy for this condition, Professor Higbee suggests giving a course in the summer session which would train women for subordinate positions in drafting offices. The salary for such positions would range from $15 per week at the start to $25 per week for persons who have had experience.
Cornell University has been asked by the War Department to open a school for radio engineers. Only men already specializing in electrical work are to be admitted.
Only DePaww students who registered under the draft law last June will receive credit for their semester's work in case they withdraw to enlist. No credit will be given students who volunteer and are not accepted.
According to the Harvard University War Records Office, between five and six thousand graduates and undergraduates are in war service.
Junior men of Indiana University have decided to wear buff corduroy vests for the remainder of the school year and the girls are considering buff puttees as a means of distinguishing juniors from other students.
On account of the failure of the students to support the Daily Nebraskan a plan is on foot to cut down the number of issues to four each week.

Kansas Meets Pikers In First Game of Last Home Series Tonight
Hard Struggle Is Ahead For Jayhawkers—Washington U. Defeated Nebraska
K. U. Plays N. U. This Week
Team Goes On Eastern Trip Next Week to Meet Tigers and Pilkers
Coach Hamilton's Jayhawkier basketkeers take on Coach Dick Rutherford's Washington University quintet at 7:15 o'clock tonight in the first game of the last home series of the K. U. five. Kansas will play Nebraska at Lincoln Friday and Saturday. Next week, the Jayhawkers will take an eastern trip and invade Columbia and St. Louis for return games with Missouri and Washington.
The Jayhawkers are expecting two hard games with the Washington basket tossers, who, although beaten twice by the Aggies last week, have played some good basketball this year and are capable of giving any team in the Valley a hard game. The Pilers swamped the Hawks by winning at St. Louis last week, winning the last by a 44-17 score. By taking both games from Kansas they can step into three place in the Valley race.
The probable lineup of the Pikers will be: Duncker and Benway, forwards; Marquard, center; Camp and Stapleton, guards. Duncker and Benway are veteran forwards and Benway is one of the best dribblers in the Valley. Marquard ranks with Hawley of Drake and Uhlshub of Kansas as one of the leading scorers in the Valley conference as his six field goals and eleven free throws in the last Washington-Aggie game will testify. Both Washington guards are new to Missouri Valley basketball and it is here that the Jayhawkers should have the edge on the games.

Kansas rooters seem to think that the basketball games tonight and tomorrow night will be easy victories for the Jayhawkers. This is probably because the Washington team is usually weak. When you consider that Missouri was barely able to win by three points in each of her games with the Pilkers and that they gave up three goals, it is seen that there is little foundation for the overconfidence of the Jayhawker roots.
St. Mary's college of Oakland, Cal., has already begun its baseball season. The California Catholic institution has played three games and has won them all.

High School Quintets Will Fight For Title At Lawrence In March
Manager Hamilton said he saw no reason why the games this year should not be as successful as ever, as the high schools throughout the state are enthusiastic over the prospects of coming to Lawrence as usual to settle their disputes concerning the state championship. Reports have been received by the Jayhawk team from four free agents in eight districts in the state, and each district has been unanimous in its approval of the 1918 tournament.
Stronger Teams Appear In Each Of Eight Districts Of Years
The Annual States High School Basketball tournament will probably be held in Lawrence March 22 and 23, according to Manager W.^O. Hamilton. In past years, the big high school elimination tournament has been hot during the same week that he was head coach indoors 'track meet at Kansas City.
In order to give sport followers a chance to attend both events and at the same time give Manager Hamilton more time for handling each, it was decided this year to schedule the basketball games a week later.
Newton, last year's champions has been setting a fast pace this season and with three or four veterans back, should make a great bid for another title. Wichita, Hutchinson, Winfield and other teams in the Arkansas Valley are also strong, and Emporia appears to be much stronger than last year. Achison and Leavenworth in the first district, Iola in the second and Parsons, Chartec and Pittsburgh in the third should stand high in the race, while Salina, Cawker City and other quintets in the western part of the state will undoubtedly be in the race for the championship.

Coach Hamilton is planning to send a track team to the annual K. C. A. C. indoor meet at Kansas City March 2. This is largely an individual meet, as no team scores are kept.

Smith Will Do War Work In Bureau of Standards
T. T. Smith, assistant professor in the department of physics has been called to work in the Bureau of Standards at Washington, D. C., where he will have charge of work in biocular and photographic lenses.
Professor Smith has been doing extensive work with the limited equipment at the University for the last the years and it was recognition of his work here that attracted the attention of the government. His position is of added importance because of the shortage of glass for the kind of lenses used by the military forces of the United States.

ROYAL ARMORY
FOURSCORE and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation—or any nation so conceive and so dedicated—can long endure.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot halow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember, what we say here; but it can never forget what they did here.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We are met to dedicate a portion of that field as the final resting place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is allogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
It is for us the living, rather to be dedicated here, to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Oread Organizations Are Backing Movement For Bible Study Work
"All sorceries of the University are backing the national movement for a discussion of the teachings of Jesus," said Hugo Wedell this morning, in telling of local efforts to address a national campaign to enroll students in Bible study classes. "All fraternity presidents heartily approved of the plan in a meeting yesterday, and presented the matter to their respective fraternities last night.
"Between 600 and 800 students have already enrolled in Bible study classes in sororities, fraternities, or Sunday school classes. The campaign for enrollment will begin definitively Friday night."
Five fraternities are planning to take the course in "Social Principles of Jesus," but the other organizations have not decided upon a definite plan. We'll keep them going with Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Sigma, Pi Ppsilon, and Alpha Tau Omega.
The following sororities have taken up study classes: Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, and Gamma Pi Beta are studying a course in the "Life of Christ," all under the leadership of Miss Katherine Duffield. Kappa Alpha Theta and Acoth are to study the "Social Principles of Jesus" by Walter Rauschenbusch, the leader of the former being Miss Kate Riggs and of the latter being Miss Elizabeth O'Mara. O'Mara is taking up a study of the "Social Teachings of Christianity" led by Miss Duffield. Alpha Xi Delta ill take up some study under Mrs. A. C. Terrill, hile Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Kappa have not determined their course or leader.

State Authorities Ask The Why of Dress Suits
James A. Kimball, business manager for the Board of Administration, is trying to find out why the state of Kansas is expected to pay for the rental of eight dress suits used for the All University party last fall. He noted that time of wear, the students should refrain from all such extravagances.
As a matter of fact these dress suits were rented to be used by the actors in the minstrel entertainment for the students who were at the party. They were to be paid for out of the annual budget allowed to Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, who has charge of social life at the University. The state provides for an annual all-University party.
The party this year, a Halloween affair, was very plain, and the refreshments were of the simplest kind.
Plain Tales From The Hill
If there are any students at K. U. who are trembling with the emotion characteristic of the apprehension of evil over the results of final examinations, the next best thing after seeing the profs is to interview the postman. A professor in the School of Fine Arts who was going on a concert tour left some final quiz papers in his mail box where he had told his pupils to get them. The postman beat the students to it and they were very much surprised when later they found quiz papers, letters from home and statements from bill collectors all in one delivery.
Yes, Alonzo, yes! Love! We will find a way, and there is something new under the sun. Just listen to this: One of the student instructors in wireless had a date last Saturday night. The date was with one of the young ladies in his wireless class who can receive twenty words a minute—that is, over the telegraph. According to custom this young Romeo called her up early in the evening. But he didn't want any of the gang to hear the words meant for her ears only so he didn't resort to messing with to convey his thoughts. He simply placed a buzzer near the mouthpiece of the telephone and commenced sending. Dots and dashes flew from the buzzer through the phone to the ears of his star wireless nunil.
Yes, she understood and was ready to go to the dance at eight o'clock.
An unsuspecting student was greatly horrified not long ago when as he was standing in Fraser Hall a young lady ran up to him and blushingly held out her left hand. The young man had never seen the co-ed before but he gazed upon her face in mute admiration until she pointed at the thief finger of her outstretched hand on which sparkled a huge diamond. The young man looked at the ring and gulped and then the co-looked at the man's face and gasped. Then both executed an about face and ran to the end of the hall.
Lincoln Shadow Not Forecast Of Holiday
While far from the campus last night, oblivious of all date rules and regulations, the young student and her handsome escort suddenly stopped short upon seeing the profile picture of Abe Lincoln looking calmly up at an alleyway on the side walk on the south west corner of tenth and Tennessee.
Neither had ever before noticed the strange silhouette caused by the reflection of the street light on the roots of a tree which were cut off when the pavement was laid. Both were struck by the singular appearance of this famous American on the night before his birthday and decided that it was the forecast of a holiday for today, in which students could muse upon his wonderful achievements.
Overjoyed, the happy girl rushed home to her roommate to spread the tidings of the revelation that had been visited upon her. The roommate, however, raised her head from a puzzling chemistry book just long enough to say, "Please be quiet. That thing has been there for years. The Senate rule that there would be no holiday tomorrow."

Wednesdays Will Be Holidays In Gym Work For University Women
Credit Will Not Be Allowed In War Work As Substitute For Gym
Ruling Effective At Once
Reorganization of Department Necessitated By Change In Gym Requirements
"The change made Friday by the University Senate requiring all women students of the University of Kansas to take exercise four days a week rather than five has caused great consternation among our departments," said W. O Hamilton, head of the department of physical education and Mrs. E. D. Teeter of the department of home economics.
The board of physical education met yesterday and decided upon Wednesday as the best day of the week in which to eliminate physical exercise. There will be no physical exercise for women tomorrow—the ruling having gone into effect immediately. This will distribute exercise for women over the entire week of having it in four consecutive days.
Coach H. milton said this morning, "This ruling will mean that no credit in the department of physical education will be given for the Red Cross courses or courses in food conservation which have been installed at the request of the Food Administrator, Hoover.
"The only credit which will be given in Red Cross work from now on will be credit for that knitting for which the yarn is already checked out," caid Coach Hamilton, today noon.
"It also means that the department of physical education will have to reorganize all the plans that they have for compulsory exercise and the adoption of compulsory exercises."
In reducing the amount of exercise to four days members of the Senate considered it unnecessary to include in the motion a limitation of freedom from exercise to one definite day of the week. "That," said the Chancellor, "naturally would be understood in the motion."
With Wednesday courses eliminated in classes in every kind of exercise offered will be reduced and since most of the Red Cross and Food conservation courses offered were to have been given on Wednesday, women students will have their choice in enrolling in these courses without receiving any credit whatever or of dropping them. That is, unless some further action be taken by the Senate requiring credit to be given in war work.
This last decision of the University Senate in regard to exercise for women resulted from a reconsideration of the rule passed the last of October requiring every woman not physically unable to take some form of physical exercise for one hour five days of the week. Later a petition, formulated at a general women's mass meeting, was presented to the Senate. This petition prayed for a reduction of the requirements for women's exercise to one hour three days of each week. The petition was tabled.
Faculty Company Drills Three Times Each Week
Three Squads of Professors, Like Students, Maneuver With Wooden Guns
The faculty military drill now consists of three aquads drilling three times a week for an hour or more each drill period from 4:30 till 5:30. Professor G. C. Shaad, acting dean of the School of Engineering is drilling the company.
The faculty are taking setting-up exercises, squad movements, and the manual of arms with the guns provided by the School of Engineering During the bad weather the company drills in Marvin Hall.
Postpone Forming of Club
No definite plans were made for the organization of the club which is to have for its members all women who have earned "Aa" during their attendance at the University at the meeting of "A" girls Saturday. A meeting will be held Thursday at 7:15 o'clock at the Gym.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1918.
THEN AND NOW
Comparisons of Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson are unenable, are really pointless. Different times, different men—and different leaders of men are here. The world was simple in human relationship and political structure and commercial organization in 1861 when the present unwieldy intricacy takes form beside it and beyond it. President Lincoln's issues were simply resolved and the future was definitely one thing or another, logically and inevitably the one thing which did finally prevail. A nation so conceived and so dedicated, under the God of Lincoln, the American, did survive.
Not quite a year ago the native land of Abraham Lincoln came into the struggle. It came the nation he believed it to be and helped to make it. It came with clean hands without need of war to be cleaner. It came in the ancient spirit of sacrifice for the everlasting good of the race, that every nation might live its life within its independent rights to contribute to the good of the rest, that a world might be at peace with itself.
Wilson is a worthy successor in leadership of the people in the continuous struggle upward and onward through all time. And there will be other leaders for other times.
But Abraham Lincoln, the American, the man chosen by God, laid straight the way, crossed the threshold and left his country and now the world with the vision which is the hope of all mankind. This is his day. He is with his people, still.
Philips University at Enid, Oklahoma, rejected the six-day school plan recently because the president of the institution showed that fifty per cent of the students were women, and the men who would go into the fields or farm after May 1, were by far in the minority. He also showed that there was little need of labor in the middle of May in Oklahoma, the wheat not being ready for harvest until June.
A LITTLE INCONSISTENCY
Winter weather is not the only variable thing in Kansas. There are legislative assemblies which can blow hot and cold in the same hour, The University Senate abolished holidays and set the close of this semester four days earlier at the session Friday afternoon. And then the temperature dropped and freshmen were excluded from competition in intercollegiate athletics. To be progressive was wearisome.
Holidays are infrequent at the Front. Every undergraduate of this University is glad for their being less frequent here. Every student is looking forward even to the few additional days for helping the folks back home. Four days of labor is a partial answer to the call coming from short-handed industry and agriculture.
ture in Kansas this year. The cancellation of holidays is a moderate answer to the six-day week plan.
The answer to the freshmen was more than moderate; it was quite usual, quite apathetic. Their Varsity eligibility denied, freshman athletes will cool their uncalloused heels until the end of the sensibly shortened semester while the meager representation of depleted upperclass tries to uphold the athletic standards of the University. This is against the recommendation of the University athletic board and in agreement with the University of Missouri, probably the only other institution in the Missouri Valley to reject freshman eligibility, recommended by the Missouri Valley conference officials after two years of deliberation.
Not for the sake of any college exuberance of spirit over sporting contests—war has leavened that—but rather that the evidence of physical fitness in Kansas shall not be foeble or faltering or apologetic, the University's full strength should be given its chance to develop and work. The kind of men that Kansas makes is already known in the ranks of the army. Others must follow in their steps. They must get ready. The freshmen ought to be in with the rest.
The Senate was a little inconsistent, just a little, to affirm the one war measure and throw out the other. This is only natural, however, and the only prayer is that hereafter the Senate will keep warm and alert to the end of every deliberation.
NO DRESS-SUITS THIS YEAR
NO DRESS-SUITS THIS YEAR
Newspapers are circulating over the state a story that the business manager of the State Board of Administration has held up a voucher in from the University for expenses of $16, for the rental of eight full-dress suits for use at the last All-University Hallowe'en party.
James A. Kimball, the business manager of the board, according to one story, "intends to sift the matter down to the bottom and ascertain, if possible, why a bill for the rental of eight full-dress suits for a society function for students should be passed along for the state to pay."
Evidently there has been a complete misunderstanding of both the acts of the incident and the spirit if the students.
Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women at the University, is given a small yearly budget by the state annually for the few all-University entertainments given. Out of this fund comes the voucher in question. Mrs. Brown supervised the fallowe'en party. The rental of the dress suits came out of the effort to cut expenses for the party to the minimum. The suits were worn by students for a minstrel act, which was a part of the program for the entertainment. As no formal parties have been given at the University this year, men guests at the party were not in full-dress attire. Decorations were of autumn branches and leaves and students furnished the music and entertainment. Many women wore gingham dresses. Cider was served as refreshments.
Social affairs at the University this winter have been reduced to a minimum of expense and simplicity. No formal affairs have been given, because students consider them inappropriate during war times. If students owned dress suits or had occasion to wear them, the rental would have been unnecessary.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT With the wind coming from the south, the University incinerator was in excellent working order yesterday much to the discomfort of the students. The burning of such refuse might have been done after 6 o'clock when the students would not have been on the campus in such numbers to appreciate its fumes.
Women at the University of Oreon are learning how to make war toughnuts.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the republic they died to save. I pray that Our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Dear Madam.
To Mrs. BIXBY, Boston, Mass.
LINCOLN'S LETTER TO MRS: BIXBY
Yours very sincerely and respectfully.
Griffith (Squirt) Dr. Owen has just submitted to Dr. Stewart his resignation as captain of the 1918 Cornhusker track team. Squirt was elected captain following Missouri Valley meet at Ames last May. He is now in the aviation camp at San Antonio and there is no doubt in the minds of those who knew him that he will bring honor to his alma mater through success in this branch of the service.-Daily Nebraskan.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
The physical preparedness classes will drill in Sage and Risley at 7:15 o'clock this evening.-Cornell Sun.
In spite of crippled transportation war times and the shortage of help it their offices, 119 newspapermen attended the sixth annual newspaper institute of the University of Washington last week-end. Seventy-six of these men were real newspaper owners. The nearest these figures have been approaches was at the session last year, which was attended by 111 newspapermen, of whom eighty-two were owners. People on the campus interested in newspaper work brought the total attendance for this year up to 175.
Eastern News
While in the University Mr. Dyment was one of the strongest supporters of athletics on the faculty, and represented that body on the athletic committee. It was through his efforts that soccer was introduced here, and because of the time he gave to the sport as coach that the game remained on the Varsity calendar. It was while Mr. Dyment was on the campus that the Pacific coast conference was organized and he was elected as its first president—Oregon Emerald.
At the University of Virginia midwinter germans are predominant at the present. $5 will admit to all three of the dances, the first two germans costing $2 and the final hop $1.50. An orchestra from Washington furnished the music. Dress suits and uniforms were to be worn to the first two affairs although the final dance was informal. (This from the war-like east.)
Editor's Note: This is an interesting item of eastern news for the wild westerner who does not know Sage from Risley and who has not become acquainted with "evening."
Colin V. Dyment, formerly professor of journalism in the University, was yesterday appointed chairman of the faculty athletic committee of the University of Washington, where he is now head of the journalism department.
Washington, Nov. 21, 186
"Heed Captain Patten's advice and do not enlist now if you can possibly stay for further training. You may have a chance to become an officer," is the advice of Harold Priest, lieutenant with the Sixtieth infantry, Camp Greene, N. C., now visiting his parents in anticipation of being sent overseas. "Many of us cannot thank Captain Patten enough for his advice and counsel."—University of Washington Daily.
The boot and shoe manufacturers of Lynn employ thirteen and a half times as many persons and pay nine times as much in waeps, but use only one-third as much fuel as do the manufacturers of malt liquors in Boston.
The breweries of the United States use three and a half times as much coal as the bakers, nearly six times as much as the printers and publishers, nine times as much as the manufacturers of boots and shoes and twenty times as much as the manufacturers of men's clothing.
These are vitally interesting statistics which have been collected by a Boston theology student.
In Massachusetts the manufacturers of boots and shoes employ forty-three times as many person as and do one-fourth times as much coal.

Rock Chalk'll Scare Socks Off Kultur
The National Tribute, Washington,
D. C. printed the following article
and sent it to Prof. E. F. Stimpson,
by Miss Cora Parker who was former
ly at the head of the Art Department
of the University of Kansas.
make a strcmpywhrdumfwuy "Kansas somehow always manages to make a stir, and when the boys from the Prairie State get over in the front ranks and start to doing things the Kaiser will sure think that some sort of an imported cyclone has been let loose. The boys are taking with them the Kansas yell, says a Kansas newspaper.
"If you've ever heard the Kansas boygilled forth from the throat Kansas boys and girls, you'll no wonder that the Kansas soldier boy at the mobilization camps have taken up "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk," at their official battle cry. It's classed as a college yell, but Rock Chalk is really more than that. It's the Kansas language set in a 420-point black face type, slugged, and leadened with two-by-fours, and it's been the official battle cry of Kansas soldier boys in every war since its invention. Funston and his men used it as a part of their ammunition against the little brown brothers of the Philippines. The Kansas boys yelled it to terrify the natives and send the revolting Mexes scurrying to the tall grass all the way from Eagle Pass to Columbus last summer. It is said that the 20th Kansas were yelling it in the Philippines when General McArthur made the famous remark, "There goes Kansas, and all hell can't stop her," and in all the wars Kansas men have fought of recent years "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk," has led the men to battle. Count Boris Some-thing-or-other, a one-time K. U. student, took the yell when he returned home to fight in one of the Baltic wars a few years ago and his man just naturally scared the enemy to death with the old Rock Chalk. So the battle cry will not be new in the army, nor will it be new in Europe. And if they'll only let ex-chaperone Lieutenant Joe Gaitskalt take off his O. D's some day, put on a suit of red and blue, stand up on the first line trenches over there in France and lead the Kansas boys in Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, the Huns won't stop running until the Baltic sea opens up to receive them. It'll scare the socks off of Kultur."

The Navy's reliance upon the Naval Academy for educated and capable officers in peace times is well placed. Since the war began this fine institution, unsurpassed in the world, has been doubled, but today its facilities are inadequate to graduate officers as rapidly as they are needed.
Navy Needs College Men
It's vital to a powerful navy to have powerful guns and powerful ships, but they are only so much well-fashioned steel unless they are manned by officers and men with trained minds and hands, with steady nerves and heads. We have 'today in the Navy all the men we need until ships under construction and repair are furnished and put in commission. The greatest need, therefore, is for officers who know how to sail a ship, how to man its guns, how to organize it to fight.
By Hon. Josephus Daniel, Secretary of the Navy.
(From the Patriotic News Service of the
Northwest District of Patriotic Societies,
Washington, D.C.) CYRIL S.
But all the normal sources of officers combined did not serve to give as many as the expanding Navy needed, and we turned with confidence to the civilians with love of the sea and some knowledge of seamanship to qualify themselves for command. Before war was declared there were some reserve officers who had shown talent and are giving evidence of ability, but many of the men initiated into the glorious company of naval officers came direct from civil life, and upon their willingness to learn, their swiftness and their aptitude we must depend for a large increase in the number of those who are to be given command of our ships.
The Navy has given warm welcome to college students and college graduates. I wish I could personally shake hands with each college man who has entered or will enter the service. I would like to say to each:

Kansas Easily Beats Pikers In First Game By Score of 51 to 22
Jayhawkers Take Lead In Firs Minute of Play And Holds It
Uhrlaub Scores 15 Points
Marquard Makes Over Half Of Washington's Points—Dribbling a Feature
The Jayhawkers came back strong last night after the two defeats at the hands of Missouri and played rings around the Washington University quintet, winning by a 51-22 score. Kansas took the lead at the beginning of the game and had no trouble in holding it throughout. Washington's basket shooting was woefully weak, especially in the second half when the St. Louis team missed a number of easy shots.
Captain Uhrlaub started the game by caging a field goal in the first minute of play. Duncker evened the count with a short goal but a pretty shot by Miller sent the Jayhawkers into the lead. Marquard tossed a free throw and this was followed by an avalanche of goals by the Crimson and Blue quintet. Uhrlaub counted twice in quick succession and Scrubby Laslett brought the spectators to their feet by dribbling through the whole Piker team and dropping the ball through the iron hoop.
After Marquard, the tall Washington center, had tossed a pair of free throws, Matthews and Bunn found the basket for Kansas, followed by a long goal by Benway, the second field goal of the game for Washington. Miller, Laslett and Uhrlau added counters for Kansas just before the end of the half and the Jayhawkers lead. 30-12 as the period closed.
Marquard's free throwing continued to be the main source of Washington's scoring in the second half. After the tall center had registered with two free throws, Miller and Uhrlub hit the basket and the Kansas captain added a free throw. Matthews brought cheers from the crowd with a long shot from mid-court and Benway followed with a beautiful goal from the center of the floor.
At this period of the game, Coach Hamilton sent in an almost entirely new team of Jayhawkers and Coach Rutherford took the opportunity to insert three fresh Pilkers into the lineup. The game was slowed up considerably from this point and was marked by ragged work on the part of the pitchers. Ulrich, Miller and Matthews tossed the final Kansas goals and baskets at Benway and Russell finished the scoring for Washington.
Every regular played good basketball for the Jayhawkers and Dutch Uhrlau, playing guard, was the high score man with fifteen points to his credit. Miller bagged six field goals and tied for second place in individual scoring with Marquard of Washington, who tossed twelve free throws. Close guarding by Laslett and Ulrich made a big factor in keeping the Piker score down. Benway starred on the floor for Washington and was responsible for three of the five goal goals made by the St. Louis quintet.

Referee—E. C. Quigley, St. Mary's
SPORT BEAMS
The jerseys of the Jayhawkers and Pilkers were so nearly alike that Referee Quigley called time after a few minutes of play and the K. U. five changed from the Crimson and Blue uniforms to pants for the Kansan to help the Kansan't too, for the team immediately secured a big lead.
Marquard of Washington had thrown twenty-three free throws in the last two games. He leads the Valley basketeers in this respect.
The game last night contained several exhibitions of remarkable dribbling. Laslett and Uhlraub starred in this respect for Kansas and Benway's floor work was the feature of the Washington offensive.
The Oklahoma University quintet established a near record for scoring when they awamped the Southeastern Normal School five Friday night, 116-13. On the following night, the fast Oklahomaans again smothered the Normal team, this time by a 96-19 count.
Helen Barnett, who has been playing forward in the women's freshman basketball team, is doing some excellent work this season. She received her training on the Rosedale high school team which won first place in the High School Tournament held at Lawrence in 1916 and second place in 1917.
The most popular form of exercise among the men students who are taking gymnasium is military drill in which 279 are enrolled. Regular gymnasium exercise comes next with an enrollment of 200 men. The class in wireless has a very large number enrolled although the exact report has not as yet been included in the program and about forty are taking wrestling and boxing. Fourteen want spring foot-pall.
Military Drill Popular
All members of the junior class are urged to get their glosses in to the Jayhawker office immediately. Also we ask for contributions, humorous or otherwise, to the Junior section as we wish to make this section one of the most complete of the Jayhawker.

Women Planning To Play Intramural Basketball
This New Phase In Women's Sports Will Be Given a Trial This Spring
A new and interesting phase in women's sports will be given a trial this spring. After the interclass basketball series is finished, which will probably be Saturday, Febrary the regular series of games will be played.
Prof. Stevens Will Do War Research Work
Prof.W. C. Stevens of the department of botany has been given a year's leave of absence beginning January 1, 1918. He had previously been granted a leave of absence for the first semester to study in New York City. How will he answer the research question in an compilation data, describing twenty-five thousand species of economic plants which may be useful in war activity.
teams composed of women from any organized or unorganized group in the University may be entered for these games; or two or more groups may unite to form a team. These games will be played in an elimination contest, the team which wins in the finals being the champion.
A representative chosen from each group wishing to compete should confer with Coach Pratt as soon as possible. The women have shown a great deal of enthusiasm in competing for the title and is hoped that an unusually large number will come out for the next series.
An interclass base ball series will follow the swimming meet, which takes place the later part of March and if the intermural basketball series are successful the same program will be carried out for baseball.
In the work for the remainder of his leave, Professor Stevens will have an office in New York City and will obtain data from the Columbia University Library. He will work with Dr. E. M. east, Chairman of the Raw Products Committee of the National Research Council.
Members of the department of botany will take Professors Steven's elementary classes and several ad-hoc classes, but will not be offered this semester.

Spies of German accent and descent move among the characters of the play; they sometimes are detected and the entire cast becomes excited when someone says, "You're a German." The spies use wireless apparatus and submarines to accomplish their purposes; the buzz of the wireless can be heard somewhere behind the stage.
All these items, small but necessary are being worked out in detail by the stage manager, Lewis Hull, and the director, Prof. Arthur MacMurray and use will be made of them on the night of the play.
Make-up finals in Medieval and Greek History under Prof. D. L. Patterson will be given Saturday morning from 10 to 12 o'clock, in Room 203 Administration building.

This Year You Will Want A "JAYHAWKER"
WELL, THIS is the TIME.
You've said to yourself—to your friends—"Some time I will get an Annual." WELL THIS is the TIME.
It's a beautiful book—this Liberty Bell annual of 1918. It's patriotic from cover to cover, full of the spirit of the times, and a wonderful memento of the University of Kansas during this first War Year.
It is more than a mere annual; it is a complete record of the year's events, viewed in the light of the extraordinary times in which we are living.
Four hundred pages, every one chock full of interesting material concerning the University, the classes, the athletic contests, our campus activities, and the organizations—such a description only begins to tell of the wonders of the book.
An extensive military section, with records of K. U. men in the service. . . a humor section that surpasses any in past annuals. . . art work that is positively magnificent. . . a sixteen page view section, printed in colors, of new views of the University, never before used in a "Jayhawk", an eight page "Kansas Girl" section, with photographs of the fairest, most popular girls on the Hill. . . hundreds of
snapshots and cartoons of student life. These are only a few of the "Jayhawker's" many features.
The whole is bound in heavy beveled boards, covered with maroon Moorish Leather, stamped in gold leaf, with blind embossing on the vides and backbone. The binding is securely taped to the book, insuring that the volume will hold together perfectly, even under the strain of constant use.
The Junior Section
The Junior Section will be held open until February 28. Third year students who want their photographs in this section should have the pictures taken before February 23. Men who will shortly become of draftage, or who do not expect to be back next year, should take advantage of this opportunity to have their picture in a "Jayhawk."
The Sophomore Section will also be held open until February 28. This section will be much larger than any sophomore section previously carried in a "Jayhawker." Second year students will want their photographs in it.
Watch for the Jayhawker "Kansas Girl Contest" next month.

Surgical Dressings To Be Made By Women As Red Cross Service
Many Enroll for Voluntary Task, Substituted For Knitting Work
Plan Explained At Meeting
Quarters In Fraser Hall To Be Used Four Days Each Week
The work in making surgical dressings will begin tomorrow at 3 o'clock in Room 205 Fraser. The room will be open daily for the present from 3 to 6 o'clock except on Wednesday and Saturday. If there is need for it the hours will be extended. The call for this work is urgent and all women who can give time to it are earnestly asked to undertake it.
A schedule of hours has been placed beside the door of Room 205 Fraser Hall and women are asked to register their names for the hours they prefer. It
It will be better to work two consecutive hours when that is possible than at two different periods. Those who sign up should come provided with an apron, a large handkerchief or square of lawn to cover the hair, (unless the apron has long sleeves) cuffs, a six inch ruler and a pair of scissors.
Margaret Lynn.
Making of surgical dressings for the Red Cross is a war work to be undertaken by women of the University of Kansas beginning tomorrow afternoon. Plans for the war activity were explained at a convocation of women yesterday afternoon, addressed by Miss Margaret Lynn, head of woman's war work in the University, and by student speakers. Following the convocation many of the women signed the roll, agreeing to spend specified hours doing war service.
"The call for material of this sort is urgent," said Miss Lynn in discussing the work this morning, "and all University women who can spare the time are earnestly asked to undertake it. Those especially who have been doing knitting are urged to take this new service.
Miss Lynn at the convolution held yesterday urged University women to set up a new scale of values, "nutting first things first."
"Room 205, Fraser Hall, has been fitted up for the purpose, and the rooms will be open from 3 o'clock until 6 each day in the week except Wednesday and Saturday. A schedule of hours has been published to the door, and women students are not permitted for the hours at which they will come."
Katherine Reding, president of the Women's Student Council; Mary Brownlee, representing the Y. M. C. A.; and Lucile Nowlin of the Women's Forum, gave short talks, favoring the plan.
Following the meeting, a number of women registered, some enrolling for as many as four hours of voluntary work.
Some women have substituted, the making of layettes for the French war babies, for the work in surgical dressing, and this is believed practically to account for the smaller number registered so far for the surgical dressing making.
Dean to Speak in Atlantic City
Dean F. J. Kelly, of the School of Education, will discuss industrial education at the meeting of the National Association for College Teachers of Education, Tuesday, February 26 at Atlantic City, New Jersey.

To Have One Knitting Class
W. S. G. A. Ruled to Maintain Period From 4 to 5 on Wednesday
"The change in the Senate ruling regarding physical education reducing it five to four hours a week makes it necessary to rearrange the knitting classes. As was said in last night's Kansan, credit in Red Cross will be given only to those women who have yarn checked out from the department of physical education. There is no point in maintaining voluntary knitting classes every day since people will knit elsewhere.
"The women's student council ruled last night to maintain only one knitting class—that to be held on Wednesday from 4 to 5 o'clock. Those who have checked out yarn should come to this class. Those who were to learn to knit can find instruction here. It is strongly supported by the women who withdraw from the knitting classes will enroll in the surgical dressing class. That work is necessary and can be done only in organized groups."

K.U. Alumnus Promotes Plan For Exemption Of Engineering Students
Present Rulings of War Department Do Not Fully Meet Situation
A campaign among the engineering schools for the purpose of forming congressional opinion to exempt all engineering students that are in good standing, from the draft, Bigger is promoted by Harry E. Bigger K. U. alumnus and professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Michigan.
"The rulers of the War department, permitting the enlistment of students in the engineer's reserve, do not fully meet the situation," wrote Prof Riggs to C. C. Williams, professor of Civil Engineering at K. U., "and all engineers who are in good standing should be encouraged to continue their work until graduation."
Prof. Riggs is of the opinion that the appreciation of the wide range of usefulness of trained engineers can best be developed through congressional influence, and that indirect pressure must be brought to bear on Congress to prove the importance of engineers in this war.
The plan suggested by the former K. U. man, and which he has been experimenting with at Ann Arbor, was commenced last December. The mater was first discussed among the students. The students are now using their influence to convince influential men and Congressmen from their district, that engineering schools must be supported at this time if the supply of engineers is to be maintained.
The K. U. Engineering School has not taken any definite action or expressed their attitude on the plan of Mr. Riggs, but Professor Williams has received very favorable replies from the engineering schools of Missouri, Texas and California.
In referencing to this problem which England and France had to face, Professor Riggs wrote that these countries made the grave mistake at the outbreak of the war of assigning engineers to duties foreign to their training, and later found themselves short of the technique they needed.
Special Courses Open To University Students
Shorthand and Typewriting Will Be Given Every Day In
About twenty-five students enrolled in the courses. One may enroll in typewriting or shorthand or in both classes. No credit is given. Instruction in shorthand will be given every afternoon at 3 o'clock in Room 313, Fraser, and typewriting classes last from 4 until 6 o'clock. These hours make the work equivalent to a five-hour course, and students already taking an average amount of college work, are not advised to enroll.
Classes in typewriting and stenography were organized yesterday for students who wish to be prepared for government clerical positions or other lines of war work by next summer. Miss Margaret Lynn, of the department of English, who has charge of women's war work in the University, supervised the organization of the classes, which will be conducted by Prof. E. B. Stouffer. Professor Stouffer is an assistant professor in the department of mathematics.
Students who received incomplete in my sections of Economics I last semester may take a make-up final examination in the subject in Room 203 Administration Building on Saturday morning, Toburnry. This will be the last opportunity to make up these incompletes.
Women in Applied Sociology class who intend to go into Child Welfare work in connection with the State Health department should report to Mrs. J. R. Bechtel, at the Red Cross headquarters down town at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Manuel C. Elmer
Attendance at typewriting and shorthand does not permit exemption from regular physical exercise periods.

Notice
Annual Colonial Party To Feature the Spirit Of '76 Down to 1918
Chorus of Co-eds Showing Effect of Hooverizing Is One Feature
The custom regarding the annual Colonial Party heretofore has been to give a more or less elaborate environment based upon the colonial idea. This year the party will be given very economically, and will combine the colonial idea with the idea of patriotism.
The annual All-University Colonial Party which will be given in the gymnasium February 23 will have patriotism as the general feature of the program from the Revolutionary spirit of '76 down to the present time. The program has already been formulated by Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women under whose direction the party is given, and Herman Hangen, chairman of the committee on general arrangement.
"The first number on the program," said Mrs. Brown toying, "probably will be a colonial dance by Dorothea Engle. The modern spirit of patriotism and conservation will be portrayed by a pageant of University girls showing the effect of Hoovering upon the University students. The play 'Efficiency' which was recently given in the Green Hall Theatre will be given again at the Colonial Party. The Glee Club will be asked to sing modern war songs that are being sung by our boys over there. The later part of the evening will be devoted to dancing.
Herman Hangen, chairman of the committee on general arrangement announced the committees today. They are as follows: Publicity, Floyd Hockendall, chairman, Howard Morgan, Alice Bowley. Decorations: Leland Benson, chairman, Frances Hitchcock, Louis Potueck, Frances Allen, Karl Brown, Ruth Ellis, and Helen Pearis. Program, Paul Schmidt, chairman.
The first Colonial party at the University was given by Mrs. Brown four years ago and has been given as one of the All-University parties since then. This year it is the second party to be given under the direction of Mrs. Brown. The presidents of the respective classes, Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong, and Mrs. Brown will be in the receiving line.
Checkmate Is Premier Play
Scenes of "The Checkmate" Are Set In War-Time England
"The annual K. U. Dramatic Club play, "The Checkmate" to be given at the Bowersock Theater February 20, has the best balanced cast of any play given by the club," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, who is coaching the production. The cast has been practicing for the play the last two months.
It is one of the best war plays appearing on the stage, Professor MacMurray believes. While not a military production, spies and their workings have much to do with the plot, the setting of which is in England. The club has gone to extra expense to get special lighting effects and scenery. As a dramatic production it is superior to anything ever attempted by the K. U Dramatic Club. Coach MacMurray said.
In keeping with the recently adopted policy of the Dramatic Club to give the net proceeds from their plays to war work all money above actual expenses from this production will be given to Red Cross, Coach Mac Murray said.
Complete figures on the enrollment for the second semester have not yet been made out but indications are that the figure will be about 1300 in the College. Late enrollments are still being received in instances where students were ill from vaccinator.
Late Enrollments Cut Down Feared Decrease
Saturday was the latest date for regular enrollment. Students enrolling this week are required to pay $1, the regular fee for late enrollment. Students who were enrolled Saturday and two Monday. It is known that the final result will show a decrease although not as large as was believed earlier.
Phi Alpha Tau To Give Sketch At K. U. Follies
The cast of the K. U, Follies, 1918 series, will practice in Robinson Gymnasium at 5 o'clock Wednesday and Friday afternoons, Blanche Simons, director of the production announced today. Approximately thirty University students are trying out for parts in a film set. The selected there probably will be more than fifty. The Follies will be given March 14.
The latest addition to the program is a skit to be given by the dramatic fraternity Phi Alpha Tau. Lit and airy musical numbers as well as witty lines will form the basis of the production.
Plain Tales From The Hill
IF OVER-TIME COUNTS
As military drill companies at four o'clock have never been dismissed on schedule this semester but have always been held at least ten minutes over time, a buck private in the rear rank marks that the, the companies will make up enough time for a week's holiday.
He was drilling his squad of K. U. rookies and the class in surveying across the street was squinting at the Museum tower. Two very small boys came up behind the would be surveyors.
Urachn No. 1: "Look at them fellers over there. They got guns." Same No. 2: "Naw, they ain't gung; only wood and a piece of gas pipe. But say, look at the boy scout with his knife." Hesold Lilly was drilled 'em!
Harold Lytle was drillin' 'em.
A printing firm over Boston way has asked for a contract to print this year's edition of the "Kansas Cycle," the well known University of Kansas annual. The general opinion seems to be that though it has been the "Jayhawker" for only twenty years, in these days of wireless and other means of swift communication even such foreign ports as Boston ought to know better than to call it the "Kansas Cycle."
ERSATZ FOR ROLL CALL
Methods of taking the roll in different classes vary from spending ten to fifteen minutes calling the names to guessing at the members of the class who are present, but here is a suggestion that might be borrowed from one of the fraternities. During mock initiation this frat made each pledge carry a six pound rock with him when he was absent from the house and to leave the rock at the front portal when he was at home. In this way the number of freshmen in the house at any given time could be known by looking at the rockpile in the front yard.
A Chicago newspaper has expressed itself that it is the duty of all patriotic men to grow several crops of whiskers a year to be used as ersatz, to help meet the wool shortage. Isn't it possible, then, that the mustache epidemic which is seriously threatening so many K. U. students at the present time is merely a patriotic measure?
How sad the western Kansas jack-rabbits must be when they think of the number of their departed relatives who have been made into chicken croquettes and served at so many of the local cafes.
German Professor Asks
Appreciation Of Values
Admitting that the outcry against the teaching of German in the schools and collages of the United States is natural and inevitable, but appealing to sober sense, tolerance, and appreciation of real values, Prof. E. F. Engel in an address before the German Verein yesterday afternoon discussed "Why and how German should be continued as a subject in our high schools and colleges."
The disciplinary value of the study of German, its literary excellence, its political and commercial usefulness were brought out by Professor Engel. Suggestions for the improvement of teaching methods in the direction of standardization of work and the adoption of scientific methods were made.
Professor Engel will read the same paper before the Central Kansas Teachers' Association at Hutchinson, Friday.

Contest For Snapshots For Annual Announced With Books As Prizes
Feb. 25 to March 2 Will Be Snapshot Week On Mount Oread
To Give Three Jayhawkers
Brick Chandler, Editor of Section Asks For Spicy Collections
A snapshot campaign for the 1918 Jayhawk was the unusual announcement to be made this morning by Brick Chandler, snapshot editor of the annual this year, when he became liberal and offered three copies of the Jayhawk to the three persons—faculty, graduates, seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen or specials—who turn in the snapped snapshot or collection of snapshots for the annual campaign 25 to March 2. It will be snapshot week on Mount Oread, accoring to Chandler and a box will be placed on the campus to receive all snapshots that are submitted in the contest.
"Spice is what we need in our section," said Brick. "It is what fills the book with humor an dhuman interest. The material we have collected already is not poor by any means and we have ideas for lots better ones but if anyone in the University has any good pictures of interesting scenes, interesting people or interesting situations, they are wanted for the 1918 Jayhawker and this contest scheme was hit upon, in order to make it worth while for persons to submit pictures.
"Snapshot week will start a week from Monday allowing plenty of time for everyone to hunt up pictures or sit on Saturday or Sunday and take some.
"No one should hesitate to turn in only one picture because if it is good enough, a prize of a Jayhawker will be given for it, but collections of snapshots are wanted too, and will be given equal consideration by the judges when the prizes are awarded." Names and addresses must be placed in the envelope with the picture or pictures submitted in the contest but nothing should be written on the back of the snapshot, according to Chandler. At the end of the week the pictures will be judged.
Germany's Nail Driving Plan May Be Used Here
Students May Drive Nails In Wooden Jayhawker and Help Win War
A large wooden Jayhawker in which students could drive nails at a cost of ten cents each is the suggestion of Prof. L. N. Flint of the department of journalism as a method of raising money for various war purposes. This idea is based on the Hindenburg statue in Germany in which nails were driven at a high price per nail. So many campaigns in the University have been carried out on the tag and subscription plan, that, it is believed this new scheme would attract much attention.
Chancellor Frank Strong has referred Professor Flint's suggestion to Prof. G. C. Shaad, chairman of the Finance Committee of the University of New Orleans. He probably will be launched soon for government thrift stamps and the wooden Jayhawker scheme may be used.
Student Council Will Choose Five Members
Election of five members to the Men's Student Council will be held February 20 at its regular meeting. Two vacancies are open in the College and one from the School of Law, one from the School of Engineering, one from the School of Engineering.
Candidates for these places are chosen by the students of their respective schools and must meet the requirements of the University Athletic Board. They must file petitions with the signatures of at least twenty five persons with Dutch Uhrlaub or Arthur Hershberger by 6 o'clock Monday, February 18. The council requires a fee of 75 cents to accompany each petition.

FACULTY ATTENTION!
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 13, 1918.
The faculty drill company apparently has been a success, for those who have come out for it. Actually it is a failure, for too few have come forward and joined. The unfalling efforts of the few have made the unit a permanent fixture at the University.
But if the faculty company is to perform its function as a training unit for staff and higher officers of the University regiment twice the number of men will have to come to its support. If exercise is beneficial to students, surely the faculty can stand a little. The time is small compared to the amount of good will do for military training at the University.
MAKING GOOD OUR BOASTS
The unit should be full to capacity and not sieve-like in appearance. University students often follow the example set by their superiors. Is the faculty setting a good example?
We have said of ourselves that we are the greatest and most modern of nations—and new the war has come to let us make good our boasts. War, of all things, will reveal the American people as they really are and it is revealing them.
The case in point is the thrift stamp campaign. Here is a war finance scheme that calls for the best that is in us. It can only succeed in a great nation; a nation with a social consciousness, and with the fullest knowledge of the value of co-operation; a nation which is at last great enough to throw aside the last vestige of its one time crass individualism.
It is not alone the performance of the biggest tasks that will prove our greatness. The test comes as well in the performance of the seemingly insignificant duties.
Only by co-operation can the thrift stamp campaign be made successful. Its success is based on the response of millions, not thousands.
An unqualified success of the campaign would justify modern America in all her boasts of greatness, but a failure would rob her even of her claim of modernism.
WHICH ARE YOU?
There are two kinds of men in this life. There is the one who goes out and gets things done despite obstacles; and the one who comes back with a fine, perfectly logical reason for not getting the thing done.
THAT EXTRA TWO HOURS
If you talk to the student across the hall until ten o'clock before you begin to study and then have to burn your light until past twelve, of course, it is your own affair.
But is it, after all? You have burned a light perhaps two hours more than was necessary, and used
up some coal that is badly needed to help win the war. You cannot do that and stay in line with Hoover and Garfield.
But what did burning that electric light or lights for two hours, and the infinitesimal amount of coal concerned, matter?
Perhaps not very much, in itself,
but when two thousand students
waste two hours a night for five
nights a week, multiplied by four
weeks in a month and —.

CAMPUS OPINION
At a time when the University should be doing all it can to promote interest in war courses of all sorts, we find a lamentable lack of provision made for credit in courses that require many hours of tirework. K. U. students have taken up the burden willingly, however, and have enrolled in many courses that give no credit or little if any at all.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Why should such conditions exist? They do not exist with such frequency in other universities and colleges of this nation which is at war.
For instance, there is a course in wireless, for which two hours of credit it given. Two hours of class work on Tuesdays and Thursdays are required, this class work taking up two hours of intensive home study daily. Then added on top of this each student to get his two hours of credit must do code work for two hours continuously five days a week. For this he is given credit for compulsory exercise work.
Surely the Senate should devote some of its precious time to consider this condition. The same is virtually the case of many other courses in war work.
Then added to this long period of laboratory work, the student to progress, must study his code and new phases of laboratory work from two to three hours outside of class. The result is that three and five-hour courses suffer if full attention is given to this work. Is this fair to the student who is trying to prepare to serve his country? Is it a reasonable plan of giving credit to require a student twelve hours of class work weekly, besides at least nine hours of outside work?
ON OTHER "HILLS"

Six unfilled calls have come into the department of journalism from dailies and weeklies of the state for students to fill vacant positions.
Four of the six stated that women were preferred, which preference would not have existed a few years ago. There is now a considerable demand for young women in country weekdays to get out the paper, with the exception perhaps of the editorials and the ads, and so free the editor for outside work in his community.

was from $15 to $30 a week.—University

The lectures are given, it is said, because many soldiers do not know the true reason for the war or understand why America entered the conflict.
Hodder Will Lecture
At Camp Funston Y. M.
A photograph of Prof. Arthur Nevin appeared recently in Leslie's weekly, along with those of many of the foremost musicians, singers, and actors in the country who are doing beneficial war work in various lines. Professor Nevin, of the School of Fine Arts, who is on a leave of absence from the Army, played the chorus and music at Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. Every member of Professor Nevin's family is serving Uncle Sam in some capacity.

Public Improvements To Come In American When War Is Ended
Prof. Williams, Says Railroads Highways and Land To Be Bettered
Work One Of Trained Men
Conditions Will Be Different Than They Were After Civil War
"The most desirable preparation, fortunately for war service now is essentially the same as will be required for effective service during the reconstruction following the war," said Prof. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering today. Professor Williams reported the special courses given for war preparation work are crowded.
"This war," he continued, "is largely one of engineers, chemists and physicians. Men pursuing these subjects are fitting themselves for war service and, at the same time, for the reconstruction work. These are staple lines of education and, while they are especially adapted to the ways of war, they will apply without misdirected effort to the reconstruction period.
" conditions that will confront this country after the conflict will be different from those succeeding the Civil war. At that time, a million men were readily absorbed into the various organizations. The population was scattered and the civil life was noticeably changed because the soldiers left, and the places remained open to these men when they returned, together with positions made by the death of soldiers.
"After this war, vacant places will be filled. The army to be absorbed will number two or three times that of '65. The one way left open to the government is the undertaking of public improvements. This work will be done on an enormous scale. Our experience in the war will have taught us how to spend money in an unprecedented magnitude, hence things may be done and less objection met than ever before.
"It is probably true that the highways of the United States are in a poor conditions. The railroads will never again be operated on the same old wasteful competitive basis.
Shortage of food supplies suggests the necessity of increasing the area tillable land. Irrigation will enter in this. The growing scarcity of fuel will give an impetus to seeking power from streams. Enough power is available in the American streams to run the industries, increased 100 per cent, and late inventions in electric transmission make it possible to spread this over areas."

Washington Again Easy Before Kansas Attack In Closing Home Game
Starting With a See-saw Score Jayhawkers Opened Offensive In Last Period
Poor Playing In First Half
Hamilton's Men Satisfied With 15-Point Lead—Benway Out On Personal Fouls
Kansas had an easy time last night in winning the final home game from the Washington University basketball five, 40 to 25, in Robinson Gymnasium. Only for about five minutes in the latter part of the first half did Washington lead in the scoring and then only by one point.
At the start of the game, it was close with the edge slightly in favor of the K. U. players. The passing game of the Kansans showed tendencies of becoming wild and the Jayhawker players were not hitting the basket regularly. With a slight lead, by virtue of a long field goal nearly from the center of the court by Ulrlaub, the Kansas athletes seemed to let up a bit in their playing.
The result was that the St. Louis five jumped into the lead by a point. The score stood to 13 to 12, against the Jayhawkers. This seemed to wake up the playing abilities of the Crimson and Blue five. A goal from field by Laslett regained the lead by a point. The score then wavered from a one point lead on one side to the other and often a tie score. Loose guarding let the Piker five take some easy goals.
But the Kansas quintet rallied. Captain Uhrlau, playing at left forward, dribbed nearly the entire length of the court and placed the Jayhawkers nicely in the lead. Miller came through with a long shot. Uhrlau closed the half by tossing a free throw. Another field goal did not count, for the half ended before the goal was tossed.
It was the great attack which the Jayhawkers started the final half with that had much to do with the result of the game. Four field goals in rapid succession by Uhrlaub, Miller, Laslett. The big offensive did the work and the team was able to hold off washing up slowly creeping up, the Jayhawkers got their scoring machine to working again and the score was increased to 36 to 22.
Benway was removed on account of four persons, Duncker taking his place. The Washington coach sent in Kamp, at left guard, and shifted Staplester to center in an effort to stop the scoring. It was useless. The Jayhawkers seemed to be missing early fifteen points. Many easy chances to count field goals were lost by the K. U. players near the close of the battle.
For Washington, Marquard stood out as the individual star although Benny played a hard game and had his eye on the basket. Marquard scored three field goals, and counted eleven free throws out of twenty chances. Technical foules were the big obstacles in the way of K. U. players on many plays. It was the close guarding of Laslett and Bunn that had much to do with holding down the St Louis players.
Uhrlub led the Jayhawker attack with six field goals and six free throws. Miller, at right forward, showed well with six field goals and played a better floor game than usual. Laslett did some remarkable guarding at several stages of the game besides counting three field baskets. The greatest improvement was in piling up the large K. U. score. Fearing took Miller's place in the last five minutes of the game and scored one field goal.
The entire Kansas five played probably the best games they have shown this season in the two-game series with Washington. Continued improvement in their playing make the Jayhawkers appear as possible contenders for the Missouri Valley basketball team in the Missouri in their way to a tie for first place. They are now in third place.

A Message To JUNIORS

HOLIDAYS
WEEKEND
There Are Five Reasons
Why you should have your picture in the "1918 Jayhawker."
1—Because, ten years from now, when you sit back in your easy chair and recall your college days, you'll get an amount of pleasure and satisfaction out of seeing your photograph in the "Jayhawkner" that is worth dollars more than the small junior fee.
2—Because, due to the uncertainties of war, you may not be back on the Hill again next week, you should put your picture in at least one blackhawk. This year you may be your last.
3—Because it is highly probable that there may be no "jayhawker" next year.
Better titer, safe, and put your picture in this year's book.
4—Because the cost is small, “Jayhawkwaker” dues for juniors are one dollar, this amount including your space and your "cut." A photographer will be asked to take the photo.
5. Because the "1918 Jayhawkner" is K. U.'s first and greatest "war annual," you will probably want to watch it on television at Kansas. You'll be proud of the annual, and that proof your picture is worth it.
Prompt action on this matter is imperative. The final date for junior pictures is February 28; and this means that you must have a sitting with a photographer not later than February 23. Call a photographer today!—

Kulp's Speech Begins Bible Story Campaign To Enroll Students
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 14, 1918.
Convocation Tomorrow at o'Clock Marks Preliminary of Mobilization
Discussion By Round Tables
Chancellor and Professors Ap prove Plan—"Can Win War Yet Lose"
Dr. J. E. Kulp of Topeka will speak at a convocation in the gymnasium at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon on the subject of "Christian World Democracy," or what kind of a world will we live in after the war. This meeting is preliminary to the campaign to enroll students and professors in Bible study classes.
Round table discussions instead of lectures probably will characterize the mobilizing of University students into the national movement of students for Christian world democracy. Members of the faculty who are leading in the work believe discussions will bring out the ideas of both students and professors, better than lectures.
The nation-wide movement to enroll college students in Bible classes has received the approval of Chancellor Strong and many faculty members of the University.
CHRISTIANITY WAR'S REMEDY
"The proposed movement to mobilize North America for Christian World Democracy mets with my hearty appeal," said Doctor Strong. "This is a critical time for the Christian church and all its work, especially as it will influence world democracy. If we are to make the world more Testament powerful in the world it would seem it must be done now."
CHRISTIANITY WAR'S REMEDY
Dean F. J. Kelly of the School of Education also approves of the plan He said:
"In my estimation this movement is not a part of the war, but something growing out of it. It will clarify the issues at stake in the world war. The purpose of this campaign is to get the principles of Christianity applied by the nations to the contest among the nations."
WIN YET LOSE
The movement is one of the most important since the war began, R. A. Kent of the School of Education believes. "It's outreach is immeasurable," he said. "We need to apply the principles of Christianity to all our social life. The discussion of these principles in student education will help to bring about a realization of the meaning of Christian teachings."
"We can win the war and yet lose it if we fail to apply the ideals in our community and national life which are involved in this war," remarked Prof. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering. "I believe these discussion groups will help tremendously in the application of Christianity."
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner is strongly in favor of the movement. He said: "I believe primarily in these groups because they will be lectures and not discussion groups. Students make those things that they give expression to a part of their life."
George O. Foster believes the application of the teachings of Jesus are the only basis for a permanent peace.
Notice to Medical Students The following courses will be offered during the 1918 Sumn Ersition of the University provided an enrollment of 15 students is assured at once for them:
Biological Chemistry, 5 hours.
Medical Physiology, 10 hours.

Kansas And Aggie Men Will Clash In Opening Missouri Valley Meet
Few Veterans On Either Team And Outcome Is Hard To Done
The Kansas track team is in fine shape for the opening track meet of the Missouri Valley Conference which will be with the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan, Monday night. Ralph Rodkey is the only man not in condition to enter the meet. He was injured in practice a few days ago, and held this afternoon by a committee appointed by Coach Hamilton. Fred Rodkey, Cargill Sproull and Carl Rice are on this committee.
"It is hard to tell how we will come out in this meet as we are not sure of what we have. The Aggies are in the same condition," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "The new men have been working hard and a few if them are doing well."
For the dashes Coach Hamilton will depend upon Russell, Lobaugh and Haddock. The latter has been showing up well. Clift, Shreve, Murphy, Disson, Russell, and Ralph Roidkey have been working well in the quarter. Rodkey will be out for this week with an injured hip but will be able to work again next week. Murphy is one of the two veterans of the team and has been running true to form this spring.
The half milers are well balanced, all showing up about the same. The runners for the Aggie meet will be chosen from Murphy, McCall, Hannah, Brown, and Coffey. Haddock, Liggett, and Disson are out for the shot and will work in that event in the Aggie meet.
Welty has been showing up the best of the hurdlers and has been displaying excellent form in practice. Hobart and Simons are the other men out for the hurdles and are doing well. Welty and Howard are the only men who have shown any form in the pault vault. Welty has enlisted and is waiting his call but expects to be able to get in a few spring meets before going to the aviation camp.
Rice, Howard, and Smith are working on the high jump. Rice is a voteran of the team and is the best jumper in the Valley. Smith has enlisted but is in the reserves and expects to take part in the meets this spring.
Juniors And Freshmen Eliminated From Race In Basketball Series
Senior Women Win 34-3, and Sophomores 14-9 in Semi-Final Games
(Continued on page 4)
The playing of captain Dorothy Querfield of the seniors was the feature of the contest. The little forward tossed goals almost at will. Her aim was always excellent and she missed only a few shots throughout the contest. She caged eleven field goals in the two ten minute periods. Sarah Trant at right forward played her usual consistent game and added five goals from the field and a pair of free throws to the senior total. Her holder usually got the tip-off for her team, so fact helped materially in the overthrowing factory for the seniors. Ruth Endacott and Nelle Leibengood, senior guards, were in the game all the time and their steady work kept the junior forwards from attempting short shots at the goals.
The junior sextet was no match for the seniors, who were guarding and shooting goals in excellent form. They piled up a total of sixteen field goals while the seniors failed to 1-6ate the basket a single time from the field, their three points all coming from free throws.
The senior women easily defeated the juniors last night in the semifinals by a score of 34-3, while the sophomore tamer won from the freshmen. 14-9. The sophomores, by their victory last night, came into undisputed possession of second place in the semifinals. In a game of the University and will meet the seniors Saturday in the final contest to decide the title.

Nine Days Are Left To Have Picture Taken—Organization Glosses Wanted
Active Campaign Is On For Junior and Soph Section of Jayhawker
Only nine days are left for juniors and sophomores who wish to put their pictures in the 1918 Jayhawker to have their photograph taken. The final date for the acceptance of these pictures is February 28 and as most studios, require five days for finishing a photograph, it will be necessary for students to arrange for sittings immediately.
The campaign for junior and sophomore pictures is now on in full force. Postcards telling of the sections were mailed to every member of the two classes yesterday and photographers have already reported an increase in the number of applications for sittings. All studios in Lawrence will run at full speed during the remainder of the month, turning out pictures for those who want them for these sections.
"The response to the call for junior pictures has been very encouraging" said Harry Morgan, editor of the annual this morning. "Many photographs have already been turned in, and we expect many more every day. The juniors seem to be quite enthusiastic over the junior section, most of them because they know there will
braes they will not be back on the Hill next fall. The exceptionally low junior fee—one dollar—is also attractive. This is the lowest amount that has ever been charged for a junior section."
The sophomore section, which is new this year, also promises to be a big success. There was no sophomore section in last year's book; but th one in the 1916 annual was well overweight. The second seems to be a general feeling among second year students that their class should be well represented.
Members of the two classes, assisted by members of the annual staff, will begin a personal solicitation for pictures tomorrow. It is planned to make a personal call upon every member of the two classes.
The Jayhawer office, in the news room of the Daily Kansan building, is open daily, except Saturday, for the acceptance of junior, sophomore and organization pictures. Office hours are from 10 to 11 o'clock a.m. and from 1 to 4 o'clock p.m. Snapshots may also be turned in at these hours.
Half of the copy for the book must be in the hands of the printer by March first. The annual will appear May first.
Engineers In Service May Return To Study Under New War Rule
Volunteers and Drafted Mer May Be Transferred To Engineer Reserve Corps
Instructions received from the War Department yesterday at the School of Engineering regarding engineering students who have enlisted or been drafted, make it possible, under certain conditions, those students to come back to school.
The Secretary of the War has directed that enlisted men now in active service, who entered the service by voluntary enlistment or draft after September 1917, and who had a standing in the upper third of the army. The Army also transferred to the Engineer Enlisted Reserve Corps for the purpose of completing courses in approved technical schools.
There are 117 approved technical schools in the United States and the School of Engineering at K. U. is one of them. The men who return to school under these regulations will be placed on the inactive list of enlisted men and will not receive pay. They must, however, make a report on their progress to the Warrior Corps as to their standing and progress. Immediately upon graduation or leaving school they will go into active service.
The Y. M, C. A, and Y, W. C, A.
rooms at Myers Hall will be reopened
for use again Friday afternoon. The
rooms have been closed for the past
two weeks on account of the coal
shortage.
The women's prom at Robinson Gymnastics is to be held next Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Although it is to be a patriotic party, efforts are being made to make it equal to former years. During the intermission three original stunts are to be given. Those women who are not invited will be joined by a number of those of more experience. Each one of the older women is to have two or more dances with the younger set.

Plain Tales From The Hill
AH. HOW SAD!
The gym suit from himself did throw
Then tried to ope the locker door.
The freshman heard the whistle blow,
And gaily to his locker torc;
the blonde wig, the black cap.
The doggone thing was sady stucks.
The freshman at the mouth did
At last he had to pass the back,
He wore, alas, his gym suit home.
(But that afternoon he went back
and had the janitor pry the locker
open.)
CAN THIS BE TRUE?
The freshman Sherlock by diligent sleuthing and copious use of the needle elibies that he has discovered why military drill companies drilling at four o'clock are always held fifteen or twenty minutes overtime. His theory is that since they do three days drill in two days it must be that a general vacation will be granted about the middle of the semester.
A sociology professor while calling the roll yesterday came to the name "Begholt." He called the name and the young lady answered "present." Then with a puzzled look upon his face, the professor curiously asked, "I wonder Miss Begholt, if you are Mrs. Begholt's daughter?"
A sorority house mother in preparing for a fraternity call telephoned the baker. After calling for several articles and receiving each time the answer, "Sorry, but we're just out," the house mother at last sharply asked, "Wil, well! Now I wonder if you have any lady fingers on hands?"
Frozen Water Pipes
Thawed By Electricity
City Engineer Uses Apparatus Made By K. U. Students
E. H. Dummire, city engineer, with the aid of an apparatus made by the students in the School of Engineering, started thawing out frozen water pipes with electricity this week for the first time in Lawrence.
Dean G. C. Shaad, of the School of Engineering, says the process is very simple. A current of 100 amperes is applied to and run through the three-fourths inch service pipe, requiring about forty-five minutes to melt the ice in the pipe. The adjustment of the apparatus, attaching it to the pipe, and finishing the job requires about two hours. With this equipment, consisting of a transformer and rheostat, nine different pipes were cleared in two days at the cost of $1.25 each.
Dramatic Club Elects
"If we were to have another winter like this," said Mr. Dunnery yesterday, "I would recommend that the purchase such equipment for its own use."
Dramatic Club Elects
Two try-out plays, "Aroused at Last," and "Kid Curlers" were given last night at a meeting of the Dramatic Club. Herman Hangen, Marie Ketels, Mildred Glmore, Opal Herr, and Hartzel Ray were elected members of the club. Monte Wing, Blanche Coventry, and Richard Stoddard were placed on the waiting list.
The next two of the popular play series will be going March 6.

Seniors Agitate For Rescinding Action On Senior Alumni Dinner
Committee Takes Up Question of Suppressing Commencement Exercises
Class May Petition Senate
Unless Gym Is Used For Engineering Corps—Seniors Will Push Matter
Imperative matters in regard to the suppression of Commencement functions and activities will be taken up this afternoon at 5 o'clock at a joint meeting of the commencement and memorial committees of the senior class in the basement of Green Hall.
Recommendation was made recently by the Chancellor's cabinet to University Senate that there be no senior alumni dinner this year. The Senate's action confirming the recommendation is meeting with considerable disfavor among the seniors. The annual dinner has always been one of the leading events of commencement week and is held virtually new grads. The Senate in line with its policy of shortening commencement week and cutting out all unnecessary expense and functions, has decided against the dinner.
Expenses for the banquet except for one year have been paid by the University out of the students' graduation fees. An agitation is spreading among the members of the senior class to bear all the expenses of the banquet themselves if necessary, as was one two years ago when the state auditor refused to approve vouchers for it. The chief obstacle to this plan for giving the dinner is that there is no suitable place to meet the客客 (except in the Robinson Gymnasium). It is quite possible that a company of engineers may be quartered there by that time. It is still a matter of doubt however as to whether the engineers will be brought here.
"To dispense with the dinner would seem to be discouraging the presence of the alumni this commencement," said Warren Watties, president of the Senior class today noon. "No doubt this would cut down unnecessary traffic. The coal shortage should be over before June however and this will not be a factor to be considered. While we wish to be as patriotic as possible, everyone will eat a dinner anyway that day. We are planning nothing more elaborate than an ordinary meal, so there will be no waste in that. I hope we can have the dinner, as it will be probably the last occasion on which the class of '18 can get together."
It has been proposed to circulate a petition among the seniors for permission to have the dinner and to present it to the University Senate.
The members of the commencement committee are: Chairman, William H. Wilson; Mary Brownlee, Margaret Hodger, Hodge Dolbeer, and Rudolph Uhrlaub. On the memorial committee are: Chairman, Walter Raymond; Gertrude LaCoss, Mignon Schell, Nell Blurt, Elizabeth Plank, Charles Shugart, George Thiele, Clarence Gorrill, and Lyndon McHenry.
Vocational Committee Advises College Women
Questionnaires for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not college girls wish guidance in their choice of a vocation were issued early in the fall, by the committee on vocational work of the Association of Collegeiate Alumnae. It was circulated among freshman girls by their advisers. The committee is working in co-operation with Mrs. William Cramer, manager of the vocational bureau of the A. C. A. in Kansas City.
The committee will establish regular office hours within the next few days, in order to advise women concerning their choice of vocations. The members of the committee are Miss Alice Winston, chairman of the department of English, Miss Lilia Walling of the department of physiology, and Mrs. T. T. Smith of the department of home economics.
Miss Marjorie Templin, c14. who has been working in the bacteriology laboratory of the United States government for Camp Funston has been called to report soon for dietetic work in the Base Hospital at Alanta, Ga.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the city, and to render it more than merely printing the news that is important to the university values; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to be generous; to leave one's smile on the wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
THURSDAY, FEB. 14, 1918.
THE TWENTY-FIFTH HOUR
Astronomers many years ago divided the day into twenty-four hours. The University Senate is trying to divide it into twenty-five hours. Students here do not like the experiment.
And the result. Any student could have predicted it, but the Senate overlooked it. There has been so little time left that those who have gone into war work or war courses—most of them for no credit—neglect their studies. Students feel that they cannot remain unanswered the call of the Chancellor and other University war workers for student support of all war measures. But the day is only so long;
6:45 o'clock. Get up. Sleepy.
7:40 o'clock. Grab some breakfast.
8 o'clock. Be on Hill for class work
8 to 11 o'clock. Class work.
11 to 12 o'clock. Study a bit.
12 to 12:45 o'clock. Eat, don't talk
out digest .
1 to 2:45 o'clock. Student activities of all kinds.
3 to 4 o'clock. Red Cross work other war work, or laboratory work.
4 to 5 or 6 o'clock. . Compulsory exercise or laboratory work.
6 to 10:30 o'clock. Ready for sup-
per or a peaceful moment .
6:30 to 7 o'clock Supper, thirty minutes for lunch.
10:45 o'clock. Taps. All lights out. Out of a hurried day.
7:30 to 10:30 o'clock. Study. Be sure and concentrate. If there is library work to do, let other lessons so till later. It is the only way.
Things left undone.
That down-town errand. . The necessary amount of recreation. No war work or skimping it, if any done. The unwritten letter home. The research work which you did not do. The clothing you did not mend. The committee meeting that you missed. The half-hour reading of the daily paper to keep in touch with the world. For the working student—still unaccounted for—his five hours of labor with which he is earning his way through the University.
Copernicus and Galileo found out some wonderful things, and their scientific successors found out a few more. But none of them ever found more than twenty-four hours and two normal tides in a day. The K. U. student may do better. And then again he may not.
JUSTIFICATION
The question of wearing military uniforms at the University of Kahsas is now settled. It could not have been settled, however, until proper intelligence concerning army supplies came to the department of physical education here from ordnance officers in Washington. Before this information arrived, while there was still doubt that the fighting forces of the nation had sufficient equipment
to spare any for probationers to the service, the Kansas consistently refused to sanction the adoption of uniforms at the University.
Washington reports that at least 200 students can be supplied with cotton uniforms. Cotton uniforms were insisted upon. The undergraduate will have no hardship to buy them. And to all appearances they are not needed by soldiers. These facts change the whole situation here and, coming as they do, in answer to the pertinent inquires the Kansan repeated again and again in months past, justify the attitude the paper was compelled by circumstances to take. Now that the uniforms can be bad, the Kansan salutes it with a will
HOOVER SAYS TO COLLEGE STUDENTS
In the relief of Belgium, most of the actual work of the commission in the occupied territory was done by young American collegians.
. . . . .
At no time in the world's history has the technically trained mind been at a higher premium.
---
To the younger men, the lower classmen, only beginning their professional training, I say: Keep on with your college work.
To the upper classman, I would say; Hold yourself ready to respond to your country's present need at any moment.
. . . .
To the great army of American college and university graduates, I would say: The country looks to you for justification of the advantages it is now giving you. You are a privileged class.
BASEBALL MORALE
With the appearance of the warm days, the "gang" invaded South Park armed with gloves, bats and balls, and marked off the diamond. The baseball season for 1918 was unofficially begun.
The baseball season is as inevitable as the fact of the "gang" itself. The season is bounded only by weather conditions, not by arbitrary dates on the calendar; it is the rule of young boys.
For the older boys, indoor practice for baseball was started in Robinson Gymnasium at the same time. The University of Kansas will have its baseball team as usual. This fact too, is as inevitable as spring.
The University will play ball, not in spite of the war, but because of it. Athletics in general are all the more necessary because of war. The government urges the colleges not to abandon them, and sets an example by encouraging its army cantonments to engage in it.
The baseball season is coming, and there will be no barriers placed in its path. It is just another of the many things that will help win the war. If the "gang" had been prevented from marking off the little diamond in South Park; if some one should say that the home plate would never be set on McCook Field; if it were all work and no play at Camp Funston, it is not any more likely that the boys would march eagerly off to war.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
The domestic science girls at the University of Oregon are making butterless, eggless, milkless, sugarless doughnuts which are cooked in vegetable fats. The general ingredients of these "Hoover doughnuts" are mashed potatoes and graham four, thickened with syrup.
Plans for the elimination of "cribbing" under consideration for the past three years at Ohio State University have culminated in the publication of a pamphlet describing several measures which might wipe out the evil.
"Saving for Uncle Sam" is to mark the ten days between Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays at the University of Illinois Thrift stamps will be floated among the University members by teams from both the faculty and student bodies.
Alfreshmen at the Ohio State University are required to undergo a thorough physical examination before assigned to training classes in order that defects may be corrected by specially directed training. All new men reporting for the first time absolutely must take the examination.
The war is playing all kinds of sport with the Big Ten basketball teams. Coal shortage and the School of Military Aeronautics have caused the closing of the Wisconsin and Ohio state gymnasiums. They may be forced to play their home games on their rivals' floors.
Oklahoma boys are making good for Uncle Sam. Proof of this was manifested when out of the sixteen men chosen from Camp Bowie to attend the Engineers Reserve Officers Training Camp, five of the men were from the University of Oklahoma.
The thirteenth annual junior prom at the University of Utah held February 8, was turned into a farewell for the University men leaving for the service.
Two days' canvassing at the Ohio State University has netted more than $25,000, which will be turned over to the Columbus War Chest.
Preparations for the biggest Kake Walk in years at Vermont University are being made by the different committees. The stunt outlines, which have been handed in, indicate a variety of theme and suggest an abundance of good material.
Dedication of the new dental building at the University of Iowa, will take place on Washington's birthday. The seventy-first birthday of the University of Iowa will be celebrated February 25. Senator Kenyon may be one of the speakers.
With a decrease of 400 in the college at the Ohio State University, the school of engineering at that institution showed an increase of 633 over the same time last year.
Washburn is to have a college farm run by a competent farmer. This was decided by the trustees at their meeting on "Washburn Day."

YE STONE AGE VALENTINE
Twas in the olden time St. Valentine went out and gathered palm leaves by the brooklets. And when he had collected an ample store he sat himself down and grinned. Then taking unto himself sticks of color, he straightened the electric light shade and began to work.
His efforts he expended upon a sketch of a malipidus osriosus, which he brightened with carmine of the poppy, blue of the violet, and green of the cactus. It had a face leering and cynical with the expression of an injured hippotamus. St. Valentine inscribed beneath it the magic words, "This is you," with an appropriate verse, and sent it to his beloved old teacher.
Then tore he palm leaves into shreddy shapes, printing a heart in blood red therion and wreathing delicate blue flowerleters around the edge. Upon this he wrote with trembling hand something about twin hearts which beat as one, and sent it to the maiden in the flat across the street.
This much did St. Valentine February 14, long ago. As he sees the crude efforts of the aching hearts today, he nods his head, strikes his beard, and says, "Tis much the same, 'tis much the same."

Dramatic Club Is Planning To Give More One-Act Plays
"Every year," said Lewis M. Hull manager of "The Checkmate" this morning, "the Dramatic Club endeavors to take a definite stand for some public question and to support that enterprise. This year it is a war measure which the Club is helping by contributing the net proceeds of "The Checkmate" given February 20, ad Joint Rockers Theater, to the Red Cross."

In presenting "Under Cover" last year the dramatic club laid the foundation for one big play each year, "The Checkmate," which has heavy parts, is the important play this year. The little plays which are given once a month in the Little Theater in Green Hall also are a result of the efforts of the club to help the Red Cross. Two plays Saturday of last week earned a small amount of money for the Red Cross and similar plays are planned for the remainder of the semester.
"We also are building the popular play idea," said Harold Lytle, president of the club, "when we promote these one-act plays. We believe these little plays are the coming feature of the stage."

An Opportunity for SOPHOMORES.
The Sophomore Section of the 1918 Jayhawker will be composed of individual photographs, in panels, of all second year students who care to pay a small fee of $1 for the privilege of insertion. The sophomores who are managing the section are enthusiastic in their praise of it; and it's going to be a big feature of the book. You should be in it, because:
1- Ten years from now, when you sit back in your easy chair and recall your college days, you'll get an amount of pleasure and satisfaction out of seeing your photograph in the "Jayhawker" that is worth dollars more than the small sophomore fee.
2- Because, due to the uncertainties of war, you may not be back on the Hill again next year—and you will most certainly want your picture in at least one "Jayhawker." This year may be your last chance.
3—Because the "1918 Jayhawker" is sure to be the last elaborate annual published at K. U. for many years—and you should have your picture in it.
4—Because the cost is small, “Jayhawker” dues for sophomores are only one dollar, this amount including your space and your “cut.”
5—Because the "1918 Jayhawk" is K. U.'s first and greatest "war annual," and it will be a book unique in the history of annual publishing at Kansas. You'll be proud of the annual, and proud that your picture is in it.
Prompt action on this matter is imperative. The final date for sophomore pictures is February 28; and this means that you must have a sitting with a photographer not later than February 23. Call a photographer today!—

Expect Games To Be Easy
Jayhawkers Have Scored Total Of 345 Points To Opponents' 268
With the last lap of the race for the basketball championship of the Missouri Valley just beginning, the Missouri Tigers holds a firm place on the first rung of the ladder, with the Kansas Aggies in second position and the Jayhawkers holding down third place. Missouri still boasts of an undefeated team and the only blot on the record of Coach Chevenger'sAggies is the defeat handed the Farmers in their last game here.
The Jayhawkers play Nebraska in Lincoln tomorrow and Saturday in what should be a pair of easy Kansas victories, as Washington had no trouble winning from the Huskers and the K. U. quintet experienced lit-

the difficulty in downing the Pikers in two games. Kansas still has a chance at the championship, although it is somewhat poor. Coach Hamilton's Crimson and Blue basketsmen can win out if they win every remaining game on the schedule and that means that they must defeat both the Aggies and the Tigers two games. All four of the deciding contests are to be played on foreign courts and this will will the Jayhawkers at a disadvantage.
Kansas thus far this season has proved herself capable of scoring with the best teams in the conference. The Jayhawkers have piled up a total of 345 points to their opponents 268. The Crimson and Blue quintet has scored a total of 148 field goals, 48 more than their opponents. Where Kansas has given way to the enemy has been in free throwing. The opposing teams have counted 68 points by the free throw route while Dutch Uhrlauro and John Blunt were tearing team sets from fouls for Kansas. The fact that the Jayhawkers have made about two fouls for every one by their opponents account for the shortage of Crimson and Blue free throws, however.

Slow Time Is Result In Tryouts For First Track Meet of Season
Coach Hamilton Selects Most of Team to Meet Aggies at Manhattan Monday
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 15, 1919
Dash Events Appear Strong
Best Work Is Done In Quarter Mile—Pole Vault and High Jump Strong Points
The team which will represent the Jayhawkers at Manhattan in the Kansas-Aggie meet Monday night was practically selected yesterday afternoon by tryouts in Robinson Gymnasium. All of the time was much slower than that at the tryouts last year.
Probably the best time was that in the quarter-mile, won by Russell within sixteen seconds. Davinson and Cliff also showed well in this event.
Pole vaulting was also one of the strong points of the tryout, as was the high jump. Woward and Welty did better than ten feet in the vault and Howard is expected to do higher than 10:06 in the Agile meet. Rice, Welty, and Howard are the likely candidates for the high jump. Rice is an old man on the team and is capable of clearing 6 feet.
The time in all of the distance events was remarkably slow. Dewall and Hunt placed in the order named in the mile, the time being extremely slow>5:12 minutes. In the two-mile event, Hanna won first and Buffington was second. The time was nearly a minute slower than last season's this year's time being 11 minutes. The time was slow with Cliff and Davidson leading. Murphy, the regular half-miler, is capable of making the circuit in 2:08, but he was not running yesterday. The time was 2:23 minutes.
The dashing events looked strong in the tryouts yesterday. Haddock and Lobaugh won first and second in the thirty-yard dash. Hobart, Welty, Haddock, and Lobaugh showed best in the hurdles. Haddock and Lobaugh did best in the shortest work in the shotout, Haddock doing some excellent weight tossing.
Ralph Rodkey, who was a likely candidate for the quarter and half mile and possibly the relay team, will be out of track work for the next two or three weeks on account of a bad hip hurt in practice recently. He will not go to Manhattan. There will be eighteen men taken on the trip but only sixteen men may be entered in the meet, so that the exact men whom Coach W. O. Hamilton plans to take are still undetermined.
The men will leave Monday morning at 11:52'clock on the Union Plaza.
K. U. Women To Salvage Waste Metal Material
Tooth Paste Tubes, Cold Crean Jars, and Tin Foil to Add to War Funds
University women are asked to save:
A salvage committee has been formed under the direction of Miss Margaret Lynn, director of Women's war work, which will organize the collection of waste material. This will be solo manufacture and distributed from the army used for some form of war work. Lucene Spencer is chairman of the committee.
Tin foil.
Tooth paste tubes and other metal containers.
Scraps of aluminum, cooper, and lead.
Old fruit jar lids.
Cold cream jars. ,
Medicine bottles, 2 to 6 ounces washed.
Boxes for the collection of the salvage will be placed in Fraser Hall and the Gymnasium. Material will be collected on Thursday but women may bring things any day of the week.
The sale of this waste, if the women adopt this campaign enthusiastically, will mean more money for the war work. The Kansas City chapter of the Red Cross has organized a salvage department which has been successful in collecting and selling salvage to manufacturers.

Senate Rule Permits Freshmen To Debate
Freshmen will be allowed to debate this year, according to a ruling made by the University Senate at its last meeting. The Senate took into consideration the fact that first year men were permitted to appear on the ballot because they were more why discrimination should be made against the debate squads.
Work is now being pushed for the triangular debates as they are scheduled for March 28. The individual teams for the two debates will be chosen in about two weeks. Three of them will be the five on each squad will be chosen.
At present, work of the Missouri squad is limited to research work concerning the history and working of the question. The date of the debate has not been definitely set.
The War
Here and Over There
Over 1,500 ship builders have en listed at Kansas City the past week.
Thirty-one thousand men at Camjf Funston have taken government insurance.
The army is calling for 37,500 nurses. This is nearly ten times as many as it has now.
Most of the money loaned to the Allies by the United States has been spent in this country.
The government reports a large decrease in the number of deaths in army camps the past month.
The army today has 344,000 horses and mules. This is about five times as many as it had when the war began.
American soldiers and sailors have taken out over three billion dollars worth of government insurance.
Men to finish out the first draft will be called during the latter part of February and the first part of March.
The Third Liberty Loan which will be floated some time in March will be greater than the first and second loans combined.
The Shipping Board has notified shipyards in the east that they will be taken over by the government if strikes are not ended immediately.
Seattle was the first city to launch a ship under the government's emergency fleet contract. The vessel was an eight thousand ton steel merchantman.
All of the 109 ships seized from Germany when this country entered the war are now in the service of the government. They add a total of five hundred thousand tons to our fleets.
Governor Capper has asked the government to take over one hundred miles of privately owned railroad between Joplin and Pittsburg in order to stop strikes which are halting coal shipments from Pittsburg.
Miss Carrie Woolsey, A. B.'18, B., '16, is suffering from a severe burn received recently. Miss Woolsey who has been teaching in the high school n Tulsa, Okla., fainted while alone in her room and fell against the stove which burned her face severely. She was taken immediately to a hospital.
Guy C. Robinson, c18, has left the University to accept a position as chemist with the Atlas Powder Company at one of their plants in New Jersey. Robinson plans to do the rest of his college work by correspondence and receive his degree in the spring.
Gets Job as Chemist
All students who have left books in the Book Exchange but have not called for them or received their money for them are asked by the managers to do so Saturday morning between 9 and 12 o'clock in Frankfort, if they choose it not called for then, Walter Raymond, in charge of the exchange said today, it will be turned over to the Men's Student Council.

Variety of Entertainment Features Will Be Followed By General Dance
Colonial Party Will Carry Out Patriotic Idea In Novel Scheme
Details of the program for the All-University Colonial Party to be given February 23 are being perfected and new ideas will be used to carry out the patriotic feature of the event. Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, is directing the party and every effort will be made to provide a high class entertainment. No admission will be charged.
Herman Hangen, chairman of the committee on general arrangements, announces that the program will begin promptly at 7:30 o'clock with the one act play, "Efficiency," which was given last Saturday night in Green Hall as the first of the week to play the Club. Popular war songs will be sung by the members of the Men's Glee Club under the direction of John R. Wahltedt.
"Kanning King Kan," a pageant by sixteen University girls showing the effects of "Hoverizing" upon the K. U. students, will be the third number on the program. Miss Susan MacDonald is directing this pageant.
Miss Dorothea Engle will give her colonial dance as the last number on the program. She has given this dance in colonial costume several times and it always has been well received.
A general reception will be held on the first floor of the Gymnasium following the program. Those in the receiving line will be Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong, Mrs. Eustace from the class president, with their company.
After the reception dancing will take place on the second floor. A four piece orchestra will furnish the music.
Special War Courses Offered For Summer
Scientific Preparation For Active Service Offered If Enrollment Is Sufficient
Additional courses in biological chemistry, medical physiology, medical bacteriology, and parasitology will be offered to medical students in the summer session of the University, if a sufficient number of students signify their desire to enroll in the courses. The additional courses are offered in line with the University's curriculum, of fitting study for active war service as rapidly as possible. The instructors will be Prof. C. S. Nelson, Prof. O. O. Stoland, Prof. N. P. Sherwood, and Prof. B. M. Allen.
"One of the most important reasons, aside from the war idea of preparation, for adding these courses "to the schedule," said F. J. Kelley, director of the summer session, "is that we do not wish to overtax the limited laboratory space in the regular session. About sixty-five students will be ready for this work in the fall, and they can be accommodated. However, if you are enough students who sign up for these courses for the summer term to make a difference in the fall enrollment they will not be given.
"Students will save about a half year by enrolling in these special courses" continued Dean Kelley, "or they may take other work in its place that will be useful. While many students have signified their intention of taking the courses, more are needed. Those interested should report to my office, Fraser 119."

As many conditions in Oklahoma and Kansas are similar, and as Kansas has had a sanitary engineering department several years, it was decided to pattern the Oklahoma department after the department of this state.
Campaign For Juniors And Sophomores Starts With Promising Results
Annual Men Pleased With Results of First Day's Drive For Pictures
One hundred eighteen junior.
One hundred and forty-five sophomore.
That's the record of the first day's solicitation for pictures for the junior and sophomore sections in the 1918 Jailhawker. Solicitors have been busy all day, since the launching of the campaign last night; and it is already evident that the two sections of the book will rival the senior section in size. A force of fifteen men are soliciting in both classes.
"I am highly pleased with the results of the first day's campaigning," Harry Morgan, editor of the book, said this morning. "The amount of space already signed up for exceeds the total of any past year. And the solicitors have been working only one day. They will continue all this week and next week; and I believe that both the junior and sophomore sections as a result of this solicitation, will be larger than the senior section itself. The 1918 Jayhawker is everybody's annual, not just a sensational annual. There is a great deal of enthusiasm for it among classes, as well as in the senior class; and this makes it easy to convince juniors and sophomores that they should insert their photographs in the book.
"Then, too, the extreme possibility that there will be no Jayhawk next year, coupled with the fact that the 1918 book will be almost as elaborate as the after-the-war books, is helping create enthusiasm for the book."
Another Jayhawk campaign that is attracting considerable attention is the snapshot contest, announced Wednesday by Brick Chandler, snapshot editor. Brick offers prizes of three annuals to the three persons—faculty, graduates, seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen or specials—who turn in the snappit snapshots or collection of snapshots. "We already have a choice collection of keen stuff for the snapshot section," says Brick, "but we want a lot more." The snappit section is the heart of any annual, and I'm trying to make the 1918 Jayhawker a big-hearted book. The week of February 25 to March 2 will be known as "snapshot week" and a box will be placed on the campus for the collection of contributions.
Those who turn in snapshots for the contest should enclose them in an envelope with a slip bearing the name of the competitor. No writing should be placed on the backs of the prints.
Fine Arts Authorities
Seek To Unify Work
Prof. Paul Utt; head of the department of music of Ottawa University was elected president of the organization. Prof. Louis C. Rowland, head of the department of piano at Baker, was elected secretary and treasurer.
A conference of the heads of the schools of music and conservatories of the State of Kansas was held at Parsons, February 6 and 7 to make uniform, if possible, entrance requirements in both academic and musical subjects, arrange minimum courses and establish a uniform basis for uniform credit between schools and conservatories forming this organization.
The plan of uniform entrance requirements and courses offered toward the A. B. degree has been followed by the colleges of the state for many years and it is hoped to bring the schools of music to an equally high standard. This is the first organization of its kind in the United States
The schools represented at the conference were: The school of fine arts of the University Agricultural college, state normal, College of Emporia, Baker University, Ottawa University, Salina Wesleyan, Fairmount College and famous Muller School of Music at Topeka. Six other schools in the state which were unable to send delegates to the conference have applied since for membership in the organization.
The University of Iowa quintet practically cinched the championship if Iowa when it defeated Ames by the me-sided score of 24-9.

Plain Tales From The Hill
An architectural engineer, grown desperate by long, weary hours of bitter toil, casts discretion to the four winds of heaven and calls up a sophomore woman for a dance date. This in itself is unprecedented for who among us ever heard of an architect having a really date?
At the library, the architect after pacing the side walk for ten minutes, slowly slides his right hand into the slowly pocket of his pearl grey trousers. "Will she never come to me?" he asks with thin cloak slides over the face of the full moon. "Can it be that she is triflin' wit muh?"
"Sure, I'll be tickled to death to go," coz the co-ed a flickering smile hovering upon her full red lips. He lifted her face as if toast after a tiger. Er-ay—coodya!
At this thrilling moment a low-hung Ford speedster draws up to the curb. The woman gracefully alights. The glare of the arc light plays upon her crepe de chine coat, a magnificent garment of Gothic design a Renaissance key worked in red beads up and down the bias, the collar of Catherine de Medici daintily cimmed in Russian sable.
The architect who has been gazing in wonderment recovers his self possession with an effort. "So yer here, little go!", he stammers with a weak smile. "Let's go in and lap up a limmin coke."
"Ah, Harold, be brave. I must break your heart!" The architect turns so pale she can hear the sound. Her wonderful yellow eyes flash. "Nay, Harold, I cain't go t' the dawning tonight. I just got married yesterday. See, see here is the license." Slow curtain.
On the level now, ain't truth stranger than fiction.
They were standing in the middle of the long bread line in front of the registrar's office waiting for grades. "Gee," piped a sympathetic voice, "I'll bet that girl gets tired of handling out grades to all this rabble." "She's also a other senior needed," I imagine she feels like saying "D' to all of us."

K. C. Alumni to Give Banquet
The Kansas City Albumn of the University will give its annual dinner February 25 at the University Club Kansas City, Missouri. This annual dinner has been an important University occasion for several years and is one of this year's event. Many alumni are in active military service now and it is possible that some of them may be present. Invitations have been sent to the members of the faculty.
Men's Glee Club to Funston
The Men's Glee Club will go to Camp Funston on a three-day trip next month. They also expect to give concerts at Junction City, and Atchison. About twenty-five men will go on the trip. The club had planned to make a trip to Camp Funston and Manhattan, the first of February, but had to cancel these dates because of the large number of quarantines at both places.
Prof. G. W. Stratton, Dr. C. F. Nelson and Dr. F. B. Dains of the department of chemistry will attend the meeting of the American Chemical Society at the Hotel Kupper in Kansas City on Saturday, February 16 at 7:30 p. m. Prof. G. W. Stratton is secretary of the society. Mr. Curtiss Hill, city engineer of Kansas City, will give a talk on the "Incineration of Garbage."
Commencement Week Problems Put Before Senior Mass Meeting
Meeting of Class To Be Held Immediately After Special Convocation
Vattles Wants Expression
Committees Met Thursday To Organize Plans For Class Day Exercises
The three commencement committees of the senior class in a meeting last night expressed a desire that commencement be extended to include two days, Monday and Tuesday, June 3 and 4. A meeting of the class will be held this afternoon after convoction in Robinson Gymnastics to discuss this and other phases of the commencement problem.
"The feeling of the commencement, cap and gown and invitation committees," said Warren Wattles this morning, "is that an extra day of commencement exercises will not affect the war, whereas it will relieve what would otherwise be a crowd condition," he added. He held on Monday, and Commencement proper on Tuesday, eliminating much inconvenience and confusion."
Most of the Committeemen at the joint meeting of the cap and gown, memorial, and senior-alumni committees stated that they are in favor of having the regular annual senior alumni dinner. This matter, however, will be left to the senior class at the mass meeting.
Another question which Wattles will bring before the seniors is that of raising money for a memorial to be given to the University. If the class wants to have a memorial, it was decided the committee meet immediately. Walter Raymond, chairman will have charge of this drive.
The general feeling among the committees in regard to caps and gowns coincided with that of Chancellor Strong. "The faculty has taken no action against the wearing of caps and gowns. The wearing of them would oblige the individual sense that it would to do away with them."
It was decided at this joint meeting to use invitations similar to those used last year. No leather invitations, however, will be used.
W.A.A.Plans to Give Circus March 6 With Only Women Admitted
Promoters Hopes of Knocking Socks Off Barnum and
"Circus-day" will be put on in Robbins gymnasium the night of March 6 by the Womens' Athletic Association, it was announced today noon by Dorothy Tucker president of the association. Plans to put on a circus with all the features of Barnum and Bailey at their best, were formulated at a meeting of the "A Girls" last night, in the Gym.
Committees were appointed to take charge of the different parts and it was decided to use the entire lower floor of Robinson Gymnasium for the burlesque. Only women will be admitted to the performance. Miss Tucker said today noon that nothing would be omitted to make the affair a copy of the real circus in all features.
Talent from all women students probably will be used in putting on the stunts for this circus," said MISS Tucker, and it is the intention of the W. A. A. to make it for the enjoyment of every woman in the University."
Those who will have charge of arrangements for the circus are: Doris Drought, Ruth Endacott, Ruth Endacott, floor committee, and Dorothy Querfeld, publicity.

THAT EXTRA SLICE
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1918.
Do you know that if you eat more than one thick slice of bread at each meal or more than one muffin for breakfast that you are eating more food than the voluntary ration for American civilians permits? You are eating part of the amount which the Food Administration says is necessary to send to the Allies.
The voluntary rationals for the average American for one week are:
Three pounds of war bread, including oatmeal, cornmeal, and other wheat substitutes.
Three-fourths of a pound of sugar
Two and a half pounds of beef.
One-half pound of pork.
One-half pound of wheat flour to be used in sauces and gravies.
One-half pound of fats for cooking.
One-half pound of butter for the table.
One-half pound of fats for cooking. The Food Administration has not made food saving compulsory in this country. It is seeking to persuade the people of the United States of its necessity and so make compulsory rationing unnecessary.
Do you know how much food you eat in one week? Are you willing to figure out the amount and abide by the Hoover pledge which practically every University student signed last fall?
There is to be a convocation where the speaker is eloquent and the subject vital. What changes hath the war wrought!
REMEMBER THE TUSCANIA
"The bodies were brought to the burial place on one big motor truck, which was followed along the route several miles long by a squad of twenty-five khaki-clad American survivors and the village mourners. One of the villagers carried the Union Jack, while an American soldier had aloft the Stars and Stripes.
"At the grave side, the American soldiers sang 'The Star Spangled Banner,' followed by the natives singing 'God Save the King.' The usual military salute was then fired, ending the ceremony."
Such was the funeral ceremony of the Tuscania's dead. It was proper that these men should have been buried with military honors. There should be no misunderstanding of what the graves on the Scottish coast mean.
These men gave their lives for their country.
Let no one think to the contrary.
Let no one think of this, our first considerable loss, as a thing which awakened America to the fact of war.
Never, can we spafe lives for that purpose. There would be no honor in thus dying.
When we remember the Tuscania, let us thing that in the cold waters of the Irish Sea, American soldiers
died for the cause as nobly and as heroically, as they ever would have died in the trenches of Lorraine.
A student who was almost enrolled when the whistle closing a course blew, has decided that those back in Washington are amateurs when it comes to the real handling of red tape.
A SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY
All of the $11,000 subscribed to the Students' Friendship War Fund by students of the University during the campaign here was due February 1. $6,000 of that amount is yet unpaid
The Registrar believes a campaign for the collection of the pledges will have to be started soon. The money is badly needed to carry on war relief. This condition is a six thousand and dollar reflection upon the good faith of the student body. Students should not have to be campaigned and dunned to force payment of their voluntary pledges.
The pledges have not been paid for because students found their allowances, perhaps, were unexpectedly short. Some spent the money for other things. A few have merely forgotten the payment.
But in making that pledge the student took upon himself the serious responsibility of its fulfillment. He made himself responsible to the specified extent. He furnished a basis for the expectation of the fund collectors.
If the pledge is not paid the work of this nearly sacred cause is cut short just so much. The payment should be equally as free and voluntary as was the pledge. Simple honesty should make a campaign unnecessary.
HOOVER SAYS TO THE COLLEGE STUDENT
The vital problem of world food is not generally understood.
. . . . .
They are pains felt by our allies as well as by our foes. We must make this known to all our people, 'that all our people may understand the great and indispensable and immediate role they must play in this all-important part of the war situation.
You can impress on the people around you, and wherever you go, the fact that the critical phase of the world food problem is now, not the question of high or low prices, but the question of producing and saving and sending enough food to our allies to keep them alive and strong and steadfast in war.
You can understand it, and you can explain it. You can help us let the people of this country know that our allies depend absolutely on us to maintain their food supply.
But not all of you can now march to battle; not all of you should try to, but all who should not or can not, and all who are sticking to their work of making themselves fitter for their future service can still serve, and serve now. There is very much that you can do right now.
From every American college man the country expects the truest devotion, the truest patriotism and the highest service. And it will get it. You will give it.

Tommy (dictating letter to be sent to his wife): The nurses here are a very plain lot—
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
His hat was caught by the wind and blown for half a block. Another student finally grabbed it and walked back with it and handed the headgear to the owner. He gruffy snatched it and continued on his way. Both trivial things, but one made the little thing count and the other failed to do the little thing.

Your Daily Quiz On University History
Question: Who set out the University iliae hedge?
Answer: Joseph Savage, a friend of Chancellor Marvin who owned a nursery farm south of Lawrence, offered the plants to Chancellor Marvin. At this time, the campus was quite barren. Chancellor Marvin was anxious to improve the campus, and one day accompanied by some students, he went to the Savage nursery. He brought the plants to the campus and planted the hedge.
CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will then not be used until you have completed the editor must know who is writing the communication as evidence of your writing. Communications are welcome.
To the Daily Kansan:
The companies in military drill at 4 o'clock have never been dismissed on time this semester. One night this week they were dismissed at 5 o'clock—ten minutes late. On every other night they have been held from fifteen to twenty minutes overtime.
Such conditions naturally make drill unpopular, and judging from conditions last semester, drill should be pular in order to succeed. Drill periods are regular Unierview periods; all classes should be dismissed promptly at ten minutes until the hour. This does not mean the companies should get a hard time at this time, but that they should be at the rvm and dismissed then.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this week by ordering their companies to double-time up the hill, the captains managed to get their men out of the gym at five minutes after five— fifteen minutes late.
If the student is to be compelled to take five hours military drill he certainly should be treated fairly by being dismissed on time.
Sidewalks can be uneven and only comparatively dangerous by daylight, but on lightless nights they can constitute a positive menace to public safety. A headline that ambiguously said Lawrence streets were unsafe at night would be a dreadful thing to publish, and lest civic pride be hurt I hope your valued paper never prints any such thing. But nocturnal pedestrian locomotion is so uncertain over two-inch abrupt granolithic precipices that a hope and a prayer do seem necessary.
Fair Play.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
I ruined a shoe. I skinned an ankel. I lost my equilibrium and my temper. And all on account of an unseen impediment in the assigned portion of the city throughfare for to walk upon. A little concrete neatly applied will eliminate many such obstructions in town. This is not complaint. Rather is this the expression of favorant lancing.
Yours truly,

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Four Semester Plan Not Likely Next Year
Of The Sixty Universities Questioned Sixteen Per Cent Use System
The four semester plan is not likely to go into effect next year, according to the Senate committee which has had the plan under consideration.
The Kansan has received answers from sixty institutions in reply to a questionnaire sent out some time ago asking for the four semester plan, universities.
Ten of the sixty universities, slightly more than sixteen per cent have already adopted the four term year. They are Chicago, Texas, Stanford, Oregon, University of Washington, Utah, Dartmouth, Mississippi, Georgia, New Mexico.
Of the remaining fifty, ten reported that they were considering the plan. These institutions are Maine, Syracuse, North Dakota, Boston, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Western Reserve, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Ohio State.
Letters from the heads of the other forty universities indicated that the two semester year with a summer school is proving entirely satisfactory.
So far as the Kansan has been able to learn the belief that conditions warrant a radical change to a four term year at the University of Kansas is held by very few members of the faculty or students.

Jayhawker Five Will Meet Cornhusker Team Tonight and Tomorrow
sively
Nebraska Line-up Weak—Have Lost Three Games Succes-
Coach W. O. Hamilton, accompanied b eight members of the Jayhawk basketball team, left at 8:40 o'clock last night for Lincoln, where the Kansas quintet meets the Cornhuskers tonight and tomorrow night in a pair of tussles. The players taken on dimeball teams have been Scrubby Laslett, Howard Miller, Johnny Bunn, Claude Matthews, Olin Fearing, Carl Rice and Jimmy Knoles.
The Crimson and Blue five will not enter the Nebraska games with any overconfident feeling, even though the Huskers present the weakest line-up that has represented the Nebraska school in years. The Jayhawkers are determined to return to Lawrence with two games in the victory column, however, as they realize that a defeat at Lincoln will eliminate them from the running in the championship race.
Nebraska has fallen to the cellar position in the Valley and has played three games without a victory. The Huskers have also been defeated by the Camp Dodge soldiers and by Camp Funston. Coach Stewart at the Lincoln institution had only green material from which to build a team this year, and only Jackson and Schellenberg have been playing in anything like real Missouri Valley Varsity form.
Schellenberg is a hard fighter and a fairly good goal shooter. He is likely to cause the Jayhawkers trouble, but he is not nearly so dangerous on the basketball court as he is on the football gridiron with a pigskin tucked under his arm. Schellenberg plays either forward or guard, and if he plays on the scoring end tonight, Scrubby Laslett will likely have another chance to stop the rushes of the big Husker athlete who performed so well on McCook Field last fall.
Bond Makes First Call For Baseball Tryouts
Chances Good For New Men To Make Letter With Veterans Gone
Jay Bond,
I want every man in the University who has ever had any experience as either a pitcher or catcher to report to me at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, February 18, on the main floor of the gymnasium for the first practice of Varsity battery candidates. There is an excellent chance for good battery men to make the team this year and I wish every man who is eligible would report.
Varsity baseball coach. Coach Bond has issued the first call for battery candidates for the Varsity baseball team for Monday afternoon in Robinson gymnasium. The candidates will meet on the main floor and begin working the kinks out of their arms in preparation for the beginning of outdoor practice in March. The men will work out in gymnasium suits until the outdoor work on McCook field commences and then the squad will be picked and uniforms given out.
A good turnout is expected in response to the first call, because of the fact that there was never a better chance for a good pitcher or catcher to make his letter than there is this year. Captain George Smee, Halleck Craig, Connie Poireir, veterans on the pitching staff of last year, were graduated last June and this leaves room for at least two and possibly three pitchers. The Valley games this year are to be played in

Dean Kelly Instructs Kansas City Teachers
F. J. Kelly, dean of the School of Education, is making weekly trips every Monday afternoon to Kansas City, Mo., in the interests of the extension department.
Dean Kelly has conducted in Kansas City thirteen two hour class periods on the study of the principles of supervision, dealing with the arrangement of curriculums for elementary schools. Forty-six ward school principals are enrolled. These principals have under this supervision twenty-five thousand school children of Kansas City.
This semester the course has been changed to educational measurements. The same teachers are enrolled with a few in addition. Exceptional interest has been throughout the courses as shown by the regular attendance of the principals enrolled.
The finals of the women's basketball series will not be played Saturday, but the seniors will meet the girl's team from Haskell. The deciding game between the seniors and sophomores will be played next week.

Women who are interested should begin to think about the women's swimming meet which will take place some time during the latter part of March, said Miss Hazel Pratt of the department of physical education.
"There promises to be greater competition this year than ever before because more wome nare coming out to practice. All those who are expecting to take part are planning to succeed. It is also possible. Members of the different classes will soon be choosing their captains."

K. U. Man Is Called To Kill Rats In France
Extermination of rats, probably the worst pests of trench warfare in the Allies' rrenches, is the mission of Remington Kellog, c'15. C. D. Bunker, curator of Dyche Museum received a letter recently from Kellog saying that he expected to sail for France immediately. The government called Kellog from his work in the United States Biological Survey to take up the mitter of the extermination of the trench rats.
Kellog previous to his work on the United States Biological Survey, assisted Mr. Bunker in the biological work of the museum.

Stunts To Preceed Dancing
Dates Are To Be Tolerated But Are Far From Being Necessary
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON FEBRUARY 18, 1918.
"The Colonial Party Saturday night is going to be an all-University function. Dates will be permitted but they are not necessary. All students, men and women, should attend whether they have dates or not," said Herman Hangen, manager of the party, when questioned this morning.
Promptly at seven-thirty o'clock the program will start and the doors will be closed after the program has begun. The early hour is necessary in order to finish the program and still have time for the dancing. The doors will be closed to those who come late in order not to interrupt the program.
A double stage will be built on the second floor of the gymnasium where the entire program will be given. A trench will occupy the front of the second stage and here the glee club will sing the trench songs of the Allies. It is expected that the University Band will play patriotic selections during the program. The play, "Efficiency" will be presented, Dorothea Engel will dance a colonial dance, and about fifty University girls will present a pageant on Hooverizing.
"The second floor of the gym will be decorated with the colors of the Allies," said Herman Hangen, this morning. "The lower floor will be decorated in colonial style and a reception will be held here just before the dancing begins which will last until midnight. Music will be by a four piece University orchestra."
200 Compresses Made First Week By Women
Red Cross Sends Urgent Call for Large Supply of Surgical Dressings
Two hundred compresses were made Thursday and Friday by the women enrolled in the surgical dressings work. This week, Room 205, Fraser, will be open from 3 until 6 o'clock Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Only a small percentage of the University women have registered so far for the work.
Women who do not have long-sleeved white aprons may start the work with short-sleeved aprons and paper cuffs. The enrollment probably will be larger this week after students have a chance to fit the surgical dressings work into their schedule the work committee believes. An urgent call for surgical dressings has been sent out by the National Red Cross.
Women Volunteer for Child Welfare World
Under the supervision of Mrs. J. R. Beckel, president of the Confederation of Clubs, ten women of the University have volunteered to assist in the Child Welfare Movement. The women will make a house to house canvass of all homes where there are children under five years of age in order to give the parents valuable information in regard to their children which they have obtained as the result of careful experiments and statistics. The object of the League is to try and cut the child death-rate one hundred thousand the coming year.

Governing Power of Universe Still Governed by Force, Says Topeka Man
As Well Quote Decalog To Mad Bull As Argue With Germany—Kulp
"Id just as soon read the Ten Commandments to a mad bull as to try argue with Germany in the state it is in now," declared the Rev. J. E. Kulp, of the First Methodist Church of Topeka, in addressing the University concession Friday. And when I face a bull I want to refuse, I will force the principle of which are founded on force. And yet," continued Doctor Kulp, "out of Christianity comes the principle essential to democracy."
Doctor Kulp made the initial speech of the local campaign to interest every student in Bible study. Chancellor Frank Strong, presided and Hugo Wedell announced plans for carrying on the campaign. A meeting of the group leaders was held after the speech.
"We are at war. Our first business is to win," said Doctor Kulp, whose personality strengthened the force of ideas probably more rugged than many students expected to hear at this concession. "If Germany is to be left with this loot which she is storing up, the world will look to aristocracy and the militaristic as the most efficient.
"The philosophical anarchist—not the anarchist that is usually conceived, but the man who believes that a point of difference may be settled by argument and persuasion—gets his angels' sang of peace on earth to men of good will, but this does not apply to men of ill will."
Mr. Kulp praised highly the res-
sults of college men and women in
America at the Ivy League.
"I do not like to make a separate class of the college people, but it has given me confidence that they have met the supreme test, and have made the great sacrifice," he said.

May Use School of Engineering To Train Men For War Service
War Official Coming This Week To Examine Facilities
Here
The United States War Educational Committee in Washington notified Chancellor Frank Strong this morning by telegram that Mr. J. C. Wright a representative of the Federal Board of the War Department, accompanied by a military officer, will visit the University one day this week to look at the department's programs for educating and training mechanical men in the second draft.
Prof. G. C. Shaad of the Engineering School recently made a special trip to Washington to offer the equipment of the University for the work training certain men of mechanical experience who are in the second draft.
The War Department has appointed a committee which has been examining the questionnaires of those men of military age which were sent in on December 15th and has selected for a reserve list those who have been engaged in, or have been trained in mechanical lines which will be useful for work of the government during the war. There are many schools in various parts of the United States from May 1 to October 1.
The Engineering School has equipment enough to accommodate several hundred men for this training and it hopes to meet with the approval of the representatives who will be sent to examine it.
Seniors Want Their Dinner a la Hoover
Action to petition the University Senate that they rescind the cancellation of the Senior-Alumni dinner this year, was taken at a Senior class meeting held late Friday afternoon. It was decided not to ask for an extension of commencement until Tuesday, but to concentrate the energies of the class in making Saturday, Sunday and Monday fill every requirement of the customary commencement of the University of Kansas.
Caps and gowns will be worn by the class of '18, since they are considered more economical than the buying of special clothes for the occasion.
Humphrey-White
"Abolishment of the senior-alumni dinner is not necessarily a patriotic measure," said one senior. With the regular annual alumni meeting held during commencement week, giving a Hooverdinner dinner will not induce many alumni who were not already planning to attend the meeting to overburden transportation. Another senior said, "Alumni will be expected to pay for their meal as usual. The state legislature has voted to utilize a part of the graduate's diploma fee of $5 to pay for this dinner. If it is patriotic to ask the senior to pay $5 for his diploma this year, then what will be done with the price of the fee over and above the cost of producing the diploma. It is not that I want the food; it is the K. U. spirit airured by these annual functions that I do not want K. U. to lose."

ABILITY DUE TO OREAD BREEZES
Plain Tales From The Hill
ABILITY DUE TO OREAD BREESD According to the Ft. Worth Record Lieut. Sam Pickard's training among the co-eeds on the wind-blown heights of Mount Orwell is standing him in good stead. When attending a formal "Mary's Ankel" at Ft. Worth, where he is stationed in the Aviation Service, Sam's ability to appreciate certain parts of the comedy manifested itself in such a show of merriment that it was mentioned by the dramatic critic of the Record. All of which goes to show that there are some things worth while at college that aren't learned from books.
The local jokesmiths who have been pulling the cheap wit about the "deadly" weapons used by the K. U. military companies may not be so far off after all. Last night in doing about face a rookie in the front rank was struck on the head by the musket of the man behind him. The injured private was so daunted and the rest of the company laughed so hard that the captain was forced to allow the company to stand at rest for nearly five minutes.
The Robins Come
Twas the first robin of spring, thought the hill climbing student. He looked up in the tree tops for the chiping birds. It was clearly a call of the robin to his mate. But no. The fraternity man was standing in front of his house whistling to the girl across the street. Truly spring has come.
It is rumored that one of the most popular professors of Geology was recently successful in obtaining a very rare specimen in form of a dainty pink bed room slipper. This is his treasured possession now. Of course among his personal collection of fossils he has different kinds of scented handkerchiefs, gloves and other articles of feminine vanity but never before did he have the chance of securing the bed room slipper of a real live actress. He says that he, too, was very much surprised and delighted and that he had no "idear" that he would ever be so fortunate.
The Goat Was Out
Whose initiation ceremonies cal. for multitudes of black dominoes and three or four of a most vivid crimson? It is not likely that they were suposed to have been exposed to the public eye, but they were, most effectively. Now, all that those students who traversed that particular street on that particular morning want to know is whose strong box yielded them up.

Senate Will Decide On Stand Concerning Council of Education
The government will give instruction to 75,000 drafted men needed for the ordinance department, signal and engineering corps during the coming summer, it has been announced at Washington.

Universities of America Are Trying for Representation on Wilson's Cabinet
Senate Assembles Tuesday
Council
Department of Education Would Grow Out of Emergency Council
As a member of the National Association of American Universities, the University of Kansas has been asked to vote on the proposition of establishing a department of education in the federal government with a secretary in the President's cabinet. A special meeting of the University Board had been held Tuesday afternoon, immediately after a meeting of the College Faculty on the same afternoon, to decide on the question.
Two matters will be brought before the Senate. First, the opinion of the University on the organization of an emergency council of education composed of representatives from the members of the American Association of Universities during the war. The second, already mentioned, concerns the creation of a department of education as part of the administration.
After the war, such a department as this could be created easily from the Emergency Educational Council when the details of the work would be well outlined. There will be a need of a new arrangement of our educational standards and institutions when the war is over. There have been many attempts to create a department of education in this country.
Dramatic Club To Give Full Program Of Plays
Milton's "Comus" May Be Given This Year Instead Of May Fete
A full program of plays is planned by the K. U. Dramatic Club for the next two months. After the Dramatic Club play next Wednesday night at the Bowersock Theater, the club will follow it up with two more of the one act Popular Plays series which the organization has introduced this year. The last two of these plays were presented last year and no packet the Little Theater in Green Hall. The small admission fee cleared $14 for the Red Cross. It is the plan of the club this year to give all net profits to this organization.
The latter part of March, the Dramatic Club will present "Eliza Come to Stay," probably in Robinson Gymnasium to raise money to push the campaign for the Permanent Income Bill to be voted upon in the 1919 election. The County Club Union which is pushing the county has asked the club to present the play so that the campaign might be carried on stronuously.
Sometimes in April, the seniors will present their $50 prize play which is being contested for now. The winner will be announced in about two weeks. Four University students have written manuscripts for the play. The winner of the last two of the prize plays was Alton Gumbiner.
To end this series of Dramatic productions the K. U. Dramatic Club will give Milton's "Comus," in May on the University golf links. This probably will take the place of the May Fete which was abandoned this year by the Women's Student Government Association.
Glen Sherman Dies in K. C.
Word has just been received of the death of Glen Sherman, '198, at his home in Kansas City. Mr. Sherman was a member of the University football team while in school. Until last fall he was connected with the Metcalf, Brady and Sherman law firm when he was made a member of the local draft board No. 10. The burial will take place at Seneca which was Mr. Sherman's former home.
Practically every school in the western conference, better known as the "Big Nine," is planning to put a baseball team in the field this spring. Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio State, Iowa and probably Purdue will be represented on the diamond. Notre Dame is another big western school where baseball will not be suspended because of the war.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the life of a university of Kansan; further than merely printing the news, it tries to make sure that its veracity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charming; to be kind; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1918.
CHRISTIANITY IN THE WAR
The campaign to get all University students into the nation-wide movement of enrolling college students in bible classes has started on the campus. Before the convoction Friday, many organizations at the University had already started their Bible study classes. But why should the students take an interest in the movement?
World leaders claim that there must be Christianity in the world before there can be the Democracy for which we are fighting in the present world struggle. It is hoped that the doctrines taught in these classes will make clearer the issues for which we are fighting, as well as applying their teachings to the social problems that face the world.
It is the desire of the men behind the movement now to get the college men and women, and faculty to start discussing the principles of Christianity and find out if they have any application to the world Democracy. College men and women should know what Christianity is if they are to take part in the big program of reconstruction in Europe and in this country. They will not be fitted for this work if they have no conception of the meaning of Christianity.
Is Kansas to be a leader in this work or only among the colleges who also supported the movement? The next few days, should tell.
We notice that Kansas jackrabbits are feeling sad when they think of how their fond relatives are disappearing as chicken croquettes. One consolation, Kansas law forbids snake eating exhibitions.
UNIVERSALITY OF TRACK
Kansas goes into the Kansas Aggie track meet tonight an uncertain quantity dependent almost entirely on material untried in Varsity track experience. Few students realize that it is an enormous task to build up from a new and small squad with a basis of only two veterans, a team of sixteen or twenty men. For this reason if the Jayhawker team does not show the proper strength at Manhattan in this first meeting, it will be because few men have come out for the team.
All Missouri Valley schools will be weakened by the loss of their athletes going into the military service the same as Kansas has been. It will depend on the support these schools get from their new men what sort of a showing they will make this year. When the loyal Jayhawker calls to memory the many defeats at the hands of Missouri which were lost because Kansas did not have four athletes to beat the Tiger in the final and deciding event, the relay, he knows that something is lacking in the support given, that track team.
At Missouri a drive is started in December to get men out for the relay team. The call is answered by fifteen to twenty runners. Competition is intense. The result of such active interest is a Missouri victory.
College athletics in its best sens at the University of Kansas does no mean the exclusive training of a few men who are specialists in sport and nothing else. The aim is not to pit chosen gladiators against chosen gladiators with a Rock-Chalk, Jay-Hawk for victory. Especially is this untrue of track, for track is near the ideal.
Essentially track is everybody's athletics. Many may come and many can be chosen. The element of victory is incidental; the fundamental principle is universal participation. The victory is personal, and its reward is lasting in physical strength and consequent mental alertness. A man who is unresponsive this year might be called an unpleasant name if he is indifferent and lazy. Underclassmen have unusual opportunities because of the scarcity of upperclassmen. The concrete opportunities are in the K. C. A. C. and Missouri-Kansas meet. The men who will persist in twiddling his thumbs and growing soft, fills an unenviable though easy chair in the spring of 1918.

A REAL BAND
"You have a real band here."
The easterner had been listening to the University of Kansas band playing at a basketball game. It was the closing game of a rather disastrous home season. A small crowd was out to watch what appeared to be an easy victory for Kansas. The music of J. C. McCanies' band broke the silence with "Crimson and the Blue." Then "Boola, Boola," started the second half.
The result was eight points scored in less than three minutes. The band was surely doing its share to make the season successful.
But that music was not learned in a day or a week or a month. Many practices every week from two to three hours in length with a capable leader devoting all of his energies to the advancement of the musicians made the finished product heard in public, a thing of admiration.
And these men in the band who want to keep up their musical work after they leave the University, find many open for them. Today, here are many old University bandmen playing in the navy and army pands while they are serving their country. Such an institution is worthwhile at any rate.

Harvard's Bureau of Vocational Guidance has just completed an important investigation for the Federal Government. The results are published in a book giving essential data on the training required by men in the shipbuilding trades
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Vassar is now added to the list of women's colleges which will send a reconstructed unit to France. A Smith unit is already abroad and Wellesley's will probably be there sometime in the spring.
More than 550 women undergraduates have registered for volunteer war work at Cornell. Courses for women are conducted in surgical dressing, and comfort kit making, in knitting, garment making and dietetics, and allied subjects. A campaign to enroll every woman in the university in some war work is now nearing completion.
The graduate councils of Smith, Simmons and Mount Holyoke will hold their annual meeting next week.
The Harvard summer engineering camp at Squam Lake, N. H., has been abandoned again on account of the war. This decision is announced by the university school of engineering and mining after attempts had been made to draw up plans by which the campus could be maintained, and after thirty students had petitioned to enroll in the summer work.
The total enrollment of the University of Wisconsin is 4,064, or 956 less than last fall. The number of women students has increased from 1690 to 1757, and the number of men has decreased from 3330 to 2307.
A signal corps has been organized at the University of Rochester, and practical work begun.
More than a hundred scientific schools and colleges have volunteered to offer courses to train drafted men for special service in the army.
Arrangements have been made with the state adjutant general's department, by Colonel John Leader, for the University of Oregon battalion to use the equipment of the Eugene armory.
Vasco da Gama was a bull fighter Copernicus was the wife of Julius Caesar, Kipling wrote the Three Musketeers, Prussian Blue is a dye and Russian Yellow is the Baskeli sveki. This revised history was gleaned from a class of seniors and graduate students, who were given a survey of French culture of Kansas the other day in an advanced class in chemistry. The only member of the class to make "excellent" in the quiz was a mere youth.
Graduates In Dark Concerning Odyssey
"This quiz hasn't much to do with chemistry and is entirely irregular," the instructor announced, "but I'm going to test your general knowledge. You came here this morning expectant to learn about it, first lesson and then be dismissed. Instead I'm going to begin this semester's work with a quiz."
What is sublimation, corrosive sublimate, sublimed white lead and the sublime porte? was asked in the quiz.
The entire class missed the "sul lime port" part of the question, but practically all answered the remain der.

What is the Odyssey?
"Odyssey is a popular Latin novel
lived Homer." one man answered.
"Who was Mohammed and when did he live?"
"Mohammed was an Arab who had visions in a cave."
So much for the assimilation of information dispensed at the University.

Y.W.C.A.Is Starting Attendance Campaign
Lessening Interest Among Women To Be Checked By Personal Workers
To reach each woman in the University of Kansas with a personal invitation to attend the weekly Young Women's Christian Association meetings is the intention of a campaign launched Thursday at a meeting of the publicity committee of the Y. M. C. A. After the campaign it will be impossible to say that a University woman has not been invited to attend the Y. W.'s meetings, the committee plans.
At least ten women students will be seen personally by each member on the public and religious meetings committees. These committees will endoerach to reach all women note in the freshman class. The first year women will be reached through the Big Sister committee.
Attendance at the regular meeting, decreased last semester from an aver age of more than 200 to less than 100 Miss Katherine Duffield, general secretary and Mary Nicholson, chairman of the religious meetings committees, attribute the decrease to changes in the curriculum since the adoption of new physical exercise requirements and the time now spent in war work.
Each committee will take up the campaign separately after the apportionment of names. It is hoped that two weeks will suffice to complete the canvas.

Women In Hiking Class
Must Wear Low Heels
Doctor Sherbon Rules That French High Heels Can Not Be Worn
"All students enrolled in hiking," says Dr. Florence Brown, Sherbon, head of the department of physical education for women, "must wear lowheel, broad-toed shoes. Many women go to their hiking in high French heel shoes. Consequently they are unable to keep up with the rest of the square and suffer with their feet.
Beginning with the second semester every woman taking swimming, out of door sports or hiking is required to take a shower bath at the close of the exercise. Towel tickets may be obtained for twenty-five cents, entitling the holder to ten towels.
One of the duties of the squad leaders is to examine the kind of shoes each woman in her squad is wearing. The leaders are instructed not to allow any one to go in their squads who report in unsuitable shoes.
CARTER'S
"If the women only realized the actual harm high heels do, I'm sure that they would accept the low heeled sensible shoe immediately," continued Doctor Sherbon. "It is absolutely impossible to hike in high heels, because the whole body is thrown out of line, and the weight of the body is thrown on the back of foot. Heard the many complaints of fallen and broken arches."
All those enrolled in hiking are urged to find out their squad leader and the squad in which they are enrolled. The list is posted on the bulletin board at the gymnasium. They are urged to report to the correct squad and thus avoid further confusion.

Freshmen Women Play Rings Around Sextet Of Juniors, 25 to 4
Fast Offensive Of Younger Players Dazes Upperclassman Team
Final Class Contest Is Set
Expected Game With Haskell Women's Sextet Is Postponed
The freshmen women's basketball team defeated the junior sextet in the battle for third place in the interclass race Saturday morning by a 25-4 score. The freshmen displayed the best brand of basketball they have shown this year and the upperclass team had none to play. In play, when the juniors scored their only field goal of the contest and tie the score at 2-2.
The junior guards were unable to keep the little freshmen forwards, Helen Barnett and Margaret Wasson, from scoring almost at will in the first half and as a result the score at the end of the period stood 12-2, with the yearling sextet on the long end.
Helen Olson, freshman jumping center, was a big factor in helping her team to hold its big lead in the last half. She scored three field goals in this period, besides getting the tip-off most of the time. The Barnett-Wasson-Olson combination as it was working Saturday presents one of the best scoring machines among the inter-class teams and the fast offensive of this first round. Her next dared by its brilliant work. M. Smith, running senior of the freshmen, broke into the scoring column in the last half with a field goal and completed the yearling score. M. Brown, J. Parkinson, and M. Castle played well for the juniors.
The game between the seniors and the Haskell women's sextet, which was to have been played Saturday morning was postponed because the Haskell team was not given permission to leave the Indian school in time for the contest. The game will play on Monday afternoon in the near future, according to Hazel Pratt, of the department of Physical Education.
The final inter-class contest for the women's championship of the University will be played Thursday evening at 7:15 o'clock between the seniors and sophomores. The seniors have not lost a game this year, while the second-year team has been defeated only in the first contest of the year with seniors. The sophomores have improved wonderfully since that date, and they are now one of women's games expect the game Thursday evening to be a battle royal, with the second year sextet having a good chance to win.

Student Suggests
Salamander Seal
Sugcricating a salamander as the official emblem for the national food conservation organization, the University of Kansas animal house is inviting the attention of Mr. Hoover to twenty-five reptiles of that species which have lived and thrived the last four months on nothing more nor less than the more or less pure city water. The salamanders are full grown and can survive in thin bamboo-containing three inches of water. So far as the care taker has been able to determine they have refused all food, except water.

A dozen or so land salamanders at the animal house also are emulating their wetter brethren in a way that would tickle the food administrator. They disappeared one night.

"We're going to advise Mr. Hoover," said a zoology student, "to put the salamander on his official coat of arms if he has one.

Kansas and Nebraska Break Even In Games At Lincoln Last Week
Kansas lost her last chance to cop the Missouri Valley basketball title last Friday at Lincolne, when she dropped the first game of a two-game series to the Nebraska Cornburshers by a score of 24-23. Although the Jayhawkers came back Saturday and gave the Huskers a beating, 31-25, the defeat was enough to put the Crimson and Blue quintet out of the running and leave the field open to the Tigers and the Kansas Aggies.

The first game at Lincoln was more of a wrestling match than anything else. The contest was marred by frequent fouls by Nebraska and rugged work, particularly on the part of the Kansas five. The Jayhawkers simply could not hit the basket. With only a field goal needed to win the game, the winning punch was lacking and K. U. was forced to take the small end of the count. Captin Dutch Ulhrlaub, who is usually able to toss about three free throws in every four tries at the basket, was away off and registered only three free throws in fifteen attempts.
Uhrlaub's free throwing which had been off in the first game, was one of
Nebraska started in whirwind fashion in the second contest and threatened to make it two straight, but the Jayhawkers began, to regain some of their lost form in the latter part of the first half and the count at the end of the period was 17-14 for Kansas. The K. U. quintet increased its lead in the second half and the game ended with Coach Hamilton's men six points to the good.

Yes, Louie, We Know The Checkmate's Great But What's the News?
The Checkmate Will Be Given At Bowersock Theatre Wednesday Night
German Spies To Be There!
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 19, 1918.
Best Talent of University Will Appear In Production— To Aid Red Cross
Can't the Kansan give us a story, about The Checkmate? It's going to be tomorrow night and we want a big crowd to come, 'cause we want to go to the Red Cross" and Louis Hull of the Dramatic Club was with us again.
"But, Louie, what is there to say?
"But you any news? Any new features?"
"Why we have the best looking scenery ever seen, direct from—"
"Oh, yes, but we've said that five or six times already. Tell us something that will be news."
"Well, the music will be furnished by the University Orchestra with Prof.
"Yes, yes, but we've written that three times. How about the characters?"
"Oh, boy. Why there's Craig Kennedy and Helen Clark. They are the two best actors the University of Kansas has seen in many a year. Craig has stock company experience and—"
"That's all right, too. Mr. Hull. But that is only interesting to you folks in the play. What the Kansan wants is news. Any of your characters have parts to play that no one else in the University could play as well?"
"For the love of Mike, yes. There's the four folks who are taking the parts of the Germans, Robert Robertson, Susan McDonald, Burney Miller and Florence Butler. Why, buy, find me four better actors. They would make just as good Indians as they do Germans. And the wireless—"
"Oh, I know something new—the plot features German spies and intrigue and is mighty serious and—"
"Sure pop, we know, and have known for two weeks that a real wireless is going to flash out its signals and that it will be real code, too. Tell me on Hall. I gotta go to class. Tell me some new wrinkle of your show."
"Gosh, Hull, we used that in the first story about your play. One more chance."
“Well, you might say—and Hull began blushing in his unassuming way, “that the play is a $50 royalty play and that the cast has been working its beastly head and feet off for two months now and that Harold Lytle and Lucille Hovey are great in their character parts and that Marie Buccanam and Helen Bender can't be heat as actresses and—”
"Uh huh, that's o. k., but who's managing the play and doing all this mean work such as shifting scenery and cussing stage hands and working the wireless and seeing that tickets are distributed and having the bills posted and taking the blame for everything and missing dinners for little play affairs and attending to the financing of the play and—now, you get me, don't you, as to what I want?"
"Oh, that's just me."
Enrollment Falls Off
In Ancient Languages
Classes in the department of ancient language have fallen off in enrollment decidedly since last semester, especially the classes in Greek History and in sculpture and painting. The history class of last semester had twenty-sight students while the class this semester has only about twelve. In sculpture the decrease is insignificant, as sculpture rollment was forty, while this semester there are only fourteen in the class.
The instructor accounted for this, by the fact that most of the members of the painting and sculpture class are largely women. This semester women are taking work which deals more directly with war service.
Prof. A. J. Boynton will talk on the "Economic Position of Women in the War, their Opportunities and responsibilities," at the Women's Forum at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Room 110 Fraser Hall.
Kaiser And Garbage Can To Meet Fate In Plays
"Canning" the Kaiser and the gar bage can the same evening and in the same place will, according to Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, furnish a somewhat "killing" time for students who attend the Colonial Party to be given Saturday evening in Robinson Gymnasium.
In the two plays to be given during the first part of the evening, the Kai ser will be done away with in the play, "Efficiency" and the garbage can will be abolished in the conservation playlet, "Kanning King Kan." Mrs. Brown says the rehearsing for this play is very stressful and she promises some very thrilling moments in the trench scene which is to be staged.

Respond to Government Question naires—Prefer Clerical and Civil Service Jobs
Senior Women Prepare For Different Phases Of War Work Next Year
Senior women have responded readily to the questionnaires that were sent out by the government. Many women are preparing to teach, and did not register in the "selective draft."
Considering that several women signed up for different things the results are good. Twenty-seven have declared preference for civil service work; twenty-seven for secretarial work; fifteen for eletrical work; seven for entomological work; twoefor nursing; fifteen for food_conservation; twenty-two for Red Cross and three for translation.
In answer to the question concerning what courses they would like in preparation for their work thirty-three desired typewriting and stenography; fourteen wanted conversation; one wanted wireless and five desired a course in war relief. Nearly all courses offered at the University since courses meeting these requirements are being offered for women this semester.
Miss Margaret Lynn, chairman of women's war work in the University said this morning she was disappointed in the way the women are coming out for the surgical dressing work. As spring comes on there will be greater need for these supplies. We are hoping this week, as this work, and the room will be opened Wednesday if enough women support the project.
A.C.A. Suggests Professions
Nursing Is Recommended A Vocation For College Women
In view of the fact that 125 of 140 women, in answer to a questionnaire recently issued, expressed a desire for assistance in choosing their vocations, the committee on vocational guidance of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, has been collecting information on professions other than teaching, that will be open to college women.
Nursing, is one vocation highly recommended for college women. Doctors and nurses sanction the entrance of college women into this profession. Many of the more important nurses have been during a period of hospital training for such women by six, eight or nine months, and many by a year.
Social or public-service nursing and nurse-training are two branches of the work that should appeal to college women. Public-service nursing has already had some prominence. The work is largely that of visiting nurse and is interesting to those concerned with sociological reforms. Its advantage over private nursing is that the work takes only eight or nine hours.
Nurse-teaching offers perhaps the most attractive field for college women. In this, one takes only part of the regular training course required of nurses. With this experience, she is an adequate instructor to the pupil-nurses. Hospitals feel a growing demand for work of this nature, done hitherto by inordinately busy supervisors and doctors. Preparations for this work should be begun early in the college course.
Detailed information either in regard to the opportunities open to college women or in regard to subjects which it is advisable to take in preparation for the work, may be secured from the committee in charge of the department; and in the department of English; Miss Walling of the department of physiology, and Mrs. T. T. Smith of the department of home economics.
Major Clark Guards Germans Major Adna G. Clark, 197, has been unofficially informed that he is soon to go as lieutenant colonel to Galveston, to have charge of the coast defense there, according to a letter from him. He is now in charge of the interned Germans at Ft. McPherson, Georgia. "I do not feel that I was cut out to be a jailer—even of Germans," he said, in a letter recently received by a friend in Lawrence.

Prof. Williams Made Supervisor In Building New Explosive Plant
Goes East Immediately To Begin Work on 45 Million Dollar Construction
Prof. C. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering, will have charge of the erection of a plant for the manufacture of explosives at Charleston, West Virginia, that is to cost forty-five million dollars. He received word yesterday from the war department that he is to supervise the work as supervising engineer in the federal Army and preparing materials from the School of Engineering at the University to be called into service of this country.
Professor Williams expects to leave the University this week and has been granted a leave of absence for the remainder of the semester. This plant at Charleston is one of a number of plants he planted this country. He was appointed recently head of the Men's War Work at the University.
German Teachers Study
To Teach Other Tongues
Shift In Language Instructors Caused By Teuton Unpopularity—A. L. Owen
A discussion of the problem of obtaining teachers for modern languages in high schools, written by Arthur L. Owen, of the department of Romance Languages, appears in the Kansas Teacher.
"This is not the place to discuss the window of the withdrawal of courses in German, which has taken place in the schools of this country. Scholars, more than any other class of persons, know that a fact, a fact that the value of a reading knowledge of German to the scientific student is as great as it ever was."
"Granting that a large number of high schools and junior high schools are introducing French and Spanish into their curricula, where can adequately prepared teachers be found? Last summer I taught two courses in Spanish at one of our larger universities. Both classes were unusually large for that institution, and the average age of their members unusually mature. It developed that a considerable number were German teachers preparing to 'change over' as they put it, into Spanish. More industrious classes, no teacher could possibly have desired. Yet the results were unequal. Those who made real progress were almost without exception the younger members of the class. One older woman, whose English testified to her competence in another language, lagged so hopelessly behind the rest that, to spare her the daily humiliation, which was painful to all of us, I suggested that she withdraw from the course.
"I can't withdraw," she said, am to teach Spanish next year. "But you can't possibly teach Spanish." I replied.
"It isn't a question of can or can't."
I have to. My school has abolished German and the only way I could hold my position was to agree to teach Spanish. I have signed a contract.'
Manhattan With $8,000 Paid Claims First Place In Kansas
Students Fail To Pay K. U. War Fund Pledges
Only $6,082.61 has been turned into the Student Friendship War fund, said George O. Foster today. The total amount subscribed by the University of Kansas is more than $12,000. Mr. Foster urged that all subscriptions be paid immediately so that Kansas may be given her proper place among the other colleges of the United States.
New War Texts Are Put On Shelves At Sponer
The January issue of the North American Student says that the Kansas State Agricultural College has given more than any other college in Kansas to the Friendship War Fund, for the support of Y. M. C. A. camps during the war, and asserts that it holds twelfth place among all the colleges in the United States in its donations. The Agricultural College has paid in $8,000 to the Student Friendship War Fund.
Several new war books have been received at Spooner Library. The story of the battle of the Somme is given in Ian Hay's "Carry On," a book dedicated to all second leutenants. Other war books are "The Shaves of the War Zone" by W. F. Bailey, and "The German Fury in Belgium" by L. Mokveld, war correspondent, in which Mokveld relates his experiences with the German army in Belgium.
Among the technical books are, "Private's Manual," "Non-commissioned Officers," and "Officer's Manual," by Major James Moss of the United States army. "Military To-Force" and "Fort Leavenworth is a book dealing with map reading, surveying, and sketching.

ECHO ANSWERS, "AIN'T IT?"

Ain't it a gr-rand and goy-ly sees you
The old fashioned professor who used to rave about his students wasting their time at picture shows has disappeared. In his place has come the professor who is a more or less movie enthusiast himself. For instance, yesterday a professor was calling the class roll, "Lockwood, Harold," said the prof; then looking a second time with a show of interest, "Ah, er-ow, not Harold; Howard, Pardon me."
It is rumored that the prof's face became quite red.
Both the officers and privates of the University military companies drilling at four o'clock may be young and inexperienced, but nearly every evening they have the honor of being reviewed by at least one battle scarred veteran. Pi, the noted character, and more or less disreputable bull dog, is usually stationed on the parade ground when the companies drill and follows them around, sometimes silently, and majestically, sometimes gaily, voicing his approval. Often the young would-be soldiers laugh over the many marks of battle on the old dog's head. Then Pi barks as if to say, "He laughs at scars, who never felt a wound."
WHO CAN?
Prof. of Economics: If the supply of diamonds were increased to the extent that prices would be dropped, women would more engageations? Woman student.
Professor: Don't you think that many young fellows who could not now afford to buy a diamond at two or three hundred dollars would buy if the price were appreciably lowered and so become engaged?
Woman Student: That is all true but the number would be offset by those young women who now become engaged merely to get a diamond and who would not do so if they were hean.
Finance Committee May
Adopt Jayhawker Plan
The wooden Jayhawker plan proposed by Prof. L. N. Flint of the department of journalism to raise money for the war was considered at a meeting of the Finance Committee of the University War Council at ten o'clock today. The plan is to erect a large Jayhawker of wood into which nails can be driven for the fee of ten cents each. This is regarded as a pleasing variation from the usual tag campaign.
"The plan is a good one and will work in well a little later on, but I cannot say what action the committee will take upon it," said Prof. G. C. Shaad, chairman of the Finance Committee, who also planned to launch an extensive campaign in Baby Babies soon and will consider plans for it today."
Senate Will Consider Plan For Emergency Council of Education
U. S. Government May Establish Permanent Department Of Education
To Have Cabinet Secretary
Association Of Universities To Support Campaign For Secretary of Education
At a special meeting of the University Senate this afternoon the University will vote on the proposition of establishing an emergency war council of education and a permanent department of education of the United States Government with a secretary in the cabinet. Representatives of the National Association of American universities met in Washington recently and on the suggestion of the government an emergency war council of education was proposed.
Each university in the association has been asked to vote on this proposition and if they are found to favor the council, a meeting of representatives of each University will be called and a board of five members will be selected with permanent offices in Washington. The council will help the government solve the problems arising in the time of the war which effect the higher institutions of learning.
A bill for the establishment of national department of education is before Congress now and the association of American Universities is doing everything possible to get the universities behind the movement, in order to influence the members of Congress to favor it.
Choruses For Follies
Announced By Director
ous Ones
Plans To Make This Year's Performance Excel Previ-
Two choruses for the K. U, Follies, which will be given March 14, were announced today by Blanche Simons, director. The big chorus of twelve girls will include Charlotte Carney, Agatha Kinney, Genevieve Searles, Milred Payne, Rilla Hammett, Irene Cutter, Eda Raising, Imre Imus, Elaine Wharton, Myrtle Steen, Eleanor Clark, and Edna Sean.
Helen Thurston, Jessie Rankin, Dorothea Engel, Alberta Mack, Ramonna Kirkpatrick, Velma Walters, Eloise McNutt and Nell Miles will compose the Chinese chorus. The two choruses will put on six different songs. The steps for three numbers have already been learned.
Students who have been selected for other acts will be announced later by the director. In an effort to make the Follies this year "Better than usual," dances, comedy sketches, and instrumental numbers will be on the varied bill.
Practice for the dances are now being held three times a week. The different acts are to be trained separately, and there will only be one or two rehearsals of the entire cast.
Epidemic Of Measles
Spread Willfully—Haight
The epidemic of measles which has been going on in the University since the first of the term, is still going on and there are no signs of abatement, according to Miss Mary Haight of the University Hospital.
Miss Hight said "that there is no decrease in the cases is due to the fact that students with the measles are going around among other students, the same as usual. The practice of going out with the measles is not especially serious, but patients should remain indoors at least five days afterwards for there is danger to the eyes and the possibility of taking cold.
"The isolation hospital has been filled to its capacity with mescale cases most of the time for as soon as some of the patients leave others take their place. It is possible to isolate students in fraternity and sorority houses since the students are able to get food in the house but it is not usually possible in rooming houses. The only immunity from the disease seems to be unusually good health."

THE MOST VITAL WORK
Folding of gauzes seems such a little thing, yet it is essential to the dressing of wounds of the American soldiers and sailors who are injured in the world war. Thus far, some women of the University have not joined the classes in this most necessary Red Cross work now being done at the University of Kansas. Up to this time all of the output of the Red Cross workers who have been making compresses, sponges, and other dressing for wounds, has been sent to France and England.
But from now on there will be an ever increasing demand for such supplies on the American front. Every chapter in this country doing work for the Red Cross has been employed for several months making these most vital supplies. Now the call has come to Kansas women at the University to do their part in the work from 3 to 6 o'clock every afternoon except Wednesday. On this day the Food Conservation lectures are to be given.
What is to be the response? No credit of any sort is given to the woman except the credit that they are serving their country in one of the most timely and most needed ways. To the overworked University woman, this will mean a double sacrifice, but surely there are many University of Kansas women who can find this time by eliminating a picture show or a house dance, some day in the week.
THE DISTANT WAR
Perhaps the biggest thing the American people will have to do is to show that they are heart and soul in the war and are doing their utmost to help win it. In an important sense the greatest test that can come to a belligerent people has confronted the people of the United States. Their problem is to stay at home and bend their energies in support of a war three thousand miles from home. Nothing quite as tangible as a shell exploding in the front yard can arouse our war passion to activity.
Most of us started off winning the home front victories with great enthusiasm, but as the duties increase and the requests become more numerous, the danger is apparent that the words may soon fall harmlessly around us and cease to arouse activity.
This is what must be guarded against. There is no honor in fighting a losing fight, when it can be helped. We know our duty, even though we cannot see the battlefield. We know why we fight, even though airplanes are not dropping bombs on our streets, and our children are not wearing gas masks to school.
It is a fight to the end, even on the home front. To the student of the University of Kansas this means that
more interest is needed in military drill. It means considerably increased interest in food conservation and in all sorts of war work.
The war will be won, but victory will come in spite of, not because of, what many of us are contributing to it.
SOCIAL ACTIVITY FOR ALL Shortly after the arrival of Mrs. Eustace Brown at the University of Kansas, she conceived the idea of entertaining the students of the whole University twice a year by two big parties in Robinson Gymnasium. One she planned in honor of Hallowe'en to be given in October, and the other in honor of George Washington's birthday in February.
So that these parties should not be more dancing parties only for student who could dance, she planned several short entertainments before the dancing started. Games and cards at several entertainments furnished amusement for the students who did not dance. The idea was successful from the start.
This week Mrs. Brown is planning the annual All-University colonial under the management and supervision of University students to be given Saturday night. From the last entertainment, the University Halloween party there was an expense of $16.25 for the supplies and equipment necessary to put on the minstrel show. The rental of eight dress suits so that the students could put on the act as real minstrels, ate up $16, and twenty-five cents was expended on lamppack to black men's faces. The remaining of the expenses were as small.
And in a like manner will the party Saturday be given—a maximum amount of entertainment for every student at the University, with a limited expense to the University. The great crowds which go to these parties testify to their success. It is part of the democratic idea at a state institution to provide some entertainment for all, along with the steady grind of school work.

Red Cross News
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
The Military Entertainment Council is a special commission appointed by the Secretary of war. It has provided programs of entertainment for the men in camps. Ordinarily the cost of booking such attractions as they have planned would be prohibitive but operating expense has been reduced. Consequently the cost of these performances is from ten to twenty-five cents a seat. Yet many soldiers are unable to attend these shows even at this price. Thousands of soldiers are sending home all their pay.
And as a result the "Smileage Books" have been inaugurated. They will be made up of coupons similar to the mileage books of railroads. In books of one size twenty coupons will be sold for $1 and 100 coupons will be put in $5 books. These coupons will be good 'in' any camp theatre. It is thought that as the movement grows they will be good in other places of amusement.
Knitted articles—wristlets, socks and sweaters and helmets—(named in order of importance) are needed by the Red Cross. Helmets are urgently needed4.
You may furnish eyes for the navy. There is urgent and immediate need for binoculars, spy glasses and telescopes, as well as sextants and chronometers. Any one having one of these will do a great service to send it at once with name and address of the donor to Franklin D. Rosevelt, assistant-secretary of the Naval Observatory, Washington, D. C.
One hundred per cent Red Cross by the end of February" is the goal of Oklahoma. This means that every town and family in Oklahoma will have a Red Cross organization.
There has come a hurry call for 10,000 sweaters and wristlets.
CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will then not be used unless you give it to the editor who must know who is writing the communication as evidence of your efforts. Communications are welcome.
The University Senate evidently deems compulsory exercise more essential to the University than enrollment. Doesn't it seem that this imposition has been carried rather too far when one woman has been compelled to quit school because she was not able to stand this exercise?
As a result she withdrew from the University this semester. Perhaps she is not the only one who has been forced to give up her education on account of compulsory exercise work. Do you think the Senate will ever wake up to the defects and faults in the present system?
No excuses were accepted. Her claim for exemption was denied in the face of a statement from her family physician saying that due to physical weakness she should not take unnecessary exercise. More than this, this young woman started in to take gymnasium last year. Her mother advised him to avoid the advice of physicians she was excluded from gymnasium. This year the same advice and statement was issued by a physician.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Will some one please answer this? Why or how can anybody conceive the idea that this exercise is a patriotic movement? If patriotism caused as much hard feeling and opposition as this favorite decree of our Senate as, what would become of our country?

By the Way
This Is "Hell" Week
From the list of fraternity initiations scheduled for the latter part of this week, we judge that members of these organizations are having all the fun they need at home.
For several days it has been the rule for pledges to eat dessert from the vantage point of the floor under the dining table. Houses are being cleaned from roof to furnace room, and some ingenious freshmen plan to auction off the lost articles which they have found in their exploration. Men walk carefully and avoid collisions with the furniture lest they break the eggs which the upperclassmen have put in their pockets.

North College Plaster Was Mixed With Milk
Colonial Party of '17
When old North College is razed to the ground in the near future, there will be among the debris, some plastering which was mixed with milk, according to William Brown who lives just outside Lawrence on rural route 9 and who says he delivered milk to the builder.
Nearly one thousand Dartmouth men, undergraduates and alumni, are now in the military service of their country. Six of them have already given their lives for the allied cause. As is entirely natural, the class of 1917 is the best represented on the college's roll of honor. It has 142 members in active service.
Mr. Brown said a couple of gallons was supplied the builder each day. At that time Mr. Brown owned a large dairy about three-quarters of a mile south of the Hill.
The first three marshals of this year's senior class at Harvard are all athletes and are all in military service. A second election to choose other officers will be held by the class next month.
"I don't know just what he used it for, but he said he mixed the milk with a certain kind of cement so the plastering would have a whiter tinge," said Mr. Brown in speaking of his connection in the matter. "The man who was finishing the walls demanded milk which was not watered although he didn't care whether or not it was skimmed."
In complete harmony with the music of the times the Cornell seniors have agreed not to wear caps and gowns this year. The custom, it is felt, involves an expense which ought not to be undergone while the country is at war.

Humble of the School of Law, "Libel and Slander." The book was written last year by Professor Humble as his contribution to a legal series, Ruling Case Law. It is supplemented for class work with the study of law encyclopedias and reports on libel cases which have been taken into court.
An editor had a notice stuck up above his desk on which was printed: "Accuracy! Accuracy! Accuracy!" and this notice he always pointed out to the new renorters.

Coach Hamilton's Team Took Practically Everything But Distance Events
The Kansas team was made up of new men with the exception of Rice and Murphy and made a good showing in its initial meet. The Kansas sas relay team won the mile race with the veteran Murphy, Davison, Russell, and Shreve. K. U. prospects were not very bright before the meet and the Kansans are now looking forward to a successful track season as far as standing in the valley conference is concerned.
The University of Kansas track team won the first meet of the Missouri Valley conference season last night when they defeated the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan by the score of 56 to 29. The K. U. athletes ran away with practically everything but the distance events. Metz of the Aggies was high point man with firsts in the thirty yard high and low hurdles and second in the shot put making a total of 12 points.
Howard a new man on the team tied for the pole vault at 10 feet 9 inches and with a little more practice should make one of the best vaulters in the valley. Rice did not have to exert himself in the high jump, K. U. getting both places at 5 feet 6 inches.

Women Play Last Game Of Interclass Series
Seniors and Sophomores Will Not Meet Thursday Night to Decide Championship
The championship game of the third Annual Women's Basketball Tournament will be played Thursday night, February 21 at 7:15 in Robinson Gymnasium. The question of first place will be decided between the seniors and the sophomores. The game promises to be especially interesting because the sophomores are still undefeated. All other teams have not yet been beaten in the contest. Coach Pratt expects to have an out-of-town referee for the game.
The various class representatives are arranging some diversions between halves but their plans are to be a secret until the proper time. The loving cup which is to be given to the champion team has been ordered and it will be presented later in the spring when the letters and other prizes are given away.

Basketball Men Leave Tonight For Series With Missouri Foes
Tigers and Pikers Will Play Kansans Two Games
Each
Coach Hamilton will take his basketball team to Missouri tonight to tussle in a pair of games tomorrow and Thursday with Coach Meanwell's Tigers. The Jayhawkers are occupying third place in the Valley race now while the Tigers are firmly entrenched in the first position, with ten victories to their credit and not a defaut registered against them. Although the doe is pointing to Minnesotaani Kavanaugh, the Kansas fan fight hard and with any kind of luck, should make the Tigers fight for the championship.
After the Missouri battles, the Crimson and Blue five will move on to St. Louis, where a couple of return games will be played with the Washington University Pikers. These contests will undoubtedly be much harder fought than the Wash.-Oregon game, but the summ last week, and Kansas will have to extend herself to the limit to get the decision in both battles.
The Jayhawkers went through a stiff signal drill last night, and practiced goal shooting in anticipation of the coming games. The usual scrimmage with the freshmen was done away with, however. A new lineup was used in the signal workout, with Bunn and Fearing at the forward positions, Captain Uhrlaub at center and Laslett and Knoles playing guards. Miller and Matthews were on the floor but were not in uniform.

Songs Needed To Add Enthusiasm To Drill
Oregon University students have adopted "rough neck" songs to lighten their drill work. Colonel Leader, commandant of the battalion believes that a knowledge of these songs is necessary to the success of drill work.
When asked what he thought about adopting the plan for drill at Kansas University, J. C. McCanles, band director, said he thought the use of such songs as the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" or "Marching Through Georgia" would be a help. "I do not believe "rough neck" is the term to
apply to such songs," he added. "In fact I would not be in favor of "rough neck" songs, if by that term, rag-time is meant. It is well known that Americans are great on rag time. But as soon as our soldiers get to France, they drop that sort of music and use the French songs in which there is real inspiration. I am heartily in favor of using good, inspiring music at drill. We need something to stir things up here."

Faculty Revises Rule For Granting Degrees To University Seniors
Three-Fourths of Grades Must Be A, B, or C For Diploma After 1919
NUMBER 93
24 Students Complete Work
Sheepskins Will Be Awarded At Once an 1 Names Added To Lists Next June
Revision of rules for grading students' work at the University of Kansas, and the adoption of the recommendation of Acting Dean D. L. Patterson that degrees of Bachelor of Arts be conferred upon a class of twenty-four students, were items of business at the meeting of the college faculty Tuesday night.
The revision of the rules included a re-statement of rule No. 47, substituting the grades A, B, C, D, I, and F, for the former numbering system, and also the revision of rule No. 52, concerning the proportion of high grades required for graduation.
Under the revised rules, seniors will be required to make A, B, or C, in three-fourths of their work before they shall be eligible to receive a degree. Under the old rule seniors were required to make I or II in twothirds of their work. Provision is made in the revised rule for the gradual adoption of the new rule, and it will not be in full effect before September, 1919.
Following is the form of the revised
ule. No. 52;
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 20, 1918.
"In order to be accepted as a candidate for the Bachelor's degree, a student must have received a grade of A, B, C, I (one) or II in at least 90 of the 120 hours required for the A, B. degree, or of the number of hours required for the degree of A, B, or B. S. in Medicine; providing that students graduating before September 1, 1918 shall be required to have a grade of A, B, C, I (one) or II in 80 hours, and students graduating after September 1, 1918, and before September 1, 1919, shall be required to have a grade of A, B, C, I (one) or II in honors. Any student admitting a gained standing will be recruited as a candidate for a degree provided his credits offered for graduation conform to the foregoing regulations and provided that he receives A, B, C, I (one) or II on three-fourths of the work which he has done in residence at the University of Kansas."
Revised rule No. 47, adopts the letter instead of the number system of grading and provides for four instead of three, passing grades. The rule says:
"Grade A is to be reserved for work of marked excellence, indicating high honor. Grade B should represent very good work of much more than average quality. Grade C should indicate that the work has been of good average character, better than that which deserves merely to pass. Grade D should indicate that would enable the student to pursue without undue lack of material or of method the next dependent course.
$^{f}$A student who fails to appear for final examination is graded I of F according as his class standing has been of passing grade or below passing grade. A grade I may be removed by special examination, but unless properly removed before the beginning of the same semester of the following year it becomes a Failure and the student must re-enroll in the course."
The faculty of the College adopted the recommendation of the acting dean that degrees of Bachelor of Arts be conferred upon a class of 24 students who have completed the requirements. Some of these students had enrolled at mid-year some had taken summer school work and had thus hastened their graduation. Some have taken more than four years to complete the work, and some are already in the military service.
Those who will receive their diplomas at this time, and whose names will be included in the list of graduates at the annual commencement in June are:
Clara Mildred Abel, Ruth Lanore
Beverstock, Ela Grace Brixler, John
Alvin Blair, George Austin Brown,
Altea Marie Brownlee, Justice Neale
Carman, Hazel Ellene Carson, Rebeck
black Woodcooper, Maria Delibel,
Addie Gibson Hill, Gertrude Ellen
Hurley, Heleg Magill, Florence Susan

Timeliness To Mark Features Of Spring All-University Party
Hoover, The Kaiser, and Garbage Cans Will Have Part In Program
Timeliness of the program, expressed in the general theme of patriotism, will be the feature of the All-University Colonial party Saturday night.
The entertainment will range in patriotic appeal from the colonial costume dances to the present day business of national Hooverizing. German efficiency will be illustrated as turning on the person who created it. "Efficiency," the one-act given in Green Hall Theater last month and directed by the greenwich Theater in New York will be given again. Irwin S. Cobb, the humorist pronounced this the best one-act play that he has ever seen.

A meeting of the Blackfriars Club is called for Thursday at 7:30 in Room 213, Fraser Hall.
Juniors And Sophs Have Week To Get Pictures For Annual
Will Close Section Early March—Snapshot Contest Arousing Interest
Jumpers and sophomores who wish to put their pictures in the Jayhawker this year will be given another week in which to get their pictures taken, Don Davis, manager of the book announced today. Several days will have to be allowed after that for finishing the gloss prints and turning them in to the Jayhawker office but the sections cannot be held open for the acceptance of pictures more than a few days after March 1.
"The number of juniors and sophomores who have already submitted their pictures or made arrangements with a photographer for a sitting is larger than we expected," said Davis, "but we are anxious to give every student an opportunity to get his picture in the Jayhawker if he cares to, so have allowed a little more time for pictures to be taken.
"Engravers and printers are becoming more insistent in their demands every day however, and we are going to have to stop extending time limits for pictures."
Plans for the snapshot contest next week are coming nicely, according to Brick Chandler, who is in charge of that section of the book. Considerable interest is being shown and many have signified their intention to submit a snapshot or a collection of snapshots in an attempt to win the three-day competition to the win-a-box to receive these pictures will be placed on the campus next Monday morning and snapshots may be dropped in any day next week.
All contestants should put their name and address on a piece of paper in the envelope in which they enclose the pictures.
Chandler believes there are many good, interesting kodak pictures among the students of the University but urges all students who wish to compete to get their camera out some time this week or plan to take some pictures over the week-end. All good pictures submitted in this contest will be used in the big snapshot section in this year's annual and the promoters of the contest are hoping for a representative collection of views.
Ask Real Reduction Of Imported Weather
In extraordinary after-lunch session at the University Club this afternoon, the Sage, the Prophet, and the Economist, all of the faculty, agreed upon a composite resolution that Kansas was importing too much weather and really ought to manufacture some good stuff from her own plethoric natural resources of atmospheric space.
"It comes from Colorado mountains, or it comes from North Dakota—and it carries down my soul along with the mercury," said the Sage who has been so long in California that he admits his blood has gone thin.
"It was blowing through from the Gulf of Mexico with a sweet seventy above when I struck town,"—the Prophet was reminiscing—"and I wrote a spring gone. You see, I had just left twenty-five below in old Vermont."
"Left it nothing," growled the Economist. "You and your pome brought it here. What we need in Kansas is a protective tariff on weather. I'm sore on this free trade business. Now all the marginal utility of that warm spell is wiped out. We're in the hole on the deal. Got to make the weather right here in Kansas, that's what."
No Hiking Until After Feb. 25
"Amen," said the Sage.
"Even so," said the Prophet.
"There will be no more hiking until after February 25," was the official announcement made by Miss Bertha Mix of the Women's Physical Education Department today. By that time the new class rolls will be completed and the squad leaders appointed. There has been some trouble in arranging the rolls on account of the change in the schedule from five to four hours exercise a week.

Plain Tales From The Hill
Some freshmen girls decided to take in a show last night, but as there was no Mike or Pat or Tom or Bill to buy the tickets it fell to the lot of one soft voiced maiden to call a certain number- and reserve places for them.
"Could you save five places for me tonight?" she asked sweetly. "I'm Mary Brown."
“Well, I suppose we could,” replied a surprised and much astonished man. “This is Jackson’s barber shop you know.”
The dramatic club "tryouts" were being tried, and many of them discharged for lack of evidence. Here is an example.
Tryout—"What shall I do when the French maid throws her arms around me?"
Coach—"Why, man, do the most unnatural thing under those circumstances."
Tryout—"Well, what would that be?"
Freshmen are very credulous critters especially when a co-ed or two is (or are) involved. A fraternity on the Hill has been greatly troubled by having passers-by taking a short cut through the yard, to the destruction of the grass. One of the worst offenders has been a sorority next door. The other evening at frat meeting the brothers gently but firmly requested a frosh to do guard duty on the lawn, having as a means of enforcing his commands a prehistoric musket. But as soon as the sorority learned of the plan the sisters also stationed a pledge near the frat t sentinel. And it is the duty of the co-ed to keep the fresh engrossed in conversation while the sisters lightly trip across the cut-off. The plan is said to be working very well.
Yes, Sylvester, you're right. Long hair is still passe even though many students seemingly have not yet recognized the fact. Perhaps some of the lads with curly locks caressing the backs of their necks and straggling down over their ears are merely waiting for spring before having them shorn. Then, too, the motive for long hair may be patriciate. The wool supply is said to be short.
The life of the business manager of a theater may be more or less troubled but sometimes a little sunshine drifts through. For instance, the manager of a local theater received the following letter from a K. U. student: Dear Sir, Please send me two seventy-five cent seats for the Love of Mike.
Year Of Kansan Made West Point Candidate
Another student of the University of Kansas got national military recognition in yesterday's appointment of Millard P. Wear, c'19, editor-in-chief of the Kansan, to principal candidacy to West Point. He will take examinations for entrance March 18, and if he passes them, will enter early in June.
Wear's home is in Topeka and he is correspondent here for the Topeka Capital. He also covers the University for the Lawrence Journal World. For the last two years he has been active in the journalism department and in the news end of the daily paper, a member of the Kansan Board, sports editor, news editor, and finally editor-in-chief of the Kansan. He is a member of the Sigma Delta Chi honorary journalism fraternity.
Chancellor Frank Strong will speak before the Chanute Current Topics Club at Chanute Thursday night February 21 on "The World After the War." He is going there in response to a call from Prof. Walter Burr of the Kansas State Agriculture College who is chairman of the state speakers for the council of defense.
Chancellor to Chanute
Senate Says Women Must Attend Lectures On Food Conservation
Must Attend Saving Talks As Result of Government Request for Co-operation
Education Dept. To Cabinet
Members Hesitate To Pester Federal Authorities With Proposed Plan
The Senate believes its action, in this respect, justifiable because the women students were allowed one day each week free from exercise at a recent Senate meeting.
As the only means of providing time for lectures on food conservation to be given twice each week, at the request of the United States Food Administrator, the University Senate, yesterday, withdrew the privilege of women having one unexcused absences per year from all physical education and made it compulsory that the women students attend the lectures.
Chancellor Strong recently received a telegram from the Food Administration at Washington asked him if this University would co-operate with the government in teaching food conservation.
Desiring to conform with the request, that every woman in the University take up work in the saving of food, the Chancellor consulted the department of physical education and the department of home economics to see if any compromise on time might be arranged. He found after investigation that the nurses would have to be utilized in attending conservation lectures, and made this suggestion to the Senate.
The Senate also decided yesterday after some dissension to refer the question of its stand on the suggested federal Department of Education to the Chancellor's cabinet for investigation and report.
Some of the members of the Senate took the stand that this was no time to be "pestering" the government with something less important than winning the war. Others held, that in view of the fact that education and efficiency were such large factors in the world conflict the immediate creation of this department was imperative.
It was decided to permit the Chancellor's cabinet to report after an investigation, as to the facts about the emergency council of education in which the University has been asked to participate. The Senate will probably vote on this plan at its next meeting, which will be held March 15.
Miss Winifred Wygall
Will Tell of War Work
Director of Y. W. C. A. Hostess House at Funston Here Tuesday
Miss Wintifred Wygall, director of the Y. W. C. A. Hostess House at Camp Funston will tell of the war work of the association at the next meting of the Y. W. C. A. in Myers Hall, Tuesday, February 26. Miss Wygall will discuss association's work in Europe, also.
The United States government has turned over all work for women connected with the war to the Association. Twenty per cent of the Student Friendship Fund went to the Y. W. C.A. This money is used by the Y. W. to carry on work at army camps and cantonments, in towns where large numbers of women are employed in munitions factories and for all phases of the work in Europe.
Many University people are familiar with the hostess house at Funston. It provides a place for relatives and friends of soldiers to meet them and rest rooms for women. Telephone calls to any part of the cantonment can be sent from there. There is also a restaurant.

MORE THAN FOR KNOWLEDGE
The University is not merely a found of knowledge which is dispensed to resident students or through the medium of the Extension Division to a few non-resident students. The skill and time of the faculty are applied to all the people of the state, to the development of the natural resources of the state, and to playing first aid to the injured butcher, baker, candlestick-maker, plumber and physician.
Forty-two different kinds of state service are done by the University. Professional and scientific investigations and reports as well as advisory service are available to the people of the state for the asking. For example official post mortems are made for murder cases.
High schools over the states receive material from the University. Kansas editors bring in their perplexing problems.
The scope of the University's usefulness is state-wide, for everyone from sixteen to sixty. The state service covers a very comprehensive field.
Although the energies of the faculty have been turned toward war to such an extent during the last few months, this valuable service has not been allowed to slump. War work must be done, but over and above that it is necessary that we approach normality as nearly as possible. Good internal conditions in the nation are in themselves a war measure.
ATHLETICS FOR WOMEN
Four basketball teams representing the four classes at the University of Kansas will complete a series of five games Thursday night with a final battle between the champion senior team and the sophomores. This gives every indication that women are coming to take a more and more active part in athletics and sports at the University of Kansas and at other colleges in the United States.
The women on these teams this year had much to do that to some might have seemed of more importance than playing basketball, but they set aside a certain amount of time each day and faithfully worked to perfect real teams. Many of them did not get credit in gymnasium for their work but did this for the love of the game and because they wished to see interest increase in athletics at the University. And the efforts of the basketball coach here should not go unnoticed.
That their efforts were not wasted is shown by the final result of the series played. True the seniors outclassed the other teams but this organization had been building up for the last four years and had remained practically intact during this whole period. But the closeness of the race
is shown by the fact that it took the game last week to decide whether the freshmen or juniors were to hold down third place. The sophomores were not sure of second place until almost the close of the season.
When the nation is calling for the best physical condition of all of its people, the work of the women in establishing athletics on a firmer basis at the University will meet with much approval throughout the state. It shows that the University woman in Kansas is keeping in the best sort of condition.
I AM A WAR-SAVINGS STAMP
I am a bit of paper with some green on my face and some glue on my back.
I would fight for freedom in the spirit of Washington whose image I bear at heart.
I am worthless without you. Allied with you my power is dynamic.
Allied with you I can put uniforms on American warriors, shelter them, feed them, float them to France, help them wheel mightly cannot into place, feed their weapons with bullets and shells, urge their steel-clad tanks through the impregnable lines of the enemy, soar over his defenses, destroy his bridges and munition works, sink his navies, overthrow his tyrants. I will free him as I free you and myself.
I will seal the death warrant of automatic butchery of men.
I will seal a Magna Charta of the world's organized peace. I am the precursor of an international league to enforce justice.

Question: If all the students on the campus some morning were suddenly to be thrown violently to the ground, would there be any scientific proof available that the Hill had been shaken by an earthquake?
Answer: The seismograph in the basement of Blake Hall records all earth tremors. The instrument was set up in 1909, as a part of the University weather service. It rests on a specially built pier which comes up on the building's foundation. The instrument is so sensitive to all quakes that a wagon of coal passing the building may cause it to register. It is valued at about $400.

After having covered more than 2,000 miles on a trip of inspection, the senior civil engineers at the University of Oklahoma returned to the university the first of the week. The party was made up of Prof. R. C Terrell, R. V. James and George L. Dolph. They left Norman January 28 and were gone seven days, during which the phases of their visits were visited. The men were very enthusiastic about their trip "back east", and came back with their knowledge of electrical engineering greatly increased.
The first place which the party visited was the Santa Fe shops at Topeka, Kansas. Here the various plants, including those for the construction and repairing of locomotives and cars, were inspected, as was the different types of machinery used in the shops. Lawrence, the home of Kansas University, was visited that afternoon. The University hydroelectric plant, the testing laboratories and the large 13 span bridge located near Lawrence, were inspected there.
Dean Felgar, of the College of Engineering, is in receipt of a communication from the Navy department stating that all students who are regularly enrolled in a technical course with the understanding that they will can enlist in the Naval Reserve, not be called except in case of a crisis. Any student of the Engineering School, who is desirous of exemption until the completion of his course, can enlist in the regular navy with the practical assurance that he will be able to finish his course.

The authorities of the St. Louis and Washington Universities have offered the government a site for a national hospital for reconstructing the soldiers disabled in the war. They have directed a careful survey of the various facilities of the city and of the institutions available for this purpose and sent them to the national government. Acknowledgment of the offer was received by wire messages from Gregas, surgeon-general of the army, and Mr. Bagnato, who whether the survey submitted is satisfactory or not. The government plans to establish a hospital of this sort, with a capacity of a thousand disabled but convalescent soldiers, in or adjacent to the larger cities.
The loyal co-operation of the business of this country with the government was illustrated a few days ago when the Scully Steel & Iron Company conducted the sixty men of the Northwestern University School of Commerce Ordnance Course over its extensive plant at South Ashland Avenue. The man had been receiving instructions in stores and this work at the University, and through the courtesy of the Scully Company were enabled to see the operation of stores principles as illustrations of their classroom work.

Head Hunter As Christ Plays In Passion Play In South Sea Islands
Professor Gage Tells Cerck Francais of Origin of Celebrated Play
Object, To Convert Heathen
With Judais represented by a Fiji robber, Saint Peter by a murderer, and the part of Christ played by a head hunter, the Passion Play was produced in the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific, from the seventeenth century up to 1912. That was the subject of the talk given by Prof E. V. Gage before Cerule Francais yesterday afternoon.
Fiji Robber Back-slides, Loots Village and Escapes With Mary Magdalene
"In the seventeenth century," said Professor Gage, "The French established a penal colony for savages convicted of crime in their various colonial possessions. Almost immediately missionaries went from France to work among the criminals. They originated the idea of producing miniature plays intended to convert the heathen criminals." Thus the Passion Play was instituted in the Islands.
NATURE PROVIDED COSTUMES
The characters were the native criminals, and the costumes were criminally native. The head hunter who represented Christ was honored by having a costume like that of the highly respected missionaries. He were bald, and a long black coat and caricature umbrella. He never appeared without that umbrella which was the distinguishing badge of the brotherhood of early Christian missionaries.
Each year they gave the performance, until the Fiji robber who played Juske broke it up. One day in 1912, he obeyed that impulse. He back-slid.
The whole population of the island was sitting in natively naive enjoyment, with open mouths, and shining eyes, observing the play. Judas had finished his lines. He walked saddly off the stage announcing his intention to go and end it all. He was supposed to go and hang himself on a forest tree, and started off in the direction he watched him go, and then they turned back to the stage to see the rest of the action.
JUDAS DISAPPEARS WITH CASH
Suddenly Judas turned aside. He saw the town down in the valley and he saw the people at the play. The temptation was too much. He headed for the town. On the way he met Mary Magdalene. She, too, had been a robber before they took her to the penal colony. Joyously they hastened to the city. Rapucreously they looted it. Then, just before the play on the hill was over, they loaded the results of their raid upon a boat, and set sail. Presumably they lived happy ever after. At least they were never seen again in the Marquesas Islands and neither was the Passion Play again produced.
The war stopped the Passion Play in Oberammergau, and it may never be resumed again. Anton Lang, the Christus, who tried to live out the life of the Master, and was a humble carpenter, is now making coffins for those who have fallen in battle. The little town breathes war, not peace, and it is probable that it will never again be the same beautiful, peaceful place that lived for and in its great play.

Kansas Five Expects Victory Over Missouri At Columbia Tonight
Same Line-up As In Previous Series Here Probably Will Start Game
The Kansas basketball five will play Missouri tonight in the first game of the two-game series on the Columbia court. Although Missouri has the advantage of playing on her own court and of having won two games from the Jayhawks already this season, there is not a Kansas supporter who will concede the Tigers victories in both contests. If the K. U. quintet plays as it played against Washington, Missouri will find it hard to hold her own and followers of the Jayhawks believe the Crimson and Blue is due for an exhibition of real basketball tonight.
The Kansas line-up will probably be the same as that which has played all season, with Bunn and Miller or Fearing at the forward positions, Matthews at center and Captain Uhrlaub and Laslett playing the guards. The Jayhawkers are planning the use of an entirely new set of signals on the invasion of Missouri and a number of new plays will also be worked.
Missouri will undoubtedly present the same line-up which has been working so well against all the Valley teams. Ruby, one of the best forwards in the Valley, both on the floor and in goal shooting, and Shirker will take care of the forward positions; Captain Mule Campbell, who has starred in nearly every game the Tigers have played, will play center and Slusher and Wackher will perform at the guards.
SPORT BEAMS
After beating the Texas Aggies Friday night, 27-15, the University of Texas Longhorns took a tumble Saturday and lost to the Aggies by the correspondingly one-sided score of 21-12.
The Haskell Indians broke the long winning streak of Coach Schubinger's Ottawa University basketmakers Monday night when they downed the Ottawans by a 24-18 score. This is the first defeat Ottawa has suffered this year and it will not affect the team's standing in the state conference, as Haskell is not a member.
"Ames is going in strong for wrestling this year. The Iowa State Aggies wrestlers have already defeated Nebraska and now they are trying to arrange a meet with Indiana.
Lyons and Bushton high schools are fighting it out for the basketball championship of Rice County and the privilege of coming to Lawrence in March to participate in the big battle for the state title. Lyons has won seven games while Bushton has won eight, and each team has been defeated once.
Coach Schulte of Missouri probably got a line on the ability of the Kansas track team Monday night at Manhattan. The Tiger coach went to Camp Funston to visit some of his former track stars, but dropped in at Manhattan in time for the meet.
Typewriters Have Come For Commercial Course
Ten typewriterists plied by the east door of Fraser Hall have attracted the attention of many students. These typewriterists are to be used in the
commercial courses offered by the University this semester under Mrs. E. B. Stouffer in Room 305, Fraerer. Both typewriting and shorthand are offered. No University credit is given for the work. Twenty typewriters have been rented for this course by the University. The classes run from one o'clock to six in the afternoon, each student working two hours.
Mrs. Stouffer is a graduate of the University of Iowa and was secretary to President James of the University of Illinois for six years.
Boynton Gives First Address To K.U. Women
Economic Position, Responsibility, and Opportunity Will Be Lecture Theme
Prof. A. J. Boynton of the department of economics and commerce will address the members of the Woman's Forum at their regular meeting Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock in room 110 Fraser Hall. The subject of Professor Boynton's talk will be "Woman's Economic Position in the Opportunities in the Present World Crisis."
This is the first time that Professor Boyton has addressed the women of the University. As he has been making a thorough study of the situation from an economic standpoint he will be able to present the subject from a new and interesting point.
All University women are necessarily members of the Forum by their enrollment. Lucille Nowlin, chairman of the Forum urges each woman to take advantage of this membership and attend the Forum's weekly lectures.
"It is not intended that the university shall be a military school," is the statement made by Pres R. E. Vinson of the University of Texas, which settles the controversy as to whether or not drill shall be required of all students every week-day and at all times. Military training will be given each week and uniforms need be worn only for the drill periods. Pres. Vinson in making his statement added that he proposed to follow a plan similar to those in use at Wisconsin and Illinois.

Art Books From Marvin Collection Purchased
About 300 Volumes Cover Broad Research Field—Distinctive Binding
More than 300 of the best books on the various subjects connected with art, have been purchased and will soon be placed in Spooner Library. The books were at one time in the personal library of Dean Marvin, who was Dean of the School of Engineering until his death in 1915.
The books cover painting, etching, and engraving as found in the most representative products from Italy, France, England and America. The field open to research in almost any subject pertaining to art, is very popular among artists and artists, are noticed the names of Whistler, Haden, and Hamerton.
The bindings present a wide variety in make-up. Many are in full leather. One large book has a curiously enameled binding upon which lighter colored nymphs are pictured at play. A set of French painters is bound with a material much resembling red paint smeared on white paper.
A letter just received from the secretary of the Dartmouth Outing Club states that a less elaborate carnival than was formerly planned will be held February 22 and 23.

FRANK STRONG, Chancellor.
A convocation is announced for Tuesday, February 26 at 4 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium.

Real Thrills Injected Into Program Planned For University Party
Entertainment Features To Begin Promptly To Give Time For Dancing
"In keeping with the excitement of the present day, the program of the patriotic All-University Colonial party Saturday night contains more thrills than any other party of a similar nature that ever has been given" said Mrs. Eustace Brown, today. The Kaiser will be shaken by a soldier, half man and scientist, created at his installation. A trench will be bombarded and occupied by khaki-clad soldiers. Trench songs will be sung.
The first number of the program will be the song, "America" sung by the entire audience. The one-act play "Efficiency," will follow. The Glee Club will then sing popular favorites and trench songs from a trench built in the stage. Several solos and choruses also will be given at this time. The pageant, "Kanning King Kan," will follow after which the colonial dance will be given by Dorothea Engel.
"In spite of the fact that we are making the party an economical one," said Mrs. Eustace Brown this morning, "and even if we do not have any money to spend on decorations, the colonial decorations on the lower floor of the gymnasium, as well as the colors of the Allies on the second floor will be as elaborate and more effective than the decorations of any preceding All-University party. Miss Ruth Ellis, who has charge of decorating the gym has worked out a very effective scheme."
"It is absolutely essential," said Herman Hanken, chairman of the committee on general arrangement, this morning, "that the party commence promptly at seven thirty in order that the program can be over at 9 o'clock, so that the remainder time can be the same." The team had closed after the program has commenced and late comes will he admitted only between numbers."
The program will close with the singing of The Star Spangled Banner. A reception will be held on the lower floor and dancing will begin thirty minutes afterwards. The Glee Club has been practicing special songs for the party and the director promises a good variety of songs.

For every battle plane in use on European fields forty-six men are needed. About 115,000 men are now in the service of the Allies on the western front operating 2,500 planes.
The first airplanes for use on the battle fields in Europe are now on their way across the Atlantic. The shipment was made five months earlier than was thought possible at the beginning of the war.
Nearly $200,000,000 worth of war supplies bought by the Russian government before the deposition of the late czar, are being held in New York and will be disposed of to meet demands of creditors of the defunct government.
Americans have probably made more contributions to aerial navigation than any other nation. Dr. John Jeffries was the first person to travel from one country to another in a lighter-than-air machine; Langley, the Wright Brothers, Maxim, Chanute and Zahand developed the heavier-than-air machines; Rotch issued the first set of charts for aviators; and Maury, Wilks and Howard Coffin charted the winds.
American steamers of less than 2,500 tons will not be permitted to cross the Atlantic after this week. This order has been made as a conservation measure, as it is the opinion of the shipping board that small steamers are not economical.
A series of concerts are being given this week under the auspices of the extension department of the University of Kansas by Dean Harold L. Butler of the School of Fine Arts, Mrs. Butler and Mrs. A.

Food Administration Directs University to Offer Course On Food and War
Lectures on food conservation will be given on alternate Wednesdays and will take the place of physical education for women for that day and that day on which women are free from requirements of the department of physical education will be changed to Friday. This decision was made by the chancellor's cabinet at a meeting Wednesday night. The first University lecture on food conservation will be in Fraser Chapel Wednesday, February 27, at 4 o'clock. Every woman university will attend. The government through the Food Administration has directed the University to offer a course of lectures on food and the war to all women students. The department of home economics will have charge of these lectures.
At a meeting held February 19, the Senate passed a resolution requiring all women students to attend the lectures on food conservation, and withdrew the one unexclusive absence privilege from physical education to make room for attendance to these lectures.
"Women should be glad to take advantage of the opportunity given to hear these food conservation lectures," said Mrs. Paul H. Teeter, the department of domestic science.
"They are given, not because the Senate wishes to impose a new rule upon women students, but to assist the government, which, through the food administration at Washington, made an appeal to the University of Kansas to teach food conservation. It is a matter of patriotism."
Excavation of Ad. Wing
Is Nearing Completion
Two More Charges Complete Blasting—Will Begin On Foundation Soon
Excavation for the new west wing of the Administration Building is nearly finished. The blasting will be completed with two more charges of dynamite. 800 pounds of which have been used to dig the big rocks taken from the pit.
J. O. Jones, assistant professor of hydraulics in the School of Engineering, is the author of an article appearing in the November and December issues of the Cornell Civil Engineer, dealing with the effect on orifice and weir flow of a slight rounding upstream edge.
As soon as the work of excavation is completed, H. Kalloway, foreman of the construction gang, plans start the pouring of concrete into the room for the foundation. A tower, 100 feet high is being built for this purpose.
Mr. Kalloway intends, after a few days, to employ a force of fifty or sixty men to aid in the construction of the foundation walls.
The Olson and Johnson Company of Kansas City have the contract for the erection of the building which is to be an exact counterpart of the present east wing. The new structure will extend an investment building by a corridor 280 feet long and will be completed about the middle of December, 1918.
Owls initiate tonight at Sig Alph house at 8:15 o'clock.
This work, written as a thesis while Mr. Jones was at Cornell, was also printed January 17 in the Canadian Engineer, a journal of engineering projects, published at Toronto, Canada.

Drive For Red Cross To Be Launched Soon By Faculty Members
Will Be Campaign for Getting Funds For Local Chapter
Prof. Dykstra Heads Move
Pre-dated Checks To Be Used for Convenience In Giving
An urgent appeal to the citizens of Lawrence who are members of the faculty in the University is being made by a faculty committee of the Red Cross working under the direction of Mrs. Mervin T. Sudler of the Lawrence chapter of the Red Cross and Prof. C. A. Dykstra.
Pre-dated checks are being given each University instructor by this committee so that none of the faculty will be missed in the campaign. All checks are to be made out and sent to Professor Dykstra now. When a pre-dated check is received, this system will make it much easier to handle the Red Cross contributions
For some time the progress of the Douglas County chapter of the Red Cross has been hampered by lack of sufficient income. The plan of the campaign which is being launched is to increase the income of the County Chapter to at least £2,000 a month.
"It is planned to use the entire fund to buy yarn, flannel, layettes and cloth of various kinds which will be made into useful articles for the soldiers," said Professor Dykstra today. "This is an appeal directly to members of the faculty for aid in doing Red Cross work in Lawrence, and no students will be asked to help. It is no part of any National Red Cross drive and is not a membership campaign. We hope the members of the faculty will respond willingly to this worthy cause."
The National organization of the Red Cross has urged that every chapter of the organization arrange to have a permanent income each month and the drive on the Hill is expected to aid in obtaining the $2,000 income for Lawrence. The cost of materials used at headquarters has increased so much in the last few months this income is badly needed.
Members of the faculty who have been appointed in each building on the campus to distribute the predated checks are:

Plain Tales From The Hill
I'm bugs on "Squads right" and "left front into line"
OVERTIME MELODY
Oh, military drill is the class for mine,
And "Right about face" and "Follow your nose"
And "To the rear, march" and things like those,
And when we're dismissed only ten minutes late
stand on my head and pubilate. OH BOY!
BUT THEY WEREN'T BOX SEATS A student whose instinctive financial ability ought to land him in Wall Street plotted some frenzied finance not long ago and almost put it across.
Said he: "You know seats for this show that is billed here next week are all sold out. Now I want to go very much and I have my seat already bought, but I have to be out of town that night. So I'll sell you my seat for three times what I paid for it." "That's reasonable. How much..."
A frosh after having two dates with a girl named Beatrice decided that the tenor of their mutual and respective ways might be much everer if he addressed the fair maiden by her given name. Accordingly, after much hesitancy he called Bee over the telephone.
"Just seventy-five cents."
"Hello. This you, Bee?" he asked,
"What!" came a sharp, haughty voice over the phone.
“Oh! Aw—I beg your pardon. mean, be this you?”
Peens of praise accompanied by gobs of briny tears have often been sung for the hard working studie who works his way through college by alinging papers on wintry mornings or hashing at a boarding club. However, a greater hero by far has just been discovered. This lad, being hard up, offered to take fifty cents a blow to any one who cared to deliver said blow on his person with a two-inch napkin, convinced the proposition after being hit once, but he still says he cleared fifteen cents profit on the deal as the armenic he had to buy as a balm and solace only cost thirty-five cents.
TOO DEEP FOR HIM
A frish who never reads the papers and who has a more or less dimal outlook on life was asked if he was going to see "The Checkmate." "Yes, I guess I'll go," said he. "Since it's a college play, but I'm afraid not get the drift. You see I never did play chess any. Why back home at the barber shop I couldn't even beat in a game of checkers."
Men's Student Council Selects Four Members
The Men's Student Council elected new members at a meeting of the council Wednesday night. Earl McKinney and A. Hay were chosen to represent the College, A. G. Armstrong for the School of Law and Anton Williams for the School of Medicine.
The representative for the School of Engineering was not announced until noon today. Homer Hunt, chairman of the committee in charge, said the tie had been decided and that J. J. Jakowsky is the Engineer's representative.

Kanza Pledges
"Best Yet" Is Verdict Of The Hill Following Playing of Checkmate
Intrigue, Plots and Modern Utilities of Warfare Put On Stage
Finished Production Given
Dramatic Ability And Hard Work Combined By Dramatic Department
Thrills and fears, hopes and prayers, all in the successive increments of suspense thrown into all three acts of "The Checkmate," annual production of the K. U. Dramatic Club, carried a full house at the Bowesroom with only six minutes in the last seven minutes of the show Wednesday night.
Craig Kennedy, a student actor with stock company experience, who played the role of Christopher Bent, carried the main burden of the plot, successfully camouflaging his ability as a secret service man 'neath an English monocle and a silly-ass laugh. The audience liked him all the way through, from his first entrance to the big clinch in the last act.
Opposite Kennedy, Helen Clark played the role of Molly Preston in her usual sympathetic manner. Her work was excellent; but it must be said that the part did not give her much support she gave to his talent. Miss Clark's roles in many past plays have given her better opportunities.
Helen Bender as Miriam Leigh, the near-vampire, and Florence Butler as Fraulin Schroeder, divided second honors among the women. Miss Bender's work was melodramatic, sensitive, and highly effective; while Miss Butter possessed just the right sense of humor, her portrayal of the German governess convincing. Her pronunciation and her voice control were excellent.
Harold Lytle, in the role of John Preston, did quite the best acting of his five years in dramatic circles at K. U. He has quite acquired a stage presence that was not evident in some of his earlier acting; and his work last night was all that could be desired for the part. His voice and manner were just right, and his make up could not have been better. Lewis Hull, the business manager of the funnel company found time during the strenuous two months of its preparation to rehearse the role of Percival Pennicuik, was a smart British Tommy. His work was snappy, sure, and clean cut.
Bob Robertson, as Carl Sanderson, a German agent, was sufficiently objectifiable to be a thoroughly despised villian. His work was stagey, and with enough emphasis to project his personality into the heart of the entire action. It is to the credit of Bob's acting the villain that he succeeded in making all the audience glad when he was checkmated. Burney Miller, as Fritz, gave a fiery interpretation of a role that might have easily been spoiled by a less careful portrayal. His work was well balanced and consistent throughout. Marie Gibbons, as Daphne Kidlington, the little neighbor girl who passed out the white feathers was well cast.
There's one trouble about University women playing the roles of widows and maiden aunts. They can hardly be made up to look as old as they are expected to. Susan McDonald and Lucille Hovey, as Mrs. Sanderson and Miss Myrle, could not be supervised by world-class gairs for these parts, however, their make-up did a fairly good job of it. Gene Carter, as Corporal Atkins, was a highly efficient escort 'or the captured spies.
Of Prof. Arthur MacMurray, director of the production, not enough praise may be said. This play was the fourth "Fop. Mac" has fathered since he became head of the public speaking department four years ago—and it speaks for itself as to whether the reorganization of the Masque Club the Thespians, and Jayhawk Club, and the Red Dominos into one organization, with the department of performance, as a recruiting ground for members, is a success. Music for the production was furnished by the University Orchestra, led by Prof. T. E. Kendrie. It was the first time a real orchestra has appeared in the Bowersock in many moons.

WORTHY WAR INFORMATION
It was in an effort to get students of the University of Kansas interested in the great war in all of its phases that the War Council at the University was created. Its efforts have been uniting and it deserves recognition of having at least brought commendable speakers familiar with the war situation here to the University to talk at conventions.
At first the Council met opposition in having military drill and compulsory exercise interfere with a full attendance of students at the meetings at which the best speakers would appear. It was not possible to arrange to have a speaker come just on the date that the students were to be let off with no drill and exercise. But gradually the exercise authorities of the University saw that it was nearly as essential that the students have some first hand information of the battle fronts as it was to drill two hours on the golf links. The efforts of the War Council were strengthened.
Now, their plans have become so organized that they have a steady stream of speakers—but not coming to talk too often—appearing before the students. Perigard is an excellent example of the type of speakers brought here to describe the struggle across the waters. If the work of this War Council follows in other war matters relative to the University student as well as it has in bringing such an imposing variety of speakers to Kansas, it will become what the University Senate is not.
Just when the merchant is starting his spring suit sale announcements, there is another cold wave.
EVERY COMPRESS COUNTS
There are 938 women enrolled in the University of Kansas. About 50 of them are enrolled in surgical dressings classes. An urgent call has been sent out by the National Red Cross for all sorts of surgical dressings.
If every woman would spend one hour of the time she usually wastes in a week at the surgical dressings rooms it would mean 938 hours of work a week. Nine hundred and thirty-eight hours would mean -figure up for yourselves how many rolls of bandages it would mean. The University probably would be breaking a college record for production.
But the large majority of the women either have not or will not arrange their work to include the hours spent at Red Cross work. Consequently the amount of handages sent out from the University is low. And every compress counts in a Red Cross hospital.
There is a type of student who is always going to do something and always planning something unusual,
but* unfortunately he never does any
hing.
PIE
It is round, it is flaky and fulsomely sweet,—and it is incidentally palatable. Leave it alone. Don't let it tempt you. Of course it shouldn't be in sight; it shouldn't have been made in the first place. At least it should not have taken the carbo-hydrates that thousands have had deducted from their proper nourishment in England, France, and Belgium. Pie—that is the circular cistern for sugar and fats; that is the originally, exclusively American bane of digestion, fruit of extravagance, mixing-pan of sin.
Before the war, one ate half a pie at a sitting, custard in the morning, apple at noon, and mince thrice appropriate at night. Last year the H. C. of L. grated on pocket-nerves enough to limit the pieface to a saner quarter, which this year was reduced to a reasonable sixth. Some people went so far as to eat pie but once in twenty-four hours; others took desperate patriotic measures and pied up just once a week. Altruism will do wonders. Before the end of 1918 the United States will have pie only as a memory.
Manifest are the reasons for the expiration of pie. One needs only to approach the Western Front to get a stomach full of lead. That would be deliberate heroism now. But to swallow a plate of molten lead at home is to be an arrant foe, a rash seeker of unnecessary trouble. A nation's digestion at stake, a nation's common sense must inevitably come to the rescue. America must be made safe for the assimilation of wholesome food.
Then the cost of pie is ridiculous in proportion to what is received from it. Poor business is un-American, even un-German, quite unworthy. It is not a question of affording; it is wholly a matter of paying for what you do not get, of being internally destroyed under the deceit of a temporal blandishment. Piemakers are frauds; they are to breadmakers as thieves are to philanthropists. They know what they put into their products, they know and are indifferent to the fate of him who eats it. It is enough to say that they stand exposed along with their pastry. Their crust will crumble, too.
Finally the moral awakening of America will include in its banishment of booze and bodie the abolition of public insistence on personal indigestion. It will remove the cause for this peculiar love of sinning against self and the common weal. It will take pie from the baker's window and the pantry shelf and give it an everlasting place in the history of crime on the continent of North America.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
He promised his friend that he would type the theme for him, but he did not get the work done until three days later, when his friend got little credit on the assignment. Those three days made little difference, you say, but it was such a little thing, and his friend failed to play square. It's the little things that count in school.
CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will then not be used unless a record is written by the editor must know who is writing the communication as evidence of authenticity. Communications are welcome.
Why doesn't the University have some indexed file of all the names of students in the University of Kansas so that a student wishing to find the name and address of another student might easily and readily find it? There will be no directories this year because the University's student is in a hopeless muddle to find the name of some student and his address under present conditions.
Editor Daily Kansan:
The list could be posted under a glass framed bulletin board in Fraser Hall where everybody could have easy access to it. Under present conditions, the student cannot find the name except by chance or by going to the Registrar's office and having it looked up. This would be a hopeless situation, but the registrar would flock to the Registrar's office.
It only seems feasible that the indexed list plan be used when all of these things are considered. The proofs of all of the names could be obtained from the state printer if they have not already been brought here. The labor spent would be very costly, and many students still students would praise the scheme. Why doesn't the Registrar take it up or the University Senate?

RedCrossNews
A real daughter of the Revolution, wife of a veteran of the Civil War, and grandmother of a boy in the U. S. Army today, despite advanced age—she is 86 years old—James V. Carter of Ingleside at Topeka spends an afternoon a week at the working headquarters of the Red Cross. Since June 1 she has knitted eight sweaters, four helmets, four pairs of socks and six pairs of whistlets.
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
She comes of fighting stock. Her father carried arms in the War of 1812 when he was but 19 years old. And one of his race lost his head in England for refusing to bow down to imperious royalty which later lost its head too. During the Civil War, while her husband was at the front with Sherman finding out what war she was, she saw enough to support herself and three children and yet had time enough to scrape lint and make bandages for the army. Her grandson in Camp Doniphan is holding up the family record, but her effort is far from done.
Between Lincoln's birthday and Washington's birthday a Red Cross Junior membership is being waged throughout the country.
A ruling from Washington regarding Red Cross canteens makes it impossible for the Red Cross to sell anything to soldiers. Even chocolate and postcards must be given. If the post cards are stamped they may be distributed for the price of the posta Cigarettes must be passed out on a tray and the packages must be broken.
Headquarters has sent this word "Do not think that because the Christmas drive is past there is no reason for displaying the Red Cross Service flag. Foreigners visiting this country comment upon the solidarity of the American nation in this move. It is your duty to display the flag." There are few fraternity houses and rooming houses at K. U. doing so.

Hunger Harrows K. U.
Through Fifty Years
Of Various Feeding
Adam and Eve Sharing Apples Followed by Worldly Knowledge and Indigestion
The "coke" was not an economic member of society in 1874, and the college inn as yet an undiscovered gold mine.
In the back to nature days before there was a Brick's or a Lee's, the University student was never inspired to betake him, and possible her, to sip a "coke" between classes. In those pastoral days ye K. U. swain tortured his pocketts and wrecked his silhouette with rosy apples. Perhaps standing in the shade of a kindly tree between classes he might invite some favored maiden to eat an apple with him. The now conventional sunde or chocolate malted at Brick's or Lee's was as undreamed of as an aeroplane, and quite unnecessary to earthly bliss. The student of those days was here to go to school and not to learn to吃, or improve his taste in nectrices. At that time classes were held from 9 until 1 o'clock.
Cafes for the accomodation of students are comparatively recent says Professor M. W. Sterling who began teaching ancient languages in 1878, "Students went home for lunches and no cafes were needed."
Students then boarded and roomed in the same house, so these were the days before the dawn of the boarding club. The University grew and science advanced for eighteen years before laboratory classes were introduced. Then the period of afternoon work was lengthened. To avoid the trip home and return students and faculty resorted to the dinner pail. This system of nourishment probably was not wholly satisfactory because a lunchroom was opened in the basement of Fraser Hall. Miss Hannah Oliver, professor of Latin, who was graduated in 1874, recalls the lunch room, and the good will advertising in the shape of the aroma of coffee and baking buns which used to float upstairs about noon.
For unexplainied reasons the lunch room was soon discontinued. Then Billy Reynolds started his little restaurant just off the campus facing Fraser Hall. He was a joyful soul and the students were fond of him. So Billy dispensed jokes with his sausages, cakes, pies and doughnuts and indulged in idiotic dables were plentiful and cheap, and students flocked to Billy's. (Hoover was a mere child then. He probably was eating sausage, too.)
Billy's was a forerunner of Lee's. It ran several years until Billy could no longer lease the building. Today hundreds of students eat at "hill" and town restaurants and the student demands varied forms of service. He pours in, an ahorse of a hundred strong for lunch at noon. He drops in intermittently and spasmodically at all hours of the day and parts of the night, clamoring for pie or pickles and he occasionally orders a st. dinner with a white table cloth, when he is intending to take Mary down to dinner the night before he goes away to war.
It is said that there exists in the University a woman student who in her three years residence has never entered these cancums of the University world. The story may be true, but most people doubt it.

Now What Means The Musical Mysticism?
Comes now another teaser to the University bulletin boards and offers the wayfaring public another chance to whet its curiosity. The latest cryptic comer in the bulletin board teaser line is a brace of eight-notes, the king "Carus" gets about four bits apiece for vocalizing. Its design is most simple, which is as the advertising experts say it should be, and with its first appearance the Hill folks all know that "Well have" rather one what's the answer," and forthwith decided that some ambitious freshman was trying to dispose of a bale of mouth organs or some other music machine.
STUDENT'S SHOE SHOP
Today "March 5" appeared on the teaser, black on a blue background, and the Hill men and women revised their opinion and made another guess, saying, "All right, friend, somebody's going to harmonize March 5. What's it all about?" Some more Ideas of March stuff set to music, a harmonica virtuoso come to town, a symphony concert or the Men's Glee Club blossoming out again? Advance, friend, and give the answer and will the next installment be purple or pink and when are we going to get the whole truth of who's going to put on the show, how, where and when, and why don't you run your musical teaser in the University organ, the Kansan, if you want to create a real musical curiosity?"

How the "flivver" industry grew
But when I read—
R EADING the other day that there were nearly 4,000,000 automobiles in the United States wasn't surprising.
That in 1900 there were only 1200 motor vehicles in this country, then I got to thinking.
Comparison of those figures was like the battle between the lion and the mouse. What was it that caused the number of automobiles to grow so in number?
Of course, the automobile is bubbling over with utility and pleasure but it took more than the automobile itself to sell motor cars. Something had to convince the people that the automobile was not one continuous "upkeep," that motor cars could do everything and more than horses could,—it had to break the opinions of thousands of "doubting Thomas ""—that something was ADVERTISING!
And here is strange coincident—the motor car manufacturers are one of the largest classes of advertising buyers in the country; the motor car industry is one of the most thriving industries in the country—Do you see the connection?

Missouri Short Pass Beat Kansans Again By Score of 39 to 21
Five Man Defense With Strong Offensive Too Much For Jayhawkers
Makes Tiger's Eleventh Win
Hamilton Men Resort to Sloppy Teamwork—Forwards Try Long Shots
The Missouri Tigers defeated the Kansas Jayhawkers at Columbia again last night with the short pass by the score of 39 to 21. The Tigers won their pair of games against the Jayhawkers at Lawrence by the short pass and it was the undoing of the Kansans. It was the eleventh straight win for the Tigers and places them well in the lead for the Valley chomp saw
The Tigers were the agressors all the way after the first few minutes of the game when the Kansans led by a one point margin. The five man defense for which the Tigers are not held the Jayhawker attacks in check while the short pass piled an big score for the Missourians. The Kansans resorted to long passes that resulted in sloppy team work and deaf. The Kansans failed at the short pass game themselves. The Kansa forwardes were unable to hit the bag ket with their long shots and passe were wild.
Rice replaced Laslett who was put out of the game for personal fouls. Laslett played a great defensive game and he was brilliant. The game was rough all of the way.
The Kansas stars were Uhlraah who played an all around good game, Matthews who tussed six straight free throws, and Laslett for his floor work while in the game. Slusher and Ruby were the Tiger stars. Ruby was the man who worked so well in the series with K. U. here. The M. U. five were hitting the basket with more accuracy than they have displayed all season.

Track Men Begin Work For Kansas City Meet Freshmen Are Eligible
Athletes Will Meet Real Competition In Convention Hall March 2
Track work for the men who went to Manhattan began again in earnest Wednesday night. A large number of men who did not make the trip are also still out trying for a place on the team. "The men who did not make the trip to Manhattan still has a good chance to make the team," said Coach Hamilton just before the meet.
The K. C, A. C. meet in Kansas City March 2 is now barely two weeks off and men are working hard to be in the best condition possible. Freshmen are eligible for this meet and any one of them who shows up well in practice may be given a chance to play in the state team. Hamilton urges that all freshmen who think they are track men come out regularly.
The time in the meet at Manhattan Monday in many of the events was slow. Neither Murphy or Rice had any trouble in winning their team, and they respectively show up as sure point winners in the Valley meets.
Coach Hamilton is in Missouri this week with the basketball team. Fred Rodkey has complete charge of the track while he is away. The basketball season will soon be over and then Coach Hamilton will devote his entire time to the track team.

Dummy O'Leary, who was elected captain of the track team for this year at the end of the 1917 season, was out on the track limbering up yesterday. O'Leary is in Lawrence on a short furlough and will go to Columbus, O., to begin training for aviation. He has been stationed at Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C.
Only seven or eight men have turned out in response to the call for Varsity battery candidates and Coach Bond is anxious that the number be increased to fifteen or twenty soon.

K. U. Basketeers Deal First Defeat of Year To the Tigers, 28 to 23
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. FEBRUARY 22, 1018
Shifted Line-up, Using Missouri Style of Play, Outplays The Tigers
Kansas Leads all the Way
Missouri's March to an Ever Victorious Season Checked By Hamilton's Team
Coach Hamilton made a shake up in the team, using Rice at forward and Knoles at guard. The new combination looked good for guarding the Missouri forwards closely and using the short pass for which the Tigers scored a touchdown against them. The Kansas out played their opponents in every respect.
The Jayhawkers administered the first defeat of the conference season to the Missouri Tigers in Columbia last night when K. U. took the long end of a 23 to 28 score. The Kansas display team defeated Adrian and had a better offensive showed up better than in the game of the night before.
Captain Uhrlaub put K. U. in the lead in the first few minutes of play with a free throw and they were never headed. At the end of the first half Kansas was leading by a 13 to 6 and in the first half was easy for the Kansans.
Captain Campbell started a Missouri rally in the middle of the second half with a field goal. Slusher and Ruffy each registered a counter and time was called by the Jayhawks. After the ball went into play Shirkey threw a field goal. Kansas was now leading by a 16 to 9 score. Shirkey and Campbell both thrashed their foulds went wild. Two double fouls were called shortly and with a score of 23 to 26 Laslett threw a basket and the game was over.
The Kansas forwards were unable to hit the basket and the M. U. shooters missed many shots. The Missourians shot hurriedly and wildly. Matthews at center scored four goals. Ulhrlaub's floor work and free throwing stood out. The defensive play of Laslett was good. For Missouri, Slusher, Ruby and Shirkey showed up the best.
The score:
E. L. C. Quigley of St. Mary's referred the game and Phog Allen of Warrensburg unarmed.

It is absolutely necessary during the war that every woman be willing to do any work which she is capable of doing, and which needs to be done," said Prof. A. J. Boynton, of the departments of economics, in the Women's Forum yesterday. "The government's suggestions for women's work should meet with a ready response."
All Women Must Work Boynton Tells Forum
Many unmarried women are willing to work without wages, according to a recent governmental bulletin. Professor Boynton suggests that these women accept wages and invest them in Liberty Bonds, contribute them to the Y. M. C. A., or other war work. He believes that in the future women must not be married on men for money. After the war, women will be largely the wage earners of Europe. The enormous debts and taxes will not be paid in years. It is impossible that the same condition will prevail in the United States.
When peace comes, Professor Boynton says women will take economic problems more seriously than heretofore, and will have more wholesome ideas about employment for women.

Ye Old Regime Passeth And Man Takes Burden As the Society Editor
Kansan Board Will Elect New Members as They Qualify
Qualify
The Kansan elected a man as society editor for the first time at the election of officers last night. Lawson May, a junior in the department of journalism, was the obliging member of the staff who accepted the office after all of the women on the staff had refused. He is probably the first man to be society editor on a college daily in America. Some of the women had hold the office twice and most of the small number of women on the board-five out of twenty-three. Mr. May has been editor of the Plain Tales Column and has served as associate editor of the paper.
Alice Bowlby was elected editor-in-chief, taking the place of Millard Wear, retiring editor, while James Haddare, past assistant news editor was elected news editor. Luther Hangen was elected editor of the Plain Tales column. Floyd Hockenbull being editor during the last month. Ferdinand Gottlieb was made editor of the War Column, taking the position held by George Montgomery, the original editor of the column.
Miss Bowlby is the fourth woman to hold the office of editor-in-chief of the Kansan and is the second woman to be elected editor this year. The date of the election of new members to the Kansan Board was postponed. There are several vacancies on the board at present and more vacancies are expected to leave open places for students who show themselves as especially capable of doing work for the Kansan.
It was suggested by Mr. Mry, the newly elected society editor, that he be permitted to run his column to suit himself for a week without the supervision of the Kansan Board. He is planning some original ideas for the column.
Miss Parker Succeeds H. T. Hill on Faculty

Give heed to this tale, ye feminine creatures who scream at the sight of a mouse or shudder at the thoughts of the still, silent horrors lying in the dissecting room in the basement of the Museum; The Alpha Chi Omega sorority was assembled at the dinner table last night when the sharp ring of the telephone sounded in the hall. A freshman answered. "Oh, please somebody come quick!" came a choked, sobbing voice over the instrument. "Help! Help! I'm locked in the Museum and I'm all alone!"
The sisters immediately held a consultation. A census was taken and a freshman found missing, "Tell her to try the basement door," suggested a heartless girl. "She may not be so lonely down there."
The night watch of the Museum was called and told to release the imprisoned girl. The Alpha Chi sisters waited two hours for her return. Then two of them went to the Library. Away upstairs behind the fartherest book stack they found the huddled figure of the freshman. Her face was still pale but she had nothing to say.

Government Officials Inspect Campus For Coming of Draft Men
J. C. Wright and Lieut. A. J.
Etheridge Investigate Facilities at K. U.
Schools in Other Sections
Obtain Favorable Impression— Decision Sent to War Dept. At Washington
J. C. Wright, of the Federal Board of Vocational Education and Lieut. A. J. Etheridge, of the aviation division, are here at the University of Kansas today investigating the facilities of the School of Engineering, which are available for training enlisted men in automobile engineering, aviation engineering, and blacksmithing.
This sort of training schools, one of which will be established if the government is favorable are being or are to be established in various parts of the country for army men from the second draft who have been engaged in mechanical lines previous to being called into service. The course of work is to start May 1 and last until October 1.
In a conference with the engineering faculty this morning, both of the government investigators reported favorably on the conditions here. The big drawback seemed to be the question of housing the 500 men in a capable manner. Lieut. A. J. Etheredge would serve twenty years in the air service, said Rudolph Nassius would serve as a good place for housing the men, but the problem of blankets and equipment was the one which worried him most.
They obtained a good impression of the possibilities of using Fowler Shops in the building of the wooden parts of airplanes and the easy adaptability of the shops in studying engines and theirparts. Twenty pupils work in the cooling of one instructor, two months, a time will be spent in shop work. A very favorable report was made on the foundry.
The same officers will go to Manhattan tomorrow to inspect the state agricultural college. The report on the situation here and possibilities of having a school here will be sent into the War Department Monday. The actual decision, however, may not be known for several weeks.
If the School of Engineering here is used as this sort of a government training school for drafted men, students will be dismissed on May 1, so that the government study may start.
A clarion call has been sounded from the hilltop. It came as an echo to the noon whistle today. The "Jayhawk" scribes and judges, patriarchs and monarchs, have given the word. All next week must art and mischief flourish together. And then comes the court of injury, the coroner's inquest. And when the judges make their decision, the three persons who have turned in the best snapshots or collection of snapshots will receive certificates good for a copy of the 1918 Jayhawk.
Camera Fiends Out For Artistic Snapshots
"It's hard to define that word 'best'," said Brick Chandler, editor of the snapshot section, this morning. "But any student who has ever seen a Jayhawker will know what I mean. The snapshot section is always the livest part of the book—and we are trying to make this year's section the biggest but we've ever had. And this contest, we hope, will bring to light every snappy snapshot in every memory book on the Hill."
It is not only art for its sake, but it's also bread and butter, or rather ink and paste and such things in the concrete form of free Jayhawkers—the prizes to the three adventurous, audaciously and desperately original photographic geniuses who produce the rarest yet not the rarest snapshots for this year's annual.
A box will be placed at the entrance of the campus Monday morning, in which all competitors may place their snapshots. Contributions should be enclosed in an envelope, together with the contributor's name and address.

THE BUILDER
He was a maker, a builder. He laid foundations for the structure that would be broad enough to include and deep enough to uphold all that the creative power of his successors might lay upon it. George Washington lived and died in the eighteenth century, but his work shall never know the limits of time. Not that he saw all that might come or did come, but that he placed fundamental truths few enough and clear enough for enduring guidance in the progress he knew his free countrymen would inevitably make.
Washington fought a bitter war against a dependence that was sapping the life and destroying the common consciousness of men who loved their rightful liberty; Then he put into living form the new conception of an independent nation. In his last words to his people he warned against the entangling alliances of Europe and he knew what he was saying.
Lincoln could not have saved the nation Washington made possible if he and his predecessors had allowed themselves to be caught in the intricate and inexplicable windings of Old World intrigue. The intensiveness of American nationalism gave the nation confidence in itself and inspired trust abroad. The world knew that the country of Washington and Lincoln would make no conquest, would never be an aggressor.
Then finally the entangling alliances Washington warned against precipitated the Old World into conflict within itself. Into the midst of the huge struggle of blind forces came one sharp shaft of understanding light. It came from the New World, and it was new. It eventually aligned the forces in combat and opened the way for America to throw her strength with the one at last clearly right. America had to lead out and break down those old entangling alliances, had to find the new plain alliance for the peace of a world set free.
Wilson expressed the national ideal and purpose when he declared for the interdependence of nations. His utterance was not possible until the cause of Washington's warning had been purged away by war. And now is come another day of deliverance, now is the hour of labor for another builder. But the builder builds on ancient and everlasting foundations. Down the ages the spirit of Washington is calling, and forever will call, "After me cometh a builder; tell him I too have known!"
It is discouraging in these times of high winds, we must admit, but it does seem strange that three stripes from the American flag on top of Fraser Hall should remain seceded from the union.
A CHANCE FOR WRITING
University students do not realize that they are missing an opportunity when they let the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis essay pass unnoticed. Aside from the money given to the four winners—$250 in all—the literary aspect as well as the timeliness of the theme should attract three times as many University students as are trying for the prizes.
Every manuscript must deal with the application of the teachings of Jesus to International Relations. The faculty committee in charge of the contest has suggested three subjects to indicate the sort of form the papers should take: "The Term of Christian Peace;" "Christian and National Ideals;" and "The Christian As a Soldier." The University student is to consider some problem of this general type.
The winner of the first prize will receive $100; the second best will get $75; third best, $50; and fourth prize winners will get $25. The papers must range from 5,000 to 10,000 words in length. A tentative outline must be in the office of the Chancellor by April 6 with the name of the contestant. Three copies must be turned in of the completed essay by May 4. The winner will be announced at commencement by the faculty committee.
Members of this committee are eager to see some propious essay writing come out of this subject. The subject matter must be a critical discussion and the writer is to establish as clearly as possible what the teaching of Jesus are affecting the matter in hand. Few have applied as contestants thus far. There are indications that the contest will be a weak one this year unless more interest is developed soon.
If the student would read every book suggested by his many professors it would be necessary for him to have his meals served in the library.

CAMPUS OPINION
“Most of us have at least one friend, trodding the soil of la belle France.” “So this is English when the native son gets what you call exhaustimistic not so.’ This is the supreme eloquence of reversed or backwardly extend’ grammatical form, not so’. You would have us all understand that trending is weakly that trodding is the verbal symbol of bravely brave militarily. Very good. This is very interesting.

THE EDITOR.
The above communication has proved something. The ad in which the atrocious violation of the King's English occurred was read and read thoroughly. The idea is old. It began in Boston in the first days of the old Boston Theater, oldest playhouse in the United States. It was a custom to put into one of the ads in the theater program an error in grammar. The first person who discovered the error and reported it to the office gift a pair of seats for the next production free. People read the ads. Of course they did. They still do.

Student In Correspondence Course Tells How Our Fathers Used To Save

A Little Cornmeal In Your Flour

Kick About
"So you're objecting because Hoover has put corralme in your white four, are you? You're complaining that times are not what they once were?" You're angry because your husband's salary won't buy as many luxuries as he does, dear medium, what you need is a good big dose of Kansas forty years ago.
"Let's pretend you are rubbing Aladdin's lamp and wishing for the happy times of the dear long ago.
"Ah, we are we. Came like lightning, didn't it? A tremendous change of scene, don't you think? Broad rolling prairies, covered with tall grass or corn that's been shrived by the hot winds. Won't be much of a corn crop this year. Never mind, you can buy corn for ten cents a bushel—and if you want eggs before buying chickens, they are only three or four cents a dozen. Of course you'll want to keep three or four cows and a flock of hens, because the butter and egg money will have to pay for all the clothes that you and the children will wear.
"You'll have to be desperately saving, but it's amazing how far a few cents will go when buying calico. You can make all the family underwear out of flour sacks, you know. Of course, the children won't need more than one school dress apiece. You should be sure to come home from school in the afternoon, and iron them early next morning.
"Most of the time you'll have to use corn bread, and you will put sugar on the table only when company comes.
"Ha, here's a dandy sod house, better than the usual run. It'll be a splendid place for your family. Perhaps you wonder how those sod walls hold together. I'd better tell you how such houses are made.
"Being inexperienced, madam, you need some advice. Don't let vermin get started in your sod house, because
"The pioneer goes out and plows up the virgin soil in long ribbons about eighteen inches wide and several inches thick. Then, with his spade he cuts the ribbons in pieces and piles them high to build the walls of his house, much as bricks are laid. The grass roots hold them together. Across the top he lays split logs for a roof, and over all he places more sod. If he's prosperous he plasters the inside, but often it is a rough job, and the rain sends streaks of brown mud down the walls.

Senior Women Capture Title from Sophomore Sextet by 23-16 Score
Snappies of Playing Marks Final Contest for Campus Honors
Teams Are Evenly Matched
Second-Year Women Excel in Floor Work, but are Unable To Cage Ball
In one of the fastest women's games ever seen in Robinson gymnasium, the seniors defeated the sophormes last night by a 23 to 16 score for the championship of the University. The teams were evenly matched and although the seniors led most of the way, at no time were they more than eight points ahead of their opponents.
Sarah Trant, left forward, led off for the seniors with a field goal but the sophomores soon tied the score and finally drew ahead with the count 6-4 and later 8-6 in favor of the second year team. The sophomores excelled the seniors in floor work, as their dribbling and allaround fast play carried the ball under the fourth-year team's goal time after time. But the sophomores failed to make their good work count in the score column, as their forwards just could not seem to locate the basket. The seniors, by a pair of goals in quick succession tossed by Sarah Trant and Dorothy Querfeld, took the lead in the last three minutes of the first half and held it during the remainder of the game. The half ended with the score 11-8 for the seniors.
The sophomores rallied in the fore part of the second period and threatened to tie the score, but Sarah Trant started a senior spurt just at the right time, and the fourth year team aided by good goal shooting by Captain Dorothy Querfeld and Joyce Brown, assumed a commanding lead which the sophomores were unable to overtake.
Excellent guarding on the part of both teams and clean playing were the features of the game. The great defensive work of Ruth Dively and Katherine Orelup, the sophomore guards, broke up the offensive of the Querfield-Trant-Brown combination time and again, while Ruth Bottomly played her best game of the year at the jumping center position. Her interception of senior passes was one of the big features in keeping her team in the running until the last. Captain Ruth Trent at center performed in her usual brilliant style and tossed two goals, while Iris Russell also played well at forward with a pair of goals to her credit.
Earline Allen, sophomore left forward, was responsible for half of her team's points and her all-around play was excellent.
Sarah Trant was in her best form of the year, caging six field goals for the seniors besides playing a great game on the floor. The close guarding of the sophomores kept Dorothy Querfeld's score down to four field goals, but the senior captain played well, both on offense and defense. Nelle Beilgood's guardsion was good and along with Ruth Endacott, she pulled the senior out of most scoring lanes, first half. Margaret Bader generally got the tip-off for the fourth-year team and this fact aided her team greatly in winning the championship, while Joyce Brown and Dorothy Tucker finished out the senior machine and contributed their part toward the victory.
The spectators were entertained between halves by stunts put on by the consisting of a scene in the gymnasium at 4 o'clock, with women bothering the physical instructor with claims for exemption from gym and hiking. The second stunt was a mock basketball game with sophomores in clown suits as the players. A track meet consisted of the shot-put, discus, hurdles and relay concluded the program. The shot was in the form of paper bags and the discs were in pans.

Delay in the arrival of the books for the Men's Bible Study classes has caused the postponing of the opening of the men's classes until next week. The book to be used is "The Social Principles of Jesus."
These classes will be given under the direction of the University Y. M. C. A, and W. Y. C. A. Ten sororites and sixteen fraternities have regular classes and the total enrollment is between nine hundred and one thousand, said Hugo Wedell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.

Fourth Annual Party Was Well Attended; Patriotic In Nature
Flags of the United States and Of the Allies Served as Decorations
Used Theater Arrangement
Entertainment Features Were Liked by Audience—Orchestra Furnished Music
Most of the University was present at the Fourth Annual All-University Colonial Party given in Rolston Gymnasium Saturday night. "The game was very exciting," the Allies used for decorations helped to make it a real patriotic party.
The first part of the entertainment was composed of vadeville numbers.
"Efficiency," the one-act war play presented by Alpha Phi Tau, members of the dramatic art class, was the best number. Burney Miller, who played the part of the Kaiser, realized the dramatic moments of the play and won much applause. Herman Hangen, the efficient man built up from a cripple by the Scientist, who finally kills the Kaiser and ends the war which he was supposed to win, carried the part well. Karl Brown, the Scientist, interpreted the character well.
The pageant, "Kanning King Kan" was a clever presentation of the food conservation question and illustrated aptly "grone are the days when we throw our scraps away." Susan Mac-Donald was director of the caste and Dorothy Cole had charge of the dances.
The Men's Glee Club sang two numbers. The first was a group of trench songs, "Johnny Get Your Gun," "Over There," and others sung from behind camouflage trenches in front of the stage. Harold Hall and the members of the Home Burning" and a quartet "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia" from behind the scenes. John Wahlstedt sang two solos.
Dorothea Engle was charming as a colonial lady. Her dance took the place of the minstick which has been a feature of former colonial parties. The program was drawn by Prof. W. S. Hekking of the School of Fine Arts.
The failure of the program to begin on time and the long waits between numbers detracted a little from the effect of the program.
Social dancing followed the reception. A four- piece orchestra, played.
NUMBER 96
A reception on the lower floor of the gymnasium followed the program. In the receiving line were Herman C. Hangen, Mrs. Eustace Brown, Dr. and Mrs. Frank Strong, Magnon Schoen, Warren Watters, Eater Moore, Agnes McFarlane, Holmes and Eustace Kugler. White lattice work covered with flowers changed the lower floor of the gym to a colonial garden.
Herman Hanken was in charge of the general arrangements. The committee on decorations was Ruth Ellis, Karl Brown, Frances Hitchcock, Lewis Potueck, Helen Pears, Francis Fuhr, and Frances Allen. Ernst Kugler was in charge of the program.
Senior Invitations Not As Expensive This Year
Orders Accepted at Check Stand
—To Place Star After
Names of Soldiers
Seniors may order their commencement invitations at the check-stand in Fraser Hall Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The prices are twenty and forty cents, and the invitations are the same quality as last year, although the prices were twenty-five and fifty cents. There is no limit on the number ordered, but the money must accompany the orders.
Letters have been written to all enlisted men who left the University after receiving their degrees, asking if they wish to order invitations. Soldiers' names will be starred in the class roll.
"Class Day 1918," a poem by Helen Rhoda Hoopes of the department of English, will appear in the invitations. Leather or paper bindings may be ordered. The cover is decorated with "Kansas" in large letters and the seal of the University.

Eight K. U. Students Qualified for Aviation
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 25, 1918.
Eight University of Kansas men have been recommended to the War Department by the Kansas City aviation examination board as fitted to receive commissions in the aviation section, signal corps, of the army, after completing a satisfactory course of training. Their names follows: Frank P. Mandeville, c'20; Harry M. Nielsen, c'17; Paul J. Rutherford, c'20; Horace M. Staggers, c'20; William W. Vandermidschma, c'20; Wallace O. Hake, l'18; Paul P. Merritt E; Ellsworth G. Tuttle, e'19.
The War Here and Over There
Jericho, of biblical renown, has been taken by the British in their campaign against the Turks in Palestine.
Sixty-three survivors of the Tuscania, who are in Irish hospitals, are reported recovering from injuries and exposure.
Since the United States entered the war the employees of the United States Steel Corporation have received increases in their wages amounting to sixty per cent.
Ex-Chancellor Von Bethman-Hollew has set aside the income from his real estate holdings at Waco, Tex., amounting to about $75,000 a year, for the purchase of Liberty Bonds.
The aviation school at Princeton, V. J., is the first camp in which every man has taken out war insurance. The school was funded for 110,000, the maximum amount.
The administration's bill for the appointment of two additional assistant secretaries of war is now before Congress. Goethals and Stettimius have been mentioned for the positions.
The dasheen, a sub-tropical plant which grows in swamps, with a fruit similar to potatoes, is being raised in the South in an effort to solve the food problem. Its leaves, stems, and roots are all valuable as food.
The first official news of the presence of new American units on the western front was given out Friday night, February 22, in the report of a patrol engagement in which the Americans were victorious. The new line is in the famous Chemin-des-Dames sector, which is the point nearest to Paris.
Director General McAdoo, in reply to the statement of Food Administration Hoover that the country was facing a food crisis on account of transportation difficulties, says that the state has been trying to handle the supply, and that he is willing to place them entirely at Mr. Hoover's disposal.
The steamer Florizel, of the Red Cross line, bound from St. Johns for New York, was wrecked on the rocks north of Cape Race in a blizzard Sunday. Little hope is held out for the 146 passengers and crew on board, as there was no response to a line put on board the battered vessel by naval gunners.
President Wilson has set the standard for wheat during the coming year at $2.20 per bushel, the same figure as last year. This is for No. 1 Northern spring wheat at Chicago, with a descending scale of prices at other markets. The President's order removes the danger of an unsettled wheat market by heading off agitation in Congress.
The Boisheviki have accepted the German peace terms, which will place Russia in virtual German bondage. The terms call for the surrender of Livonia, Esthonia, Finland, Ukraine, and other territories ( demobilization of the Russian army and internment of the fleet, cessation of anti-German propaganda, and a commercial treaty favoring the Teutons. Little resistance is being offered the two divisions of the Kaiser's army which are occupying Russia, with Petrograd as the apparent objective.
The Senior Memorial Committee met this week and decided to present to the University either an electric clock or a bulletin board. Walter Raymond, chairman of the committee, said investigations were now being made as to the price of electric clocks and a decision would soon be made as to the choice of memorial to be presented.
Has Charge of Women at Funston; Will Confer W/h K. U. Women
Winifred Wygall To Come To K. U. Tuesday To Speak At Y. W.C.A
K. U. Women
"The War Program of the L. W. C.
A. at Home and Abroad" will be the subject of Miss Winifred Wygall's talk at the regular meeting of the W. Y. C. A, in Myers Hall Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. *Miss Wygall* is in charge of all the works of the Association at Camp Funn on. Before coming to Funston she was student secretary at Vassar.
The Y. W. C. A. at Camp Funston is in charge not only of the hostess house but everything connected with women there. Miss Wygall, as director of the work, is responsible to the government for every woman employed there. Many women are employed in laundries and in offices.
Miss Wygall will be in Lawrence tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. Any University women desiring conferences with her about Y. W. C. A work may arrange for them with Miss Buffield. All women who are thinking of attending for any other reason of interest to the Y. W. C. A. should see Miss Wygall some time tomorrow. She will be at West-minister Hall.
The efficiency of the Association's work has been tripled since Miss Wygall took charge, the Committee on War Work has reported.
Bible Study Classes Have 1025 Enrolled
Faculty Members Who Lead Classes Meet Weekly for Discussion
E. M. Briggs, Commanding.
"The total enrollment of Bible study classes is at present 1025," Hugo Weddell, head of the movement here at the University said this morning. "There are twenty-six faculty members as leaders in the fraternities and sororites and ten others who are leaders in the down-town churches and in the Bible-chairs.
Former Students Leave for Camp Lieut. J. Elliott, Paul Friend, Ronald Ramsey, Pat Harvey, Earl Fitzpatrick, Dudley FITzpatrick and Roscoe Stubs, former students at the University are members of Base Hospice (89), which left Kane City Saturday for Camp McPheson, Georgia. The unit was mobilized a month ago in the Union Station at Kansas City.
Because of the convocation set for 4 o'clock, Tuesday February 26, A Company will not form at 2 o'clock, as usual, but will form with the other companies at 4 o'clock. Rolls will be called, reports made as usual and the companies dismissed as soon as possible to attend convocation.
"The hearty co-operation of both students and faculty members, as shown by the high enrollment in the classes and by the large number of faculty members who have charge of the work done in them, is very encouraging." Mr. Wedell said. "So far we have graduated from organized classes for Bible study and all of the sororities have enrolled for the work."
The student's national day of prayer was observed Sunday from 9:00 to 9:30 o'clock, at the Congregational Parish House. The meeting, an annual event, was considered of special importance on account of war conditions. It was led by Miss Esther Roop and was well attended.
A number of the Epworth Leagues and Endeavor societies of the downtown churches, recognizing the value of organized Bible study have turned their regular meetings into discussion groups, using "The Social Principles of Jesus," by Rauschenbusch, as a guide.
Faculty members who are leaders of classes, are proving their interest and regard for the work, by meeting at Westminster Hall from 7 to 8 o'clock each Friday evening for discussion of these classes. These discussions are carried on under the leadership of Dean F. J. Kelly of the School of Education.

Electrical Companies Are Combing Country For Skilled Workmen
Westinghouse Agent Interviews Seniors and Juniors in University of Kansas
All electrical companies in the United States are in sore need of skilled men, according to M. H. Bielbeck of East Pitsburgh, Pa.; representing the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, who is here today interviewing the seniors and juniors at the School of Electrical Engineering.
The scarcity of help, he says, is due to the fact that so many men have enlisted and others who have not are averse to the commonplace kind of work miles behind the firing-line. Most mechanically inclined men prefer a special branch of the service such as aviation, but there are so many such men that all cannot hope to enter that branch. For such men, says Mr. Biebel, it is better that they work for an electrical company, even though it is not as interesting as work at the front.
Nearly all electrical and manufacturing companies in the United States are doing government work, designing and producing new implements of war. The Westinghouse Company, says Mr. Biebel, is now working on two such appliances. The call for men rests on the fact that the company is more of a case of 'increased production than of design.'
Mr. Biebel, in interviewing the electrical students today, is attempting to show them the importance of their tasks. The work they will be asked to do in the factory is the highly specialized kind such as designing shells and airplane propellers, assembling motors, and so on. A special invitation is given to the junior electrics to work through the summer months, for the company wants every available man.
Two Hand-forged Nails Found in Razed Building
Will Be Placed in School of Engineering Museum as Relic Of Old Days
While working on the building which stands opposite Ecke's Hall the workers found two old-fashioned hand-forged nails which evidently had been made before the invention of the nail machine.
George Innes, of the Innes, Bulleine & Hackman Dr. Goods Company opened in this building the first store he ever owned in this city. His first customer was the father of Mr. Ellis, the present owner of the building.
The nails are curious enough, but the story connected with the old building, which is being reconstructed by W. C. Ellis, is even more curious. The building was built by a Mr. Raymond whose grand-daughter, Mrs. Bessie Cox, is today director of the First Baptist church of Lawrence.
The two old rusty nails will be placed in the museum of the School of Engineering as a souvenir of the progress of Lawrence and its citizens.
Grad Magazine Features Department of Cooking
The "Seeing K. U." article for the February number of the Graduate Magazine takes the seer into the basement of Fraser Hall to visit the Department of home economics. A full page cut shows two women at work in the model kitchen menure in the magazine is taken from a diary written by Miss Kate Stephens, '75, while she was living in Germany in 1883.
The list of men in service who have gone from the University is continued. The names of former students are given of graduates are given in this list.
As usual the magazine contains the general University news boiled down, the athletics, and the alumni notes which give the personal items about graduates.
Herbert R. Laslett, c18, who withdrew from school several weeks ago to enlist in the coast artillery is back in Lawrence after being rejected from the service because of his eyes. He will re-enroll in school.
K. U. Man Establishes New Aviation Record
Lieut. Sam Pickard of the 182 Aerial Squadron of Camp Tailifero, Texas a former K. U. student, broke all United States records in flying Saturday, when his squadron totalled 125 hours of continuous flight with the machines the highest record made in the United States.
Following this success, Lieutenant Pickard was appointed as the commanding officer and assumes responsibility for the entire camp.
Mr. Pickard has always written optimistic reports of his work. He was sent to the aerial training school of the Royal Flying Corps at Toronto, Canada, last August and since that time, both there and in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was later transferred he has made rapid progress.
The following is a copy of the telegram received by his parents here yesterday: "I broke the U. S. records today for flying time. My squadron totalled 125 hours with ten machines, which is going some. I am in charge of all flying and assume responsibility."
Plain Tales From The Hill
In addition to enduring the first man society editor ever this month, the Kansan is having a freshman for an editor for the first time in its history. Ferdinand Gottlieb, c2'1, is serving as editor of the War Column. Gottlieb is not in the department of journalism, but has worked on the Kansan all year, intending to enroll in the department next fall. He was the only freshman ever elected to the Kansan Board.
A few freshmen in a house on the Hill have taken advantage of a turn in the stairway to occupy orchestra and box seats for farewell dates, an audience the actors did not like to play to.
THEN THEY SAID FAREWELL.
A woman in the house received a telegram a week ago from a "friend in California" who had enlisted and was stop off for one evening on his way through Lawrence. Hence, another farewell date for the freshmen's enjoyment. The happy woman tailed of nothing but the "man" for several days, making the others in the house wild to see him.
On the fateful night the woman went to meet the man. The freshman women placed themselves advantageously and waited. Just before the dates came back, however, one woman's conscience hurt. "It’s too soon," she said. "Lady Peck tonight." So the freshmen went pains at their lessons.
The woman soon arrived with a strange-looking man. The hours dragged slowly by, the two sitting side by side, evidently expecting some peeking eyes. At last the girl turned to her companion. "Well, Bess, it didn't work," she said. "it was a beautiful plan; I don't see why it miscarried." Bess, with a sigh of relief, pulled off her wig.
Billy Ashley, c'21, made a bet with a certain plain-tales-man that his name would not appear in this column during the month of February. He loses.
K. U. Alumni Banquet Held at Kansas City
Burney Miller, after being choked three times in the play "Efficiency," almost strangled in the "Checkmate"; and finally shot in the latter play, all for taking the part of a Hun, is still around as a living American citizen.
The annual K. U. alumni banquet was held in Kansas City, Saturday night. Instead of the usual songs and college yells the dinners preferred the popular war songs. The speakers told of the self-sacrifice and patriotism of the hundreds of K. U. men who have given their services to their country. "War" was the theme of all the speakers.
There are now about twenty-five hundred K.'s, men in service," said Diah R. Brown.
The new officers elected are: Charles M. Blackmar, president; Porter Fones, vice-president; Ralph E Morrison, secretary; Robert J. Camp bell, treasurer.
Russell Charles of the School of Pharmacy, because of eye trouble, has withdrawn from his classes to return to his home in Attica, Kansas. Mr. Charles expects to return to school next year.
Conditions in Russia Will Be Subject of Doctor Harper's Talk
earned Much at Petrograd While in Service of American Embassy
Convocation in Gym Tues.
Four o'Clock Classes to be Dismissed to Enable Students to Attend Lecture
Dr. Samuel Harper, former professor of Russian at the University of Chicago, who has been interpreter for the American Embassy in Petrograd during the recent revolution in Russia, will speak in Robinson Gymnastium at a 'o'clock tomorrow afternoon. He will present him dismissed and students in military drill will be given a chance to hear this address on "Conditions in Russia."
There probably is no other man in the United States who is better informed on the Russian situation than Doctor Harper. He has lived in Russia, speaks the language fluently and as interpreter during the revolution he has been able to get some first hand information that should be valuable to students of the war. Doctor Harper is a son of the late William Rainey Harper, president of Chicago University.
"We are very fortunate in securing this address," said Cancellor Frank Strong this morning, "and I believe that it will be the most timely address that has been given at the University this year. William Allen White returned to this country from Europe last fall on the same steamer with Doctor Harper and he tells me that Doctor Harper is a most interesting and entertaining speaker on his sub-surface because he knows Russia intimately. He hopes these students and faculty members will hear this man and the University invites the people of Lawrence to attend the convocation."
Doctor Harper arrives in Lawrence tonight.
Snapshot Box Awaiting Hill-climbing Students
Jayhawker Editors Are Mutely Passing the Plate for Kodak
It's not a very big box—but it means a lot to the folks who read the 918 Jayhawk. It's not a particularly handsome box, either; but it's aafe to say that no single amount of pace on the campus contains as much highly intensified, dangerously exosive material.
Why, the Jayhawk Snapshot Box of course—the box which is being used by "Brick" Chandler, snapshot editor of the "Jayhawk," in his snapshot contest. Contributors are loading it with prints this week, in the hope of winning the three copies of the Jayhawk, the official University annual, which are offered to the three persons for the best snapshots submitted.
What box is this?
Where is the box?
Don Davis, business manager of the Jayhawker, is besieaching every student to notice the box near the University bulletin board, as they climb the Hill tomorrow morning. It's there—quite an ordinary looking box, securely locked, with a silt in the top through which snapshots may be dropped. There's a sign to the effect that this box is for the use of contributors to the snapshot contest.
"I think the contest will be a big success," said Brick Chandler this morning. "Every student should get out his memory book this week, and look through it for possible contributions. If you haven't any pictures already, get out your kodak and snap a few of the rare sights visible these days. No hike is complete without the thrill that comes from seeing it recorded in the Jayhawker. We want all sorts of snappy prints, and I hope everyone who has snapshots that are at all appropriate will turn them in. The box will be on the Hill all week; and the contest will continue until Friday night. Prizes will be awarded next week."
Prof. M. C. Elmer of the department of sociology was in Wellington, Friday and Saturday organizing the work for civilian relief under that chapter of the Red Cross.

REAL WAR WORK AT LAST!
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1918.
At last University women will be able to do practical and efficient war work on the campus during spare hours, without interrupting their regular class schedule. Surgical dressings work is to be begun, in connection with the Lawrence chapter of the Red Cross.
Room 205, Fraser Hall, has been cleared of class room furniture and fitted up for the purpose. This room will be open four afternoons a week. Women are asked to register for at least two-hour periods.
Much has been said, so far, and little work of actual usefulness done. Perhaps this practical work will help to silence those critics who have felt that war work at the University was not likely to go beyond aesthetically beautiful and rhetorically perfect expressions of patriotic sentiment. Whether justly, or not, Kansas has been called a pacifist state. The University has been called indifferent and selfish. An example, often pointed out lies in the difficulty which was experienced in the raising of our bare quota of the Student's Friendship War Fund for the Y. M. C. A., when other schools, even in our own state were doubling and tripling their quotas.
University "Morale" has been called into question; here is one chance for refutation.
Register for surgical dressings and help that little candle of patriotism in your soul to grow into a full blown are light!
The more energy, time and self sacrifice one bestows upon a cause the dearer it becomes to him. Our cause will be all the dearest to the girl who is giving up one or more aftermorns a week to minimize however slightly the desperate need abroad of surgical dressings for wounded men.
WAR SONGS FOR COLLEGE YELLS
"When two hundred college men gather around the banquet board, one expects to hear the old college songs and the chant of the yells so familiar on such occasions. They were lacking last night at the eleventh annual dinner of the Kansas City Alumni Association of the University of Kansas at the University Club.
"Instead of college songs the diners preferred the popular war songs. The speakers did not dwell on the prowess of former athletes, but told of the self sacrifice and patriotism of the hundreds of K. U. men who have given their services to their country. 'War' was the theme of all the speakers.
"There are now about twenty-five hundred K. U. men in uniform," said Dr. W. L. Burdick, vice-chancellor.
From the Kansas City Star, comes this mention of the commendable
spirit of the Kansas City Alumni Association of the University. The alumni are watching the extent of the University students' war activities.

A Fox had by some means got into the store room of a theater. Suddenly he observed a face glaring down upon him and began to be very frightened; but looking more closely he found it was only a mask, such as actors use to put over their face. "Ah," said the Fox, "you look very fine; it is a pity you have not got any brains."
Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.
STONE AND MORTAR
Spooner Library, house of books ready-to-be applied store of universal knowledge at K. U., tried to be beautiful. And it almost succeeded. Then came a man with a trowel and a bucket of mortar, and a grim purpose, for he had seen crevices between the stones of the venerable edifice. His purpose was worthy, but his unfinished task forever confutes his original good will.
The most conspicuous as well as the most useful building on the Hill suffers blemish. It looks like some fine old ruin, or it would if a little more ivy could be encouraged to grow over it. Of course consistency would help too. There should have never been no attempt at all to point up cracks if that work were to be abandoned less than half completed. It is the incongruity that jars on the sentitive eye—the glaring indication that there was need for repairs. Otherwise one might have gone in and out of Spooner for a century and never known the need of old stones for new mortar.

There now is reason to climb to the fifth floor of Fraser for away up there, is a new library. It isn't a library just moved over from some place else, but it is a really new addition to the University. The Kansas Academy of Science has moved from Memorial Hall in Topeka to this fifth-floor room. The Academy of Science, at first the university was not originated in 1868 with only seventeen members. Now there are more than two hundred.
Guy West Wilson, secretary, is in charge of the up-in-the-air library. Mr. Wilson is a graduate of DePauw and Purdue universities. He will welcome the students to the library as soon as the books can be arranged upon the shelves.
Until last summer, its headquarters have been in Topeka. Now eight thousand volumes of books and pamphlets on all scientific subjects, have found a new home in the University.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Worker For Red Cross Explains Manufacture Of Surgeons' Compress
Increased Number of Women Students Take Up New War Task
"What is a compress?" the ordinary student asked.
"A compress," answered the student who makes them "is made from a square of cheese cloth or surgeon's gauze, eighteen inches square, folded several times with the rough edges of the skin," and form it is eight inches long and four inches wide. Nurses and doctors use it in Red Cross hospitals to dress wounds."
Five hundred compresses were made by the forty-two women enrolled in the surgical dressings classes last week. Eighteen women were on Thursday, the largest number since the classes have been started.
For making compresses, or doing the other work which the workers in surgical dressings classes will do, a long-sleeved apron, or a short sleeved apron and cuff, a big handkerchief to cover the hair, and a six-inch ruler for measuring. At least an hour a week, several hours are better, are necessary.
The schedule on the door of Room 205, Fraser Hall is put there merely as a convenience for students and instructors. Women who wish to work do not need to sign up. Those who have signed are not limited to the hours for which they registered. All that is required for the classes is that they have the necessary uniform, wash their hair, wash their work. Room 205 is open from 3 to 6 o'clock Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday.

The Soldiers in Town.
To the young male members of the University who have joined to work
university who have not gone to war:
Those "Can't we postpone this date till next week" pleas over the telephone yesterday and the day before were caused by a general depletion of the nearby army camps over Saturday and Sunday and a quo vads to Lawrence.
In other words there were too blooming many soldier-fellows in town for decent competition with us common civilians. The All-University Bump Saturday night looked more like a military ball than it did what it was. The streets of Lawrence yesterday had the appearance of the company streets at Camp Funston on ladies' visiting day.
But where there is life there are dates and the soldiers are about all gone by this time and those four-for-ty misterantonio dates still hold good. Be thankful for something, of youth

"Now I wonder," and again and again-"Now I wonder!" So he spoke. And th Sage gave Delphic word, and the Prophet said not a word.
"Verily," replied the Sage, "h who speaks thus today must be near er truth than he who spoke then," so quite, so quite," agreed the Prophet.
"I wonder what was meant when all she said last cold snap that it was the last one," quoth the Wonderer.
The intruder was promptly named the Wonderer.
"I wonder why things are thus, why—" the Wonderer had unconciously touched upon the universal enigma, always under taboo around the sacred board. Stern eyes were fixed upon him.
"Wonder if you will," the Sage laid down the law, "but keep your womenture onto yourself. Things are always have been and always will be."
"How about Kansas weather?" the Economist couldn't keep out another question.
"Oh, that is the one eternal exception," answered the Sage very solemnly. And no one gainsaid him, not even the new abashed Wonderer.

Jayhawkers Returned From Disastrous Trip Losing 3 of 4 Games
Coach Hamilon's Men Lost One and Took One in Missouri Clash
Kansas used the same lineup against the Pikers as was used against Missouri in the final game. Captain Uhrlaub and Miller played the forward positions, Matthews was at center and Scrubby Laslett and Knoles held down the defensive positions. The Jayhawkers, as has been the case in nearly all of their games, played good basketball in the first part of the Washington games, only to lose their lead in the second half.
Shifted Lineup Beat Tigers
Kansas held her lead for only a few minutes in the second contest with the Pikers. Russell and Duncker, Washington forwards, along with Marquard, the tall center, caged goals and topped the Jayhawk lead, and the rest of the game was a runaway. Benway, the little forward who played so well in the seris here, got into the game in time to score three goals from the field and assist his team greatly in the victory. Marquard, as usual, was the heaviest scorer, with eight field goals and two free throws to his credit.
Coach Hamilton's Jayhawk player basketball team returned yesterday from one of the most disastrous road trips a Kansas team has made in recent years. After playing great basketball against the Tigers in the second game at Columbia, Thursday night, and handing Coach Meanwell's proteges their only defeat of the year, the Crimson and Blue quintet played to its reputation by spurs the pair of games to the Washington University Pikers on the St. Louis court. The Jayhawks lost the first contest by a margin of over fifteen points and the score in the second game was 32-18.
Rejuvenated Team Fails to Stop Piker Quintet at St.
The Jayhawkers will rest this week before taking on the Aggies in Manhattan next week for the final-series of the year.
SPORT BEAMS
Marquard of Washington didn't live up to his reputation in tossing free throws in the second Jayhawk-piker game. The St. Louis center threw only two goals in seven chances.
The Kansas Aggies made it two straight wins from Ames Saturday when they defeated the Iowa farmers to the tune of 22-18. Both teams had the same number of field goals, but the Kansans won out on free throws.
The Haskell Indian relay team has been matched with the quartet of quarter milers from William Jewel college for the big K. C. A. C. meet in Kansas City March 2.
Cargill Sproull, one of the best milers in the Missouri Valley last year and a member of the Jayhawker track team for the past three years, has been ordered to report at Urbana, Illinois, on March 2, to begin training for aviation.
Probably what will be the deciding series in the race for the basketball championship of the Missouri Valley will be played in Manhattan Wednesday and Thursday between the Aggies and the Missouri Tigers. Each team has lost one game and in each case the one loss has been to the Jayhawkers, while the Tigers have eleven wins to their credit and the Aggies have nine.
Joie Ray, the celebrated distance runner of the Chicago Athletic Club, and Schultz, star dash man of Missouri and holder of the Valley record last year in the hundred yard dash, will be entered in the K. C. A. C. meet March 2.
Engineers Meet in Marvin The Kansas branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers held its regular meeting at Marvin Hall last night. Three papers were read: "Description of the Keoku Hydro-electric Plant" by George Bowman, "Hydro-electric Development in the United States," by Howard Whistler, and "Description of the Topeka Edison Plant," by R. A. Warner. Seniors will report on their theses at later meetings of the institute.
German Gas Attacks New
At K. U.? Certainly Not
Sophomores Back in 1884 Made Successful Raid on Junior Festival
Gas attacks new? Why certainly not! University students discovered the usefulness of gases long before the Germans ever thought of such a thing. Evidences of this can be seen on the columns at the entrance of Spooner Library. More than thirty years ago, back in the early 80's one of the favorite stunts of the students was to break up the class parties.
In 1884 the junior class gave a party in Spooner Library on the second floor. The sophomores were excluded so they decided to make a gag attack on the snobbish juniors. After the party was in full swing some sophomores arrived upon the scene, ready for action. They poured carbon disulphide around the entrance of their hallway. This was almost as effective as any attack ever made by the Germans. It didn't entirely break up the party but according to Prof. E. F. Stimpson, it certainly added spice.
At this time the second floor of Spooner was unoccupied. The decorations were the same as now, with a different lighting system, however. Taking it as a whole it made an ideal place to hold social functions. One of the present seminar rooms at the west end of the floor was used as a kitchen and serving room and the other as a dressing room.
It was here student and faculty receptions were held. The faculty at his time was composed of about twelve members, and there were only a few hundred in the student body.
Coach Pratt Asks for Entries in Basketball
Representatives of teams may sign now for entrance to the women's intertermal basketball tournament. Coach Hazel Pratt wants each representative to enter their team as soon as possible so that she can arrange the hours for practice, which will begin next week.
John A. Montgomery, former sports editor of the Daily Kansas, has been made city editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, and will begin his work in that capacity today, taking the place of Gilbert Swenson, a student in the department of journalism last year, who has resigned as city editor of the Journal-World to accept a job on the Kansas City Star.
Any organized or unorganized group of women in the University may make up a team eligible for entrance to the tournament.

High Art Camouflage
Makes Museum Trees
When it comes to real camouflage, the trees in Dyche Museum can hold their own, quite probably, with most anything on the French front. Tall, magnificent trees they seem—until C. D. Bunker, assistant curator of the museum, betrays their real nature. Since the large cement supporting pillars of the museum were not desirable in a forest scene they were converted into trees. Around each pillar was built a frame work of wood, then upon this wood handfuls of cement plaster mixed with straw pulp were thrown. By means of stick and hand it was scratched, pressed, and patted into bark-like form and allowed to dry. Result, a tree, to all appearances, but don't look behind it for it merely puts up a good front.
On the banks of the museum pond which provides a home for some hundred or more goldfish are five or six small trees each in full leaf. Each tree has from a thousand to two thousand leaves, each of these leaves has been dried, cured and painted with coats of yellow or green paint and spotted with brown. Each leaf is separately wired to its respective twig and the wire covered with wax. Ten thousand leaves, think of it and then think of having to make them sometime when you are all crabby because you are sick of the monotony of the work.
Classic Teachers To Confer
The association of classical departments of secondary and higher schools of Kansas and western Missouri will meet here April 20. Prof. J. G.

War Council Hesitant On Wooden Bird Plan
Although through their chairman, Prof. G. C. Shaad, the Finance Committee of the University War Council will announce next Monday their plans for the Baby Bond campaign, they are not ready yet to use the suggested plan of rivalling the wooden von Hindenburg with a wooden Jayhawker. Drive a nail for a dime and see the dime go towards the cost of way — is the big idea in the wooden bird plan. Professor Shaad said that the proposition had by no means been discarded, however, and that it might be carried out after the serious inception of the campaign was over.

And $25,000 was expended for newspaper publicity.
The result was as usual-advertising played more than the necessary part-for when the returns were finally counted their constructive campaign had brought 400,000 additional members.

To Choose Contestants In Annual Beauty Race By Petition This Year
NUMBER 97.
Contest Starts Monday, Davia Announcees; Candidates Must Have 25 Signers
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 26, 1918.
Will Continue Two Weeks
Candidates in the annual Jayhawk beauty contest will be nominated by petition, this year, instead of by a group of seniors on the Jayhawk staff, as has been the custom in the past. The contest will be called "The Kansas Girl Contest," and contestants will compete on the basis of beauty and popularity. These announcements were made this morning by Don Davis, manager of the book.
A Vote for Every Cent Paid Jayhawker; Eight Winners Get Page Each
Any woman in the University may become a candidate in the contest if a petition endorsing such candidacy, signed by twenty-five students, is presented to the annual management before next Monday noon. The contest will start next Monday and continue for two weeks. Every person who buys a Jayhawker is entitled to vote in the contest, one vote being given for each cent paid into the annual fund.
The eight women receiving the highest number of votes will each be given a page of space in the "Our Kansas Girls" section of the Jayhawker. This section is to be unusually handsome this year, according to Davis. It will be printed in duotone ink on specially prepared paper; and promises to be the most elaborate "beauty section" that has yet appeared in a Jayhawker.
"The beauty section has become a recognized feature of the Jayhawker," said Davis this morning, "and ever since the first section of that kind, appearing in the 1915 annual, the beauty contest idea has been growing in popularity. This year, we hope to popularize it even more; and by requiring nomination petitions I am sure we shall do away with a lot of unfairness that has accompanied some previous contests. Three faculty men will be asked to serve as judges when the votes are counted on March 16.
Team Begins Practice For Games with Aggies
Petitions may be turned in to either Harry Morgan, editor of the book, or Davis, the manager, any time before Monday noon of next week. The Jayhawker office in the Daily Kansan building is open from 10 to 11 a.m. and from 1 to 4 p. m. daily except Saturday.
Intensive Training for Fina Series of the Season to Start Tomorrow
The Kansas basketball team will start intensive practice for their series of games with the Aggies at Manhattan on March 4 and 5, Wednesday afternoon. The team cannot use the gym today because of convocation.
The Kansans have been inconsistent all season and expect to show something in these two final games of the season. The Aggies must beat Kansas to remain in the championship race in the valley. The K. U. team won one game from the Aggies here and expect to put a crimp in the farmers' championship prospects next week when they meet at Manhattan
Need Red Cross Nurses Miss W. Pearl Martin, secretary of the Kansas State Association of Nurses will speak in Room 101, Fraser Hall, Thursday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. University women are invited and urged to attend. The Association of Nurses is trying to bring to the attention of college women the urgent need at present for nurses and conditions of training for the work. The campaign is undertaken with the approval of W. C. Gorgas, United States Army Surgeon General.

Fire Caused by Phenol In Leaky Can Exploding
A fire in the Chemistry Building, caused by an explosion was put out by the janitor and several of the students yesterday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock. Quick use of a hose on the same floor stopped the blaze from spreading.
A can containing several pound of carboic acid was put on a hot plate to melt. The exact cause of the explosion is not known, but the general supposition of the faculty members in the department is that the solder of the can melted and the material caught fire.
The alarm was turned in but before the city firemen reached the scene, the blaze had been put out with water and chemicals which were in the building. A loss of from $50 to $75 was the result of the fire and water, said Prof. F. B. Dains, this morning.

Four Letter Men Will Form Nucleus for This Year's Team
Practice For Baseball Commences On McCook At 4 o'Clock Tomorrow
Will Play Twelve Games
Missouri, Ames, and Kansas are Only Contestants in Valley Race
Candidates for the freshman baseball team have been ordered to report at McCook Field tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock for the first outdoor practice of the season. If the weather permits, Coach Bond intends to give the men a good workout and he has ordered each man to bring a glove and ball.
There was no practice this afternoon for either Varsity or freshman, but the Varsity candidates will work out in the gymnasium tomorrow afternoon between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock. Battery candidates have already begun limbering up their arms and getting them in good condition for the beginning of outdoor practice.
The Jayhawkers will play twelve conference games this year and will open the season here with Ames as their opponents, April 22, 23 and 24. Only Kansas, Missouri and Ames will play baseball in the Missouri Valley, as the other schools have dropped the national game for the period of the war. To cut the expense to the minimum, all the games will be played in four series of three games each. Three are scheduled with Missouri to be played on McCook Field and three on Rollins Field at Columbia, while three contests will be played at Ames and the Iowa Farmers meet the Crimson and Blue nine in a trio of games here at the opening of the season.
The Daily Kansan—a daily letter home.
...
The name of W. W. Davis, instructor of war at 4 o'clock is included in the list. His class of more than two hundred men in drill have been held from five to seventeen minutes overtime practically every day since the new semester.
Coach Bond has four men with experience on the Varsity team as a nucleus around which to build his nine. These men are Wardie Weltmer, "K" man and right fielder on the 19th team, Dutch Schoenfeld, who won his "K" at second base on last year's nine, Stem Foster, who played an infield position during the latter part of last season and Julian Stephenson, an outfielder who got into several games in 1917. It was thought that Joe Pratt, Varsity shortstop last year who has enlisted in the navy, would be able to return to school and hold down his old position, but Coach Bond received a letter from Pratt recently in which the little shortstop stated that he was sick and would not be able to enroll.
The fourteen men from Potsy Clark's 1917 freshman squad who are in school are strong possibilities for winning regular positions this year and most of the men are limbering up every day in the gymnasium. The freshmen back are: Bunn and Davis, catchers; Schoppel, Calper, Beiser, and Slawson, pitchers; Machamer, Isenberger, Lonborg, Cherry and Convis, infielders; and Smith, Oyster and Willhelmy, outfielders.
The Kansan hasn't run the names of the profs who hold their classes overtime for some months.
The enlistment of Captain-elect Nick Carter has left the team without a leader, but there is no need for a captain at present and the new leader will not be chosen until the team is picked, which will probably be early in April.
Seventy men are enrolled for baseball, including both upperclassmen and freshmen, and this list includes many promising players who have never been out for the nine here, but who are eligible to play on the Varsity this year. With the veterans, last year's freshman, and the new men, Coach Bond expects to get together a good team by the time of the first series with Ames.
There may be others. Let the Kansan know about them.
Earl Keilman Is First K. U. Man To Return From Oversea Service
First Lieutenant In American Heavy Artillery Released Because of Poor Health
Flew Across Enemy's Lines
Reports That German Prisoners Do Not Want to Go Back
The first student to come back from active service in France is Earl Kellman, who returned from France a week ago Saturday after being at the front as a first lieutenant in the American heavy artillery about four months. Keilman was sent home because of a defect in his lungs discovered by French physicians. He is now at work as city editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World.
At the time of the entrance of this country into the war Keilman was an artillery man at Fortress Monroe. He obtained his commission as first lieutenant at an officers' training camp and was sent across in command of ninety-four other officers many of whom were first lieutants.
Kleiman, who was a student in the department of journalism at the University several years ago, has since been in the newspaper game and in the regular army as an artillery specialist. He was working on a down-town paper when his health failed and he was forced to give up his school work. That was in his junior year. He remained in Lawrence a few months longer and then went to Topeka and was on the staff of papers there. He then went to Manhattan. He was made a member of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity, while there.
While in France Lieutenant Kielman saw many things that would make good newspaper stories. He is writing interesting bits of his experiences daily. He was in the front line trenches of both the French and the English, and on one occasion went across the enemy's lines with a French observer in his airplane. They were not hit and neither of the men in the airplane seemed the least bit concerned about the bullets flying about them.
Another time he was in charge of a portion of the heavy artillery when the shell fire of Huns tore up the track on which the guns were being hauled into firing position. While the track was being repaired the Huns began to get their range, but the artillerymen were able to move on before their exact location was discovered.
Architects Entertained Students in Fine Arts
"The German prisoners are a happy lot," said Kelman. "It is more a matter of formality that one Frenchman is placed on guard over a bunch of forty or fifty Germans. They do not care to go back, for they will have to fight. Where they are they get good food and clothing and a place to sleep until the war is over, and they are safe.
The Architectural Engineering Society entertained the department of drawing and painting of the School of Fine Arts in the lecture room of Marvin Hall Friday night. A four-act program was given, followed by an exhibition of drawings done by the department of architectural engineering. The remainder of the program consisted of dancing.
Among the drawings in the exhibit were the five recently submitted to the Beaux Art Institute of Design of New York. Four of the five drawings submitted received honors. A drawing by Rollie Brown received first mention place, while drawings by Paul Strickland, William Icenhower, and Ernest Pickerling each received mentions. The Beaux Arts Institute is the institute of highest award in the country.
Entertaining features of the propram consisted of songs by a chorus, a short skit, vaudeville acts and monologues. Refreshments of cider and gingerbread were served at a miniature bar. Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong, Prof. and Mrs. Geo. C. Shaad, and Prof. and Mrs. W. S. Hekking and Prof. and Mrs. Frazier of the School of Fine Arts were honorary guests.
Women Required to Go To Conservation Lecture
The first lecture on Food and the War will be given at 4 o'clock Wednesday in Fraser Hall by E. D. Tector, of the department of home economics. The government has requested every University in the country to hold these lectures so that the women when they leave school this summer will know how to put into practical effect rules on food conservation.
Every woman in the University is required to attend these lectures. She will be checked and for one cut will be withdrawn from her classes until the work is made up. To make up the absence a course of assigned reading will be given and a quiz will have to be taken on the assignment at some 5 o'clock hour.
Plain Tales From The Hill
At a meeting of the Mathematician Club Monday afternoon, the mathematical basis of card tricks was illustrated. Beware, then, of these Math-ers the next time you associate with them lest it might be they have profited by their illustrations. Your royal flush might turn out to be the absolute zero of hands, or your king change to a serf-er, that is, a two-spot.
WHEN STRONG WINDS BLOW Grouped around the table last night, they were discussing the Mt. Oread pastime, wind. The main question was, "What is the windiest place on the Hill."
The person that goes to classes via the Museum stood up for the corner by that building, coming to blows with the engineer who uphold his favorite haunts. The journalist called the corner he turns to go to the Medicine basement the windiest place, while the physicist opposed him by suggesting Blake Hall. A chemistry student growled about the corners of the Chemistry Building, but one who had chased his hat half a dozen times during the day insisted that no part of a hillon could be windier than another.
No, Algernon, not all of the girls wearing the cards with two notes printed on them are named "Grace."
The newly made corporal fussed around quite a time yesterday afternoon after drill, trying to get the names of the men. His men had given their names and were leaving when said corporal rushed among them.
Bedtime forced them to agree to settle the argument by inspecting all parts of the room. And then today, oh sadness, the breeze came only with abated breath.
"Oh," said the corporal, "I never thought of that. I do belong in there somewhere."
The actions and maneuvers of most of the soldiers that visit the University lead some persons to believe that there is much danger of engagements. Nc repulse will be made, it is assumed.
"Did you give me your name?" he asked each of them. They said they had. "But I've only seven names," he reasoned. A fellow in arms whispered in his ear.
Winifred Wygall Tells Of the Y.W.C.A. Work In the Present War
Two more plays for the popular play series have been selected and work begun on them. The date for their presentation has been set for the second week in March. Definite announcement will be made later.
A woman in one of the zoology classes is too short to peer into the microscope as it stands upon a work table. Consequently the instructor dug up a cheese box to increase the height of his student.
Two Dramas "Hiramones" and "Burglars" two one-cue dramas will be given by two casts chosen from the applicants for admission to the Dramatic Club, at the Little Theater in Green Hall, Wednesday night at 7:30 o'clock.
This only made more trouble for the woman, as there was every likl hood that some troublesome perso would steal the precious box. He solution is to put the box on a big shelf when she is not using it, a thin she can do only by climbing on to of the highest chair in the room.

Association Has Met Need of Caring for Women at Camps
Hostess Houses Resulted
"The Best Investment of the Cantonment," Says Major John C. Lee
"The whole W. Y. C. A. program is the outgrowth of an emergency which arose at the beginning of the war and which, because of the organization and efficiency of the Young Women's Christian Association was possible to meet," said Miss Winifred Wygall, who has charge of all work among the women at Camp Funston, in her talk at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. at Myers Hall this afternoon on "The War Program of the Y. W. C. A. at Home and Abroad." "When the United States entered the war the government realized that the problem of caring for the women in the army was one to be speedily considered, and they began to look around for the organization that could handle the situation. As a result they found the Y. W. C. A. equal to the occasion and that organization has carried on the work successfully for the last nine months."
Miss Wygall outlined two divisions into which the work of the Y. W. C. A. has fallen since they undertook the task. First it was their duty to care for the girls in the neighboring communities of the various camps, to provide a natural society life, organize clubs, and supervise entertainment and recreation of the towns. Later there was a demand for classes in French and knitting, which were established.
Before long there arose the necessity for caring for women who visited the camps. Out of this grew the Hostectess House, which is now established in fifty places in the United States, and whose success has caused the government to ask the association for thirty more. These houses contain a check room, office, waiting room, lavatories, an elaborate catera, and a large veranda. They do not provide lodging over night but references are given to nearby houses for the accomodation of the travelers. She emphasized the fact that the Y. W. A. is in many ways opposition to the Y. M. C. A., whose building is to look after the men of the camps. Soldiers come to the house to get a taste of home life, a piece of homemade pie, or a little of the atmosphere of home. Major John C. Lee, recently said to an assembly of men, "I consider the Y. W. C. A. Hostess House the best investment of the cantonment. The soldiers call it home."
In response from a call from the French for the Y. W. C. A. to provide recreation and rest for the thousands of women working in the munitions factories, Miss Wygall pointed out that twenty-three secretaries wearing the Y. W. C. A. are now in France. They have established lunch rooms, soup kitchens, and hotels, and have organized clubs for the girls.
Egg Substitutes Tested And Found Unnecessary
Eggno, Eggoe, Egnit, and Agosave have been thoroughly tested by Prof. Walter S. Long, state food analyst. The conclusions reached prove that the housekeeper does not need to add these egg substitutes to her cake mixture to make a success of the cake.
Harriett Stevenson, c18, has made the practical tests for these substitutes. Cakes with the Eggno, Eggee, Eggnit and Agesave; a cake with egg, and one without egg were made and compared. Aside from an added color there is very little difference in the appearance of the cakes. As the substitutes contain about 50 per cent of starch, the nutritive value is increased. The cost of the cake varies only slightly from one made with egg.
Hamilton Calls for Sweaters
All University women who have been knitting sweaters for enlisted men are being asked by W. O. Hamilton tc turn in the sweaters immediately. If this is not done, he said this morning, they will be practically useless for present needs.

"ANY RAGS, ANY BOTTLES, ETC."
Yesterday there appeared in Fraser a big long mysterious box with a large card attached and on the card the word "Salvage." Beneath this strange term appeared a motely array of articles such as; tin-foil, tooth paste tubes, cold cream jars, powder cans, medicine bottles, fruit jar tops, electric light bulbs, brass, iron, copper, aluminum.
No this is not a grab box at a surprise party, but simply a means for the people of the University to show their patriotism, and economic thrift. All the people of the University are asked to save any of the mentioned articles, and to place them in this box in Fraser. Most of the salvage will be sold here in town and the proceeds will go directly to the University Red Cross.
This is a chance for people to show their new economical, and conserving policies, as well as an example of intense patriotism. By the saving and observing of these little things you are making a direct contribution to the Red Cross as well as to democracy and freedom.
QUARANTINE THE MEASLES!
German measles are still thriving among the student body. The epidemic broke out just after vacation, and because of the great number of people exposed it has never died out, but has wound a devious trail from house to house. Students affected with the disease have grown careless and inconsiderate of their fellows, and have spread the epidemic by shamelessly appearing in classes and at public gatherings merely because they were not so ill that they must of necessity stay in bed.
The epidemic happens to be of a relatively light form of measles, a case of which lasts only three or four days. In many cases an attack does not involve any keen suffering. Exposure or taking cold at this time, however, is very likely to cause permanent impairment of sight or hearing, and possible an affection of the glands in the throat. But the important consideration is the spreading of the disease among the students, the letting the measles go the rounds attacking especially those who are below normal physically forcing upon them in varying degrees suffering, impairment of health, inconvenience and expense.
Those students who are inconsiderate enough to turn their measles attack into a Roman holiday by attending "movies, visiting in the various rooms of the house, going to parties, or by attending classes should feel the health force of public opinion. If their sensibilities seem blunted, then it is time to report them to the University health authorities.
"OH! SAY CAN YOU SEE?" Yes, the dolorous sight is plainly discernible. The cacophonous strains of "Wiedie's" electric organ begin to wall but the opening bars of the "Star Spangled Banner." The stars in our immortal banner jig to syncopated time as the carol gets up momentum.
The hundred add students who are refreshing themselves at this hallowed retreat slowly and wearily divorced themselves from the straws connecting them with their chocolate malted's and gather moral patriotism to watch their ice cream melt as they rise from their chairs and prepared to stand through all five verses of their national anthem.
Meanwhile, Meplomenc, frantic,
hovers over the scene of the musical
murder.
The dignity and quiet of a fifty-year-old institution at the University is broken by the presence of a blunt art risping, but newly oiled and varnished, musical machine. It's rendition of "Love O' Mike" is cheap enough, but it's "Star Spangled Banner" is comparable only to a hurdury-gurdy's version of "Lead Kindly Light." The very gods weep, and University students are bored and revolted at such a desecration of our national anthem.

FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
Just fifty-nine per cent of the executives of the fourteen divisions of the American Red Cross are women.
A salvage basket in every house will make the matron feel like a cheese-filled mouse.
Louise Geloke, seventy years of age, is totally blind yet she has knitted twenty pairs of socks for the Red Cross. She has taught her granddaughter to knit as well. She lives in Antigo, Wisconsin.
The championship amonglord-of-all-creation knitters of the U. S. A. is claimed by Bill Myers of Bartlesville, Oka. He is 64 years old and an ex-pugilist, at least in so far as he once boxed four rounds with the late John L. Sullivan when the old champ was in training for his battle with Jake Kilrain. Myers works as long as there is light to see and declares his record higher than any American male accomplishment.
The Red Cross chapter at Atchison has ben mystified by a knitter who did unusually god work but sent the articles by messenger to the Red Cross. The messenger steadfastly refused to tell who the sender was. Some "Burns Detective"-probably a woman—traced the mystery to its source! A bachelor banker, L. H. Munson, president of the Atchison Savings Bank admits his guilt. He can cast on and cast off. He can lose a stitch and pick it up. He can purl and make a Kitchertee toe, make ribbed sweaters, widen and narrow. He learned to knit as a boy in Sweden.
"Yeah, that swell dancer over there is Blink," said the Senior as he straightened the Freshie's tie, between dances. "He started out like you're doing, went to all the dances and what-not. His main amish was to be a "fusser." If he could only dance like one of the "frat" brothers; if he could only kid the women like Smith, the social idol; if he could only get by on greased bearings in the social whirl. But listen, Kid, the times have changed for him. Yep, he's a Senior. He knows—they all know he's a failure. Oh yes, the women like him, in his place, on the wax-floor. But I guess he's got a slant that he's just one among the many, a trailer behind the real works. When the big things come off, he's left out. Don't think he cares, huh? You tell 'em he does, a whole lot more than he lets on. Just a little mistake in getting started, that's all."

Entire University Asked To Unite In Campaign For Sale of Baby Bonds
Savings
Faculty and Students to be Pledged to Frugality and
The big "Baby Bond" drive will be on at K.U. within a few days. The University will be expected to do its part in the nation-wide campaign for the disposal of two billion dollars of War Savings Stamps.
"That the University may support the government in this drive," said Prof. G. C. Shand, chairman of the finance committee of the War Council, "we propose that the University as a whole form a War Savings Society, and that members of the society will each invest at the rate of a sum of twenty dollars for a period of last sixteen weeks, and about the equivalent of one War Savings Stamp. Every student, faculty member, and employee should enroll as members of this society. To join one must sign this pledge;
I pledge myself (1) to systematic saving; (2) to refrain from unnecessary expenditures and the purchase of nonessentials in order that labor and material now employed in the production of articles not necessary to my health and efficiency may be released for the production of those articles and supplies which the United States needs for the support of our army and Navy; (3) to my earnest efforts to encourage thrift and economy to enrich our community and to secure other members for this society; and (4) to invest in United States War-Savings Stamps, and Thrift Stamps and to encourage others to do so."
There will be no organization luncheon and no convoitation but the proposition is as serious and as important as any ever undertaken by the institution. The loyalty of the University will, in a measure, be checked by the response, declares Mr. Shaad.

At the University Club they have be quarreling over apples and cookies, holding family rows in the closet, and chasing one another over beds at night—deplorable state of affairs—trying in the extreme to the delicate nerves of the Economist from New York. The climax came Saturday morning when he found that his treasure chest had been invaded the previous night.
Accordingly he began planning methods of extermination. He wanted something efficient—cheese and a trap! That was the idea. He was so enthusiastic over it that he stayed away from the University party to put it into effect. He set his trap with cheese, and being an Economist, went to bed thinking to rest while waiting for the arrival of the thief or thieves. The suspense was dreadful! Sleep was quite impossible. Suddenly Snake the trap and Squeak! woke the thief. The Economist loved from the床 and reeled the poor suffering we mouse, reeled the trap and got back under the cover. Three times this happened and the next morning the victorious conqueror of the three wee mice missed his breakfast, but appeared at lunch rubbing his eyes but triumphant.
Inspired by his example, the Geologist from Boston, decided to set a trap and try out a new "idear." He didn't use cheese, not he! He used candy. The result was a sleepless night but four mice caught.
The Economist had set his trap again with cheese and caught no mice—but he slept better. He's satisfied even though the score stands four to three but they are both going to try again tonight. The kind of bait to be used is a dark secret, but it is to be neither cheese nor candy.
3-Ring Circus Will Beat Barnum, Bailey

Two Kansas Track Men Will Compete Saturday In Meet At Urbana, Ill
Rice and Haddock Entered— Others Will Contest at K. C. A. C. Games
Carl Rice and Marshall Haddock Kansas stars in the high jump and the dashes, will go to Urbana, Ill. Saturday to compete in the big invitation indoor meet. This is one of the largest indoor meets of the year and is held on a cinder truck.
Tryouts for the K. C. A. C. meet in Convention Hall, Kansas City Saturday will be held Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. From these try-outs the team that goes to Kansas City Saturday will be picked. A fairly large team will probably be taken although the exact number will not be known until Thursday when the names of the men going will be announced.
This is the one meet in which freshmen are eligible and several will be taken. The two Bradleys from Cherocoe, Okla., are the only freshmen who are reasonably sure of entering. Fishers are the only who are showing up well in practice.
The K. C. A. C is the first big meet in the valley and will probably produce some comparative dope on the annual Kansas-Missouri meet to be held in Convention Hall March 16. Several entries of national reputation appear on the list.
Coach Hamilton is back again working with his men after almost a week's absence with the basketball team and with the help of Fred Rodkey, assistant coach, is rounding the team up. Coach Hamilton wants every man out Wednesday for the tryouts.
SPORT BEAMS
Lieut. Bonnie Reber, captain of the Jayhawker track team in 1916 and winner of "K's" in track, football and basketball, was in the gymnasium yesterday looking over the thack team. Lieutenant Reber is located at Camp Funston.
The final series for the Crimson and Blue basketball team will be played in Manhattan March 4 and 5 with Coach Clevenger's Kansas Aggies.
Camp Funston will enter one of the strongest relay teams in the Missouri Valley in the K. C. A. C. meet Saturday night at Convention Hall. The soldiers will be represented by Daggy, Wyatt and Renick, all Tiger quarter milers last year, and Bailey, another speedster of considerable ability.
The Oklahoma University basketball team inched the state championship last week by defeating the fast Chilcoo Indians, 36-29 and walloping the Oklahoma Aggies, 27-19 The Chilcoo team had previously beaten the Sooners.
The McPherson high school quintet won the championship of McPheron county Saturday by defeating the Lindsborg and Moundridge fives.
Dr. W. E. Meanwell, athletic director at Missouri and coach of the Tiger basketball team, has established a real record as a basketball coach. Out of 166 games played by teams coached by the Tiger mentor at Wisconsin and Missouri, Meanwell's men have won 155 games and lost 10.
Ottawa's defeat of Baker last Friday night gives the Baptists practically a clear path to the State Conference title. Only four games remain to be played by the Ottawans, and three of them are against weak teams. The Bethany Swedes still remain in the race, but their chance of winning the championship is small.
Seven basketball games and one wrestling meet have netted the government $215.96 in the form of war tax at Ames. The Ames-Drake basketball game netted almost $50 in war tax alone.
The annual second district basketball tournament will be held at Baldwin March 1 and 2. The winners will probably be strong contestants for the state title in the tournament here March 22 and 23.
Coach Jumbo Stiehm of Indiana University has announced a full schedule of eight games for his football team next fall.
The basketball team of the W. A. board makes formal announcement of their challenge to the W. S. G. A team in the intermural basketball tournament which is to take place in March. The latter team should appoint their leader to confer with Doris Drought, leader of the W. A. A.'s as soon as possible.

Food Lectures Prepare Women for Part in War
Mrs. E. D. Teeter Tells Need of Closer Application of
"Women of the University should consider the requirements for attending the food conservation lectures as a preparation for the part they are to play in the war," said Mrs. E. D. Teeter of the department of home economics today. Every woman should realize the necessity of food control in America. We do not want it to be necessary for the government to pass laws saying what we shall eat and how much we shall have.
"The lectures will show us how to economize and what to eliminate. Since food is such an important item in this war, it is necessary for the women to realize how much kitchen training is needed in the homes. While a few of our women are needed in France, the majority of them can do more good here at home working out the big problem of food supply.
Economy
"A great deal can be done by our University women by their influence in their own home towns. The ideas and methods presented in these lectures should be carried home by the women. If each woman would do her part, we could produce a better food supply, which is needed in Europe could be greatly increased."
The first lectures on food conservation will be given in Fraser chapel Wednesday, February 27, at 4 o'clock

War Savings Societies To Be Formed In K.U. In National Campaign
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 27. 1918.
Professor Shaad in Charge o Drive Urges Students to Join En Masse
NUMBER 98.
Sensible Saving is Required
For the first time since the raising of the Students Friendship Fund last fall the University is asked this week to express its loyalty by giving financial aid to the Government. A drive is being launched by the Finance Committee of the War Council to enlist student and faculty support in the disposal of the $2,000,000,000 issue of War Savings Stamps.
The Finance Committee is not planning a spectacular campaign. It depends upon the loyalty of each individual to the Government and his willingness to join a War Savings Society.
Members are Asked to Save Systematically as Their Means Permit
Applications for membership in such a society will be sent to every member of the University next Friday
"A War Savings Society is a voluntary association of ten or more persons, who, from patriotic motives, pledge themselves to save systematically as much as their means permit, and to lend the same to the United States in the medium of War Savings Stamps" said G. E. Shaad this morning.
FORM SAVINGS SOCIETY
"Each member further pledges himself to work earnestly to enlist other members and to promote the formation of other societies. There is no limit to the number of associations to which one many belong. By April the membership in such societies over the country should reach thirty million.
WANT LARGE MEMBERSHIP
Bayonet Practice Goes On Without Bayonets
"Is there any reason why every person connected with this Institution should not join a University of Kansas War Savings Society? Application blanks will be presented to all students and faculty members within a few days.
"The University should report a one hundred per cent membership by the first of March. A prompt response will save the Finance Committee from making a personal appeal."
The Manual of the Bayonet has been taken up by the 4 o'clock drill company under W. W. Davis, instructor of war, the captains of the various companies are handling the work. Two hundred men are being given instruction in both the defensive and offensive handling of the bayonet.
Only the simple movements have been given so far, but dummies are now being constructed for more practical work. Although the guns used by the drill companies, have not been equipped with bayonets the principle of handling them may be successfully learned.
Walter Havekors, formerly president of the Men's Student Council, is now on his way from Hanover, Kansas, his home, to Berkeley, Cal., where he will conduct a civil aviation work. He has been in Hanover while awauring his transition.
Haveckor is only one of the many prominent students who have left to join the army; yet his loss has been keenly felt in University life. He was a prominent student during his three years on the Hill, and, as president of the college, he helped to bring about reform this year. He was active in dramas and was also business manager of the "Sour Owl" last year.

Bolshevik Chaos Caused By Sins Of Monarchy, Declares Dr. Harper
Repressed for Centuries Russi'sans go to Extreme with Liberty, Says Lecturer
Russia May Yet Restore Orde And Oust Germans, Chicago University Man Says
Ask Patience for Slavs
The world should be patient with Russia whose chaotic situation is due to the sins of the old monarchical regime, believes Dr. Samuel Harper, former interpreter for the American Emperor Progreg, and former professor of Russia at Chicago who spoke before the University at convocation Tuesday.
"Russia may well be considered an experimental laboratory." Dr. Harper said, "and failures of the Bolshevik to cause a natural readjustment of affair should be taken as a lesson by the world.
"Little sympathy should be given to the Bolshisevist party for whatever good has resulted from the revolution" the speaker pointed out. "The real good was done by the original revolutionary party which was loyal in its motives."
CREDIT DUE ORIGINAL PARTY
Send the Daily Kansan Home.
"The first revolution was brought about when its leaders realized that the monarchial government was absolutely false to the cause of Russia. It must be remembered that although only equipped and sometimes fighting troops were sent, Russian troops did marvelously well in the first months of the war.
VICTIM OF OLD REGIME
"Russia is the victim of a disease that requires heroic treatment. The power of the Bolshevist element represents an effort to readjust affairs. The failure of the Bolshevhi to do this is due directly to the sins of the masses, which are long kept the masses in a state of fear and ignorance that now that they have the power they do not know how to use it.
"Leaders of the original revolution by which the monarchy was overthrown were sincere to the revolutionary cause. They were inexperienced, however, and the ideas of the Bosshevik appealed greatly to the masses. Although Russia is out of power, they could remembr that they would have been out long ago but for the sincere efforts of the revolutionary leaders.
LEADERS INEXPERIENCED
In spite of the discouraging outlook, Doctor Harper said that there was still hope for Russia's support of the Allies. The American Red Cross still works in Russia and a campaign of publicity is being carried on to win sympathy for America.
Over 500,000 men are in training today. In a few months there will be a million. Although the American army is known as the healthiest in the world there is bound to be need of doctors and nurses and hospital equipment. Two thousand women have been assigned to active service in cantonment hospitals. Many thousands more women will be needed.
If America is going to win the war more women must become nurses. At present there are about 7,000 nurses in active service. Men are being called to serve by hundreds of women whom they will be cared for when they are sick and wounded depends on the women of this country.
"After the revolution the Russian acted on their motto, "We must win the war to preserve the revolution." The ruling council represented every class. But the leaders were inexperienced and German propagandists could not be stopped.
"The Bolshevist movement resonances the principle that government must have leaders. In Bolsheism every man is a leader."
A three semester plan which will carry the school through the entire calendar year has been decided upon for the University of Missouri by its curators. The object of the plan is to permit the agricultural students to go home during the planting and harvesting season.

Try-Outs For K.C.A.C Invitation Meet Held Today In Robinson Gyn
Rice and Haddock Unable to Enter Because of Urbana Train
Freshmen to Enter Contest
Kansas Will Meet Nebraska ir
The Relay—Haskell vs.
William Jewel
Tryouts for the men who will represent the University of Kansas in the annual K. C. A. C. track meet Saturday night in Convention Hall, Kansas City, are being held this afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium. K. U. will send a full team with the exception of Rice and Haddock who will go to Urbana, Illinois, to compete in the second annual indoor invitation athletic carnival of the University of Illinois Saturdays. Rice will enter the high jump and Haddock the sprints.
The Jayhawker track team last week won its first meet and there is some promising material on the new squad. Freshmen will be eligible for the Kansas City meet which is an invitation affair open to all athletes. Coach W. O. Hamilton is pleased with the work of Heizer, Fischer, Little, and the Bradley boys from Oklahoma.
The relay events probably will be the most popular events in all meets. Kansas drew the Cornhuskers for opponents in this event. The Haskell Indians drew the William Jewell relay team for opponents.
These first year men are expected to make up for the loss of Rice and Haddock so the team will have practice again some strength as in the Agric meet.
The meet is open to high and ward schools and 290 contestants have already entered from twenty-eight schools according to Dr. J. A. Reilley, athletic director of the club who has charge of the meet.
Gold, silver, and bronze medals will be given for first, second, and third places in all of the handicap and scratch events. Each man on the team may team will receive a gold shield. The meet will start at 8 o'clock.
Men's Glee Club Will Sing At Leavenworth And Funston In March
Definite Plans Have Been Made For Free Concerts at Cantonments
A trip to Leavenworth for a one night stand is also practically assured by Manager Raymond Darby. These two trips will be the only ones taken by the men this year. A trip of several days duration had been planned. Another home concert will be given by the club sometime in April. Prof. J. A. Farrell is giving the club a new series of songs, and an entirely new masterpiece. Marvin Darhy has appointed John R. W. Halstead and Marvin Harmus to aid him in putting on the second concert here. It is the present plan of the committee to prepare a series of specialty nets that will make the program varried and give the entire concert a new setting.
It has been definitely decided that the men's Glee Club will take the trip to Camp Funston for a three days stand late in March. The club will give a series of short concerts during each day and evening, each concert lasting about 45 minutes. The purpose of the short concert is to let every soldier in the camp have a chance to participate. The T. Y. M. C. A. at the camp has charge of the concerts which are entirely free to soldiers.
Twenty members were at rehearsal last night and were enthusiastic at the announcement that the trips to Funston and Leavenworth would be taken. All members who have not been present this semester should either plan on regular attendance or band in their resignations Mr. Farrell said. A number of the last semester's members have withdrawn from school leaving vacancies. These have not been all filled and any student desirous of making the club should call Prof. Joseph A. Farrell at 1008 Tennessee Street.
Welcome Men Desiring
To Hear Food Talks
"I see no reason why men should not attend the series of food conservation lectures, beginning this afternoon, although their attendance is not required" said Mrs. E. D. Teetor of the home economics department, this morning.
Some of the men who have expressed a desire to attend the lectures but have not been sure that their presence would be desired will be interested in this statement from Mrs. Tector: "The lectures are so arranged that they will be of interest to both men and women.
Plain Tales From The Hill
OSTRACIZED!
As if men don't eat or don't need instruction in Hooverizing. Just think, all of the women in the whole University at a meeting and the men not even so much as invited.
The men of the University feel slighted, yes, are slighted. Here the women club together and attend food conservation lectures once every two weeks without so much as a thought for their masculine schoolmates.
Several young women needed some talcum powder for make-up in a play for the dramatic art class. They searched two sorority houses and one women's rooming house and didn't find a bit. No, actually, not a bit! At least, that's the story they tell.
Among those who enrolled in the University late is Early Chestnut, a student in the college.
HOW TO PRONOUNCESKY
**HOW TO PRONUNCE KNISKY**
At last the truth is known. The word we've murmured over or rushed through in a hit or miss fashion has been pronounced.
Dr. Samuel Harper, who has taught Russian, lived in Russia, and imbibed the language freely, called it "Bolshe-vee-kee" with an an o in doll, staccato on the bol, the she slighted, and interest sustained throughout the remaining two syllables.
The Nu Sigma Nu's have a man who does the hula hula so well that they are thinking of chipping in and buying a grass dress for him.
The education seminar in Spooner has felt the touch of what it thought at the time was a German raid. Sarah Bingham, c-ed'18, was sitting at one of the tables yesterday studying, when a falling object struck her head, rummling her hair, and making her jump.
She looked up, thoroughly frightened, only to be missed narrowly by something else. A third onslaught caused a change of positions of the persons in the vicinity and convinced them that the plastering was in a weak and precarious condition.
One woman who wants to lose several unnecessary pounds of flesh and who does not wish to seem to be reducing has adopted a novel plan. Every time she comes to the table she brings up the subject of the starving soldiers in the prison camps and then she shudders, murmuring, "Those poor things, I can't eat when I think of them." She leaves the table while the other women wonder how any one can be so tender hearted.
H. S. Debating League
Holds Finals March 22
The date for the final debate of the Kansas High School Debating League which will be held here has been set for March 22. Only two debates are now needed to determine the teams who will come to Lawrence. These are Meriden vs. Washington, and Argonia vs. Burlington. An honorable mention team was awarded the winner of the final wrangle. A like cup smaller in size has been given to the winners of each district.
The question used for the league this year is "Resolved, that the United States should establish a more extensive system of shipping subsidies." The league is a prominent institution in high schools this being the eighth year since its establishment.
Francis J. Henry, in the government's investigation of the packing trust, charges that the packers had advance information of the appointment of Herbert Hoover as food administrator, and that positions on the board were obtained for six men in the employ of the packers.
Pearl Martin To Talk To University Women About Work In Nursing
Topeka Woman Will Lecture in Room 110 Fraser Thursday at 3 o'Clock.
To Enlist College Women
Is Sent By Kansas Committee Affiliated with National Council of Defense
GREAT NEED FOR NURSES
"Opportunities in the Nursing Field" will be the subject of a lecture given by Miss W. Pearl Martin of Topeka to University women in Room 110, Fraser, Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Miss Martin is secretary of the Kansas State Nurses' Association and is sent to the University by the Kansas committee on nursing which is affiliated with the Woman's Work of the National Council of Defense.
A campaign to enlist college women in the nursing profession is being made by the state committee among all Kansas academies and colleges, because of the great need of trained nurses for home as well as foreign service. The general requirement of a three-years course of training for nurses has been reduced to two years for college graduates. The situation is set forth in a letter from Sister Catherine Voth, vice-president of the Kansas State Nurses' Association to Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women. She says:
"The general Medical Board and Surgeon General of the U. S. Army calls the attention of the nursing profession to the great need of the War Department of the various army hospitals in this country and abroad as a result of the war. For the proper care of sick and wounded soldiers in hospitals skilled nursing care is absurd because most nurses properly by graduate nurses. Should this war continue another year it is estimated that 20,000 nurses will be called to active service which will delete and cripple the force at home.
"Who, then, shall help to care for the sick in our hospitals and homes? We turn to our schools for recruits and give the educated young woman the preference to take up nursing as a national service and help our country in this emergency.
PREFER EDUCATED WOMEN
"The state committee on nursing, affiliated with the Woman's Work of the National Council of Defense, is now actively engaged in bringing to the attention of college women the need for their services in this profession and telling them of the splendid opportunity to contribute something to the real work of the world in this way."
All seniors who expect to order invitations must do so by tomorrow night. After Thursday no more invitations can be obtained. There will be no extra ones ordered aside from those for which orders have been left. The money must accompany the order. Individuals will not be solicited as in former years.
Must Purchase Senior Invitations Tomorrow
There will be some one at the check stand in Fraser Thursday from 8 to 4 o'clock to take orders. Cardboard invitations sell for twenty cents each, leather for forty. Orders may be left at the same time for the senior an- der that which are engraved on paneled white paper, and sell for eight cents each.
Last Year Students Buy More Announcements Than Invitations This Year
More announcements are being sold this year, and fewer leather invitations. However, practically everyone is buying at least one leather invitation.
The Red Cross is planning to build at once, in connection with the Base Hospital attached to each cantonment a convalescent home to be called the Red Cross Home. This house is to be so furnished as to provide restful surroundings for soldiers.
To the boys who are junior members, and do manual training work as well, will be given the opportunity to furnish these Red Cross Homes for their nearest cantonment.

The Daily Kansan aims to promote the university of Kansas to go farther than merely publish the news on university holdings; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
THE REJECTION OF LEADERSHI
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 27, 1918.
Bolshevik democratization is essentially the illogical rejection not only of leaders but also of the necessity of leadership. This is the clear conclusion to be drawn from Professor Harper's characterization of the Bolshevik movement from its very beginning through all its activities to the present.
Bolsheviks in themselves constitute leaders; each man is a leader; each man is an orator and philosopher and economist and teacher. Everyone is an expert in everything. All others are his equals; none is superior in judgment or in essential qualifications for judgment. One hundred and eighty million leaders—what a dream—what a nightmare!
Trotzky and Lenine are not leaders. They are brothers, brothers to all Russians, to all Germans, to all the citizens of the world. That is why they continue along with the other temporal oligarchs of Russia. A bullet in the back would put them to everalting rest were they honored by such onerous dignites and duties as are incumbent upon the title of generella, or colonel, or even corporal. And as for president—that would be a name as dangerous as rex was for Caesar at the feast of the Lupercal.
How beautiful it all is—this freedom from responsibility, this end of obedience to any constituted authority. The street department is no longer a department but a volunteer group of free citizens who come down the Nevsky Prospekje every morning at ten and take a vote whether the boulevard is to be cleaned next month or next year. The fire alarm rings and each free fireman resolves for himself that he will go or will not go to the fire. Then it must be decided which hydrant is to be used and there must be a firemanisite on the direction the streams shall take. Freedom and disunity now and forever, Russia is indivisible because she can be divided no further.
But Bolshievism is an unstable human compound. It is too inconsistent with itself and with human nature to last long. It is for today sublime, for tomorrow sublimated. It would be good for many people in Russia and perhaps elsewhere to read something of Thomas Carlyle just now. Leadership must be, and intelligent following of rational leadership is an obligation laid on the human race as a condition of its survival. The source of leadership may be lowly and humble, but its qualities are unmistakable, its duties to all the people are manifest both to him who leads and to him who is loyal to the leadership. Russia will find her great men. A few will be rediscovered. Lenine and Trotzky, however, will not be among them. Sooner will
Judas be named with the Twelve
Apostles.
TURN INVITATIONS INTO BONDS
Orders for senior invitations are being taken today and Thursday. Invitations are forty cents each, in leather and twenty cents in card board, in either case ten cents cheaper than last year.
It has been suggested that seniors send but few invitations this year. Eliminating invitations will be a really patriotic thing to do. The mails will be relieved of just that much of a burden. A car load or two of relatively useless gifts will not be bought and shipped in conventional responses to invitations. The price of the invitations saved if invested in striftamps would in many cases buy a Baby Bond.
Many seniors are planning to send announcements instead of invitations thus eliminating the probability of presents, and at the same time saving enough for a contribution to some patriotic work, because of the inexpenisiveness of the announcements.
The number of invitations orderse is immaterial to the invitation committee, which makes no profit. One graduates from college only once, of course, and naturally wants the long-anticipated occasion to be as joyously perfect as possible. But in the present national extremity wouldn't the little sacrifice be more than justified?
KEEPING UP WITH LIZZIE
I know a girl from my home town who came to school this year; but like the wooden Indian, she don't know me down here. I used to go with her at home; she seemed to like me there; but here at old K. U. its quite a different affair. Seems funny how some girls forget the pals they used to know; its policy to drop the guy who's not a "social" beau. Of course she'll take a date with me for a two-dollar show; you can't blame her so very much, she wants a way to go, but when it comes to Friday night, about nine times in ten, she'd like to go so well, you know, but she doesn't see how she can. And Saturday and Sunday too (or any other time) she really had to finish up that History outline; I didn't realize how studious she really is; she'll be a female Socrates, a regular Gee-hise. I know how much I'm in her road because she's set her eye on making a sorority, the Eta Bita Pi; I'm not what's termed a "socia guy" and won't do her much good in showing off what style she got; know I never could. I rather thin she's keeping me to be the last resort, in case he fails to make the "Greek" and needs a man escort Here's to her; and Jove grant she makes the Eta Bita Pies; it would do much good, I guess, to wish otherwise; if but she thinks I'll stile around and wait a month or two she's got her wires badly crossed, if its just what I won't do. She's nii and cute and pretty, but I'll get aloov without her; I'm not looking for lef over at K. U.'s gaurd counter.
RedCrossNews
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED.
One does not see the Red Cross button frequently on the K. U. campus. Some say they are tired of wearing it; others don't have anything to say at all. Neither party is eager to claim justification for attitude or opinion.
If you are inclined to regard as trivial the few small articles you are able to contribute to the University salvage box in Fraser Hall, remember the Red Cross is not too busy an organization to bother with the money these articles bring. No, indeed! they need it.
George W. Simmons, manager of the Southwestern Division of the Red Cross, which includes Kansas, has arrived in France where he is to make a brief stay and study the activities of the Red Cross in the field, in order that he may bring back to this country a clearer and fresher appeal for things most necessary in the light of present conditions abroad.
William Herbert Carruth, author of the following poem, was head of the German department at the University of Kansas previous to accepting a professorship at Leland Stanford University five years ago. He wrote the words to "Crimson and the Blue," the best known K. U. song: Mav nalsv刮声 me mumble
(The Komitadji are old time free large militiaman of Sorbie.)
POET'S CORNER
But this, my truthful song.
And lame my hand, if ever
I write good words \*\*\* war, and dumb
words \*\*\* war.
THE KOMITADJI
Who held the trenches that lie along
The Danube on opposite Radschi.
Red Cross surgeon glared,
That sixth night of October.
At the Serbian officers, who dared
Break ward rules, drunk or sober.
But the Komitadji ranged
A regiment, but no.
We manned on the fourth th
night.
Among the maimed and dying
And summoned men to be exchanged For those in the trenches lying.
There are thirty left by the iron hail
And never a Serb that blenches.
"A regiment, full tale,
"But thirty are very few,
When the Austrians cannobade us,
Though wounded sore, I call on you.
To rise from your beds and aid us?
With a potent Serbian oath,
Like the swirl of a cyclone sweep
He lifted the wounded, who little lot Limped out to the final reaping.
With a potent Serbian oath.
A gruesome corporal's guard,
The armarmour, grey, from the Re-
Mercy warden, from the Re-
Cross ward
They followed, bandaged and raged.
When the sun of the seventh set, The trench all day replying.
For graveyard ready, not lazaret,
Had a full regiment lying.
So this, my truthful lay,
Who held the trenches that glorious day
On the Danube opposie Radschi
William Herbert Carruth.

Fuzzy Little Capitano The Long-Eared Burro Leads Mister Antonio
The 'Urdy-Gurdy Man Prefers His Donkey and the Stage to Silent Drama
And Actresses Knit, too
Ruth Rose, the Leading Lady Drove an Ambulance in
The 'urdy-gurdy man had left Joe and Capitano for a little while, and it was Mr. Otis Skinner in his jaunty Italian attire who was resting in his dressing room after the first act.
"The movies? No, I shall never go into the movies. The real art of act ing is not found in what they call the silent drama. How is it possible to be artistic and at the same time mechanical?"
"Mr. Skinner has no liking for motion pictures," explained Mrs. Skinner who is with her husband on this tour. She was knitting, as were the actresses of the company between acts. "He has been persuaded, however to do one picture."
"The red carnation I use in the second act was obtained in Lawrence, only with difficulty," said Mr. Skinner. "You know it is a real flower I always carry. Tonight my property man sent one of the stage hands out to get the bread and meat I use for our meal. He also instructed the man to get a red carnation. When the messenger returned, he had with the other groceries a can of condensed milk—carnation brand."
Ruth Rose, Mr. Skinner's leading lady, drove an ambulance in France before becoming a member of his company. Now she follows Capitano to Silvertown and thence to gay Sorrent every night in the last act. They all follow little fuzzy, long-eared Capitano, and rely on his good sense. Just now he is leading them west over the Santa Fe trail to Colorado Springs and to the coast.

Watch and clock repairing is one of our hobbies. We are really as particular about having you satisfied with a repair job as we are having you satisfied with the goods you buy from us.
To get the greatest amount of satisfaction out of either a watch or clock, it must be inspected and oiled every year or two—once a year is better.
You wouldn't think of buying a new automobile and then trying to run it without oil; neither should you, think of letting your watch or clock run year after year. Better drop of oil. Better let us look after it for you.

Ice Cream—Rich in Food Value
Compare an analysis of ice cream to many eatables that are thought to be very sensible foods, and you will find ice cream leading in food value.
In food value much depends on the quality of material entering into that product. With WIEDEMANN'S ICE CREAM none but the purest of ingredients are used, and great care is used in the selection of these materials.
Ice Cream isn't an expensive dessert in the first place—much less when its food value is taken into consideration.

Business Logic or Horse Sense?
Apply a little logic right at this point! Business is dull—lagging behind. It needs help and push! Just the part advertising plays in modern business.
SOME business men err in looking upon their advertising as an item of expense, and when business meets with depression many of them resort to their advertising appropriation as the first place to make a "cut."
If this same merchant, who cuts down on his advertising, were to be hauling a heavy load up a hill, he wouldn't unhitch one of his two horses from the load in order to increase the "pull." No, indeed, he would probably be looking around for a third horse to help out.
If a manufacturer saw that his company's sales were dropping off in a certain territory, do you suppose that he would wire his salesmen in that territory to pick up and leave for good? Not much,—instead he would probably dispatch a few extra salesmen to that locality, the advertising manager would be notified to "warm" things up around that district and in all probability the merchants handling the manufacturer's line would hear from headquarters in some way!
The merchant who cuts down on his advertising to save money doesn't believe in advertising. If he did he would see the logic in applying it more than ever when business was dragging.
I said logic would suggest to him his error. I'll take it all back, I believe it should only require a fair amount of HORSE SENSE to guide him right.

Kansas In Third Place In Valley Basketball Play Aggies Next Week
K. S. A. C. Meets Missouri This Week—Each Team Defeated By Jayhawkers
Missouri 11 1 916
Kansas Aggies 9 1 900
Kansas 7 7 583
Washington 6 6 500
Nebraska 1 5 166
Iowa Aggies 1 8 125
Drake 0 6 000
The Jayhawker basketball quintet is resting in third place in the Valley race this week and the team will not get into action until the final series of the year with Coach Clevenger's Kansas Aggies at Manhattan, Monday and Tuesday, March 4 and 5. Coach Hamilton is planning to start the workouts today for the closing series.
One of the most important series of the year begins tonight in Aggieville, when the Tigers clash with the Aggies in the first of a two-game series. Both teams have a defeat against them and in both cases it was the Javhawkers who handed it to them.
The Jayhawkers' position is not secure as the Pikers are threatening to take the third place in the race themselves. They must defeat the Missouri Tigers in the last series of the year for both teams but Kissel is not worrying much about being outstretched from the position.
Kansas will go to Manhattan Monday for the last games, to be played in Nichols gymnasium Monday and Tuesday. The Jayhawkers succeeded in downing the Aggies in one game on Robinson court, in the early part of the season. One Kansas game at Manhattan next week will give the Jayhawkers a firm hold on third place and it may eliminate the Aggies from the championship race.
SPORT BEAMS
Indoor practice for Varsity baseball candidates has been ordered at the University of Michigan. The battery men have been working out for some time and both infielders and outfielders will soon be added to the squad.
Roller skating has been added to the list of indoor sports at Cornell.
Yale is practically assured of a baseball team this year. A full schedule similar to that of last year has been made. The Blue team's big game will be with Princeton.
The crack Minnesota University basketball team defeated Illinois on the Minneapolis court Monday night, 35-22, but in the game Captain Gillen of Minnesota, probably the best forward in the Big Ten conference, suffered a broken collar bone and will be out of the game for the remainder of the season.
A baseball trip will probably be made by the Colgate University nine after the close of school in the middle of May. The weather in New York does not warm up enough to permit early season games and the authorities have decided to allow the team to finish the season after the close of school.
Harvard's informal baseball team will take the diamond this spring against the eastern college and army teams. The Crimson freshmen will play a regular schedule, as usual. No less than twelve candidates recently turned out for the position of manager of the fresh nine.
The Haskell girls basketball team, coached by Captain Dorothy Querfel of the champion senior team at the University, easily defeated the Ottawa sextet Monday night by a 29-13 score.
The W. S. G. A. basketball team has accepted the challenge of the W. A. A Board team for a game at the earliest possible moment.
Advocates School Gardens
The February issue of the "Kansas Municipalities" contains an article by William McKeever of the extension division of the University, on home and school gardening. He suggests school authorities take over the children's vacation gardening as a sort of extension school with young women as personal instructors, while some enthusiastic business man or school principal may be named as general director.

Boxes Ready to Receive Salvage from University
Bring All Tin-foil, Tooth Paste Tubes, Metal Scraps to Fraser and the Gym
The large wooden box in Fraser Hall and the one in the gymnasium are all ready to receive the salvage which University students have been asked to save. Men as well as women should take it upon themselves to see that the boxes are filled several times each week.
The salvage committee of the University asks that students and professors save old electric light globes, tin foil, tooth paste tubes, powder cans, cold cream jars, medicine bottles old fruit jar lids, typewriter ribbon spoils and boxes and all scraps of brass, aluminum, lead or iron which they may have.
This material will be collected and sold to manufacturers to be used again. The money received will be used for the Red Cross or some other war relief work. Thursday is the day for the collection of waste but it may be brought any time.
A committee of one in each sorority and rooming house has been appointed by Lucene Spencer, chairman of the salvage committee, who will be responsible for the collection of all waste in the house.
Rules For Hell Week Too Late For K. U.
There was a young man with a tape measure, and instructions from a college fraternity at Adelbert.
His instructions were to stop everyone with spectacles he met on the street, and to use the tape measure from the spectacles to the ground.
The field of his activities was Euclid-av, near E. 105th st.
Along came a policeman, and it took much talk to keep the policeman from calling the patrol wagon. This is the open season for college sports.
1. First fraternity has ordered its fraternity to collect 50 pennies of the old $1.944.
Another had its freshmen each carry a paving brick to class with him.
A third stationed a freshman in front of the College for Women to give carnations to co-eds.
Each night three or four freshmen are driven to the College for Women campus and made to give a serenade beneath the dormitory windows.
One freshman was stationed on Euclid-av with an old coat. This he was to spread in the mud like Sir Walter Shakespeare did whenever a young woman came lv.
Rules for freshmen posted in one fraternity house read:
Nearly all the secret societies hold their initiations during the next two weeks.
"This fraternity has been placed on a military footing.
"When upper-classmen enter the fraternity house you must stand up and stand at attention until all your superiors are seated.

To Urge New Students
To Study Engineering
Circular letters to 8,000 high school students of the state are to be sent out under the signature of G. C. Shaad, acting dean of the School of Engineering of the University and A. P. Petter dean of Engineering at Kansas State Agricultural College, urging high school students to begin training in engineering after they are graduated from high schools. The necessity of engineers and the great opportunities for those who take up engineering is set out in the letter. High school students will not be allowed to enter the School of Engineering for special training, without finishing their high school course. Several students from different high schools in the state sent in applications for a course in gas engines, on account of their enlistment in the aviation. These students were refused the privilege of taking the courses.

War Savings Society Will Solicit Members At Gymnasium Classes
Application Blanks for Member ship to be Distributed to Drill Classes
All K. U. Expected to Join
War Savings Stamps Are Profitable Investment Backed By Government
Application blanks for membership in the University War Savings Society will be circulated among the students Friday, March 1, when they assemble for military drill and physical exercise classes. This method of distribution has been chosen by the finance committee of the War Council under Prof. G. C. Shaad, chairman, because it is the simplest way to reach every student. Blanks will also be distributed to all faculty members and employees so every person connected with the University may have an opportunity to join the society.
The War Savings Society is being formed at K. U. as a tangible evidence that the University is supporting the government. Members of the organization are expected to buy War Savings Stamps at the minimum rate of twenty-five cents a week for sixteen weeks. This sum will amount to one "Baby Bond." The stamps are a profitable and secure investment, with a value in the range readily in value from the time of purchase to the time of maturity, and this increase is guaranteed by the government.
"The main reason," said Professor Shaad, "why every person in any way connected with K. U. should buy War Savings Stamps is because the country is at war. The United States needs every penny which every man, woman and child can save and lend, in order to feed, clothe, arm, and equip its soldiers and sailors. Funds are necessary to bring the war to a quick and successful close. United Effort is essential in this campaign, and K. U. will make a united response to the membership campaign Friday."
Man From K. C. Star Talks on Copy Reading
Frank Evans, superintendent of the mechanical department and composing room of the Kansas City Star, was here to talk to the class in editorial practice this morning. He told of the necessity of economy in the daily life, how the basis of economy extended to the copy desk.
"There is a peculiar basis of economy in a newspaper office," he said. "In the paper office all work for the same boss. Copy readers may be a great aid to the institution by making every effort to be economical. Bad copy and careless copy reading mean a great loss of time and money to a paper. Heads must be written to fit the type."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 28, 1918
Mr. Evans is talking this afternoon on the subject of oriental rugs before the Voutaure Club at the home of Mrs. Ord Klingman. He is probably one of the greatest collectors of these rugs west of the Mississippi river. While in Lawrence Mr. and Mrs. Evans are the guests of Prof. S. O. Rice, of the department of journalism.

To Collect Back Money
The finance committee of the Y. W. C. A. are making definite plans for the collection of all the back pledges and the pledges for the month of March. "The former plan of meeting the girls, personally has been abandoned," said Helen McKinney, chairman of the finance committee yesterday, because of the difficulties which arise, the failure to keep appointments and the indifference shown by them.
"All those who have not paid their back pledges and those who have pledges for the first of March are requested to pay them Friday, March the first at the check stand between the hours of 8 and 12 in the morning and 1 to 4 in the afternoon. Check books of the various banks will be furnished at the stand."

Seniors May Purchase Invitations Tomorrow
The sale of senior invitations which was to close to-day, has been extended one more day. Friday will be the last chance for seniors to order these invitations. Samples are on display at Fraser check stand and orders are taken there.
The number sold has not reached the total expected by the committee but many more orders are being placed today. This with the added sales of the extra day will probably bring the total up to the usual number, Esther Roop, chairman of the committee believes.

Proceeds Will Pay Club's Expenses on Trips to Cantonments
Women's Glee Club Gives First Concert March 5 At F. A. U
One hundred tickets have already ben sold for the Women's Glee Club concert, which is to be given Tuesday night, March 5, at F. A. U. Hall, Marie Buchanan, manager of the club, announced this morning. Members of the club expect to dispose of five hundred tickets before next Tuesday, that being the capacity of the hall. Profits from the concert will be used by the Glee Club to make trips to Camp Funston and Leavenworth later in the spring. The same concert given here will be sung before fifteen thousand soldiers at Camp Funston.
This year's concert will be exceptionally good because the club has practiced regularly since the beginning of the school year. The exact personnel of the Glee Club has not yet been announced by Professor Downing, director, but it is certain that there will be more than fifty voices in the concert.
In place of the usual intermission a short sketch will be put on by four members of the club. The numbers to be sung are varied, and the program will include more than one innovation. Tickets may be purchased from any of the women on the Hill who are decorated with the two eighth notes or at the Round Corner Drug Store.

Camps Melting Pots Of Men of Every Kind Says Dorman O'Leary
Former K. U. Athlete is Favorably Impressed with Army's Democracy
"Men of the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Dublin and Athens, as well as of our own universities and colleges; men of every nationality except Chinese and negroes."2 such was the description of the men at Camp Green, N. C., by Dorman O'Leary who is at his home in Lawrence on furlough.
O'Leary was impressed with the democracy at the training camp. He said, "There you'll see a bunch of university students bossed by a sergeant who had never seen a high school. A New York crack cavalry troop, comprised of society men, men of leisure who have travelled all over Europe, was working on their soldiers' good sports and take it all right. All the fellows at the camp are a healthy, happy lot and don't have much to complain of."
O'Leary was a junior on the Hill when he enlisted with the army Engineers. He first went to Ft. Riley and from there was transferred to Camp Doniphan, Okla. In January he was again transferred to Camp Green, N. C. After being there for a little over a month, his application for entrance into the aviation training school was granted and Friday he will leave for the training station at Columbus, Ohio.
O'Leary won his K in the quarter mile in '16 and '17 and was a member of the Kappa Psi fraternity.
Other K. U, men at Camp Green were Connie Poirer, Millard Anderson, James Foster and Otto Ellis.
Why France Fights is Theme of Prof. Cestre In French Lecture
Harvard Exchange Professor
From Bordeau Speaks Here
Next Week
Charles Cestre, professor of English at Harvard, will speak in Green Hall March 6 at 4 o'clock on the aims and objects for which France and her allies have been fighting the great war of civilization.
The address, "Fourquoi nos battons?" will be given in French and all interested are invited to attend. Professor Cestre comes here under the auspices of the local division of the Alliance Francaise and is spoken of very highly. He is a graduate of the University of Bordeau and of the Sorbonne University of Paris. He spent most of his early life in England. Twenty years ago he took a post-graduate course at Harvard. Since then he has been lecturing at the University of Bordeau on English Literature. For the past year he has lectured at Harvard on "The influence of eighteenth century French literature on the romantic poets in England." This lecture has attracted wide attention. His lecture on "The reaction of English romanticists on their contemporaries in France," has been one of the most popular courses ever offered at Harvard.
As an eye witness on the battle front in France and as an accredited representative of the French government to the universities of this country he is peculiarly well equipped by personal observation and intimate acquaintance with the ideals of the French people in this war, to present to the American University world a first hand statement of conditions as they appear to the cultivated man in France.
All students wishing to attend will be excused from their regular classes.

Dean H. L, Butter in his class in development of music was giving definitions of different types of musical compositions. "A fuge," he said, "is a piece of music in which the voices enter one after another and the listeners leave one after another."
When the Chemistry Building fire, or smoke, broke out, a student was working in a room above the scene of the conflagration, trying to bring up to date a chemistry note book that was due the last of the week.
Realizing the import of the confusion he heard below, the student threw his note book into a drawer, locked it, and walked away, saying, "Let 'e burn."

Bill Board Ball Keen For Lovers of Fantastic
From First to Last Note of Jazzy Music One Grand Trance
Bill Board Ball, all that it sounds and even more! Friday night the journalism sisters will unfold the mysteries of the great unknown to all those of the light fantastic that assemble in the Fraternal Aid Union Hall. Of course it will be decidedly different, and original as the name signifies. Of course it will be snappy from the very first note of that jazzy music to that drousy, dreamy drag. It will be keen in the very strictest sense of the word, keen music, keen floor, keen eats!
Conservation applies to energy as well as anything else according to the entertaining women journalists. They have conceived a scheme whereby everyone can be saved the unnecessary trouble of ever stepping forth from the dance floor for right there will be all that satisfies one's desires in the way of earthly sustenance. It will be something entirely new in the line of refreshments and something that delights one's palate as well as resuscitates one's spirits.
Entrancing and inspiring music will be a feature also. Schofstall and Pierce with a new selection of that "heavenly, jazzy music" will be there. Of course one can't divulge all of the secrets.
You can't SPEND your money and SAVE IT too! Buy War-Savings Stamps!
Feeding of Allies Task For Every American, Asserts Mrs. Teetor
First Lecture Given to Women Of University in Food Conservation Drive
Individual Needs Explained
Importance of Clear Understanding by Citizens is Empha-
"In the years of 1915 and 1916 the cereal crop alone of the Allies was 550,000,000 bushels lower than it had been in former years," said Mrs. Evangeline Downey Teeter in her first lecture on "Food and the War" in Fraser Chapel Wednesday afternoon. "Knowing this, it is easy to realize that Europe depends upon us for its food, not on some one far removed, but on each individual in the United States.
"Our wheat crop this year," she continued "was but 625,000 bushels, which amount we have in former years used in our own country. We exported about seventeen times as much cheese to Europe this year as in previous years, about fourteen times as much condensed milk and six and one-half times as much butter. Our exports have increased and our supply has not, therefore, we must save the difference between the two." "We must send to Europe," said Mrs. Teector, "the foods which have the greatest fuel value to the smallest bulk, and in order to know what foods to feed for this we must know the fuel value of food; fuel value of foods in condensed calories. A coleman is, as used in food work, the unit of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree centigrade. One tablespoon of butter equals one hundred calories; two tablespoons of sugar contain one hundred calories; while it takes about one and one half pounds of lettuce to equal one hundred calories."
With the aid of a respiration calorimeter, Mrs. Teetler explained, scientists are able to tell almost exactly how many calories a person requires. A person who lies down all of the time requires one calorie per day for every two and two-tenths pounds he weighs. The more muscular exercise a person has the greater is his requirements for food. A nervous person requires more calories per day than a person who is more quiet. The average person requires about 2400 calories each day.
"The penalty for absences in this work," continued Mrs. Teetor, "is that the person who misses a lecture will be dropped from all University classes unless she has read a certain required outside reading and taken a quiz on it at an hour to be announced later. I believe, however, that if the women realize that this course of lectures is given so that they will be able to go out in their own communities this spring and help save food for our Allies that there will be few absences."
Contest for Snapshots
Ends Tomorrow Night
Box for Pictures Will Be at Bulletin Board or in Fraser
Tomorrow will be the last day of the 1918 Jayhawker snapshot contest, Prick Chandler, editor of the section announced this morning. The box has been out all week at the bulletin board and an interesting collection of pictures has been submitted. If the weather is rainy tomorrow, Chandler said the box will be moved to the check stand in Fraser Hall, where snapshots may be placed.
"Three Jayhawkers will be given to the winners of the contest," Chandler said, "and the prizes are not won yet. Tomorrow is expected to be the big day in the race and as many more pictures as can be obtained are wanted, pictures, not the ones we wanted, although in cases of exceptionally good snaps, the latter will be accepted. We cannot promise to return the pictures but some such arrangement probably can be made in rare cases."
Miss Duffield, secretary of the Y.
W. C. A. will be in her office in Myers
Hall at her usual hours beginning

The Daily Kausan aims to picture the daily life of students at University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the new book; to offer more university holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
THURSDAY, FEB. 28, 1918.
THE BUSINESS OF SAVING
An invitation to join a war savings society will be sent to you tomorrow by the Finance Committee of the War Council. No emotional appeal will accompany the invitation, no touching stories will be told to you, to thrill temporarily, leaving you to wonder next month why you promised to deprive yourself to buy War Savings Stamps.
Instead you will be asked to voluntarily join an association of ten or more persons with the single idea of saving for our United States, every cent possible. It is the little luxuries that most students will give up; no one is asked to do without necessities. That is not necessary, yet. God grant, it never will be. As to saving the "luxury money" it is only a question of whether you deprive yourself, now, or whether the government will be forced to deprive you of the opportunity to spend unnecessarily.
WETNESS
It rains. It will rain some more
The ground will certainly be wet, and
puddle, and muddy. And some foolish
people are going to get wet feet,
consequently sore throats, hoarse
voices, graveyard coughs. A little
common sense just now will obviate
discomfort and reduced academic effi-
ficiency.
Rain coats and umbrellas, hats and rubbers should be used consistently. Consistent use presumes continuous availability of the necessary protections. Of course it is a burden to drag rubbers through a threatening day that in the end does not spill a drop. But the man who raised his umbrella to last night's weeping skies thanked his foresight for the accessibility of his instrument. And he should be complimented for his perseverance in carrying it all day long.
USUALS TO "THE CHAPERON"
Lizzie in the adjoining column is a spirited person and not so hypothetical as she seems. She is more than an individual, she is a whole type and that type is seventy-two point bold. Of course she blinks in the limelight which reveals her disregard for common folks, especially good old home town folks. Of course she starts a wall when the Kansan focuses on her foibles. No one expected anything else. Everyone is glad she did squale.
The Kansan is not running a Chaperon's Coloyum and does not intend to have any such innovation, but the Kansan certainly will keep a weather eye out for snobbiness on old Ored Hill. There is no need of pairing people off, not even when they descend the Hill with degrees under their arms. There is need, however, of amenable relationship and community friendliness in the University. And when friend from Osage City needs a double length periscope to see Lizzie and an interplanetary telescope to visualize her ambitions, there is likely to be adverse criticism not only in Lawrence, Kansas, but also in Osage City.
Seriously, then, undergraduates must never forget that K. U. is for Kansas, for all of Kansas, every county, every town, every living soul dwelling therein. And as for the representatives who come from the farther as well as from the nearest corners of the state, they must so feel the democratic contact and broadening influences in this institution that they may go back home with an ever-lasting conviction of the good and the
er of K. U.
ATHELITICS AS UNUSUAL
A call has been sent out for recruits for the basketball team and every freshman in the University has been urged to turn out for the freshman nine. It has also been suggested that football practice be held before outdoor baseball workouts, so that the new material which can be developed this spring may have the advantage of working with and under the guidance of the old and seasoned players. This is typical of war times in many of the schools of the Missouri Valley
The older athlete has answered the call of service and has left it to the underclassmen to uphold the athletic standards of his school. It is because of this fact that the coaches are doing all that is possible to use the old men to break in the new athletes into the necessary team work. And it is no mean task.
Here at the University only two old players came back from last season's track team, two from the basketball five, and only four men have returned for the baseball team. The basketball season is practically over and must not be treated unkindly. Something was wrong and it may have been the lack of men.
At present the crying need is for more material in track and baseball. Other schools have lost men, nevertheless they were strong enough to push the Kansas basketball team into third place. Future support both physical and vocal will determine the standing of the other teams this season. Especially is this true of the football eleven to be organized next fall.
The answer which the University of Kansas gives to the call for recruits on the track, baseball, and football teams will have much to do with the place the University will take in valley athletics this season and next. If there were no other reason than that of keeping in the best sort of condition for his country that alone should be incentive enough to keep the man active in athletics. Athletics are unusual rather than usual now, and the man who does not take an interest in them during war times may later regret his indifference.
Of the long row of seats they selected the ones farthest from the aisle yet they knew they were going to leave the entertainment before it was completed. When they left they had to climb over many people. It's the little things that count, even if they are number nine.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
THE ANATOMY OF SUCCESS
GET UP on your toes.
Put the best foot forward.
Stiften your backbone.
Throw back your shoulders.
Get abreast of the times.
Hold up your chin.
Keep a stiff upper lip.
Keep your eyes and ears open—
And your mouth shut.
Use your head,
Go ahead,
And get ahead.

CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will then be posted in the news room, but the editor must know who is writing the communication as evidence of its authenticity. Communications are welcome.
I am Lizzie. I didn't ask anyone to try to keep up with me. If the effusive person who tried to in the editorial column of the Kansan yesterday is sore, he must blame himself and fate and not me.
To the Editor of the Kansan;
I deny that I ignored home town ties and threw him down for a young Lochvinar who came from farther west than Osage City. He arrived in time to find me settled in my ways here. I tried real hard to be nice to him, but he insisted on being a monopolist just because we learned our amo-amas-amat-amamus together. He was always friendly. Our other people than just us. He got so gloomy I preferred history outlines to his.
Then he got pevish and nursed his grudges. But he is dead wrong when he says I scorned his humble suit because I am emulating either Socrates or Xantipe or offering prayers for admission to hellenic rites. Now: I take my knowledge just as the rest of K, U. take it—spoon-fed daily 8 to 12 and 1 to 4 o'clock and long before he arrived here I had been saying my prayers of thanksgiving inside a temple. He better go to Delphi and consult the Oracle.
Finally, I locomote at a reasonable intellectual and social speed always within prescribed limits. And anyone going my way can join along if the whole party is agreeable to him. There's no need of tagging behind, but of course if he insists, why he will just have to take our dust. I am not on any K. U. remnant counter tagged as a left-over and I don't expect to be, principally because I present the man's epistolian idea of the very necessity of our being paired off. I don't need man in my scheme of civilized living. I am willing to tolerate him and be good to him if he is willing and deserving. I am the one, who stands before the counter.
MENTAL LAPSES
Lizzie.
THE SOFT ANSWER
Professor Copeland of Harvard, as the story goes, reproved his students for coming late to class.
"This is a class in English composition," he remarked with sarcasm.
At the next meeting one girl was twenty minutes late. Professor Capewell waited until she had taken her seat. Then he remarked bitingly:
"Without the lemon, please," Miss Brown answered quite gently.—Topeka State Journal.
"How will you have your ten, Miss Brown?"
A HUMAN CENTIPEDE
"That officer there in uniform," she said, "was the great-great-grand-father of the present owner of this property. He was as brave as a lion, but one of the most unfortunate of men. He never fought a battle in which he did not have a leg or arm carried away."
An Irish housekeeper was showing ten家 housekeeper the family portraits in the backyard.
Then she added proudly: "He took part in twenty-four engagements."
She (pointedly): Oh, yes, they have. The reason they don't laugh at the funny things they see is because they don't want to hurt the poor thing's feelings—Richmond TimesDispatch.
He (brutally): Women have no sense of humor, anyhow.
"I haven't the slightest doubt of it. She's beginning to remind him that she was making $25 a week when he said,"—Birmingham Age-Herald.
'Dear me! Are you quite sure about that?'
Their honeymoon is over."
A "Tommy," lying in a hospital, had beside him a watch of curious and foreign design. The attending doctor was interested.
HIS GENEROSITY
'Where did your watch come from?' he asked.
A little piqued, the doctor inquired how the foe had come to convey this token of esteem and affection. "E 'ad to" was the legal
"A German gave it to me," he answered.

Blue and White Flags
Tell Women Gym Hours
When a white flag flies from the pole on Robinson Gymnasium there is no cause for alarm, for it is not a flag of truce but an indication that there will be no outdoor classes in Mr.丹斯 department of athletics that day.
When a blue flag waves it is not a weather forecast but an indication that indoor classes are excused. This plan has been adopted as the most effective method of informing students when classes will not meen.
THE RECALCITRANT HAT
THE RECALCITRANT HAT
When Myrtle encounters a window in town.
No power can hurry her up!
She steps to examine the fit of his, gown
With anxious and rigorous eye;
She studies her garments for crease or for speck;
She gives all her tresses a pat
She gives all her chest a play.
She pulls down her waist; then she
arches her neck
And sees her hat.
I've seen her in front of a window or door
Which casts a reflection that's clear
Obstruction traffic and calmly
explore
All visible parts of her gear.
She wiggles her nose 'till her veil is in place;
She smoothes out her skirt with her usual grace. Dresses her hat.
fd fixes
She powders her nose to eliminate shine;
She fluffs out the lace at her wrist;
She changes a pin and thus straight-
ens a line
Which shows a desire to twist.
Her eye is on guard lost her petitcoat
show—
She always makes certain of that;
And when she is sure that she's just
thus and so,
She gives her hat.
She fixes her hat.
When Judgment Day comes, and my
Myrtle awakes
At Gabriel's ultimate trump,
She'll hunt for a window, with trem-
ors and quakes
For fear that she looks like a
frump.
No matter how urgent the summons
may be
Or how she may tremble thereat,
She'll stop for a moment in order to
see
(And straighten) her hat.

Few Scraps of Tin-foil Found in Salvage Boxes
Material Must Be Turned in Friday to be Shipped to City
Although two wooden boxes for Red Cross salvage have arrived and have been placed one in Fraser Hall, the other in the gymnasium, only a couple of lead tubes, three or four electric light bulbs and a few scraps of tin foil have been turned in so far. All material for these purposes should be ordered that it may be sent on to be utilized by the manufacturers, in larger towns.
"I engaged two cooks today," he said.
Luceen Spencer, chairman of the salvage committee, is anxious that all University students, the men not excepted, respond at once by bringing all their cold cream jars, perfume bottles, cans, electric light bulbs and other waste and placing them in the salvage boxes.

Twenty-Five Men Go To Compete In Meet Held In K. C. March 2
Time in Distance Events Was Slow—Best Record in Quarter Mile
Frosh Show Up in Try-out
Russell, Davison, R. Rodkey Coffey, Shreve and Murphy Are Relay Men
Nearly twenty-five men will be taken to the K. C. A. C. meet in Kansas City Saturday night by Coach W. O. Hamilton. Try-outs for the meet were held yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium and an unexpected result of these was the large number of freshmen who ran and who will be taken to the Kansas City meet. The time was slow in the distance events.
Probably the best time was made in the quarter mile. Rhinehart, a freshman placed first. No Narsity men were entered. Opelensky, Little, and Rusk also placed in the order named. The best time made was 60:4-5 seconds. One or two of the Narsity quarter mile men may be used in this event, although most of them will be saved, instead of what of them we have at the Nebraska team. Russell, Davidson, R. Rodkey, Coffey, and Shreve are the men most likely to compete in the relay along with the veteran Murphy.
In the half-mile Fischer and Bradley, freshmen athletes, placed with McCall leading and Davidson close behind. The time was slow being 2:16 2-5. The track record held by Fred Rodkey is 2:02. Murphy and Coffey, other regulars, also will make the trip and may run the half-mile. Bradley and McCall may be only entered in the 1,000 yard handicap.
Hanna made the best time in the mile, 5:14. Hunt and Flemberg, both fresh runners will be taken on the meet to run in this event.
The exact list of those who will enter the dashes has not been announced but it is certain that Bradley, Lobaugh, Schwartz, and one or two freshmen will compete. In the hurdles there is Hobart and Armel, Liggett, Davison, and a freshman probably will be taken to try for a place in the shot put. With Rice at the Illinois meet the same night, the high jump will be in the hands of inexperienced men. Howard and several first year men will be entered in this event.

In the pole vault Howard probably will make every man in the meet work hard to win first place from him. He tried for first in the Kansas Argie meet last week for first place at a height of 10 feet 9 inches. Buffington, Dewall, and Brown may enter some of the longer distance races.
