Y.M. Employment Agency Gets Dr. Charles Henry To Help Men Find Jobs
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 2. 1918.
United War Work Council Sends Assistant for Employment Bureau
University Needs Employes
46 Percent of Students Self-Supporting and 62 Percent Partially Self-Supporting
In order to take care of the employment situation at the University of Kansas after the demobilization of the Student Army Training Corps, Dr. Robert H. Moss, Jr., and Dr. Charles E. Henry to assist the Y. M. C. A. employment bureau.
After the breaking up of the S. A T.C. unit at the University many men will be forced to have outside employment in order to stay in college. "The Y.M.C.A. expects to locate every man who wants work in a suitable place," said Frank Parker, secretary of the University Y. M. C.A. As soon as the army life among the students discontinues, things will revert to their old conditions and there will be the usual amount of student employment, according to Mr. Parker. A list is now being made of every permanent position and odd jobs around the University and in Lawrence.
At present many of the rooming and boarding houses for the men are closed because the men had to live in the barracks. These will open as soon as the men leave the barracks and there will be the usual amount of work that is exchanged for room and board.
"The men who remain in the University will have a great opportunity to obtain work outside to help pay some of their expenses," said Prof. Clement C. Williams of the School of Engineering. "Many are needed right now at the University to look after the equipment and apparatus that is needed in the School of Engineering. The faculty is short of men this year and for that reason students have to be employed to act as assistants in many cases. At present there is a demand for a mechanician who can do the higher grade of repair work. Such students are paid the wages of skilled laborers. The assistants' wages amount to about thirty-five cents an hour according to the work which they do."
"There is the same oppression in the department of chemistry for men to do outside work," said B. H. Lester, a pharmacist at the laboratory help, and dispensers."
The wages that is paid for such work amounts to about twenty-five cents an hour, according to the work that is required.
According to George O. Foster, registrar of the University of Kansas, 48 per cent of the body is skin and 62 per cent of the body is partially self supporting.
The same opportunity will be open in pharmacy as in previous years, according to L. E. Sayre, dean of the school of pharmacy. Students will be needed in the laboratories as assistants. Some who have had experience are needed in the local drug stores.
Former Kansan Editor Dreads Land-Sickness
In the Kansas notes of a recent number of the Kansas City Star, appeared the following letter, received by W. C. Palmer from his son Everett Palmer, former editor of the Kansan. Mr. Palmer is in the navy and is serving on board the U. S. S. Santa Rosalia:
"The sea is calm and my stomach is again inhabiting my lower regions. I got sea-sick the first day out. First I was just sea-sick; then I got sick of the sea, the boat and everything on board. I would have given a month's pay to have been in a good old Kansas dust storm again.
Martha Thompson, c'20, spent Saturday and Sunday at her home in Kansas City, Mo.
old Kansas man. "It rained just enough to 'lay the dust.' It seems a waste of energy to rain out here...I'm getting so used to being rolled about that if there is such a thing as land slickness, I know I'll have it. I remember after I learned to walk a slack wire, I couldn't walk a board fence, because it didn't wiggle enough. Maybe I'll experience the same difficulty when I try to walk down a side-walk."
University Head Janitor Asphyxiated in Garage
Asphyxiation by the burned gases from his automobile caused the death Sunday night of David A. Miller, head juniptor of the University, in the garage at his home, 940 Mississippi Street. When found, Mr. Miller was lying on the floor, where apparently he had fallen while attempting to reach the door, which was almost closed. He had gone to the garage to charge the batteries of his car, which had not been used for several days.
Mr. Miller had been in the employ of the University for fifteen years, and was well known to many students and former students. Don Davis, A. B. '18, had just written to Prof. Stoll, saying he would like to give something to the old professors and Dave Miller, "I suppose he will be there till he can show folks over the ruins of the Administration Building," said Davis.
Peace Concert Guests Are Governor and Wife
Mrs. Capper Will Hear Her Own Compositions
Governor and Mrs. Arthur Cappet will attend the Peace Concert given by members of the University faculty, Lawrence people, and students, tonight in Robinson Gymnasium. The chorus consists of faculty members and citizens of Lawrence, and the audience will be asked to sing two numbers.
By special request Prof. Carl Preeyer, soloist, will give three of his own compositions. Two of the songs for mixed voices, which will be given to her, will be one hundred voices, were written by Mrs. Arthur Capper, wife of the governor.
prof. Arthur Nevin has organized and directed the practices for the Peace Concert, and the idea of giving such a celebration is his. This is the first concert of the sort to be given in the United States.

Influenza Situation Is Not Alarming at K. U
The influenza situation is not likely to become serious in Lawrence again, according to the S. A. T. C., Lawrence and K. U. authorities.
The University Hospital reports only two new cases and Miss Hailight, the nurse in charge, thinks there are no cases outside unreported.
There have been no new cases at the S. A. T. c. infirmary for several days. Dr. Clark, the city health officer, had only three cases reported to him this morning and he does not consider the situation at all alarming.
Announcement
The date rule is off to tonight
for the People's House only.
LUCINE SENCIER,
President W.S.G.A.
...
Happily the close of the S. A. T. C, means the return of the University to normal existence, when petty scandals of army life will no longer give unpleasant publicity to the name of the institution.
BETTER DAYS ARE COMING
The military authorities who have permitted or overlooked drinking among the thoughtless boy officers of the S. A. T. C., trying desperately to be as tough as they understood that old veterans in the army ought to be, have done the University harm; but thanks to the approaching return to a normal regime, the harm is not irreparable.
It is abandoned for Captain Scher to try to place the guilt on men who are, according to all evidence so far available, absolutely innocent. The facts of past experience, the testimony of Dr. Goldamith, the evidence of the Lawrence police, all indicate that last year's men are not responsible for present conditions. Whatever alibi the military authorities may produce in defence of their neglect of duty in allowing a situation to exist which is strictly under Federal ban by the dry-zone provisions for military encampments, it is useless for them to lay the blame where it does not belong. Such conditions can not and do not exist in the University in normal times.
Aside from the injury done to the University, the discredit to the army and the reflection on the officers in charge, the incident is regrettable also because it lessens the chance that military training is a possible feature of University work in physical training will be considered on its merits. A few silly young swashbucklers have spilled the beans. Military training is dead when it did perhaps not deserve to die.
But the cheerful aspect of the whole matter is that as soon as the Student Army is mustered out, we may expect to return to a life in which it will be possible to give our attention to more vital things than the misdemeanors of young officers imported from training schools.
Mistletoe Vanity Fair Contest Begins to Name Beauties for Jayhawker
Six Are to Be Selected for Page
Pictures in Annual Peace
Book
Thirty University women have been nominated as contestants in the Mistletoe Vanity Fair Contest which begins Tuesday, according to Fred Rigby, editor in chief of the 1919 Peace Book. "The thirty names have only been suggested," said Mr. Rigby this morning, and one to one in being put up his or her contestant for the beauty contest this year."
The names that have been suggested are:
Helen Thurston, Mary Emily Warren, Doris Rosser, Helen Cook,peg Reishin, Lenora Brownhack, Dorothy Button, Edna Raising, Katherine Oder, Sarah Tran, Pauline Puls, Genevieve Kunkle, Dolly Haina, Ramona Kirkpatrick, Eileen Van Sand, Geneva Hunter, Ruby Kuri, Ruth Strong, Irene Cutter, Margaret Matthews, Helen Rutledge, Helen Brown, Geneva Cook, Dorothe Engle, Muriel Hill, Gladys McChenesy, Hazel Wilson, Lillian Gleisser, Mary Barker, Margaret Adams.
Of this number and from among the several others who will be turned in, six who receive the largest number of votes will be given a full page of pictures in the unique beauty section of the Peace Book.
Ballot boxes will be placed in Fraser Hall, at the bulletin board on the campus and in other conspicuous places. The votes will be counted regularly and an announcement made of the standing of the contestants in the University Dally Kansan each day during the two week's contest. One member of the faculty will be present at the counting to assure the voters of absolute accuracy.
Mistletoe Girls, solicitors, will be on the campus and various places tomorrow to begin selling subscriptions to the Peace Book. The price of the book this year will be $5.00. Each subscription will entitle the purchaser to 500 votes to be case for one of the contestants in the beauty contest. The entire amount need not be paid when the subscription is paid but a per cent charge entitles the purchaser to votes for the amount of his cash payment, the remaining votes to be cast when the rest of the subscription is paid.
Braden Will Talk at Y. W.
"Does Prayer Work?" is the subject to be discussed by Doctor Arthur Braden, Tuesday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock in Fraser Chapel. This is the third of a series of lectures which are being given by Dr. Braden on Christian fundamentals, in place of the regular Y. W. C. A. meetings. The last lecture will be given Tuesday, December 10, on the question, "Can We Believe in Immortality?"
The Red Cross is Efficient.
R. O. T. C. Is Possible Successor of S. A. C.T. On University Campus
Question From War Department To be Discussed by University Senate
With the passing of the Student Army Training Corps will probably come the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
A telegram was received from the war department this morning asking the University authorities' opinion on the establishment of such a corps*at the University of Kansas. All schools in which there has been a S. A. T. C. unit have been asked to wire in their opinions on the establishment of an R. O. T. C.
This matter will be discussed at the meeting of the University Senate Tuesday night, according to Dean F. J. Kelly.
"It is my personal opinion," said Dean Kelly this morning, "that if the University of Kansas does not have an R. O. T. C, here we will be far behind the other universities of the United States, for it is practically certain that nearly every one will have military training after the demobilization of the Student Army Training Corps."
The establishment of the R, O, T. C. unit at the University would not necessitate the living in barracks, or military discipline except while at drill. According to the telegram the student was required to minimum of three hours every week.
1. The institution must agree to
    1. the two years' course of military training (minimum three hours per week) a prerequisite for graduation on the basis of such student成绩 in the 100 who voluntarily [join the O, R, C, T]
According to the telegram the institution must comply with the following requests if the R. O. T. C. is to be established here;
"Reports of My Death Exaggerated," Treweeke
2. The government details an officer who serves as a professor of military science and tactics, supplies all uniforms and other equipments, maintains a summer camp at which members of the R. O. T. C. receive transportation, pays commutation of subsistence to members who have taken two or more years of work in the R.O.T. Camuons in the office's "Officers'" Training Corps will be granted to a limited number of men who complete the advance training and are qualified for such commissions-
An opinion of the men students will probably be taken on the matter according to Dean Kelly. The establishment of the R. O, T. C, here will not mean the same amount of military work as is required by the Student Army Training corps. The work taken in the R. O, T. C, except the summer camps, will only be physical exercise. Exercise in some form will probably be required by the school authorities though perhaps not as military training.
Lieut. Richard L. Treeweeke, whose death was reported in Lawrence and Kansas City papers some time ago, has written to Prof. M. W. Sterling that " reports of his death were greatly exaggerated." He has been training automobile mechanics at a school in Chicago for several months and has not been. He expects to stay with the firm for a few weeks. Treeweeke received his commission at the second officers' training camp at Fort Sheridan.
He held the Valley record for the high jump and had represented the University in many meets. He was a student in the department of journalism and was editor of the Sour Owl. He is a member of Sigma Chi.
Plain Tales From the Hill
The question was asked, "How many men from Company X want to quit the University on being discharged," and the men stepped forward, "Company, Halt!" came a voice from the ranks.
Slowly and reverently, four men came around the corner of one of the barracks, each grasping the handle of an oblong wooden box. Their hats were off and they carried them hold tight against their breast as they moved slowly toward the street car tracks. Groups of men along their path stopped and conversed in low tones as the cortegue passed them, and watched it until it had passed beyond their sight.
"I don't want to get out of the service," said the gob. "Why. If I got ou and went home, I'd have to work."
No, gentle reader, the box did not contain a private who had been shot at sunrise; the Russian rifles were being sent away.
The penalty for sleeping during study hours at the barracks is severe. Men in Bain 5 burned corks Friday night and decorated their sleeping beauties with moustaches, beards, and beauty spots.
"No, I didn't go to Company A's farewell," sobbed the fair one. "You know, that company made up of six footers, and I'm only four feet eight."
Fellowship in Chemistry Awarded Doctor Faraghe
Dr. Paul Faragher of the department of Chemistry left Saturday for Pittsburgh, Pa. He has been awarded a fellowship in the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, and will remain in that institution carrying on original research work along industrial chemical lines for a year or more.
The system of industrial fellowships was originated at the University of Kansas by Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan, former professor of Industrial Chemistry here. Later he was taken to the University of Pittsburgh. The Mellon Banking interests became interested in the project of industrial fellowships and supplied the money necessary to build a large laboratory for research along industrial chemical lines.
At the University of Kansas, State fellowships were substituted for industrial fellowships.
Mrs. Faragher will remain in Lawrence until spring.
Cafeteria to be Continued For Benefit of Students
The cafeteria in Myers Hall, which has been a decided success so far will be continued after the demobilizing of the S. A. T. C., say instructors in the department of home economics. The cafeteria may be looked on as a legacy from the expiring S. A. T. C., which has made the student lunch room a possibility instead of a long-hoped-for thing.
Vic Blackley Killed in France
Victor Blackley, who was enrolled in the University in 1917, has been reported killed in the casualty list. He enlisted at the beginning of the war and had been transferred from the quartermasters' corps to an infantry officers' training school in France in September. He was sent to the front soon afterward and was killed in his first fight. He as a member of Nu Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi.
Lack of Definite Order Delays Mustering Out Of K. U. Student Army
Arnistina Cisann, c'19, returned Monday from Kansas City where she visited her parents during the week-end.
Telegram of Last Week Merely Authorization—Committee Must Act
Jackies' Fate Yet In Doubt
Company May Go to Great Lakes for Discharge—New Contract May be Made
The work of demobilizing Section B of the Student Army Training Corps at the University of Kansas did not begin today as had been expected, on account of a delay in the orders from the Committee on Education at Washington.
The two adjutants who were instructed at the school they attended in Kansas City last week, were told not to begin the actual work of defending the city from the Committee on Education, according to Lieut. Thomas Madden.
The telegram received last week from the war department was an authorization for the demobilization, but not the order. The telegram from the committee is expected at any time, and according to Lieutenant Madden it was supposed to have reached here this morning.
Some of the blanks which will be used in the disbanding of the unit have arrived. The work will be some what delayed because no blanks for the physical examination have been sent.
The first thing that will be done toward the demobilization will be a physical examination given by the medical authorities of the Student Army Training Corps, and no discharge can be granted to any man until this physical examination is given-
The work of getting out the discharges to the men in the Student Army Training Corps will be done as quickly as possible, and it is thought that if the blanks arrive, the units will of the University within two weeks.
Just what the fate of the naval section of the S. A. T. C, will be has not been determined. They will not be discharged at the same time as the rest of the unit because no orders to that effect have come from the navy department. They may have to stay here or they may be ordered to the Great Lakes. If they stay here a new contract will be to have made for their housing and feeding. A telegram was sent to the navy department Friday by the commanding officers of this section. As yet no instructions have been received as to what to do with the 250 jackets.
At a meeting of the S. A. T. C. at the Gymnasium Saturday morning the men were urged by Captain Scher, Chancellor Strong and Dean Kelly to remain in the University, Of approximately 1500 men called to the gymnasium only 427 signed up to remain in school. Many of the men signed that they intended to leave K. U., as the ones who plan to depart from the University are the first who will be discharged.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university rather than merely print the news by standing for the ideals the University promotes, to be clear; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be generous; to be wise; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to serve the students of the University.

THE NEW CAMPAIGN
"The purpose of the student Young Women's Christian Association shall be to unify the women of the institution in loyalty to Jesus Christ, to lead them to accept him as their personal Saviour, to build them up in the knowledge of Christ, especially through Bible study and Christian service, that their character and conduct may be consonant with their belief. It shall thus associate them with the students of the world for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It shall further seek to enlist their devotion to the Christian Church and to the religious work of the institution."
When the membership campaign of the Y. W. C. A. is launched Tuesday, every woman in the University will be asked to become a member. When you sign a membership card, keep in mind the purpose of the organization and live up to it.
The Y, W. C. A. is the only inter denominal organization on the Hill. Every woman will have a chance to do her part.
The direct bearing of religion on every-day life has become more evident during the present war than ever before. The boys over there have not it face to face and it now remains to be seen how the women of the University will respond.
THE WAY WALKS OUGHT TO GO—
Every year, annually, each twelve months or about that often, the Kansan appeals to the students, "Please, Please do not cut across the grass and make ugly unisightly paths across the Campus Beautiful."
You've noticed that the paths not only do not disappear but blossom out each year with a whole lot of little brother and sister paths.
The path question was really settled a couple of thousand years ago by one Euclid who discovered that a straight line was the shortest distance between two given points, but the "Campus Beautiful" artists persist in laying out the walks in curves and triangles. We give the buzy, bustling students a rest this time and appeal to the layers out of the walks. But the paths remain.
JUST IN TIME
Had not the S. A. T. C come to an end when it did, it is quite likely that the camp here would have become a Valley Forge—perhaps a Waterloo for many of the men. Medical authorities who inspected the barracks early this fall were dubious as to their safety during the winter, and
predictions of an epidemic of pneumonia during the winter were made by faculty members of wide experience.
"The morge," as the last ward in Sunshine Hospital is known because the more serious cases were always taken there, might have been the last chapter of more cases recorded as "Died of Disease" had the barracks life been allowed to continue. Only the exigencies of a national crisis should demand that men be required to live under such conditions, and the War Department showed wisdom in discontinuing the Corps at the earliest possible moment.
Gloom and despair are doomed to confront the tightwad holiday shopper this year. No longer will the plea of war-time economy serve as sufficient excuse for a small outlay for Christmas purchases.
Tubby's Weekly Letter
Clip This Out and Send It to the K. U. Boy In France
Dear Old Scout:
So many thing happened last week it should take a speed artist to record them
Preceeding the K. U-Baker game Saturday, November 29, the gang got back into old time spirit and staged the first rally this year in the gym. It was some rally! The place was packed with guys in on D. D. clothes. A few women slipped in for seats in back, but some of 'em slipped out when the navy and army got out the gloves. Women are sure queer about some things. There was some singing, and Uncle Jimmy told us what he thought of the Missouri coach for boys with the flue and keeping them cooped up in the home barricks so we could mess 'em around in the big game. Thinking We practiced old Rock Chalk until the rattles hummed. Saturday, we trimmed the Baker squad, something like 20-6.
Long about Monday, the Kansan took a notion the S. A. T. C. bunch ought to be able to do as they pleased, now that the war is over, and went on record as urging the University to vote "Yes" on the motion made by the government to discontinue the unit here. A reporter had been down and looked through the cracks in our eleven palatial barracks, and decided no place for a human being to spend exceptation to our grudge. The Kansan also reckon exception to our grudge. Pretty fine of the Kansan. Most ideas had practically some ideas, but bent 'em under our hats. K. U., backed the paper and came out strong against the S. A. T. C., as an institution in peace times.
Orders have since come that all S. T. C. men here will be demobilized at 4-1. In the mean time no more drill or regulation work except early hours.
By the way, Francis Stevens, a K. U. grad, stopped off here on his way to France with the Presidential party in the hospital staff. He is on the lookout for him.
We got the Aggies to promise to come down Turkey Day to replace the Tigers. Had another peepst Wednesday night and everybody joined in and learned the new Aggie rattler:
"Oh me! Oh my!
We met the Aggie bunch in a field knee deep in slush and mud. It rained and snowed Wednesday night and continued part of Thursday—the sun did the rest.
Won't we black Manhattan's eye!
Won't she wear and won't she row
them down?
The score was 13-7 for the home team. It been a sickly football season all around, but K. U. has suffered the loss of all its staff of coaches and many of its old players. There be no post-season game this year. We'll be budding on you fellows to come back and put us back in the ranks.
One of the sad things here is the conservation, clothing idea. High school swatfers and blue jeans are worn piecing out the S. A. T. C. outfit's clothing adding to his supply of military clothes. It sure looks like peace.
The whole U. S. is back to normal. Witness the Christmas shopping lists in the papers, and the crowds at the dances. Folks have picked up dancing just where they left off. The fellows have the same camel back hump despite their military training. Habit is hard to break.
Here's looking forward to a line rom you.
Yours,
TUBBY.

The rhetoric department has been trying to march in step out of tune with the times. The college students have been marching along at the same old pre-war Addisonian, Johnsoninion time, handing in papers on the "A Winter Scene." or "My Trip Through the Rockies," to bring out the fact that a preposition is a poor word to end a sentence with.
Come on, Rhetoric Students, keep up with the one, two, three, four of the S. A. T. C. boys, who are learning to write military letters, military ordnance, military reports, not to mention the subjects in the War Issues courses.

Walnut Shortage Impends Unless More Walnut Nuts Are Planted, Says Prof
Kansans Formerly Used Highly Valuable Wood as
Squirrels Good Reforesters
Government Points Out Need of More Frequent Arbor Day Efforts
The government is urging the planting of black walnut, red oak and other trees in a forehanded movement to replenish the vanishing hardwood supply. While there is no real pressing necessity of replenishing the forests, says Prof. W. C. Stevens, chattahoochee attorney of all those who know anything about this subject realize that there is a coming need.
The walnut tree is of particular importance at this time. It's texture, graining and general characteristics make it the best wood for gun stocks. It also is perhaps the best wood for furniture making.
"When the early settlers came to Kansas they found great groves of splendid walnut trees in this part of the state," said Professor Stevens. "But they were not aware of the great tree that produced walnuts, as fuel and thus greatly wasted the same trees that now are so valuable and scarce.
PLANTED BY SQUIRRELS
"In planting these trees the walnuts should be planted in the places where the trees are wanted; that is, they should not be started in nurseries and then transplanted, since the best results cannot be obtained in this way. In the early 80's a report was made at a horticulture meeting emphasizing the fact that after years of experience it had been proved that it was almost uneasy to transplant the walnut tree because the plant was planted by the squirrels. They bury the nuts in the fall of the year for future supply, then forget where they are buried and thus in time new trees are found in these places.
"Walnut trees start out as do the oaks, with long tap roots instead of fibrous roots, as do a great many trees. A walnut tree does not do well in dry climates. It needs a good supply of moisture. This accounts for the fact that these trees do not thrive in these extremes and there are generally dwarfed. The walnut trees are abundantly distributed from the Atlantic to the Mississippi Valley, and some are found far south as the Gulf, and north as Ontario."
THREE IN A MARKET CASE
There is a vast difference in the size of these trees in different localities, owing to the variety of conditions under which they grow. No definite are can be given as the time when a tree is best for use as lumber or Steven says, but his argument is that is must at least 100 years old or more than that. All walnut trees should be cut down in their prime so as to give room for younger trees, and he feels that they have not reached this stage of life until 100 years old or more.
The walnut trees in Marvin Grove on the Hill are more than 30 years old, according to Mr. Stevens, and they are not large nor nearly ready to be cut down and used as lumber. A walnut tree must be about 15 years old before it bears nuts.
Walnut wood is one of the very best of cabinet woods. It is in the class with the white oak, red gum, birch, chestnut and sycamore. The mahogany is a particularly fine wood but is a tropical tree. For other structural purposes the ash is greatly improved and cheaper furnishing of the wood for the amount of ash and walnut wood was used in the building of Fraser Hall.
In obtaining wood from most kind of trees lumbermen will take entire groves, using young and old trees alike and not discriminating because of age. But in the lumbering of walnut trees the ones that are older and thus more desirable are selected and cut down while the younger trees are left to grow until they too have trees reached their prime. The larger trees are free from the wood, which much more desirable for cabinet wood. Of course, if the wood is simply wanted for firewood, the small as well as the large trees are utilized.

Bean Soup From Japan May Solve Food Problem In U.S., Says Professor
Dr. E. H. S. Bailey Believes Fat East Can Help Cut H. C. of L.
the department of chemistry has received from a former student, Professor Takaki, a copy of the "Japan Magazine," printed in English, in which appears an instructive article on Canned Food Exports. Professor Takaki was born Harvard, came to the University of Kansas to take special work in food chemistry under Dr. E. H. S. Bailley. In his magazine article he says:—
"The slogan of America's food commissioner, Mr. Hoover, that 'Food Will Win,' has taken hold upon the public mind and the demand for preserved food of all kinds is now immense. This has created a situation that the Japanese tinned food industry exactly needed, and of which it is taking full advantage. In the production of processed foods we help the Allies more than she can in many other ways. She has the capacity to produce cheap food beyond all her rivals, and if she pushes her advantage in this respect to its fullest limit she will place her canning industries on a permanent basis."
"Since there is still a demand for meat products in this country,"国家保护Bailey said, "and the prices are high, we shall look to the far East for additional supplies now that our ships are free to move to foreign ports. In Chinna, Koren, and Japun, there is no great demand for meat, as the natives do not use it to the extent that we do. It is suggested that the meat be exported from Japan in tins and that it be inspected at the packing houses by American inspectors. Our food has fats and portions as a basis, while that of the Aisatis has starch as a basis.
"Japan depends largely for food supply on fish and vegetables. She has an abundance of the very best varities of fish, and this can be readily canned and exported to the United States. There is already a large demand here for canned salmon and crab meat. Japanese beans and peas have as good flavor and as high food value as any on the market. The emphasis on the importation of California has been advocating the importation and use of a Japanese bean soup known as Missoshiru, and sait it better than milk.
"This is the daily food for millions of Japanese. They also put up a pork and beans, using the soya beans which are chee in Japan. Canned

oysters and shell fish are also very common. The market price of oysters is thirty times higher in America than in Japan, so there should be a sufficient margin to make the exportation profitable. It is proposed to have three different visions of the Japanese Higher Agricultural School "and Fishing School," so that the quality of the product should be the best obtainable."
War Bread and Other Substitutes Wanining
Did you know that war bread was a thing of the past? Did you think that you were still eating your daily portion of wheat substitutes?
Well, you maybe but the chances are five to one that you are eating straight white flour pre-war bread and because of the flurry of the flu and the excitement of armistice you probably never knew the difference.
The ban on all wheat bread was lifted more than a week ago, and bakers are not compelled to use any substitutes in their breads. Some few, however, who have substitutes on hand are using them in small quantities and there are still restrictions on use of shortenings and sugar by the bakers, but even these are to be lifted in one or two months.
But what about the people who have formed a war bread preference? The doctors told us that the coarser breads were better for us, and Hoover told us that the mixture breads were the only kind for us so we patriotically ate it until some of us find that we like it far better.
Well, if you are one of these you will need not be denied because the bakers will still continue to bake different mixture breads. But it will probably not be long before we will grow away from them and be on a straight white bread diet, forgetting our bread along with sautéed coffee.
The cafeteria at the hostess house which at present is using baker's bread will soon be serving a variety of breads made by the students in the department of home economics.

Pikers and Huskers Will Play for Title Of Missouri Valley
Question Raised as to Validity of Claim, Considering Number of Games
The Washington Pikers and the Nebraska Huskers are planning to decide the Valley Championship for this season at a post-season game to be played between Dick Rutherford's eleven and his alma mater in St. Louis Saturday. The two teams have each won the only Valley game they have played this season. They contend that the winner of the Nebraska-Washington clash should be awarded the Valley championship.
No Valley team has been awarded the championship in the past with but two Valley games played, and the directors will not recognize as the Valley champions, the winners of a post-season game between two teams who have played but a single Valley game. The winner of the contest will be the popular Valley champion, but an award by the Valley heads would be practically impossible and is very improbable.
The Huskers base their right on such a claim by their victory over the Jayhawks, who in turn defeated the Aggies. The Pikers have won over the Drake eleven in their only Valley game. The Pikers also won over the St. Louis U. eleven at St. Louis on Thanksgiving Day, and Rutherford classes his team as championship material on the strength of that victory.
The Huskers have a strong team this year and should find little trouble in disposing of the Pikers. Rutherford's ambition is to score a win over the team he made victorious in the Valley a few years ago when he played with the mighty Chamberlin on the Husker team.
The Jayhawkers can claim no right to the Valley title because of their lose to the Huskers on the Lincoln Pond. The Kansans will not play any post-season games.

W.A.A. Gets More Than 300 In Membership Campaign
In its membership campaign last week the Women's Athletic Association increased its number to three to four hundred women. This is the largest membership the association ever has had. The membership previously never has exceeded two hundred fifty. The increased membership is produced by members of the University women are taking in athletics since the Senate ruling compelling all University women to take some form of exercise.
No woman can enter any athletic contests unless she is a member of the association. A membership in the association also admits the holder to all the woman's basketball games and the annual circus.
the annual election of officers for the association will be Thursday. All nomination petitions must be in tonight. The first ticket to appear is the "All athletic A" ticket. Those running on this ticket are Carol Martin, president; Doria Drought, business manager; Frank Tsant, secretary; Wealthy Babacock, senior representative; Iris Russell, junior representative; Clara Nigg, sophomore representative; Florence Chase, freshman representative.
The other ticket is Irene Tihen,
president; Wahagelt Wagstaff, secretary-
treasurer; Jeannene Parkinson, Dor-
sen; and Anna Wilhelm, class representatives.

Start Regular Gym Work For All Students Soon
Recreative Games Will be Feature of Physical Work When S. A, T. C. Ends
S. A. T. C. Ends
Regular physical education for the men students of the University will probably be resumed very soon, now that the S. A. T. C. has been discontinued. Whether the old system of gym three times a week will be used, has not been definitely decided, said Coach Hamilton. - That rule compels all seniors and junior to take regular physical exercise twice a week, and all sophomores and freshmen three times a week.
It is doubted by the committee on physical education for men, that the gymnasium will border on the military aspect at all. Coach Hamilton hopes to give the men recruitive games, the kind that will keep them
"Cargeball and pushball are two good sports, and are real, rough-and-tumble games," said the coach, "so if the men think they are getting something soft, they will be surprised. The men are in fine condition now from their military drill, and the idea is to keep them so."
If any change in the old system is to be made at all, it will be taken up at the Senate meeting next Tuesday night. Otherwise things will move in the gymnasium, as far as the men are concerned, in the pre-war way.
Prof. Goldsmith Denies Capt. Scher's Charges
Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, in answer to Captain Scher's charges that the liquor bottles found in the officers' club by the police had been left there by members of the Kanza fraternity, has issued the following statement: "To Whom It May Concern:
"I in view of the statement of Captain B. T. Scher that the liquor and beer bottles found at the officers' club were left there by the Kanza club, the owners of the house, I wish to say, first, that he has been absolutely misrepresented in such a statement, which he did not make of his own knowledge; second, that I lived in the house with the Kanza club with my wife and small daughter for three years, and during that time never saw liquor or any intoxicating beverage, although I have been in all parts of the house and in every room, from the top floor to the cellar, frequently; third, that I was in the house on the day the Kanza club moved out and inspected every room and the cellar, and there were no liquor or beer bottles in the house.
"I can make affidavit to the above facts."

"Stay Rest Of Quarter And Get Full Credit Says Dean F. J. Kelly
Men Staying in K.U. Should Get Names On Class Rolls
War Course Credits Count
No More Military Courses Nex Quarter-Hill To Be Normal
"Men who are discharged from military service and go home immediately without, completing the semester's work will receive no credit for the work they have already done," said F. J. Kelly this morning.
Of the 1611 men who have been inducted less than 500 have signified that they will withdraw from college as soon as given their discharges, according to information gathered by Dean Kelly.
Many men voted to leave the University as soon as discharged so as to exert an influence in getting the S. A. T. C. disbanded. Others voted to stay thinking that such a vote would have an effect.
Regardless of the manner in which they voted, those who wish to remain in school should report to the various offices where the class rolls that are now being formed.
"Any men who consider that they have so neglected their work that it would be useless to remain in college on the job," he said back next quarter, "and back next quarter," said Dean Kelly.
"There is no reason why the time they have put in this semester should not count, or that they should not receive credit in their regular college course for war courses this quarter. The man who wants to make his work count will stay here these last three weeks, and will finish up the courses in which he is enrolled to the best of his ability."
No military courses will be offered next quarter and college work will again be normal.
November Had Highest Humidity in 51 Years
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 3, 1918.
Two Scholarships Open For Women at University
The total amount of rainfall in November has been exceeded only twice within this period of fifty-one years, in 1879 and in 1909. The total amount of rainfall last month, included, the meisted snow, was 4.16 inches.
November of this year has distinguished itself by having the highest relative humidity which has been recorded is fifty-one years, according to Prof. F. E. Kester, who is in charge of the K. U. weather bureau. It is the highest that has ever been recorded in the weather office here. The mean humidity for the month was 83.8 per cent.
Two scholarships are open to the women of the University. All women who expect to enter are urged to get their names to Miss Eugenie Galton at
The Frank Egbert Bryant Memorial Scholarship is open to all women in the college, who are above the freshman class, and all those in the graduate school. The scholarship given by Mrs J. B. Watkins is open to freshman women only.
Mrs. Rader Complimented For Diet Kitchen Work
Miss Esther Wilson, instructor in Grace, wishes to correct the statement that she was one of the dieticians supervising the kitchen during the three weeks of influenza epidemia at the barracks. She with five other members of the faculty, worked in the kitchens under the supervision of Mrs. Ralph Rader, a professional dietician, who organized and directed the work,
Misa Wilson feels that this explanation is due in order to give the proper foundation.
Next Play Comes December 11
"A Proposal Under Difficulty" will be presented at the Little Theater, Wednesday, December 11. "Suppressed Desires," the dramatic play given last week, was well attended in spite of the bad weather. Professor Kendrie furnished the music, and candidates for the dramatic club gave readings.
Home Folks Read Vivid Tales Of S.A. T.C.Life
The men in the service here spend a lot of time writing letters home that are full of brags and whines about their work. Several letters have been found on bunks at inspection which were unfinished and the sergeants have filled a few of the best ones.
"Say, you ought to see me and the officers," the contents of one letter. "They're great boys when you get to know them. All you have to do is to smoke the cigars and maybe slip them a car-ride or two and they'll let you by."
The writer of this letter evidently tried to impress the home folk with the fact that he is a "regular fellow." Such letters are termed "pipe dreams" by other members of the S. A. T. C.
Among the collection of home letters were found a few plaintive wails, typical of the homesick boy. "It's tough to be among strangers," said one writer. "I don't have anybody to talk to. I don't get much to eat and all I do is to work. I wish you folks could see me."
The collection also includes the same and sensible home letters, cheerful
"This is the regular life," is a frequent expression. "The army isn't half bad. Expect to stay on when the S. A. T. C. demobilizes."
According to the majority of men in the S. A. T. C, the men who do not have the back bone to write a straight letter home are the ones in the company who are not making good. These men suggest that company funds be used to provide youthful amusement for writers of the "impressionistic" type of correspondents

The great American sappro, Miss Lucy Gates, will appear in concert Friday night in Fraser Chapel. Miss Gates is one of the most famous of American singers. She was in Europe at the outbreak of the war. Upon her return to the United States she was chosen to appear in concert with Galli Curci.
Owing to the changing personnel of students in the University, it is impossible to have season tickets, and single admission ticket only will be sold. These will be on sale at the Round Corner Drug Store and the business office of the University, December 2. The price of admission is $1.00 for parquet and $.75 for the gallery.
Charles Bricken was found guilty on two liquor counts in police court this morning and was fined $200 and costs by Judge Fred Clark. A jail sentence of 60 days was suspended as a parole. Bricken pleaded guilty to the charge of having liquor on his premises.
E. C. Bricken Fined $200
On Two Liquor Counts
Bricken's home at 711 West Twelfth street was raided Thursday night following a raid on the Officers' Club, 1215 Oread Avenue. James H. Monroe, chief of police, was unable to say this morning whether the matter would be taken up by the federal authorities.
Minor Influenza Cases Not At All Alarming Say Health Authorities
Many Cases of Severe ColdS Given Unusual Care Because of Epidemic Possibilities
Unless some unlooked for angle of the influenza situation presents itself today, no move to close the University will be taken by the health authorities, said Dr. A. W. Clark, city health commissioner this morning.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine, did not make his acquaintance Tuesday trip to Law and Medicare there. There is no occasion for alarm.
That the influenza situation among the students of the University has not again assumed serious proportions, is the belief of the Student Hospital authorities. The hospital on Louisiana Street now has thirteen women patients and two men patients, and is attending some half dozen outside cases. None of the cases are at all of a serious nature. The line between a severe cold and the influenza is so thin in normal times when there was no fear of an epidemic the majority of these cases would pass either as severe colds or light form of 'be la grippie.'
There are no cases of influenza in the S. A, T. C. infirmary.
Local health officials are of the opinion that these colds are the natural result of the first snow and slush of the season, on Thanksgiving day and the following few days, and is nothing to become alarmed about at this time, if the usual precautions are observed.
The women of the University are availing themselves of the facilities at the hospital this year more than ever, they are realizing the hospital is theirs and for their welfare. The university is at stage of an operation at this time no higher than it should be in normal times, authorities say.
Mistletoe Girls Will
Invade Hill Tomorrow
Eight More Candidates Out for Beauty Contest of Peace
On account of the late arrival of the Jayhawk subscription books the Mistletoe girls were not on the campus this morning taking subscriptions for the 1919 Peace Book. They will be out in full force tomorrow morning and will be prepared to subscribe and cast their votes for their favorite beauty candidate.
Tulie Louise Shepherd, Alice Decking, Martha Thoma Edmon, EDNA chain, Jessie Buck, Thelma Huston, Charman, Arnice, Clara Goulden, Goldie
Eight more candidates have been added to the list of thirty named yesterday. They are:—
Of the thirty-six candidates, the six receiving the most votes will be the winners of the beauty contest and the winner of a page of pictures in the Peace Book.
The Peace Book plans are now practically complete, according to Fred Rigby, editor-in-chief. It will have a leather binding, stamped and embosed in gold and black. The dominating colors will be khaki and black.
Registrar Foster announces that the government will discontinue paying the fees of men in the S. A. T. C. at its disbandment. Laboratory and hospital fees, matriculation dues, etc., with the amount deducted while the students were in the army, will be levied for the remainder of the year. Its disbandment. Laboratory and hostese expenses for the whole school year but it seems the plan has been changed.
Men Will Pay Fees
"The division pages in the book will be one of the most unique features of the book," said Mr. Rigby. "Each page will depict some phase of the war, from the declaration of war to the signing of the armistice and perhaps some reconstruction ideas will be used as divisions. This will be a great relief from the wormout idea of using classy co-eds with fancy back grounds. In using some of the war and peace phases the book will be very valuable as a pictorial history of the University during the war."
Owing to the Ilnes of Professor Kendrie, the University Orchestra will not hold its regular rehearsal this week.
Members of Section B May Not Be Discharged Before End of Quarter
Delay in Receipt of Blanks Continues to Prevent Mastering Out
Demobilization of Section B of the Student Army Training Corps at the University of Kansas did not begin today on account of the failure of orders to arrive from the committee on education.
"The work of demobilization is at a standstill until orders come from the committee saying the actual work of demobilization is to begin," said Capt. Bruno T. Scher, commandant, this morning.
It was thought when the authorization of demobilization was received last week from the war department that the entire unit would be cleared out of the University in about two weeks. But since the delay has occurred it may be that the unit will not be discharged entirely until the end of the quarter, or about December 21.
The work of demobilizing both sections of the detachment will be done by Leic. Thomas Madden, adjutant, Ralph E. Carter, personal adjutant.
One Hundred Voices Sing in Peace Chorus
Governor and Mrs. Arthur Capper Attend Victory Concert
More than one hundred citizens of Lawrence and members of the University took part in the Peace Concert given in Robinson gymnasium last night. The concert celebrated the Allied victory and was the first of this kind to be given in the United States.
Governor and Mrs. Arthur Capper attended the concert. Two of the songs given by the mixed chorus were written by Mrs. Capper.
The chorus was trained and led by Prof. Arthur Nevin. Prof. Carl Preyer, rendered a group of three piano-forte pieces of his own composition.
Boxing to Become Part Of Athletic Training
Physical Training Will Be Modeled After That in Army
Camps
Boxing will play a more important part in the curriculum of the department of physical education next semester than it has during previous years.
W. O. Hamilton, director of athletics, is making an effort to remove the spirit of drudgery that has so often been attached to any required form of exercise. The general plan is to model somewhat after the methods that were so successfully used at the larger cantonnets.
Boxing will be a required part of the work for each man enroiled in the department will be classified according to their weights and ability and if enough men are found who have exceptional ability they will be separated and given that form of exercise alone.
Mass games and drills it is supposed will bring a more enthusiastic response from the students than could mat work and apparatus exercisers.
Phi Beta Kappa to Eject
The Phi Beta Kappa Council, which is composed of members, will meet in Fraser Hall, Room 206, Friday at 4:30 o'clock. New members will be elected to Phi Beta Kappa at this meeting.
Conch Hamilton has several men under consideration as instructor in the 'manly art'. Among them, Tommy Murphy of Kansas City, amateur light weight champion of the United States, is probably first choice.
Phi Beta Kappa To Elect
Elizabeth Hunt and Rirk Kurb,
who have been visiting Lois Hunt,
c20, for the past week, returned today to their homes at Conway Springs.
Now that everyone has had a chance to get all the gossip out of his system and into print through the medium of the Pewee and the Hoot Owl, maybe K. U. can resume work again.
Deane Ackers Promoted And Cited for Bravery
Dean Ackers, e17, has been promoted from first lieutenant to captain. He is serving in France now as an intelligence officer. He was formerly a Lieutenant in dispatches for special bribery in the Chateau Thierry fighting.
He was commissioned second lieutenant at the first officers' training camp at Fort Riley and was sent to France immediately after receiving a commission in commandal fighting. He is a member of Beta Theta Pi and Theta Tau.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Private might gain a bit of cheese from the tale, perhaps more than a rumor, which says that two leuconte ants did kitchen police at one of the sorority houses last Sunday night. Fudge aprons and gold bars no longer strangers, according to the story.
The old teaching is that the emblem of peace is the olive branch. Yet the Jayhawker, which comes cut this year as a Peace Book, seems to endorse the mistletoe.
Some of the S. A. T. C, men have a new way to put pressing establishments out of business. They carefully fold their clothes in their one-time creases and as carefully wind them about the hot barracks stove-pipes. A few moments of this treatment and, presto, the poor soldier has a freshly pressed suit and is a kopeck or two ahead.
University women, who intend to have library dates will have to come to Spooner early hereafter or else stand up. Last night practically every library chair was taken by some S. A. T. C. man engrossed in the study of War Aims or Military Map Reading. There were only three women in the library when the study period began, while a week ago the men were just as searce.
"Beam soup from Japan may solv

Presidents of Houses Will Confer Thursday
W. S. G. A. Will Co-operate With Government of Each House
A meeting of the president of all rooming-houses for women will be held in Room 210, Fraser Hall, Thursday, December 5, at 4:30 o'clock. This is the first of a series of meetings which will be held during the year, the object of which is to bring the Women's Students Government Association into closer relationship with every K, U, woman.
A circular letter has been sent to all room-houses asking the women in each house to ordinarize, so the house president may co-operate with the W. S. G. A. and the Dean of Women through the house presidents' meetings. This closer organization will make it easier for all the women in school to understand and observe the University rulings, according to the Dean of Women-and W. S. G. A. board members.
Two Put on Budget Committee
Prof. A. J. Boynton and Prof. H. P. Cady are the two new members elected to the college budget committee. The results were announced today by Prof. U. G. Mitchell, secretary of the faculty of the college of the committee are Professors F. H. Hodder, A. T. Walker, F. E. Kester, and W. C. Stevens.
Jewish Relief Days Named
Governor Arthur Capper last week issued a proclamation designating December 10 to 14 inclusive as Jewish Relief Days, and urged the people to contribute for the relief of destitute Jews in the belligerent countries.
El Ateneo Open to All
The Spanish club, El Atenco, will meet Wednesday at 4 o'clock in Room 311, Fraser Hall. An interesting program will be given by the professors of the department of Spanish. The club will hold a series of meetings this year, which are intended to be of interest and value to all Spanish students. Everyone in the department is invited to attend.

The money will be sent from the Lakes December 5, and will be paid out Sunday at Robinson Gymnassium. The army contract for housing and feeding the men in the S. A. T. C. will run out in a few days and some arrangements will have to be made to take care of the naval section until they are released or discharged.
No announcement about the clothing of the men in the naval section has been made but the requisition for clothing is in. The men will be allowed to wear their uniforms seven months after being released or discharged.
Marine Officers to Leave Naval Section This Week
The marine officers who have had charge of the men in the naval section will leave the camp some time this week. They will remain here until the clerical work of the company is arranged, so the new company commander will be able to take charge. Lieut. H. B. McPeak will probably go to sea and the marine sergeants expect to be returned to their respective posts. They may be sent to San Francisco.
Sergeant Birl F. Adams will probably be ordered back to the marine recruiting station in Kansas City first. pects to get .rachnoth Sergeant Hugh Ray expects to get his discharge from the marines within a month. Sergeant Henry Fields will go to New Orleans or San Francisco.

Hamilton, manager of Kansas athletics. Dewell and Rodley, former K. U. cross-country men, are working out with several new men daily in preparation for the Kansas City run. Both are good men and with them as a mainstay the Kansas manager expects to be able to send a good team of runners to the meet.
Soldiers Give Wood to Poor
Several men of Section B extended the activities of the S. A. T. C, to include in its benefits an aged woman of Lawrence who was unable to buy fuel. The men borrowed one of Uclem Sam's big motor trucks, filled it full of waste lumber and driftwood gathered from different places and hauled the load to the house of the aged woman (name deleted by the censorship of decency). Lieutenant Cramer and Lieutenant Constans are said to deserve the credit of planning this raid on poverty.
Gymnastics classes for men will begin Wednesday, December 4. at 10:50, 2:50, and 3:45 o'clock. W. O. Hamilton, Director of Athletics.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, thereby more than merely printing the news by standing for the demo the University has organized to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to be problem solvers; to be wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students the students of the University.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1918.
WE WANT IT!
The end-of the war has done away with the necessity for conducting things military on a large scale. The usefulness of the Students' Army Training Corps is ended, but the nation must still have military preparedness.
Through adopting the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, the University can do its part in working for the defense of the nation should another conflict arise. According to many military authorities this is not only a possible, but a probable contingency.
Col. Theodore Reinach, of the French Mission, has expressed this view by saying, "With officers already trained at your universities you would be better prepared for the next war than you were for this." In the plans for the R. O. T. C., which is now offered to the University, it is stated that membership in the organization will be voluntary. Not all students would need to enter it, but as a maximum of three hours of drill-each week is required, it would be very easy for the average student to go into the Corps, thus fulfilling his peace-time obligation to the government.
The colleges and universities of the country are the logical source of army officers. The R, O, T, C. will probably be established in all schools now having the S. A. T. C., and in many smaller institutions.
A commanding officer and two commissioned junior officers would give the necessary discipline to prevent a failure similar to last year's attempt at a student regiment. The military discipline would help maintain school spirit.
The University of Kansas will be depriving its men of an opportunity to serve their country as officers in case of another war, and will find itself out of step with the other large schools of the country if it does not adopt the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
Rumor has it the kaiser hasn't given up. The Clown prince is negotiating with revolutionists to place him and his papa back in the family homestead. Heinie still feels he must help heaven to run the universe.
SWAT THE RUMOR
Of all the blatant busybodies, Dame Rumor leads the process. On the heels of the opening of school came the supposition that the fu was spreading and that eventually the University would have to close for the rest of the quarter. The Kansan has
ignored these rumors, occasionally running a news story to the effect that local health authorities pronounced the flu epidemic under control.
A few new cases of flu developed and Dame Nurror hurried to spread the glad tidings, increasing the number of new cases with each telling of the tale.
Today the rumor was again hammering to make itself heard. As it has seemed to draw converts to its way of thinking it is time to check it,
These exaggerated tales will undermine the most optimistic student body ifnot denied. Challenge the next person who comes to you with a flu rumor. Pin him down to facts. Get him to acknowledge that his information in second-hand, or that conditions are not so serious as he has pictured them.
The University of Kansas is batting to keep its doors open for the sake of the students. If closed again, the disorganization will be serious and the results will be hard to overcome.
The next time the rumor circulates, in your vicinity, swait it; and if you go a step farther and swat the originator, so much the better.
Help to keep the University open.
One of the fortunate things about peace is that the street loaler will be back on the job.
Let us hope that the demobilization if S. A, T. C, will soon be accomplish! When University men come to the point where they have to sit around in circles playing 'Simon says thumbs up' and drop the handkerchief with their officers to keep themselves amused, it is time to take serious steps to prevent an annoying rivalry between the kindergarten and the University.
SANTA CLAUS IS BACK
Santa Claus is back on the job. After two years of idleness, the banished saint will be allowed to deliver his wares this year. The National Council of Defense has removed the ban on Christmas shopping.
Fill up the family wallet. This year Aunt Lucy will be looking for the labot promised four years ago.
The twins will be critical of the mechanical toys handed them. You can't get past Johnny or Jamie with the plea that it's war time and Santa didn't have the latest toy model in his workshop.
Mary's going to demand a doll with real hair and Grandma will want the gay scarf for which she's been yearning. Perfume ought to come back into this style this year, and bedroom slippers for dad. Dad's met the emergency for several years by padding the old slippers with newspapers. Cuff links, silver souvenir spoons, monogrammed toilet sets, and fancy waste baskets will all be signs of the season's greetings. The hire girl will want jewelry. Ties and socks and cigars will be back in the running with Mary Ann exhibiting once more her exquisite sense of choice. And fancy calendars will again come into their own.
Taking it all in all, it will seem like Christmas.

Editor Kansan:—
In the last few days men on the Hill who are members of the S. A. T. C and have fraternity brothers who are officers in the army here have been receiving privileges which others have been denied solely because the officers and privates belong to the same fraternity. This is not fair to the men on the outside and a true fraternity man would not stoop to such a low act. This has been done and is being done here all the time. It is a poor practice and causes the discipline in the companies to become lax, as the general feeling is that there is no use trying to make good when the other fellow has the pull, even though the man on the outside is the best man. It is a condition that should not exist anywhere and least of all in the army.

Because so many lack information about the force to which we abply the term "Bolshevism" one of the faculty members who has spent much of his time in Russia when asked to ex-

Russia Tried Experiment Once Before With Tragic Results
The Revolutionary movement in Russia had its beginning when the officers who invaded France during the Napoleonic wars returned with a desire to introduce new ideas into Russian politics. Secret societies with which Alexander I, was privately in sympathy were organized. Nicholas I an energetic ruler, stamped out the among intelligent peoples. During the first half of the nineteenth century all the literary men of Russia were imbued with new ideals. The liberation of the serfs under Alexander 2, was done under pressure and was far from being all that could be desired. An organization of the Terrorists made the mistake of assassinating Alexander 2, and his son Alexander 3. They then came forward with reactionary ideas and the next period saw Russia going back into darkness rather than forward into enlightenment. The revolutionary tendency began to mix with socialism and the question was no longer how to copy western governments but to find a way to try out ideas in government. The Russian has had no chance to use any influence in government affairs, or to be trained in politics. Steady growth and development resulted without experience. Until the Duma was opened no less than half-dozen factions were represented among those were the Social Revolutionists who were the Menshikvi and the Bolshivki. The letter was the extremists.
Linked with this question of party difference was that of poor industrial conditions. Men ill paid, dissatisfied, with no common interest and no chance to rise became extremes of the worst kind known. The aristocracy, the aristocraties and the peasants, with no class between to act in a "buffer."
To these discontented people without any patriotism as we know it, merely a feeling of the power of their nation, came the war. The average soldier knew nothing of why he was killing and had no definite aim in view.
War with its attendant misery and poverty heaped on the smouldering fires of revolution proved too much for Russia and the insurgent forces of the various factions are tearing at the city. The sheen "sheen" though it is merely the name of a portion of the movement that's striving for recognition.

Basket Ball Practice Held Up By Dances In Robinson Gymnasium
Winning Five Impossible Under Circumstances, Hamilton— Schedule Arranged Soon
The basket ball team has been handicapped by the use of the gymnastium for conventions, meetings and dances and has been unable to get the necessary practice to put out a winning five. The men will not get down to real work this week as there will be three dances at the gym. The Peace concert held up practice Monday night. Preparing the floor for dancing makes it impossible to hold a snappy practice, according to W. O. Hamilton, director of athletics.
Coach Hamilton will go to Kansas City to attend the meeting of the Valley coaches, Friday, and to arrange the schedule for the Kansans for the coming season. It is probable that games will be scheduled with Nebraska, Washington, Manhattan Missouri and Ames. The Kansas manager may schedule some preliminary games with teams in the Kansas conference.
"The first year men probably will be used on the teams in the Valley this season with the end of the S. A. T. C even though it has not been the custom in years past. The schools need the first year men more than ever now that the army will go as many of the men will leave school and no new men will return to fill their places. We will, even have a smaller number to choose from than formerly," said Coach Hamilton last night.
Matthews is taking charge of the men at present and will work with them when possible. Bunn is out for the five now. These two men will put the Kansas team in the running and the team will be built around them. Slonker is a good man and may be used at center. Turner is showing up well. He played with Poly Tech in Kansas City last season. Young, a Normal football man last year is out for the five and will probably make the team. He has a place on the sound cinched.
The men will be able to get down to hard work after the holidays.
Athletic Manager Must Be Consummate Diplomat
The advance agent of a big circus should obtain his preliminary training as an athletic manager. No other position, we are sure, teaches a person how to tactfully meet the demand for complimentary tickets for all the big games.
Every ward politician, regardless of his strength, considers his position one that unquestionably entitles him to a pass. All of the "big guns" or those who consider themselves as such, become greatly interested in the sport providing the temporary hobby does not require financial outlay.
But newspaper men are the greatest violators. Of course, this can be expected, as those whose prosperity depends upon the public fancy are usually poorly paid. The telegraph operators, always early on the ground clicking their impersonations with great force to instil the fact that they must usually work, seem surprised when the ticket-taker disagrees with them.
Every reporter who has ever written sport is sure to be present, as well as a representative from every paper within a hundred miles with no more valid excuses for admission than that their papers have always supported and advertised the contending teams.
To be a good athletic manager and not make enemies is an impossibility. To hold the number of "compus" to a minimum--that's super-impossible. Just ask William Omar about that!
A group picture of the 2918 football team will be taken at McCook Field at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon. Everyone must be present.
W. O. HAMILTON.

University Senate Adopts Dr. Strongs Suggestion For Budget Committee
Number of Teachers and Salaries To Be Paid Will Be Considered
Each School Represented
Chancellor Will Be Chairman of New Committee—Senate To Elect Members
The Chancellor's recommendation provided for "the appointment by each school of the University of a budget committee, (the College already having acted in this matter) to act upon the number of teachers in each department and the salaries to be paid."
The University Senate, Tuesday night, adopted the recommendation of Chancellor Frank Strong, providing for the appointment from each school of a budget committee.
A University budget committee is to be elected by the Senate from the budget committees of the various schools, it being understood that, if a school fails to elect a budget committee, the Senate shall elect that school's quota of representatives for the University budget committee.
Representation on the central committee will be about as follows, according to Chancellor Strong; three members from the College, two from the School of Engineering, one from the School of Medicine, and one from the School of Pharmacy. The Chancellor will be chairman.
Hostess House May Be Permanent Feature Here
Mrs. Wilnet Believes Students Would Welcome Home Center —Need Is Shown
"There is great need for the continuation of the hostess house throughout the year," according to Mrs. B, N Wilmot, who is in charge. "Although definite plans have not been made, we hope more steps will be taken to keep the house open. The appreciation of the boys cannot be over-estimated. Many refer to the hostess house as home. From twenty-five to forty men are in the room all the time. A "cupboard" is kept in one corner of the room where stamps and peanuts are sold to the boys.
"The pressing and mending room is one of the most humane things that has ever happened on the Hill," said Mrs. Wilmot. The cafeteria in connection also appeals to many-of the boys.
Council to Consider Rules For University Women
Every rooming house in Lawrence should be represented at the first meeting of the house presidents' council, Room 110, Fraser, at 4:30 o'clock. Thursday afternoon. Houses not represented will be asked to organize by the council of the W. S. G. A.
All rules governing University women will be discussed at the meeting tomorrow and the duties of house presidents defined. House presidents will work directly with the council of the W. S. G. A. instead of with a single member and a faculty member under the old district system.
Letters were sent to all rooming houses having three or more women, asking them to organize and to send a representative to the council. Marry Smith, vice-president of the W. S. G. A. will be chairman of the meeting.
Illustrated Lecture For S.A.T.C. Tonighi*

This entertainment with other that will follow is the result of the action taken by the Senate, Tuesday. A committee was appointed with Professor Terrill as chairman, to arrange for free lectures and other entertainments for men in the S. A. T. C. as long as they remain at the University.

Y.M. Secretary Assures
Men They Can Find Jobs
Parker Urges Old Fraternity Men to Freshmen In School
"The men who are here at the University for the first time should remain in school after the demobilization of the S. A. T. C," said Frank Parker, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., to representatives of the different fraternities who met last night at the Phi Psi house." Conditions will change and improve with the end of military work at K. U. A large number of men earn their way through the University each year, and no man should leave school because of the financial end of the matter.
"We can give men good places to work, and we have a new man to look after that end of the Y. M. office all the time," continued Mr. Parker. "The men who have been here before and who know K. U. will stay. It is up to the old men to hold the door for us so they be resumed within a short time, and things will be back to normal in a month's time."
Dr. Charles Henry, who has been sent to the Y. M. here from army Y. M. work at Leavenworth, is at the employment bureau in Myers Hall every day from 9 cclock, and is ready to leave when they find employment and rooms, after they are moved out of the barracks.

Men of Naval Section Signed Applications For Release From Duty
Unit Will be Continued Enough Remain as Meml. as
Meml rs
The men in the navy section signed their names for applications for release from active duty to inactive duty Tuesday. Nearly all of the men in the section asked for releases. Ensign Finnegan asked for men who wished to remain in a naval unit here and receive pay and subsistence from the naval department and 27 men from the civilian service unit will not be kept here unless a sufficient number will stay with the navy.
A coxswain and a nyeoman will be here soon to assist Assign Finnegan with the naval section. The marine sergeants will stay in Lawrence until the clerical work of the section is in good shape for the new commander. It will take at least three weeks to get the applications for release through, according to announcement by the commander. The men will receive their pay this week and will be paid regularly in the future.
S. A. T. C. Men Wrote 40,000 Letters Home
Frank Parker, secretary of the Y. M. C. A, at the University of Kansas said the Y. M. C. A has passed out 40,000 envelopes and 90,000 sheets of paper to the men in the army and navy here last month. The number of envelopes passed out is approximately the number of letters written home by a member of the U.S. listed men have written many letters on their own stationery.
Nothing But a Dog And Nobody Cares
The Y. M. C. A. has placed wrapping paper and twine in all barracks so the men can send bundles home at will. The men are advised to use this material sparingly.
Gladys Heath, c'21, is ill with the influenza.
Just a dog—a plain white cur with brown spots, one on his car and one on his back. He frisked happily along by the side of the young man who led him into Snow Hall. It's an old story—almost a joke. These animals must be sacrificed for the good of science. It's all right and nobody snivels about it except the ignorant and the chicken-hearted. But there is an objectional side to it. Not long ago a little yellow-haired boy living in Lawrence lost a mother and a little sister by way of the flu. He was loneless until his father brought him a little white dog, a homely lice cussed "Jiggins." But "Jiggins" and Billy passed many a happy hour together and little sister's place was soon almost killed. "Jiggins" was a friendly little soul, trustful to the very last hair in his stump of a tail. One day during an experiment in the Snow laboratories a dog was given too much anesthetic and the experiment was halted in a new animal could be procured. Everybody was on the lookout for a dog. "Jiggins," as usual was playing in the yard. Billy was having his afternoon nap and so Jiggins followed the nice men he coaxed him down the hill and moved to the campus to Snow Hall, where the delayed experiment was immediately resumed. "Jiggins" playing the leading role. But what of Billy when he awoke and ran out of doors for a romp with his faithful playmate? What of the big empty place in Billy's already broken heart? And what of that heart of Billy's which so badly needed to be soothed and comforted? The grief of a little boy over the loss of his dog cannot be reproduced in black and white.
There are scores of stray days in Lawrence which have no home, no friends, no food. Nobody would miss them and their bodies would lend as much to science as somebody's pet. The medical students are welcome and they will work on the little Billes of their beloved Jiggines. Merely a matter of sentiment, of course, the Billes are appealing to the medica.
The University of Missouri, had no football game nor guests. Thanksgiving Day, as a result of the new influenza quarantine.
Real Influenza Scarce Among K.U. Students Twelve Cases in S.A.T.C
Many Women in University Hospital With Bad Colds—All Precautions Observed
A flurry of Spanish influenza among the women of the University and the residents of Lawrence is indicated by reports today from the University Hospital and local physicians, but persistent rumors that the disease is again spreading among the members of the S. A. T. C. were denied by the health authorities of the military organization.
Several women who have been taking care of others who are ill in their rooms have contracted the disease because of the strain of nursing and the condition of the air in the slack rooms, other balloons and football games last week and the recent bad weather is responsible for other cases.
Lawrence physicians report a large number of light cases of influenza. Many cases are so light that is is impossible to distinguish between them and a bad cold, but all possible precautions are being taken in order to prevent illness which caused the closing of the University and the public schools.
The University Hospital is crowded with women suffering either with a light form of influenza or with bad colds, and many are ill at their rooms. The extra precautions that all women are being urged to take by the University health authorities is the principal reason for the crowded couldle. Women who are ill have Mary Height, who is in charge there. Women with colds which they would have neglected in other years are now going to the医院 with them.
Only one new case of influenza was brought to the S. A. T. C. infirmary today, bringing the total up to twelve, according to Lieut. Judson Allen. None of the influenza cases are severe, according to the officers inheses, but no precautions are being neglected to prevent the spread of the illness. Eight of eight men are recovering from effects of vaccination at the infirmary. All are members of a company whose men were vaccinated a week ago.
Regular Practice Bouts
Held By Debating Club
The regular meeting of the Debating Club was held Tuesday night in the Little Theater, Green Hall. A practice debate was given on the subject of adopting compulsory military training for colleges and universities. The affirmative of the question was taken by Lucile Hovey, D. O. Gregory, and M. L. Dubach, and the negative by Myrtle Bailey, Otto Hopfer, and Lewis E. Sewerson. The decision was for the affirmative.
Next week a debate will be held on the same question, stated thus: Resolved, That the United States should adopt a system of compulsory military training or colleges and universities. The training is understood to mean living in the barcracks under pay by government, and drilling two hours a day.
The wind has blown hard these days. It has blown up all sorts of rumors, that school was going to close immediately, that a term's credit would be given away, and similar reports.
Similar debates are held each Tuesday by the department of public speaking. Much interest is being shown in the work by S.A.T.C.men, civilian men, and women of the University.
Winds of Many Rumors Start Slacker Clock
It is admitted that the hands have changed places, but perhaps some enterprising person has moved them in an attempt to fool the public. The janitor denies the rumor, and the public refuses to believe that after all these years, a clock, so notorious for its inability to run, should start. So let the wind blow on, blowing the rumor where it has blown all others until the hands move once again.
In a vigorous puff it blew toward Blake Hall and now some one has whispered cautiously that THE clock, in front of Blake Hall, has started to run arach.
Kanzas Will Occupy
House December 10
Officers who occupy the Kanza House, which they have converted into the Field and Staff Officers' Club, will move out of the building and give possession, December 10. Harold O. Beisner, treasurer of Kanza, said today. Beisner denied that the developments following a raid of the police on the officers' club in search of liquor had anything to do with the officers giving up the house.
"Some of the officers expect to leave soon because of demobilization," said Beilner, "and will not need the house. Kanza is going to move into the house just as soon as its members get out of the S. A. T. C. We have twenty-seven members in the corps here."
A committee from Kanza Club inspected the House this afternoon, preparatory to taking possession.
Plain Tales From the Hill
To guard against any possible thievery of Army overcoats, men in the barracks have adopted the method of locking the coats. They hang them on the posts, putting the coats around the posts and inserting padlocks through the buttonholes.
A member of the faculty has discovered where the women got the style of hairdressing that is now so prevelent. He says they copied it from the common mountain goat, whose horns have just the proper shape and give the same general effect, when viewed from directly in front.
On the other hand, a University woman tries to explode this theory by the statement that if it were generally known how many hours girls spend fixing their hair like Norma Talmage, the power of the screen would not be underestimated.
"I don't mind giving up my rifle," wailed the gob, "but I do hate to lose that penny I had in it."
It is estimated by members of the Naval section that 265 pennies were gained by the men who collected the riffles Tuesday morning, most of the sailors having replaced nickels by one cent pieces. Now let some fair maiden ask why they keep a penny in the barrel of the rifle.
When the b. p. r. r.-buck private, rear rank-of the S. A. T. C, went the C. O. to get off K. P. and be put on Q. M. detail, he was marked A. W. O. L. by the C. Q. and now is O. O. L. Not only was this his initial attempt to get off K. P., but also it was his last one.
Men in the barracks who have been trying to keep warm these cold nights by sleeping around the stoves, are in danger of getting sick, according to a Hill rookie. Each stove has a "flu," he maintains.
Refer R.O.T.C. Decision
To Senate Committee
What do you mean by the rank of an officer, "asked the curious co-ed., "when you say no officer is in the ranks."
College Faculty to Meet
Decision as to the establishment of a Reserve Officers' Training Corps was deferred last night at the meeting of the University Senate, and the matter turned over to a committee for investigation. The Senate voted to refer the question to a committee committee F. H. Hodder, G. C. Shad, H. B Dains, A. T. Walker, F. J. Kelly, C. C. Williams and W. O. Hamilton.
The cafeteria will not be discontinued immediately but will be open at least the rest of the quarter. If the department of home economics is able to get Myers Hall next quarter, it may be continued.
Cafeteria Mav Close
A decision on the subject is made necessary by the question of the committee on education and special training of the War Department, "Do you desire to have at your institution after January 1, 1919, some system, of military training and instruction such as that provided by the regulation covering the Reserve Officers Training Corps."
College Faculty to Meet The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts meeting this afternoon in Snow Hall. This meeting is the last one at which new courses for next quarter may be proposed.
S.A.T.C.Investigated At Request of K.U. Authorities—Strong
Evidence Not Enough to Cause Charges, Declares Capt. B. T. Scher
Investigator Will Return
Findings Will Be Sent to War Department, and Made Public There
Capt. D. B. Miller, who was sent here at the request of the University authorities to investigate conditions in the S. A. T. C. which have been brought out by the raid on the Officers' Club, will be in Lawrence tomorrow to finish his work.
"The University asked for this
inspection to come to investigate conditions
for the protection of the University
as well as for the protection of
Chancellor Strong said.
"And a careful investigation
will be carried on."
Captain Miller was sent from the office of the regional director, of the committee on education and special training of the War Department. A criminal investigation will not be made public, Captain Scher said this morning.
The evidence has not been sufficient to warrant preferring charges, Captain Scher said, but if the evidence brings out the truth of the rumors that were involved in the actions of the officers of the S. A. T. C. he will bring charges against them immediately.
Captain Miller's report will be forwarded to the War Department at Washington.
Annual W.A.A. Election To Be Held Thursday In Robinson Gymnasium

Take S. A. T. C. Pictures
Pictures of the entire regiment and of nearly all of the companies were taken today by an army photographer from Manhattan. The regiment picture was taken on McCook Field during drill period this morning.
The finished pictures will be on display down town in a few days, and although taken for sale here, it is probable that copies will be sent to the TPC Department as a collection is born from pictures of all army units possible.
Classes to Start at 8:30
Classes will commence at 8:30 in the morning next term and at 1:30 in the afternoon. The time was set last night by the action of the University Senate.

TOO MANY APPROPRIATIONS
Any person subject to military law who steals, embezzles, knowingly and wilfully misappropriates or uses benefit, or wrongfully or knowingly sells or disposes of any ordinance, arms, equipments, weapons, money, stores, money or other property of the United States furnished or intended for the use of such equipment on conviction thereof, be punished by fine or imprisonment, or by such other punishment as authorized, or by any and all of said penalties.—Articles of War.
The foregoing extract from the Articles of War, the legal code of the army, makes quite clear the punishment provided for the sort of petty thievery which has been going on in the barracks and elsewhere_almost from the date of the beginning of the Students' Army Training Corps here. Yet so far as can be learned, not a single punishment of any kind has been inflicted, and few efforts have been made to put a stop to the pilfering.
Composed of men from all class as it is, the Student Army naturally includes a small number whose honesty is questionable. There is absolutely no means of preventing a man from stealing should he desire to do so, for the property of every student soldier lies exposed and undefended. If the honor of the individual does not make his neighbor's property safe, military authority should take a hand
Most of the articles disappearing have been of minor value, but several men have lost wool uniforms and overcoats. The loss of an overcoat may work a serious hardship, and the disappearance of smaller articles has become a nuisance, to say the least. The difficulty of identifying property, the ease with which valuables may be taken, and the absence of a form of punishment have brought on the epidemic.
The stude-soldiers now speak of having their pictures taken for the beauty section of the Peace Book.
DON'T DECIDE QUICKLY MEN
"Believe me, I'm going home as soon as I can get out of here and get one of those good jobs before the fellows come home from France and take 'em all."
This is the way many of the S. A.
T. C. men explain their desire to leave
the University forever as soon as it
ceases to be a military camp. Their
earning capacity, as unskilled labor-
urs, is now at its highest point because of the scarcity of workers, and they are right in the belief that the return of the men from France will mean lower pay for them.
But they do not stop to think that a college education increases a man's earning power to infinity. They have doubtless heard the admonition to gain an education at all costs, for it is an old one, but they have never heeded it or applied it to themselves. A technical course at the University will fit a man as will no other training for the holding of responsible positions commanding high salaries. Think it over, men.
The Minnesota Health Journal would stop the good old-fashioned handshake. The military salute, they say, is far more hygienic. May be so, but not so comforting. Imagine Isobel and Henry standing at salute in the moonlight on the library steps.
It's reasonably certain that Lawrence landlaws and boarding-house keepers will hear no complaints very soon.
TRUE DISCIPLINE
This business of lieutenanting isn't the easiest one in the world—some appearances notwithstanding. It takes real nerve for a young college man to go to a strange school and immediately start bossing other young college men just like a veteran warrior. Only they don't call it nerve in the army,
If an officer can have his men under perfect control, be absolutely merciless with them when they violate his orders, and still keep their respect, it shows that he has made a success, temporarily at least.
Lieutenant Joseph Cummings has been known as the "hardest" officer on the hill, but Sunday he visited each of the barracks housing the battalion of which he is acting major, and explained to his men just why he had given them "particular hell" on every possible occasion. Some of them had not realized before that he wasn't really "sore" at them all the time, but was merely doing his best to turn them into soldiers.
At the close of Lieutenant Cummings' talk in each of the buildings he visited, each man shook his hand, something few had ever thought of doing. They realized then that it was discipline such as Lieutenant Cummings had always demanded and obtained that had freed the world for democracy.
It's been a long time since a K. U.
man offered a dead alarm clock as an
excuse for being late to class, but this
time-honored alibi will be with us
again in a few weeks.
Another reason it's fortunate that that S. A, T. C. ends now: sliding down fourteenth street might have been hard on military dignity.
LET'S KEEP ON BOXING
Boxing is a red-blooded, man's game. Few occasions have been the scene of such a display of healthy morale among the student soldiers as the few boxing matches which have been held. The end of the S. A. T. C. should not mean the end of the sport at K. U.
Boxing as a part of gymnasium work should be encouraged. Most of the matches held thus far have been marked by more blood than science, and the men should be given an opportunity to learn the art of self-defense, which differs somewhat from the blocking and slugging usually seen at student boxing matches this year.
With the employment of boxing instructors and an equal chance for every K. U. man to become a boxer, there is no reason why every rally or other gathering of students should not be enlivened by a few fast bouts.
It was almost time for the second whistle and he was in a hurry but he stopped and held the door open for a girl who had her arms full of books.

AUTUMN'S CHEMISTRY
And tumble down.
A windbird was not made.
Autumn, with its brightly colored foliage, its brilliant leaves being fast whipped into the air by every gust of wind that blows, appeals no more strongly to the lover of the artistic than to the scientist. The mechanism of the tree is one of the wonders of all nature. The leaf is one of the most marvellous food factories of which we know.
Ever since the close of summer the process of preparation for winter has been going on. All through the growing season the leaves have been busy making food necessary for growth. This has been done by combining carbon with hydrogen and oxygen supplied by the water and the air, and with various minerals absorbed by the roots. As winter approaches, and the work of the leaves nears its end, the leaves have accumulated sedent back to the body of the tree. The remaining substances in the cells of the leaf contain the yellow bodies which give them the prevailing autumn color.
Such trees as the Oregon dogwood, however, store sugar prodigally and in greater quantities than is needed for food. It is this substance in combination with other superfluous chemicals which produces the brilliant reds which make the leaves glossy on the maple and the oak. The woodbine typifies another phase of this highly complicated and intensely interesting process.
To the artist the falling leaf of the deciduous tree is a thing of beauty; to the small boy whose chore it is to rake the garden it is only a nuisance; to the chemist it represents a marvelous achievement that he could not duplicate in his laboratory, however earnestly he tried. And to the food economist and the statistician every brilliant red and every rich brown resents a wash of jacaranda sub-sufficient to the aggregate would be sufficient to sweeten the coffee of all the world. The precise nature of the thrill that autumn gives us depends upon the point of view—Portland Oregonian.
CARE OF THE TELEPHONE
The telephone is a fine receptacle for germs of every kind, and little attention is paid to sterilizing this much-used machine. It should be washed out with alcohol as often as required, and to keep the dust out of it make a small round cover of soft leather or heavy cloth and stitch a broad ribbon around the edge, through which can be run a drawing string or elastic. Put this over the transmitter.

Rain And Mud Cause Wide Variety of 'Cuss' Words, Says Asendor
"Feel Better When Ready to Fight," Writes Veteran of Chateau Thierry
Experience is Unforgettable
Determination to Get Foe Follows Death of Companies
William "Bill" Asendorf, '18, from a hospital cot in France tells some of his experience, in a letter to friends in Lawrence. He has been in France with the United States Marines, 15th Company, Sixth Machine Gun talion, ever since American entered the war and was at Chateau Elysee. He
"Dear Brother…How are all of you getting along this year? Of course I take it for granted that all of you are making special effort to get the most out of your work you can. I know I would if I had it to do over again. I must say that I am in the best of health at the present. Oh, yes, I nearly forgot to tell you that I am in the hospital because of a blighty I received a short time ago. I bumped into a Helnie machine gun and stopped one of the bullets. However, I certainly was lucky to get out of there the way I did, for it was a lively section.
RAIN AND UNLEASONAL
"It was something unusual the first time I heard the guns roaring. My first experience was to do my wee bit in stopping the Germans on their way to Paris the later part of May and June. We certainly stopped him, but we were a sorry looking bunch when we came out twenty-eight days later. And since then we have been giving him a bump here and there all along the line just to keep him going.
"Going over the top and chasing Heinie gets old, and you long for something else. I certainly would like to try my luck in the air because working on the ground gets tiresome
"To live through it, to get a blighty and go to the hospital, and to get bumped off and not be able to worry.
"But when we get in the trenches and ready to start the drive we feel much better. We all figure that we have one of three chances:
"There is one thing I do not like about this war and that is the everlasting rain and mud. Just before going in for an attack we may have to hike every night for a week and stay in the woods during the day so our movements are kept secret. And if it rains, it is a miserable life. One would have no trouble hearing every kind of cuss word in existence on one of these hikes.
READY TO TAKE CHANCES AGAIN
"After it is all over and you happen to live through it O. K. you are willing to take another chance. They finally put me out, but when I think of all the different things I've been through I consider myself very fortunate.
tumate.
"You certainly see some peculiar things at the front. When the high explosive shell lights under you, they will cause some freakish things to happen.
"I have seen persons tossed up in the air ten feet or more and when they come down they ain't no more. They just disappear. And when you are making an attack and you see your pals bumped off right beside you or around you, it just makes you feel like getting the one who does the killing. It's a great experience and one you'll never forget.
"I have lots I would like to tell you, but space does not permit it. When you read this and read of some of the big stunts the Americans pulled off, just figure me in them, because I'm sure going back if I'm still alive. And when this war is over we will have to have a reunion and talk it all over."

Curiosity ShopinFrance Tells Tales of Long Ago
An old curiosity shop in the heart of Fraser—that is the term applied to the alumni office by persons who have time to visit the place. The antique curios sheltered there date back to the early days of the University. These link the traditions of the past with the present, and give $q_{students}$ today, an indling of the activities of the students of several generations ago.
Before the University was large enough for a whistle to dismiss and call classes, a bell much larger by a bicycle bell, only much larger, was used. That was in the day of the one building at the University of Kansas.
When it was time to call students together, a boy walked up and down through the hall of Fraser changing the bell as he walked in. It was staff in the alumni office.

Plymouth Jottings
A word to S. A. T. C. men.
You are being demobilized.
Are you going home? If so, good luck to you.
Are you staying on at K. U.? If so, unless you are a lazy loafer entirely willing to luxuriate at the university while dad pays the bills, there are two things that it is safe to assume concerning you:
First, you really believe in an education, and want one for yourself.
Second, you are fortunately enough fixed—with resources either of means or of ambition, or of both—to make it possible for you to continue your education.
Now a very real part of a man's education is his increasing at-homness in the world of religious thought and action. Just as a man ought to grow more and more familiar with chemical, biological, philosophical, mechanical, artistic reality, so he ought to become firmer in his convictions concerning the great matters of faith. God is as real as hydrogen. Christ is as much a fact as the glacial period. The power of goodwill is as certain as that Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo. Are you getting a lopsided education, or are you getting a well-rounded development?
You are to be congratulated on being able to stay on the job. K: U
Plymouth does not teach mathematics, Nor physics, nor taw, nor medicine, nor fine arts. Plymouth does seek to teach religion. Its whole policy is increasingly educational: That does not mean that the life of Plymouth is stupidly uninteresting. The most fascinating place in all the world for a man who really wants an education is a live classroom.
You cannot call yourself educated if you go away from Lawrence without having put yourself in touch with some one of Lawrence's fine churches Plymouth puts it up to you frankly: Come and learn with us some of the great lessons not listed in the university curriculum. We are endeavoring in Plymouth to make real progress under the leadership of the Master Teacher.
Yours very cordially,

Forty Men Turn Out In First Gym Practice For K. U. Basket Bal
Marked Ability Shown by Some of Candidates for Team
The Kansas basketball squad had a good workout at the gym last night and the new men were taught the art of passing and the first principles of floor work. About forty men came out for the team and several men showed ability to handle the ball.
Gross and Turner are two good men from Kansas City and look promising already. Turner has played with Poly Tech at Kansas City. Young, an Emporia Normal football man looks like material for the team. Gardner of Arkansas City is a good first year man and knows the game. Sloner is out and should make a good center. Bunn and Matthews are the two old men working out and both are good floor men and good shots. Mason, football end, will be out for the team this week.
Coach Hamilton will go to Kansas City Friday to attend the meeting of the Valley coaches and arrange a schedule for the Kansas team this season. Lonberg may be back for the team. "Dutch" played in part of the games here last year, and should make the team easily this season. The team will be able to get real practice next week after the S. A. T. C. companies finish with their farewell dances. At present the floor is in poor condition.
Dobson and Schellenbear have returned to the University of Nebraska and will strengthen the Husker team in their game with the Washington Pilkers next Saturday.

The Aggies will start basketball practice as soon as the S. A. T. C. men are quartered in theAggie Gym move out. Coach Clevenger expects to hold his first practice Monday.

to Frank Parker, head of the Kznas

The Kansas City Highs will start practice this week. Central high has started already and has two letter men back.
Daily Gym Work Begins For Men Not in S.A.T.C.
Regular gymnasium work for men not in the S. A. T. C. began this morning at 10:45 o'clock. Kenneth Bell is in charge, teaching straight floor work.
There will be regular work from now on, classes at 10:45, 2:50 and 3:45 o'clock daily. As soon as the S. A.T. C. is entirely discontinued, those men will begin regular gym also.
Physical examinations have not been given as yet. Men did not have to enroll for the work today, as their previous enrollments of the first of the term held good.
First Workouts Start For Indoor Track Men
Indoor track work for members of last years team will begin tomorrow. Dewall and Rodkey, distance men, and Duff, hurdler and dash man, will start taking regular workouts at that time.
Not much is known of most of the men with whom Coach Hamilton will work this year. Among the new men there should be abundance of good material, but that will be for the future to disclose.
Actual practice, with regular hours and training, will not begin for most of the men until after Christmas and when the new quarters is well started.

Men Will No Longer Sneak Up Back Way
It won't be long, girls, till they commence coming up the front way instead of slipping in from the rear. The college men come up the Hill these days back of Green Hall, the medics climb up the slope in the rear of the Museum, and the engineers go up the long inline slanting toward the Ad building. But it won't be long till they don citizen's clothes again and come promenading up past the bulletin boards.
The street address of the student soldiers will change before many days from Mississippi Street to Kentucky or Tennessee or Ohio. Then you'll see them as usual, hurrying up the Hill two minutes before the whistle blows, groups of them, some mixed in with the lonely co-eds who have filled the walks past the library and the Museum all year.
The many paths across the golf links will be forgotten, except for a few lone-wandering studes. The steps coming up behind Green Hall will be used by the minority living on Mississippi Street, and only a few will scramble up the grassy bank by the Museum.

Manufacturers at Convention Estimate a 25 Per Cent Increase.
CLEVERLAND, O. Nov. 30 - The National Association of Cloak and Suit Manufacturers closed a 2-nay convention here today. The federal government probably will decide early next week on a policy of releasing its holdings of several hundred million pounds of wool which it has controlled since the United States entered the war, according to Harry S. New of Cleveland, vice-president of the association.
Manufacturers believe that prices of suits and cloaks for next spring and fall may be 25 per cent higher than in 1918, due to the increased cost of operating expenses.

Barracks Prove Value As Temporary Hospital During Flue Epidemic
Dr. M. T. Sudler Says Death List Cut Materially by Prompt Action
Are Worth All They Cost
The barracks at the University have paid for themselves many times over, according to Dr. Mervin T. Sudler, associate dean of the School of Medicine and chief surgeon at the University Hospital at Rosedale. In the recent influenza epidemic the barracks served as emergency hospitals and thus saved the lives of many men, Doctor Sudler says.
Government Makes First Payment to Reimburse the University
"There is some criticism that the barracks at the University represent a huge waste," said Doctor Sudler, "and in a sense that is true. They were erected as a little part of this country's war activities and as such were like much of the war activities, waste. That's simply the nature of war, waste of lives, waste of iron, waste, but absolutely necessary waste. But our barracks cannot be put in that class because of the influenza epidemic that found them available for use as hospitals.
"If the University had not and those barracks during the epidemic the loss of life would have been much greater. When the epidemic developed the barracks were promptly transformed into emergency hospitals and were ideal for that purpose. Medical students were detailed to help the limited medical personnel and in a few days the barracks in hospitals were organized institution. None can ever know how many lives were saved by these large, well-ventilated, airy structures. In some institutions the mortality reached as high as 10 per cent or even slightly higher."
Medical authorities estimate that the emergency hospitals were the means of saving from 100 to 165 lives at the University, and as Doctor Suder points out, the $180 million of the barkves has been reenold many, many times over.
"Lawrence was utterly without facilities to care for the more than eight hundred men who were ill during the epidemic," said another authority. "Had not these barracks been here for such emergency use the number of cases would have been greater, and the percentage of fatalities higher. Men would have been scattered all over town and the task of caring for them and checking the epidemic would have been much more difficult."
The government is said to have allowed so far $88,000 of the $180,000 the University has spent on the S. A. T. C. This money is expected to be available any day now and to be paid back into the contingent fund from which it was drawn, the balance has been borrowed from the University through the S. A. T. C. will be paid back just as soon as all the business formalities and governmental tape have been compiled with, it is said.
The University authorities do not agree as to what use to make of the barracks. It is considered certain that Sunshine Hospital will remain and probably Barracks 1, which is to be used as athletic training quarters. The three barracks on the Hill probably will be put to use by the School of Engineering, which needs more shop room very badly.
Boxing Instructor Sought
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 5, 1918.
W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics at the University, is trying to get a first class boxer to instruct the Kansas men in the art of self defense. Dr. Reilly of the K. C. A. C. is trying to contract with Tommy Murphy, lightweight amateur champion of the United States, to teach the K. C. A. C. will come over from Kansas City on certain days to work out with the Kansas men. Several of the best men in K. U. will assist with the instruction.
W. A. A. Elects Today
NUMBER 34.
The annual election of the Women's Athletic Association was held today at Robinson Gymnasium. The polls were open from 10 to 12 o'clock and from 3 to 5 o'clock. The returns of the election will be announced Friday.
Investigation of Officers of S.A.T.C. is Resumed
Investigation of the conduct of officers of the S. A. T. C. unit here was resumed today on the return to Lawrence of Capt. D. B. Miller, who is conducting the investigation. Among the witnesses summoned today, to the hearing, which is being held behind closed doors in Room 120, Fraser Hall, were members of the police and of the S. A. T. C. commission personnel. The policeman is presumed to be one of the squad that raided the Officers' Club last week in search of liquor.
In Agin, Out Agin,
So Says Sullivan
The members of the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corpa have a feeling, not so tender as it might be, for the government. At least they blame the government in the absence of any other definite source of the trouble. This feeling the medics have was brought about by not transferring them to the S. A, T. C., so they could be paid and issued clothing in pay for the work they did at the infirmaries. But one medic is scheduled to receive pay, though not for his hospital work. Bradley Sullivan, a medical student in good standing, was called into active service, because his name was confused with a Sullivan from another school. After much red tape and a loss of about eight weeks time, he was transferred to school in the meantime was inducted into the S. A, T. C. He will be paid and issued clothing and will necessarily have to be mustered out, or demobilized, as it were. Don't you suppose the rest of the medics down at Rose-dale envy him?
Classes Will Elect December 12—DeVoe
All Petitions of Nominees Must Be Handed in Decem-
ber 9
"Election of class officers will be held Thursday, December 12, and all petitions must be turned in to me by 8 o'clock, Monday, evening, December 9," said George DeVoe, acting president of the Men's Student Council today.
Only one caucus has been held so far. This resulted in the nomination of aa women's ticket for offices of the senior class. It is expected that there will be a large number of women candidates this year, especially in the senior and junior classes, where the enrollment of men is unusually small. DeVoe urges that the classes get together to select nominees, so that it will not be necessary for last year's officers to serve in that capacity, awaiting the election of their successors.
Hershel Washington, who was elected president of the Men's Student Council last year, is expected to be in office in 2015. He will resume his position at that time.
Flu Worse in Lawrence But Not Serious on Hill
Twelve cases are reported to be in the University Hospital. One new patient was taken in today. A number of students are ill and under the care of city physicians who have not been reported to the University Hospital.
Dr. A. W. Clark, of the city health office, has had only 32 student cases reported to him during the last week. Dr. Clark says the city conditions are not so good and that there is danger of a ban being placed on the city today. The schools will try to run through the week. A ban placed on the city schools will not effect the University, which in all probability, under the present conditions, will remain open.
The influenza condition among University students remains practically the same today.

Frank Russell Descends On Home Town, Flying From Barron Field, Tex
"Rusty" and Lieut. Milton Elliott Will Fly to Kansas City
Today
Lieut. Frank "Rusty" Field, e08

and his parents live at 1731 Vermont
Street.
Lieutenant Russell was accompanied by Lieut. Milton Elliott also from Barron Field, and they will fly to Kansas City some time this afternoon, in the morning. They expect to make the return trip to Barron Field Saturday.
Lieutenant Russell received his training at the Officers Training Camp for aviators at Columbus, Ohio, and obtained his commission as second lieutenant of aviation last March. From Columbus, he went directly to New York, where he has been stationed. Lieutenant Russell is a member of Sigma Chi.
The aviators made a short exhibition flight about 11:40 o'clock this morning, circling over the University grounds and returning to the Bullene field where a large crowd of spectators had gathered to view the plane.
Their present landing is not so good as it should be and when the flyers return from Kansas City Friday they are going to the Bullein field east of town.

Prof. Arthur MacMurray wants to meet all students who are trying out for the Dramatic Club, and who have not been assigned parts, at the Little Theater in Green Hall, Monday, December 9, at 4:30 o'clock.
Will Make Series Of Campus Exhibits
At a meeting of the Senate Tuesday night, Prof. A, C. Terrill was appointed chairman of a committee for the entertainment of the S. A. T. C. men during the period of demobilization. These entertainments will be both entertaining and instructive. The first one, a series of readings given by Prof. C, C. Williams and a short lecture by Professor Terrill, was held in Fraser Hall Wednesday night. Professor Terrill also wishes to set up a series of permanent exhibits in the various departments of the University, for the instruction of the S. A. T. C. “I do not think a single soldier should go away from this institution without a definite picture in his mind of our campus, and the inside of every building, even Snow Hall,” said Professor Terrill. “The best way to do this is to have 'sightseeing tours,' consisting of groups of ten and fifteen men, with a guide, who can take them to the various departmental exhibits, spending from ten to fifteen minutes in each building.”
No Reason Why Men Should Leave School, Says Employment Man
Dr. Henry Has Calls for Workers in Every Known
Line
"There is work enough to keep one hundred men in school, many of whom never planned upon a college education," said Dr. Charles Henry, of the Y. M. employment bureau, today. "The situation is just a little different than ever before, in that many men who worked during the summer in order to attend school this winter, did not conserve their funds when the S. A. T. C. movement went into effect. Many of these men will of necessity be compelled to leave the University unless
The men available for jobs have had training in every calling and avocation. During this week, men have been placed by the employment bureau in all kinds of positions, ranging from hospitality workers to furnishers and water workers.
Secretary Henry hopes to see the people of Lawrence respond to the need for employment, and is confident they will when they realize the importance of K. U. men getting work when the S. A. T. C is demobilized.
About thirty men are asking for jobs now. Persons wishing to employ K. U. men will get better results if they file their files with Secretary Henry immediately. It is hoped that a long list of available positions will be in the Y. M. office when the S. A. T. C. demobilization is completed and the rush for work comes.
"The room-house situation seems to be taking care of itself," said Dr. Henry. "At least, it will not be critical until demobilization is an accomplished fact."
S.A.T.C. Band to Give Only Concert Tonight
Military Organization to Disband Soon—Last Chance to Hear it
The first, last and only concert to be given by the S. A. T. C. band will come off in Fraser Chapel tonight at 7:30 o'clock, Director McCanes announced this morning. The band will soon be disorganized, because of the demobilization of the S. A. T. C., and this is the only opportunity K. U. people will have to hear the military organization, beside the few times the band has appeared at football games.
The concert is primarily for S. A.

Lieut. Ennis Whitehead
Testing New Airplanes
Lieut. Ennis Whitehead visited at Prof. V. S. G. Mitchell's home in Lawrence Saturday. He has been in France a year, at the aviation fields of Issoudun as a tester of planes and was ordered to Washington to test a new type of plane. He will return to France immediately after finishing his tests. He told of meeting Prof. James Naismith and Prof. F. C. Dockery at the aviation fields and giving them both an aerial trip. Professor Dockerey was taken up ten thousand feet where he enjoyed the loop the loop, flying upside down and various other tricks. When Professor Naismith was taken up Lieutenant Whitehead was unable to secure the use of a good machine so his trip was without the usual performances.
"Rusty" Friend an Ensign In Naval Aviation Now
..The meeting of Theta Sigma Phi which was to have been held at the home of Emily Ferris tonight, has been postponed.
"Rusty" Friend, cheerleader of the University last year has received his commission as ensign at the naval aviation station at Pensacola, Fla., according to word received here by his wife, Mr. Friend. The letter said that Mr. Friend made numerous flights with other officers recently as pilot.
Before he entered the military service Mr. Friend had taken a major in geology at the University of Kansas and he was employed during the early part of last summer in the Texas oil fields by an Oklahoma City refining company. He is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. His brother, Paul Friend, from the University, is in the military service.
Plain Tales From the Hill
One of the S. A. T. C. lieutenants is credited with this remark: "I've been here more than two months now, and the first free automobile ride I've had was the other day when a taxi driver picked me up."
Don't be surprised if you meet a man on the Hill who appears halt sailor, half soldier, and whose name, when it is mentioned by some jackie, sounds suspiciously like Opal. He isn't a member of a new military unit, but simply a gob, half of whose uniform disappeared in the night.
Men in Barracks 6 are so fond of their overcars that they always keep on the alert to see that no one borrows them. They have the habit of yelling, "Watch your overcoat," when any stranger enters the barn. One day this week a minister entered the barracks and ordered doors from the men were, "Watch your overcars; hold on to your pocket-coats."
"Why," exclaimed the excited rookie, "I almost knocked the gold braid off that officer and then didn't salute him."
Next to the farewell dances, the most popular amusement of members of the training corps is to take a last view of the barracks and surrounding scenery from-the pinnacle of Fraser Hall.
"What I can't see," said an S. A. T. C. man as he looked at one of those sight-seeing parties and surveyed the walls of Fraser, "is how they ever get up there."
Yells of Idle S.A.T.C.
Rival Laws' Old Noise
No monopoly has ever been placed on shouting and yelling When the Laws, in past years, stood upon the steps of Green Hall and had yell practice for hours at a time, all KU, conceded that they were the noisiest bunch on Mt. Oread.
With the departure of this boisterous crowd a more peaceful atmosphere was expected to hold away over the entire Hill. But the S. A. ruling would be providing the hilarity that the Laws used to feel called upon to display.
Sudden outbursts of yelling, rapid successive shouts of laughter and unexpected demonstrations of jeering burst forth at almost any hour of the day and announce to all that the S. A. T-C men are on the Hill. The soldiers wander dibly about as if no work was or ever need be expected of them. All their energy seems to be used up in the noisy demonstrations which take place at irregular intervals during the day.

Sailors Not In Class To Have Stiff Drill Under New Coxswain
If Naval Section Is Kept Here,
Seventy-Five Men Will
Stay In
Get Releases in Three Weeks
Sunday
Seamen to Get Pay—About $75 And Clothing Next Sunday
The men in the naval section who are not attending classes will be required to drill on the same schedule used before the University opened and when the flu ban was on, when a coxswain arrives from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station to take charge of drill. Coxswain Cavaughn will be here some time this week. Charles J. Sutherland, chief yeoman in the U. S. navy came in from the Lakes Wednesday and has taken charge of the clerical work of the section. The men who are attending classes will be excused from drill and all detail work.
The naval section does not belong to the S. A. T. C. and is entirely cut loose from the other branches of the service at the University. It will be in charge of D. E. Finegan, Ensign U. N. Navy. The men will be required to marry between revelle roll call and chow. The ensign plans to have the men go through a schedule similar to that used in naval training stations.
About seventy-five men are expected to remain in the naval section if a unit is kept here. The men who stay in the unit here will receive their clothing, pay and subsistence. Men can apply for their releases from the reserve at any time through their commanding officer, according to off- duty regulations of the section. It is not definitely known how standing is that man who are discharged from the S. A. T. C. will be able to enter the new naval section.
Men in the naval section who have applied for releases will get them in about three weeks. They are not enlisted men since a man cannot enlist in anything but the regular service, according to Sergeant Adams of the marines. The men in the naval service are the naval reserve, and will receive an active service and will be subject to call for four years. At the expiration of that time the men will receive discharges from the service.
The sailors will receive their pay Saturday or Sunday and each man will receive approximately $75.00. The men will receive a b g of clothing valued at $105.00, which garments they will be allowed to keep. They may wear the clothes three months. The sailors are supposed to receive $2.00 a day for subsistence up to the time the barracks were available. They will sign their subsistence pay roll soon. The University will get the subsistence money from the time the sailors moved into the barracks.
Officers who have had charge of the section will leave this week. Top sergeant Birl F. Adams will go back to the station in Kansas City and will be on recruiting detail. Sergeant Robert P. Jackson will Friday. Sergeant Henry Fields will go to New Orleans. Lieutenant H. B, McPeak has received no orders.
All passes will be made out by the new commanding officer in the future and no men not attending classes will be allowed to leave the barracks without permission of the officer in charge.
Davis Sends Camp Papers To Dept. of Journalism
Don Davis, 18, manager of the 1918 Jayhawker, has sent the department of Journalism a complete set of "Trench and Camp," also several copies of the "Kelley Field Eagle," the Camp Sherman "News," and the Camp Kearney, "Trench and Camp." Mr. Davis will start work, December 9, in the advertising department at Jefferson City, Missouri. He expects to get back to visit K. U. friends in a short time.
S. A. T. C. Sees Museum
Members of the Students Army Training Corps went through the Natural History Museum today in groups of twenty-five. Every twenty minutes a group started in the basement and continued through the building, each floor being explained to them by the curator, C. D. Bunker.

DON'T LET MANHATTAN GET AHEAD OF K. U.
The agricultural college at Manhattan is urging the men of the S. A. T, C. to remain in school and offers to provide a place for them to room free of charge up to the Christmas vacation.
Just what sort of rooms will be offered the students at the Agricultural College is not known but it is quite likely that a number of rooming houses have been thrown open to the students who would be unable to remain in school unless such provision were made.
Such an arrangement here would undoubtedly be the means of keeping many students in the University who have funds insufficient to carry them on further in their work if it is necessary to pay for board and room. The residents of the town, the University, and the business people, all benefit more or less directly from the presence of a large number of students on the hill. Many students who are now planning to go home would remain here and perhaps stay three more years should rooms now be provided for them.
--mays. The cheerful room furnishes a very convenient meeting place for the students whose rooms are not hardy to the campus and whose land-ladies are not enthusiastically hospitable to their lodgers' friends.
Who will be the first to offer rooms till the beginning of the second quarter?
The crown prince says that he is perfectly content to return to Germany as a simple citizen. We have no doubt that if he is a citizen at all, that he will be a "simple" one.
Why not add a "Married French Girl" department to the casualty list for the benefit of the American girl who is disturbed by the notice in the paper that ten thousand American soldiers have married French women.
HERE'S TO THE HOSTESS HOUSE
Hosts of good things have been developed from S. A, T. C that, unlike the barracks need not be cast into the salvage heap when the S. A, T. C is demobilized.
The Hostess House for soldiers at Myers Hall has proved to be a much-needed home-center for the University as well as for the soldiers. Many students find it pleasant to drop into the reading room and pick up a magazine in their spare moments.
The pressing room with its electric iron and handy needle and threat is a convenience that many men who live in boarding houses where accommodations are few and far between, would hate to lose.
The writing desks could be utilized by students, both men and women in peace times as well as in S. A. T. C.
Let's keep this Hostess House with its victoria, piano, writing desks, and reading facilities as a real home-center for all students.
We notice that a regular air-mail is to be started between New York and Chicago on December 15. Let us return thanks that our postman still clings to his horse and cart. It would be a terrible thing to see K. U. women scrawl out on the roof of Fraser to halt the postman between classes for "that" letter.
POLITICS IS NO MORE!
For once in the history of K. U., men seem to have no interest in politics. After long years of criticism of women for indifference to things political, comes an election in which men are not sufficiently interested to put up a fight against a woman candidate.
With election day almost here, the only senior ticket out is headed by a woman. If the men are too indifferent to put out an opposition ticket, they can expect to be "kidded" forever after for letting a woman walk off with the senior presidency without any objection on their part. And they will deserve the kidding.

To see ourselves as others seas'. The surest way for a girl to find out just what is wrong with her face, and just what mistake nature made that keep her from being beautiful, is to have her name suggested for the K. U. Beauty Contest and then listen to remarks that are made as to just why she shouldn't be considered.
YE ARMY SPENDTHRIFT
Few University men in normal times have thirty dollars a month to spend after paying for their board, room, tuition, clothing, medical attendance, and insurance. Yet in normal years fewer chronic cases of financial embarrassment have been board of. At the present time, shortly before pay-day, nearly every man in the barnracks is "busted" and owes money.
The explanation is simple. Next week's board bill is no longer a matter of worry, and the rent never comes due at the barracks. When a man does not need to worry about his next meal is coming from, he quite naturally becomes improvident.
it is the customary thing in the army, but it's a bad habit for peace times, as the boys will realize ere ong. Here's our sympathy!

Ask Roomie
She Will Answer Anything There a Week Right Here
Dear Roomie:
Write-Call or Phone the Kansan
Will you please tell me what you'd do in a case like this? You know, my very best gob, who hasn't been paid for a long time, and won't be till Sunday, had a check from home the other day. Well, Roomie, he cashed it and put the money in his shoe to hide it from the awful people that have been swiping things from the barracks. The next day he woke up and the shoes were swiped. So my lovely gob is just dead broke. Now, Roomie, what I want to know is this. Would it be proper for me to take him to the picture show and the Varsity this week, me buying the tickets, of course? Please answer right away.
Dear S. S.
Sailor's Sweetheart.
Under the circumstances, I think it would be correct for you to take your gob to the movies. If you didn't, he might be moved to crime. He might swim somebody else's shoes in the hope of finding a little cash, and that would be very wrong. Young ladies must never encourage young men to steal, you know, even for the sake of taking them to Rommel.
Dear Roomie:
Suppose the sergeant leaves you in charge of two or three squads of men after taps with instructions to take their names if they make any noise. If you don't, he tells you, he will come up and get your name for a week's session behind the hash-counter. Suppose your bunk lets out a yell and the sergeant dashes up the stairs and wants to know who it was.
This is an important ethical question. Should you tell on your bunkite or should you get yourself in bad refusing to turn in his name. Please tell me what would be best, as it's liable to happen in my barracks most any night.
No.2, Rear Rank
Dear No. 2:
After due deliberation, we believe the best thing would be to be sound asleep when the sergeant comes upstairs. It isn't customary to put men on K. P. if they go to sleep while in bed, so you should be safe.
Dear Roomie:
When one goes to the Cafeteria for lunch, is it correct for one's date to carry one's tray in addition to his own?
In Doubt
Year In Doubt:
It is correct for your escort to carry your tray as well as his own, but it is highly unsafe. He's awfully likely to drop both trays, and that would be embarrassing. Unless he happens to be an ex-waiter, it would be better for you to carry your own tray.
Campus Opinion

This Column is Open to all Students of the University
Do you want to swear at anything on the Hill" Turn in your criticism to the Kansas.
Is the University to degenerate into a school for prize fighters? Is it to rival the German universities with their practice of duelling? Is such an uncivilized and demoralizing bible supposed upon the University campus?
This column belongs to all the students of the University, and communications criticizing or praising conditions on the Hill are welcomed.
Are you so enthusiastic about something that you want to rave about it in print? Turn in the appreciation.
Horrified Reader.
The plan to include boxing in the University curriculum is outrageous, and the authorities must realize that to take any such step would ruin the reputation of the institution. It must not be introduced into the school.

THE SKELETON IN THE SHEEP
The decline of freak legislation appears to be one-of-the-by-products of war. The sanity brought on by wartime fundamentals is manifesting itself even in states where the most fantastic laws are wrong to flourish.
Consider the bed sheet law. It is to Kansas that the world owes the conception of enforcing the luxury of an 8-foot sheet. With infinite wisdom the representative of the people of Kansas made hotel beds safe for the numbing public by prescribing that "each sheet shall be 99 inches long." That was in April, 1913. It was a legislative scoop.
California, smarting under the humiliation of being beaten to this enactment by a rival in freak legislation, held off until July, 1917. Then its legislature decreed that all beds, except those in private homes, "must be provided with sheets at least 81 inches wide and 98 inches long."
The California state institutions, anxious to please the legislators on whose bounty they depend, forthwith ordered sheets 9 feet long, throwing in for good measure an extra 10 inches above the floor. The immates inmates of state institutions endured nightly entanglements in their bedding.
Now the laugh is in California. Its law became effective with cotton goods soaring in price to unknown heights. With raw cotton at 30 cents a pound, instead of at 10 cents when Kansas proclaimed its prosperity by flaunting huge bed sheets before envious neighbors, surplus sheeting is extravagance. Now the California State Board of Control has included that 9-foo sheets may be dispensed with in war time; accordingly the board purges order all sheets cut to 7 feet 6 inches. But that would be in direct violation of the state law, which makes mandatory sheets at least 8 feet 2 inches.
California is in a quandary. The states where bed sheets are a law unto themselves await the decision. It better to obey the law and wear cotton or to save cotton and break the law? - Glendon Alline, New York

Each Man Will Receive Wool Uniform and Outfit When Finally Discharged
Demobilization Will Begin Immediately on Arrival of Plarks
Blanks
Demobilization of the Students Army Training Corps at the University is being held up because all of the blanks necessary for the discharges have not been received. The Commission on Education at Washington has ordered that the work of demobilizing the corps should begin at once on receipt of the blanks.
It has also been ordered that each man be given a wool uniform and complete outfit which he may keep for four months after discharge. It is thought that the blanks may be held up perhaps until wool suits are available. The outfit to be issued the men will include socks, underclothes, shoes and overcoat. The soldiers will be given frank blanks which they must return at the end of four months with the outfit that was issued them.
The plan as previously announced that Section B will be demobilized first will be carried out. It is expected that Section A men will be mustered out by companies. Which company will be discharged. Which company will be demobilized. Demobilization is carried out under Lientk, Ralph E.Carter, computer adutant, and Lient. pared for the work in the district inspector's school at Kansas City last week.
The first part of the process as explained by the officers will be to fill out the papers incident to discharge. After this the men will check in all government property, including all clothes except the outfit they will be allowed to retain, and any equipment they may have.
Physical examinations will follow checking in. The examinations will be essentially the same as those given when students entered the unit, and are necessary so that the government will be safeguarded from applications for pensions later. The medical corps here will give the examination under the direction of Judge Judson Allen and the defence counselants from Camp and associated with medical work here. There are six enlisted men in the medical corps.
Men will be paid after their physical examinations are finished. The pay will include any back pay and the amount due the soldiers to the last day of his service. The last operation in the process will be the issuing of final discharge papers.

New Year's Day is coming!
Resolutions ought to be in the making.
If you should establish the habit of going to church during December, 1918, it would be a great deal easier to keep up the custom during 1919. You will be at home one or two Sundays in December. By all means go to church. You will find all your old friends there, and what is more your very presence—such an important personage from college—will be a help in the home church. Quite seriously, the preacher will be heartened to see you in the congregation, your old Sunday School teacher will give some reward for faithful effort in the days of your mischievousness, and the youngsters in the church will say to themselves, "If John Jones or Mary Smith from K. U. isn't too old to go to church, I guess I'm not." As Robert Speer says, You don't have influence, you are influence.
Resolutions made hastily, impulsively, at the eleventh hour are never leapt. We might as well not make them.
Better still, one can practice the new habit for a few weeks and get it so well established that the resolution which seeks to make it permanent is really only a ratification of a choice long since made.
Resolutions made thoughtfully, after due promotion, made firmly, vigorously, and set steadily before oneself, have some show of being carried out.

to Make Navy Gob-Trot
The Navy "Gob-Trot" will be held at the Gym on the good ship "Rock and Ride" from the Potters. Lake Training Station between eight bells and eight eights on the evening watch Saturday. "Salt! Salt!" Blizer, manager of the trot, has worked out a good decoration theme and will have the starboard side of the ship decorated between lights and the port side with red lights. A four foot moon will be placed in the bow of the ship. The flags of the allied nations will be placed in the rigging of the ship. The shove off will be at eight bells sharp. Only gobs from the Potters Lake Station, and their crew, will be allowed to board the ship. More than 150 gobs have signed to attend the trot and tickets are selling at $1.00 a couple. The money made will go into the company fund. An orchestra consisting of a piano, two banjos and a violin has been contracted for Mrs. Esterly and Dr. Goetz will chaperon the trot.

Among the many hardships of the freshmen are the ones pertaining to the names of those different sororities, and fraternities, that they hear so much about on Mount Oread. The names themselves are difficult enough to remember, but it seems to some of them an endless task to distinguish the fraternities from the sororites when they hear certain names.
All the Greek You Must Know is "Eta, Bita Pi"
One unsophisticated boy insists upon speaking of the Kappa Sigma sorority, and the Sigma Kappa fraternity; and still another boy always calls up the Pi Beta Pi house for a date when the one he really wants is the Pi Beta Pi. It seems strange to some why any organization should have words in their names which are almost impossible to pass such as: Epsilon Upsilon, and another question that arises in their young minds, is why these are not always called by their right names. Why should one refer to Sigma Alpha Epsilon as Sig. Alph., and to Phil Delta Theta as Phil Delt
Perhaps these hardships will be overcome by the time they have attained the rank of a senior or may complete their education and complex names without hesitation.

"My knowledge of French, however slight it is, is more valuable than I can express," writes Benjamin H. Leventhal, A.B.12, to Miss Eugenie Gallo, his former French teacher Leventhal is in France with the
American Expeditionary Forces.
"I enjoy using my French at every opportunity," continues Leventhal,
"and the natives no doubt enjoy my imperfect utterance and are eager to listen to me. All of us soldiers love the French people. They are so courageous and loyal and they treat us with strict honesty."
There's Something In a Name, Bradley
What's in a name! Bradley Sullivan says there is something in a name, and he can prove it.
He is a medical student, in good standing, and was stationed at Rosedale with the rest of his colleagues. They were all a bit peeved at the government for not transferring them to the S. A. T. C., so they went on something, in lieu of the valuable work they did at the infirmaries.
But Bradley was a bit luckier than the rest of the members of the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps. His name was confused with that of another Sullivan of another school, and after much red tape and a loss of about eight weeks time, he was returned to school. But in the meantime he was inducted into the A.T.C. He will hold and issued clothing and will necessarily have to be mustered out. So he get more than his share, considering the fate of his fellow-medics, and his name was worth something to him after all.

Will Send Equipment To School of Mines
Baxter Institution Gets Material Saved From Fire at Weir City
Governor Capper and the board of administration have given their approval to the sending of a portion of the chemistry, physics, and mining equipment left after the two fires last summer at Weir, to the Baxter School of Mines. This school, which is soon to be finished, is the first of a series of secondary schools of mines which the state of Kansas hopes to be able to erect. It is to be large by a night school for employed men, or a day school for men who work at night. These schools will give to the men who actually work in the mines, a technical education of their work, and will also give them a general education, for many can only read and write.
A carload of costly equipment has been sent here from Weir, which survived the fire. It consists of furniture, scales and balances. Prof. B. L. Wolfe, who was head of the Weir school when it burned, is now on the faculty of the University of Kansas.

R.O.T.C. Plan Favored For University Under Proper Federal Control
College Atmosphere an Antidote for Militarism, It Is Contended
That the establishment of an R. O. T. C unit here under proper governmental supervision would be of great benefit to the student body and to the whole University, is the opinion of a number of the faculty.
Most professors recognize that America can not as a nation, yet rely upon a league of nations to prevent war, and that when ever a national crises arises it is a duty of the colleges of the country to supply a large number of officers for the army. The military training, of an officer, hours a week would illustrate this purpose, its hard work and not interference with academic work nor create a military caste among the student body to be spread to the outside world as the movement advanced, is the way in which the professors see the question.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Each person interviewed has some particular point to which he objected to the plan of military training for civilians as it had been given in the past. With these facts, a nervous system of federal control it is believed such a plan would find favor from the faculty here.
Uncle Jimmy Green says: "With a sound organization and proper supervision such a training would prove to be of great value to the men and to the University. But first we must get that training something else. Maybe it will be next year before we can handle the new plan."
Prof. M. C. Elmer wants to wait until further details are received from the War Department, so that our actions will conform with their desires. He also insists that service in the corps should be voluntary and no approach be made toward requiring service.
"We should cater to the wishes of the people of Kansas," said Prof. E. Haworth, of the department of geology. "If the people of the state want their sons to get a knowledge of the military while able to accommodate them; if we don't, some other college probably will."
"Prof. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering considers the R. O. T. C. "the best method for giving the college men proper training so that they may be officers in times of national stress, and at the same time conduct this training in an academic environment so that a spirit of militarism will not be fostered."
Prof. Arthur Melvin wants to be sure that the R.O.T.C. units throughout the country will be given federal support, and when men for officers are needed that the War Department will naturally turn to the men who have been given this insignia in definite form and becomes well organized all service in the unit should be voluntary thinks Professor Melvin.
The University Senate will discuss the matter at the next meeting, and definite action will probably be taken at that time.
Smooth Floor Hinders Basket Ball Practice
The basket ball squad was unable to get much practice Wednesday afternoon, as the gym floor had just been prepared for the company dance to be held there that night. The men slipped all over the floor, but had a fair workout. There will be two more dances in the gym this week and it will be almost impossible to hold a good practice, according to Coach W. O. Hamilton. The men will be able to get some good time in next week.
About forty men came out again Wednesday for the squad and the number will probably increase after the Christmas holidays.

Miss Dunne was graduated from the University last year. She was twenty-three years old, and had lived the greater part of her life in Wichita. After attending the Wichita High School and Fairmount College, she came to K. U. She was a member of the Pibta Beta Phi sorority.

S. A. T. C. Band Closes Season With Concerts
The concert given by the S. A. T. C. band last night at Fraser Hall was attended by an appreciative audience, chiefly composed of S. A. T. C. men. The band will be necessarily disorganized with the disbanding of the Student Army Training Corps, and last night's concert was the only opportunity to hear the University's war-time musical organization.
This year's band of forty-three pieces was much larger than the organizations of previous years and much credit for its success must be given Director J. C. McCans.
The members of the bap presented Mr. McCanles with a fine gold watch to show that his efforts this fall has been appreciated. Mr. McCanleen entertained the men as his guests at Lee's after the concert.

Greater Class Spirit Expected When Student Life Resumes Normal

Lack of class spirit and the fact that only one ticket has appeared led to a ponenton, Mr. D.Voe. After the denomination will revive the S. A.

Petitions are being circulated for the "Representative Ticket" by members of the senior class. This ticket consists of Louise Nixon, president; Tracey Conklin, vice-president; Esther Moore, Secretary; and Margaret Young, treasurer.

Uncle Sam is going to turn out a bunch of sporty students, at least for four months, till they send back their wool uniforms and their pay savings run out.

Now that the war is over between the political factions of the women of the university, a peace may be expected on the Hill that has been made safe for Tammany men.
The Greek letter societies were excused from their barnracks last night to hold fraternity meetings in their chapter houses and to attend to the business they have been letting drag because of conditions.

The fraternity men are on the look out for work so all their first year men will be able to remain in school.

By direction of the Secretary of War on November 23, 1918, all units of the Students' Army Training Corps will be demobilized between December 1 and December 21, 1918.

The Committee on Education and Special Training of the War Department desires to express to the officers and men of the Staffs' Army Training Corps its recognition of the need with which they have discharged their duties under the difficult conditions which have so generally obstructed the past three months. In spite of the serious effects of the influenza epidemic, and the many new adjustments incident to the working out of a new plan, the Students' Army Training Corps has already served a useful purpose in supplying officer material, and had reached a point of development at which its success as a military project was assured. Created to meet purely military needs, and involving the temporary subordination to these needs of the normal collegiate activities, its further continuance is now no longer necessary. Both the men and the educational agencies which have been utilized must now be restored to their normal status and devoted freely to the peaceful development of the national life.

3. This war has been won by the united efforts of all the friends of mankind and of civilization. Comparatively few have had the good fortune to meet the enemy face to face, but the credit for the victory belongs to all who have served loyalty. You were called upon to remain temporarily at your studies, because the Army needed a reserve of trained leaders. You have been eager to play a more direct and exciting part in the war. Nevertheless, you have done the work required of you, which is the full duty of a soldier. You can now take back with you to your homes an honorable record of service. You have earned the gratitude of your country, and you may now devote to the upbuilding of your country and to the restoration of civilization the same soldierly allegiance and trained intelligence which fitter you for service in time of war.

Kelly to telegraph information concerning opportunities of employment for soldiers remaining in school, special or short courses offered, estimated weekly cost of board and room in barracks or outside, number of scholarships open to soldiers and the cost of tuition.
A summary of this information from all the schools and colleges in the country will be tabulated and sent out to the various authorities to be presented to the student soldiers. It is thought that some institutions will be able to make living expenses lower than customary, by utilizing the housing and messing facilities provided for the S. A. T. C.
"I expect to send the answer at once," said Dean Kelly, "but I do not think there is any possibility of using the barracks here for this winter. It would cost the men more to make the barracks suitable to live in than to pay regular board and room in houses, I believe."
The motion picture film, "Fit to Fight," which is a part of the surgeon General's educational program to combat diseases, will be shown Saturday in Fraser Hall to the Students' Army Training Corps men.
All S.A.T.C. Men Must See Film, "Fit to Fight"
Attendance will be compulsory. There will be three runs of the film to enable every member of Sections A and B to see the film. Each run requires one hour and ten minutes. Twenty minutes will be allowed for training. The film will be designated, and the companies will be marched to the shows.

Leadership Developed By Student Activities
Adviser of Women Sees More In School Life Than "Grind"
Because of the increasing number of influenza cases in the University and in the city; on the recommendation and advice of the Health Service of the University I would say that all unnecessary assemblies such as dances, etc., are forbidden after Friday, December 6, and until further notice.

"Student activities develop initiative and leadership," said Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women, in a lecture on "Some Phases of University Life." Miss Corbin was the speaker at a regular meeting of the Woman's Forum Thursday.
The schools of Germany have no student activities and they therefore have no opportunity to develop initiative and leadership," said Miss Corbin. "We see two forms of government in student activities and in this country they tend to develop democracy. They have often been criticised as playing too prominent a part in school life which, in some cases, is true but in spite of this they do more good than harm."
"The new phase which has not yet been established here but which is necessary, is the vocational phase," said Miss Corbin. "It is quite necessary for college women to be trained in such work for there is an increase demand for business women, for secretarial jobs who have had that business college training. Such extra, necessary work could be required in the college."
Miss Corbin showed how the different student organizations' reflected the different phases of student life. The W. S. G. A, takes up the political phase; the Y. W. C. A, the religious; the W. A. E, the athletic; the numerous clubs and the departmental clubs the literary and professional, she said.
Dean Sayre Will Head U.S. Pharmacy Society
"The war has increased greatly the activity of women. Look at our own, school, for instance. The Kausan is edited by women, the dances are now in the hands of women and during the influenza epidemic the nursing was done almost exclusively by women. In former years the men led and the women assisted. It has now come to the place where the women lead and the men help. It is my wish that when conditions become more normal that the men and women students work together in school activities as they never have done."
The Red Cross is Efficient.
The presidency of the American Pharmaceutical Association came to the University today when Dr. L. E. Sayre, dean of the School of Pharmacy received word from Philadelphia that he had been chosen for the position, in an election by mail that has been in progress for one weeks. The association has members all through the United States and Canada.
the Cincinnati. Dr. Sayre was the candidate from the Middle West, the others being from Detroit and Chicago. This is the first time the honor has been given to a westerner.
The next meeting of the association will be held in New York.
Young Veteran Points Criticism at Kickers in University S. A. T. C.
Lawrence High School Boy Compares Here and Over There in Letter

October 19, 18
We have just been reading the Journal-World about the S. A. T. C and how each man has only forty-five square feet for his bed, clothes, etc. it is too bad about the poor dears getting only $30 a month for going to school. Nine of us have what we call the place we had in France. It is a room 10×15, four beds, double decked, one single, a stove, table three stools, and a water can. At present two of us are writing letters, two frying spuds, two picking cooties and one lying on his bunk crabbling about the army and the French Dagoes, and two are taking a bath in a wash pan, the first in over a month and a half. We are perfectly satisfied to stay here until the kaiser says enough.
Dean Templin Will Go To Russia as Member Of Relief Expedition
The Daily Kansan violates a news rule here by adding a comment to the foregoing communication, but it believes that this form of petty criticism is so general and so unfair that breaking the rule is justified. The S. A. T. C. was organized to give men a chance to study and to train for war at the same time. That being its double purpose it obviously must provide conditions under which men could fulfill that purpose. The S. A. T. C. barracks are unsatisfactory as places of study. As billets for men who had nothing to do but go through military routine they perhaps are wholly admirable. Near the front over there they might be considered palatial and the height of luxury. But men over there have only one job, the biggest job it is true, to fight, and men live and fight under conditions under which they couldn't well live and study effective. The S. A. T. C. men if they had and the chance would have been in a cooty-infested French腔 in the same spirit that hundreds of American boys have occupied them, and if the boys who got across had remained here in the S. A. T. C. they would have kicked just as quickly over the shortcomings that necessarily must exist in an experiment of the magnitude of the S. A. T. C.
There is no basis for comparison between a squash and a counterpane. They have different purposes. So in this case, The S. A., T. C. men could as justly censure the men in this French billel for "crabbing about the army and the French Dages." Disgust with this sort of petty and irrelevant criticism is the chief thing that keeps competent critics from giving the benefits of their views in letters to newspapers.
The service at the First Baptist Church Sunday evening will be very attractive. The singing—of which there will be plenty—will be in charge of Prof. Arthur Nevin. Religious songs and war songs will be used. In addition to the singing Mrs. Harold Butler will read and the Pastor, Frank Jennings, will make a short talk. The service begins at 7:30 o'clock.
There will be a meeting of the men's Panhellenic Council at the Beta Theta Pi chapter house December 8, at 9:30 A. M.

Appointment Follows Year of Work for National Food Administration
Honor to University, Strong
Dean Years Ago Urged Founding of Department of Russian Here
Olin Templin, dean of the college, has been appointed as a member of the relief expedition which is to be sent to Russia soon. Dean Templin has been in Washington, D. C, for a year, as a member of the food administration board, in the educational division of the work, and is being sent abroad to help Russia solve her food problem. He will be accompanied by several other members of the food administration.
Several times during the last year, Mr. Templin tried to leave that work in Washington and return to his work at K. U. Mr. Hoover, however, has refused to let him go, and his recent appointment is a reward for his work. The University and the State Department have given Dean Templin special leave to go, believing that his going will be of special benefit to the University.
"The expedition has a chance for great service," said Chancellor Strong this morning, "and the University of Kansas regards it an honor to have a member of its faculty chosen to go." Two years ago, while Dean Templin was here, he wanted to put some money into the founding of a department of the Russian language, but due to the lack of funds for that purpose, his plan fell through.
"Russia, in the not distant future, is going to be the great melting pot of the world," was Dean Tempelin's significant statement at this time. "America is going to look like a frying-pan, beside her."
Irene Tihen Elected President W.A.A. Board
More than usual interest was taken in the W. A. A. election Thursday, and the results show that more than one third of the women in each class voted. The following women were elected: President, Irene Then; secretary-treasurer, Helen Wagstaff; business manager, Doris Drought; senior representative, Waldo Hawk; junior representative, Iris Rushel; sophomore representative, Grace Olsen; freshman representative, Florence Chase.
After the election, all members of the W.A. A. board gave a dinner at the University.
Shrieks and Groans Issue From Green Hall
Try-outs for the Dramatic Club are coming fine if anything can be judged from the noise in Green Hall. Each person seems to believe if he out-screams everyone else his success is assured. Rehearsals take place behind closed doors and the chattering and laughing, the moans and shrieks that issue are deafening. Books have been discarded and the actor is forced to rely on his memory which results in a great deal of hair pulling and stuttering. The star member of the cast just as the most dramatic climax is reached to suggest that the person with a walking part stand instead of sit. The actors all feel sure that the Dramatic Club will have an increased membership at least one, when the try-out plays have been presented.
Capt. Miller To Resume Investigation Saturday
The investigation of conditions in and relating to the S. A. T, C., particularly touching upon the alleged connection of the Field and Staff Officers Club with alleged liquor consumption took a recess Thursday night and will not be resumed until next Saturday. Chancellor Strong received a telegram this morning from Lawrence about an investigation, saying that Captain Miller, would return to Lawrence next Saturday to continue the investigation. The telegram is said to have specified the class of witnesses who would be given an opportunity to testify when the hearing is resumed.

PERSHING'S PRAISE
"I pay the supreme tribute to our officers and soldiers of the line. When I think of their heroism, their patience under hardships, their unfinching spirit of offensive action, I am filled with emotion which I am unable to express. Their deeds are immortal and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our country."
Thus General John J. Perish honors the men of the American Army who fought under him throughout the year and a half of the nation's participation in the war. The detailed account of their achievements, just told in his report to the Secretary of War, is the simple story of duty well done, of suffering cheerfully endured, of spirit that would not die.
The glory in it comes with the thrill of victory, in the battle of Sedan, when "the strategic goal which was our highest hope was gained."
It contains no suggestion of the ancient pump and panoply of war. It is not spectacular, except as the reader's imagination creates a picture, as of "the combined French, British, and American air forces mobilized for this battle, the largest aviation assembly ever engaged on the western front."
And the joy of it comes in the lit
the references to the men from home.
It is not easy to visualize the boys of Company M as actors in the drama of Pershing's report, but the old K U. company was there. It is difficult to think of men who used to climb the Hill as aviators gathered ready with the air fleet of the Allies. Even professors of other days went forward in the drives that Pershing chronicles.
All honor is due these men. The praise of their leader is merited. The greatest memorial that can be raised to them is the true appreciation of the people of the United States. They may rely upon that sincere and lasting tribute.
Morning classes will begin at 8:30 o'clock next term, by order of the University Senate. A majority of the Senate members must have first hour classes. So we have, so we have,
OUR CAFETERIA
After years of agitation, a University commons has been established on the Hill. But now the managers of the Cafeteria fear that the project must be abandoned, on account of lessened patronage when the S. A. T. C. disbands.
Just why the students who have been crying for a commons should desert the Cafeteria is a problem that
Anyone who has eaten at the Hostess House will testify that board there is better and cheaper than it is at even the most popular student boarding clubs. The social attractions of a club need not be sacrificed, for more students meet in the Cafeteria than gather at several boarding clubs put together.
Eating on the Hill saves miles of walking in a term, and gives the hurried student time to eat as much as he wants to in the lunch hour.
To the students who have already patronized the Cafeteria it seems little short of criminal to allow an institution of such genuine utility to perish from the earth.
Come on over and try it Monday,
and see what you would miss if the
Cafeteria were permanently closed.
A headline in the Kansan reads, "Kanzas Will Occupy House December 10." What, pray, have they been occupying?
It is rumored that the University cafeteria may close. Just as a person gets adjusted to home cooking and gives up his life insurance, he is put back on the defensive.

GIFTS FOR GRANDPA
Remember how grandma and grandpa used to talk about the good maple sugar from back in Vermont state? Wouldn't they be surprised and pleased to receive a package of it, wrapped in oiled paper and tied with a fancy ribbon? Wagstaff's sell them at 45 cents; also a neat little box of California figs, at 60 cents.
Do the old folks like to have tea or a tiny lunch together in the evening or late Sunday afternoon? Maybe they serve sandwiches or some of grandma's caraway cookies. An attractive tray on which to carry these goods would save grandma several steps and will also make the lunch more enjoyable. A nice assortment of beautiful trays of mahogany with inlaid designs are on sale at Weaver's for $1.69 up to $2.19.
Ecke's are showing a large assortment of baskets. There are baskets for knitting, mending and fancy work. There are baskets for fruit and sandwiches or nuts. Large baskets stand on slender legs or hung in a wall. These baskets look like folks know so many things to stow away in baskets; they would appreciate one or two of these. The prices are 60 cents and up.
How often bills and receipts get mislaid or lost. Grandma forgets what she did with them and Grandpa can't see to hunt for them on the top drawer of the safe where they are usually kept. Why wouldn't they like a neat bill file where everything can be kept safely? It would save them from getting scratched by an exclusive grocer's bill or receipt for the gas or water. Mrs. Kruse of the Art and Needlework store sells these for fifteen cents.
Mrs. Kruse also has a Scratch Pad enclosed in a cheerful little cover which is destined to save someone a search for a piece of white paper on which to write the grocery list, or other household data. This pad sells for fifteen cents and can be mailed in a neat package.
Sometimes you wonder why they do not write off笔. Old people have a hard time getting around and they like just to sit in the easy chairs before the fire. By the time they have gone upstairs after the pen, and into the sitting room for the ink and somewhere else after the paper, stamps and envelopes they are too tired even to think of writing to people whom they would love to sit down and talk too. An attractive writing case containing a thick ink-tablet, a pencil, a book of stamps, an address book, a memorandum book, space for envelopes and old letters and everything a letter writer could possibly need, can be had at Inner’ Dry Goods Store for $3.50. Other cases contain just the paper, pencil and spaces for envelopes and stamps sell for $1.50.

SECOND HAND RELIGION
BY THE REV. FRANK JENNINGS
Acta 19. 11-20.
Certain vagabond Jews of the first century, having seen some of the remarkable transformations of character which Paul brought about by preaching Christ, said, "what Paul has done we can do." So they copied what they thought to be the secret of his success and set out to cure such of the people of Ephesus as were possessed with "evil spirits." Having diagnosed the case they would repeat the formula. "We adduce you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth," expecting the evil spirit immediately to let the unfortunate victim go.
The story, whatever one may think of the details, declares a significant truth—applicable to many college students—viz: the futility of second hand religion. Does the religion which you try to make effective come from your own experience of God or reason? Do you believe in you—though you never understood it—and which you are reproducing now in the hone that it will work?
But the result was a sad surprise.
The spirits did let go but only to set upon these would be gospel physicians and to drive them out of town.
See to it that your religion, rather than being made up of borrowed formulas and phrases, is a matter of vital, personal experience. Get *all* the instruction and inspiration you can from other people but don't depend on them for the vitality of your experience. Copied, second hand religion is the most ineffective of all substitutes. Vital, experiential religion is the best guarantee of unfailing strength and virtuous living.

Yesterday while down town I dropped in to the prettiest jewelry store you ever saw.
It is all finished with beautiful mahogany fixtures and the neatest and cutest little nook, all done in wicker, in one corner near the door where one could rest after shopping and write notes or visit for a short time.
You will have to see this store to realize how very pretty it is and what a beautiful stock he carries.
The shelves are filled with beautiful pieces of cut glass, jewelry, ivory pieces and metal ware and everything you can imagine.

Editors of Jayhawker Put Off Beauty Contest Until After Christmas
Captain Scher and Lieutenant Cramer to Have Full Page Photos in Annual
NUMBER 36
Plan Big Snapshot Section
Section to Have Eight Pages in 1919 Year Book, Says Richie
On account of the unsettled condition of the student body in the University, the annual Jayhawker Beauty contest will not be carried on until after the holidays according to an announcement made at the Jayhawker board meeting by Fred Rigby, editor-in-chief of the book.
At present the men are more interested in getting their discharges from the army and navy than they are in studying it, and women in the University of Kansas.
The work of selling the Jayhawkers, however, will continue. / All solicitors will sell the books and will save their votes until after the holidays. At this time the contest will really begin.
Practically every sorority has decided upon the candidate that they will support, and there are a number of non-sorority women who are strong
All solicitors are urged to keep on the job, and sell as many Jayhawkers as possible before the men who do not intend to stay in school leave. Because a student does not intend to remain in the University is all the more reason why he should buy a copy of the 1919 Peace Book. He will not only be the rightful owner of the University but be a historical record of the Student Army Training Corps and the work the men did while in service here.
Otto E. Hopfer, in charge of the snapshot gathering for the Peace Book has asked that pictures be turned in to him at Barracks Six within the next few days. The snapshot section of the book will contain forty pages and will be largely of a military nature.
"We want to make the snapshot section of the Jayhawker better than ever this year," said Mr Hopfer this morning, "and in order to get plenty of military pictures, as well as those of a general nature, we are beginning to get them together. Everyone having snapshots of any kind is urged to turn them in, as we will use a great many this year."
Photographs of Captain Scher and Lieutenant Cramer will each occupy a page, and two pages will be devoted to the officers' Club, including a group picture of all the officers. More than 400 men have been photographed for the book, and more pictures are being taken each day.
Things military will predominate in this year's Jayhawker, although it has been named the Peace Book. Section B., the vocational training detachment, will have eight pages in the volume, devoted to photographs of the men at work, snapshots, and an account of their work.
Men leaving school are asked to leave their home addresses with Lynn Hershey, business manager of the book. The price has been set at five dollars.
Lieut. Wint Smith Now In Hospital in France
In a recent letter to Prof. F. E. Melvin, Lient Wint Smith who is in France with the 47th Infantry, says that with a slight wound in the arm has made it possible for him to get a long desired vacation. Then convalescing Smith says he has had a most enjoyable time seeing historic spots like the base hospital to which he had been sent. He also says that he is arranging to resume work at the University as soon as he returns to the States.
Usual Grading System for S. A. T. C.
"Men in the S. A. T. C. will be graded by the regular system that is used for all students," said Dean F.J. Kelley today. The assertion was in reply to a question based on one or the several hundred well-nourished rumors in the barracks to the effect that S. A. T. C. men would be marked "funked" or "passed," with no intermediate degrees or grades indicated.

Lucy Gates, Soprano
Opens Concert Course
Lectures
Lacy Gates, coloratura soprano from the Metropolitan Opera Company sang to an audience which completely filled the chapel in Fraser Hall Friday night. The concert was the first number for the University Concert this year.
Miss Gates was accompanied by Mrs. W. B. Dalton of Lawrence. A cold occasionally interfered with her singing but her high tones were clear and well placed.
Miss Gates' program was divided into five groups, two of which were by American composers. The group which the audience applauded most generously was made up of American folk songs, negro, Indian, and mountaineer.
The Bell Song from Deblies' Lakme was the heaviest number on the program. Mit Gates was called back for two encores. She declared she would sing added numbers as long as her voice lasted and the crowd cared to listen. Her cold forced her to limit herself to two extra numbers.
Miss Gates also gave short concerts Saturday morning for S. A. T. C. men who attended lectures on the Hill Her numbers were patriotic and popular songs, a group of Southern folk-songs, and some of the old time popular airs.
Will Sell Post-Cards To Aid French Orphans
K. U. Committee Helps Support Fatherless Children of
France
University students will have a chance to buy their Christmas cards night on the campus Tuesday and Wednesday this week, and at the same time help the fatherless children of France.
The committee for the Fatherless Children of France, with Margaret Mitchell in charge of the work on the Hill, will have 500 Christmas cards to sell at the check stand in Fraser Hall Tuesday and Wednesday. All the cards from the sale of the cards will go to the support of French war orphans.
There are four kinds of Christmas cards—a large card for $26.50 will wrenn support for a child for a year. The cards selling for 70 cents each support a child for a week. If you buy a ten cent card you are keeping in orphan for a day. There are also five mini cards for sale.
The slogan of the committee is "250,000 war orphans adopted before Christmas." Lawrence and Univer-
sity people have already adopted 500 orphans.
Graduate School Organizes
The Graduate School held its first meeting of the year Saturday morning and elected officers for the year. They are: E. Worthheim, president; E. Roberts, Lakie Bookwalt, chairman of the social committee. A meeting of the school will be held this week. Only thirty-four students are enrolled in graduate courses this year.
Many University students have decided to dispense with Christmas gifts and send only cards as remembrances. A double gift card awards a double purpose is accomplished.
Lieut. De Ricci, of the French commission of scholars who are touring his country, will lecture in Fraser hapel at 4:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon on "The Castles of the Loire."
The regular weekly meeting of the Y, W. C. A. which was to have been held Tuesday at 4:45 o'clock in Fraser Chapel has been called off on account of the influenza ban.
Health Authorities Find Few New Cases, and None of Them Serious
Clark Denies Rumor That He Asked State To Close University
A rumor that Dr. A. W. Clark, city health officer, had appealed to the state authorities to close the University was denied by him today. Doctor Clark said that only $2 few new cases were being reported to him and it was not necessary or consider it necessary to close the Uni-city with the situation as it is.
Lieut. Judson Allen of the S. A. T. C. infirmary reports no new cases since Friday. There are only ten patients in the infirmary now and none of them are seriously ill.
Miss Haight, at the University Hospital, said that three new patients were received at the hospital today and three were dismissed. The hospital is not full now but it has been on two occasions since the epidemic started. The hospital contains only twelve beds.
"If students would keep away from the movies and dances, eat properly, go to bed early and follow the other rules printed in the Kansan before to prevent influenza there would be no epidemic," said Måss Haight. "If city water is not fit to drink, buy water," she continued. "That would be cheaper than paying doctor bills."
Dr. E. Smith of the University staff, has been visiting four students a day since the week before Thanksgiving. Yesterday he dismissed his last outside patient.

When you buy a War Savings Stamp, you should be impressed with the fact that you are buying that much stock in the biggest corporation on earth, the United States of America, which has never defaulted on the payment of its bonds. And remember, also, that the forming of War Savings Societies is vital to the success of this campaign. The banking together of millions of peoples in these societies, all pulling together for the same purpose, spells organization unparalleled for big work.
See that all of your pledges to purchase War Savings Stamps are redeemed by the end of this month.

Another interesting volume is a book on "Posters" with illustrations of exceptionally good ones. The new books which come to the library are put on the shelf above the magazine card index case and left there for some time for inspection by the students.
One Hundred and Fifty Men of Naval Section Have Asked Releases
Cannot Keep Naval Training a University—Not Enough Men Sign to Remain
The entire naval unit at the University of Kansas will be cleared out by December 21, according to orders received Saturday by the commanding officer. The application for discharges and releases began as soon as the arrestors men in the unit have already applied for their release from active duty.
It was thought at first that it might be possible, if enough men wanted to remain in the service to have a new naval unit formed and stationed here. This, however is impossible now, as the demobilization of the entire unit.
The men who want to remain in the navy may make applications to do so through the commanding officer. This will be sent to the commanding officer of the district. If allowed to remain in the service the applicants will be sent to some naval training station fir further training.
The men who enlisted in the navy for the duration of the war and those who enlisted for four years will be given discharges. The men in the naval forces will be given releases from active service but will be sub-commissioned or transferred. They may remain here in school on they may return to their homes.
Transportation will be given the men to the place of enlistment, or to any naval station they want to go, and the men to the place of enlistment, the cost to the place of enlistment.
Before the men can be released they will be given a rigid physical examination. Naval medical officers will be sent to take care of this work.
All equipment such as mattresses, blankets, mattress covers and sea bags will be sent to the Great Lakes Naval Training station.
It is probable that some of the releases for the men in this section will arrive in several days. If possible all will be cleared by the end of the quarter.
Newspapers Fail to Help Science Says Eikenberry
Inaccuracies Show Ignorance of Subject—Scientists Blamed For Failure To Enlighten
"Newspapers are responsible for a lack of more general and much needed scientific development throughout the country," Prof. W. L. Eikelberry tola the Botany Club at a regular meeting of the club Wednesday night at the home of Prof. W. C. Stevens. Glaring inaccuracies in newspapers, reports and editorials by newspaper editors, of appreciation of science as a news subject were the gist of Professor Eikelberry's complaint against newspapers.
"Scientists, however, are much to blame for this condition," Professor Eikenberry added. "It used to be that foremost scientists were glad to encourage a popular interest in science. Faraday and men of his day grew up with lectures and demonstrations to diffuse scientific knowledge more widely."
The average modern scientist clothes himself in silence so far as helping the public to a better knowledge of science is concerned and for this reason is to blame that we are not a scientific people although this is the age of science, Professor Eikenkern indicated.
"After we entered the war," Professor Eikenberry added, "there was a great demand by the government for scientists. Work war had to have them. For example, the government wanted an entomologist with each forty thousand soldiers to fight cooties. It also wanted a number of plant pathologists and graduate students as part of the number required for the simple reason that plant pathologists did not exist in sufficient numbers to meet the demands."
Professor Eikenbear talked extemporaneously* in the absence of the speaker of the evening. For the lighthearted songs, he joined the club members sang popular songs.
The War Savings Society promotes habits of savings and thrift. If you would be prosperous in the future keep on saving and buying War Savings coins or banknotes. The War Savings society alive. Here is your chance to do really big, constructive, vital work.
National Y.W. Board Closes Hostess House
The Hostess House in Myers Hall which has been open since September 15, will be discontinued December 15. The Hostess House committee of the W. Y. C. A. War Work Council, has sent orders that all hostess houses at colleges and universities organized must be discontinued as soon as possible because of the demobilization of the S. A. T. C.
The pressing and mending room in Myers Hall will also be discontinued, and the room which has been taken out of the house will be used as an assembly room.
Plain Tales From the Hill
"Say, any of you guys got a cigarette?" asked the rookie of a bunch of men standing in front of the barracks.
"Yes," replied the gob, "but I'm using it."
S. A. T. C. and Naval section men upon their discharge or release are to receive transportation to the place where they enlisted. Whether K. U. men receive any such transportation depends on what spot in Lawrence they are discharged. If they are discharged at the barracks their transportation could not exceed the cost of a street car ride to Green Hall.
Some men at the Gob Trot Saturday night appeared in white uniforms. This attracted the attention of the women, because of the novelty and contrast. Said one Irene Castle to the seaman dancing with her:
"Are those men in white officers?"
"No," returned the lumbering sea man.
"Must be."
RUMORS AND RUMORS OF RUMORS
Because hattocks are part of the reason that hattocks are because none have as yet been issued and because every soldier must have a complete outfit before he is discharged, the S. A. T. C. will have to wait two weeks longer until the quartermaster gets in a bale of hattocks.
The men in one company have become infected with Bolshevism and have barred their sergeants from the barracks.
The Lawrence police force announced that herenafter all officers who march their companies up the left side of the street will be arrested for violation of the traffic rules.
The flu quarantine is to be remobilized and the Russian rifles are to be reissued at once.
A reliable authority saw a freight train pull in yesterday laden with navy uniforms.
Fate of Section B Is Yet Under Consideration
The fate of the vocational school of the University is under consideration now by a committee of the faculty. It is doubted by Dean F. J. Kelly that the work will be kept up here in its present form, but the question is still whether the vocational school or the vocational school would be an asset to the state, according to Dean Kelly.
The situation can not be definitely decided until Dean G. C. Shadd, head of the school of engineering, returns from Boston, where he is attending University of the Schools of Engineering. He is expected back within a week.
Lawson May Back on Hill
Lawson May Back on Hill
Lawson May, a former member of the Kansan Board, who attended the University last year, is visiting friends in Lawrence and is on his way to Hutchinson. Mr. May together with five hundred others, was honorarily discharged from Camp Hancock, Georgia, December 5. Before going to Camp Hancock, Mr. May was stationed at Fort Riley where he was sergeant in the Medical Corps.
Gym Exemptions to 39 Women Who Had Flu
Dr. Alice Goetz of the physical education department has given temporary exemptions from gymnasium work to thirty-nine women who have had the influenza. Some of them were ex-convictes, and many have not have to report until January 1.
"I do not want them to begin exercising too soon," said Doctor Goetz, "but they must report to me or their absences will be counted as unexcused and they will be given a failure for the term, which will hold up their work until satisfactory settlement is made."
No Evidence Found To Accuse Officers, Captain Miller Reports
Investigator Finished Work Saturday—Gives Statement by Special Permission
Press is Called Sensational
People Exaggerated Rumors Greatly—Impression Contrary to Truth
Capt. D, B. Miller, of the District Inspector's office who has been honoucing an investigation of conditions in the S. A, T. C, at the request of the University authorities, finished his hearings Saturday and sent the following statement to Chancellor Strong:
Chancellor Frank Strong, University of Kansas,
University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas.
December 7, 1918.
Chancellor Frank Strong,
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas Mv dear Chancellor:
At the direction of the District Inspector, I have conducted an investigation with a view of ascertaining the truth or falsity of newspaper articles appearing in the Lawrence papers since the search, on Thanksgiving evening, of the Officers' Club, by the Lawrence police. I have called before me all persons whom I had reason to believe could throw any light on the situation, or could help me in arriving at my conclusions.
It is entirely contrary to practice to publish the findings of military investigators on occasions of this kind, but I considered that the interests of the service, the interests of the University, and the interests of the people of Lawrence would be best saved if a statement is forthcoming at this time, and I have therefore obtained special permission to make this statement to you. You need not consider it confidential.
I find that the Officers' Club was visited on Thanksgiving evening by members of the Lawrence police force. I do not consider such visit in the nature of a raid, since the police were freely admitted to the building, and in fact conducted through the building by a military officer. I conclude that while the police were on the third floor of the Club, one of the officers volunteered to them the information that he had in his trunk a part of a bottle of whiskey. The officer informed the police that their chief understood why he had liquor in his possession. The police assured me that that explanation was satisfactory. The police did not collect the whiskey as evidence. In this case I state that the police had been purchased under the orders of the detachment Intelligence Officer in the course of an endeavor to locate a so-called "blind-tiger." I am thoroughly satisfied on that point. I have been unable to locate one bit of tangible evidence to support the statements accusing the officers of the University Unit of indulging in drunkenness, rowdyism, or high life, and I am satisfied that their behavior has not justified the attacks made upon their character.
The articles appearing in the press have been endly sensational and I know that they have spread an impression which is contrary to the truth, and I submit to you this statement, hoping that it will allay the further spread of such impression.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Daniel B. Miller,
Capt. Inf., U.S.A.

Scher Replies to Papers Captain Says Policing Was Done On Department Order
Following the report of the inspector who investigated charges against the officers of the S. A, T. C. came a formal statement this morning from the Inspector calling for specific accusations made in the Lawrence Journal-World.
After quoting portions of "Administration Memoranda" from Major Brisco in Washington directing that policing kitchens and mess halls and serving of meals should be by memorial tables, Mr. McNamara used of quarters, baths, latrines, and grounds used by the military organizations, Captain Scher says:
"The above orders were in effect up to the time, when D. Frank Strong, Jr. was president."

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students so they go farther than merely printing the news by holding a conference. The University holds to play no fairest to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the beat of its university the students of Kansan.
--turn of some of the old school enthusiasm, K. U. students would surely wake up and take an interest in the organization of their classes. But it has no had effect at all on juniors, sophomores, or freshmen. Perhaps the freshmen are not to be criticised for their uninterestedness in the politics of the University, but after one or two years in the institution every junior and sophomore should have enough loyalty that a good hot competition would be shown for every class office.

TEACHING RUSSIAN AT K.U.
Winning a beauty contest is one percent perspiration and ninety-nine percent pull.
TEACHING RUSSIAN AT KUU
The announcement of Dean Elliott Templin's appointment as a member of a relief commission to be sent to Russia bears out the assertion made for several years by a few far-sighted educators in America, that the Russian language should be taught in American universities. Dean Templin, himself, urged its adoption two years ago as a part of the curriculum of the University of Kansas.
With the exception of Michigan, few universities include the Russian language in their curriculums. The University of Michigan sometime ago made its decision in regard to teaching this language. Its directors realized that in consequence of the increasing importance of Russia in intellectual, political and commercial activities, a practical acquaintance with the Russian language was rapidly becoming a necessity for English speaking people.
The problems of reconstruction now confronting this country make a study of this language imperative.
At the time Dean Templin urged the adoption of the Russian language here, few members of the faculty could see the necessity for the course and opposed it. Today, the need is apparent. With two years to its credit in the teaching of this language, the University of Kansas would be better prepared now to do its part in solving the problems confronting Russia in its struggle for democracy.
Dean Templin's suggestion was a practical one. If America is to carry on the great enterprise intruced to it, the Russian language so long withheld from American universities must become a part of the instruction offered at such institutions.
It is hoped that the University of Kansas will be among the first to meet this need.
Since the pictures of all K. U. companies are to be sent to the War Department, it will not be long now till some of our student students write home to say their photograph is being displayed in Washington.

Class spirit gt the University o.
Kansas has reached a deplorable
state. Class elections scheduled for
December 12, have been postponed
till after Christmas because only one
class, the senior class, has a ticket
out.
It was thought that, with the return of some of the old school enthusiasm, K. U. students would surely wake up and take an interest in the organization of their classes. But it has no had effect at all on juniors, sophomores, or freshmen. Perhaps the freshmen are not to be criticised for their uninterestedness in the politics of the University, but after one or two years in the institution every junior and sophomore should have enough loyalty that a good hot competition would be shown for every class office.
Juniors, wake up! And sophomores don't live up to your reputation of being incompetent and irresponsible. Get out that class ticket—two or three of them—and have the petitions in early.
Since finals will last only the class hour this quarter, students will be saved the tiresome task of sitting an hour or two after they have written all they know, just to make a good impression on the instructor.
THE K. U. BAND
The K. U. band this year, in spite of the interruption of military work and of enforced vacations, has been a real band. Director J. C. McCanless has met and successfully overcome even more handicaps than usual, and it is to be regretted that only one concert could be given this year instead of the series of other seasons.
The end of the S. A. T. C. will probably mean the end of the 1918 band because most of the men will leave school and the continuance of the organization will be impracticable because of the new material required. K. U. has seen little of its band this year, but enough to know that it could play "Boobl" and "Turkey in the Straw" with as much enthusiasm at football games as any that ever attended a football game.
The band of 1918 has made a place for itself in K. U. history, with every man a star on a service flag.

Well, the football season is over, the S. A. T. C. will soon be demobilized and again K. U. will settle down to a life of hard work, just as you remember it. At least our instructors hope so. You know we haven't had much chance to study this year. That's an awful thing to admit when finals are only two weeks away, isn't it? But the university is going to quarter it are last only the class hour. This University is getting sensible about lots of things, isn't it?
Of course the girls are enjoying them and we take in a few of them ourselves, but there is one objection. If they don't stop polishing the Gym floor pretty soon, our basketball team is going to be out of luck.

He is in the United States as a tester of planes and expects to return to France soon. Tom Pringle, too late for the football season, come up from a training camp in Jacksonville, Fla. He will be in school again next fall. Don Davis is here for a short visit.

Say, if you fellows don't get back pretty soon, it looks like the women are going to clean up in politics this year. A woman has even been nominated for president of the senior class.

The news comes from Europe that Bavarian and Prussian soldiers are in a row as to who was responsible for the Huns losing.

Holton Record.
All thru the war we've been told to save the little things—the peach stones and the cherry pits and the old scraps of rubber and iron and table leavings and so on. We've been told to save food by utilizing weeds as substitutes—as pigweed greens, for example.
WEEDS
Now that the war is ended in one phase, this type of counsel is likely to vanish from among us. And it's a pity, too. For if we don't eat it or otherwise use up our abundant weed crop it will go on causing us no end of economic waste in destroying soil fertility and food-crop hindrance.
There seems much good sense in the action of the government in seeking to provide a continuance of war insurance after demobilization. It is reported from Washington that 95 per cent of the men in service are policy holders.
Weeds might be made into paper if some scientist were to take time to deal with the problem of ways and means. And in that event there'd never be another paper shortage. Poor conditions is ever with us—Cleveland Press.
CONTINUE THE WAR INSURANCE
We must keep in mind that the sacrifices of this war will not disappear with the conclusion of peace. There will be echoes of its misfortunes for many years to come. No census could be complete enough to tabulate the twinges of pain that will occur in remote places in the future; all attributable in some degree to the great conflict.
Day by day we have been learning the lessons of preparation and economy and prudence. One of the greatest of these lessons will be that of suitably providing for the heroes of this greatest of all struggles. It would seem the part of wisdom for the government to urge upon all alike a course of financial forewarnings, budgetary equipment carried with small premiums, will mature in twenty years, under one of the plans suggested. Most of our soldiers are youthful. Before old age is upon them they will find themselves in possession of a comfortable sum—Chicago Tribune.

Editor of the Kansan:
The presence of the influenza among us has caused a good deal of conversation, and it is not unusual to hear some one say of another that "he feels badly." May I suggest that our grammars tell us that an adjective, not an noun, should be followed after the word "feel" when used in the sense in which it is used in that expression. I suppose no one would say "he feels comfortably" or "he feels uncertain." Nor should we say "he feels badly," but "he feels bad."
A. M. Wilcox
To the Kansan:
It was with indignation that I reca-
n in Wednesday's Kansan the story of
little motherless Billy, whose pet dog,
Jiggins, was sacrificed to science, without Billy's knowledge or consent.
Why should the medics feel free to go about the streets of Lawrence and coax away some child's pet and companion? Why should overdosages of anaesthetic be administered, causing the sacrifice of more dogs than necessary? Why should these innocent creatures be made to suffer torture for hours while some bungling undergraduate seeks to "aid" science?
To quote from the Jiggins article:
"I's an old story—almost a joke. These animals must be sacrificed for the good of science. It's all right and nobody snivels about it except the ignorant and the chicken hearted."
I am neither ignorant nor chicken-hearted and I most heartily object to this useless and fruitless slaughtering of birds. But it is better suited selections! But the cutting up of dogs is class-work, routine, or—quite often—amusement.
Let these butchers prove that they Let these butchers "prove" that they are really aiding mankind and contributing to science and not merely "hiding behind science" in gratifying brutal instinct.

Baker Publishes Record Of American Activities Reported By Pershing
of Staff
Official Chronological Report Issued by General Chief
Gen. John J. Pershing's own account of the part of the American Expeditionary Forces in the war has been given to the public by Secretary of War Baker.
The report begins with General Pebisha's departure for France and covers operations up to November 20, after the German collapse. The great German offensive launched on March 21 of this year called for the prompt use of the four American divisions that the Americans had built, and after that date the Americans played important parts in all the operations.
"On March 28," says General Pershing, "I placed at the disposal of Marshal Foch, who had been agreed upon as commander-in-chief of the Allied armies, all our forces to be used as he might decide. On April 26, the 1st Division had gone into the Piedry battle front. On the morning of May 28, this division attacked the commanding German position in its front, taking with a splendid dash the town of Cantigny and all other objectives. Although local, this brilliant action had an electrical effect, it demonstrated our fighting qualities under extreme battle conditions and also that the enemy's troops were not invincible.
The followed immediately the German thrust across the Aiene toward Paris. The American troops were again placed at Marshal Foch's disposal and the 3d Division, which had just come from its preliminary training in its trenches, was hurried to the Marine. The 2d Division was sent to check the progress of the enemy toward Paris.
Thus was the stage set for the counter offensive, which beginning with the smashing of the enemy's Marine salient, brought overwhelming victory to the Allies and the Unitee States] The intimation is that General Pershing's advice helped Marshal Foch to reach his decision to strike.
With the situation on the Marme-
front relieved, General Pershing
turned to the organization of the lst
American Army and the reduction of
the St. Mihiel salient, long planned as
the initial purely American enterprise.
Of this campaign General Pershing says, "After four hours of artillery preparation the seven American divisions in the front line advance on the battlefield."
5 a. m. on September 12, issued by a limited number of tanks manned partly by France and partly by Americans. At the cost of only 7000 casualties, mostly light, we had taken 1600 prisoners and 443 guns, a great quantity of material, released the inhabitants of many villages from enemy domination, and established our lines in a position to threaten Metz. This signal success of the American First Army in its first offensive was of prime importance. The Allies found they had a formidable army to aid them and the enemy learned they had one to reckon with."
The American army moved toward its crowning achievement, the three-fold battle of the Meuse.
General Pershing says, "On November 6 a division of the 1st Corps reached a point on the Meuse opposite Sedan which was the strategic goal striven for. In all, forty enemy divisions had been used against us in the Meuse-Argonne battle. Between September 26 and November 6 we took 26,059 prisoners and 468 guns on this front. Our divisions engaged were the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 28th, 28th, 32d, 33d, 35th, 37th, 42d, 77th, 78th, 80th, 82d, 89th, 90th and 91st. Many of our divisions remained in line for the length of time that requires nerves of steel, while others were sent in again after only a few days rest. The 1st, 5th, 6th, 42d, 77th, 80th, 89th and 90th were in the line twice. Although some of the divisions were fighting their first battle they soon became equal to the best."

of the Kansas men are the 38th and the 89th. In the 38th division is Company M<sub>1</sub> called K. U's own company, and also Battery B which has a large number of men from the University of Kansas. The 89th division contains an "All-Kansas" regiment, the 353d infantry.

Capt. Bruno T. Scher To Leave K.U. Soon Put On Retired List
Scher Cannot be Transferred Except for Active Duty— Prefers Retirement
As soon as the Student Army Training Corps is demobilized, Capt. Bruno T. Scher commandant, will return to his home in the east, and will be on the retired list of United States Army officers, according to his orders received December 4.
Captain Scher is the only officer on duty here, who can not be discharged. He was sent here, without his consent, by the president last summer to take charge of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps which was to have been established instead of the Student Army Training Corps.
Since the war is over, he can not be assigned, without his consent to active duty. For this reason Captain Scher has decided to become retired.
"I have been given the best Christmas present that I have ever received in my life," said Captain Scher when the telegram from the War Department came. "I will now get to spend the holidays at my home, a pleasure I have been denied for the past twenty five years on account of my active service in the United States Army."
The telegram was written with the thought that the unit here at the University would be disbanded by December 7. On account of the failure on the blanks to arrive, the work of discharging the men has been greatly delayed. This may interfere with Captain Scher's plan to leave at once. It may be possible for the work of Thomas Madden and Lieut. Ralph E. Carter, or another officer familiar with the work of demobilization may be sent here, if Captain Scher decided to leave at once.
German Spies Lose Out In Latest Film Drama
The telegram authorized the discharge of the men. According to the instructions received from their ar department some time ago the officers who were assigned to active duty here were to be discharged from the service December 10. This will be impossible now because the work of demobilization will not be complete by that time. They will remain until the entire unit is discharged.
Time was when the movie fan's idea of a perfect picture show was a 1-reel production in which the fandish small boy threw a custard pie at the preacher who came to call.
The cowboy-Indian drama supplanted this variety of amusement, only to be in its turn succeeded by the wicked vamp in eight acts. Now for three years, bursting shrapnel and German spies trying to stop him would draw a crowd to the local Orpheum or Air Dome or Princesse.
"Many of the picture houses in the country have raised their admission price considerably," said Lloyd Ware, manager of the Bowersock and Varsity Theaters. "No, I'll not try to raise the price here. When men can have dates again, I think our business will pick up."
But the day of the war film is over. According to theater managers, no more war pictures will be made. The producers are at work on new films. Only the war tax remains, and that is booked to go on till 1923. Worse than that, the price of admission may go up. Perhaps it's because they've been all used up in making pictures of everybody's hero in the service, but anyway photographic materials are scarce and cost correspondingly.
When planning, your Christmas gifts be sure and include a box of Wiedemann's chocolates.—Adv.
Moving picture production has just been resumed, after a six week's vacation. The whole industry over the country was officially suspended October 15, on account of the influenza epidemic. Now that work has begun again, it is on a new variety of new films—plays that are not concerned with war and peace. In the interstate and the resumption of production, movie directors were busy men, drafting new plays on new subjects so that the actors could begin work on them at once.
Wiedemann's chocolates are noted for their purity. Why not use the best?—Adv.

Varsity Basketers Can Use Gymnasium Each Day This Week
Regularly
Influenza and Military Dutie Keep Men From Practicing Regularly.
The basketball team will be able to use the gym this week and will try to hold a practice every afternoon. The hall has been in poor condition for practice the past week because of the company dances held there. The janitors will scrub the floor today.
Slonaker has not turned out for practice and Bunn has been unable to get out often because of his work in the naval section. Dotson is planning to return to school next quarter but his return is not certain. The men will have to come out better if they expect to put out a winner this week. The Aggies will have a good team this year and are working out now. Matthews is the only man who is practicing regularly.
The schedule will be arranged the latter part of this month at a meeting of the Missouri Valley coaches and some of the conference rulings may be changed. Clyde Williams, coach at Ames will call the meeting. Missouri has closed school because of the flu and the Tigers may be late in getting a start at basket ball this season. The conference will be in a normal condition next year, as many of the old athletes will be back in school but the standard of athletics this year cannot be determined.

Who Says Green River Isn't a Regular Town?
Green River, Wy., may be only a green spot on the map with less than 300 inhabitants, surrounded by sage brush and desert, and raided systematically by bands of marauding coyotes, but it has its good points, nevertheless, according to Ralph Curry e'18, who is employed as a railway clerk at that place. Traffic shunted through Green River keeps the interest of the inhabitants at fewer pitch. A trailed train of Dutch officials and a troop train of French soldiers are among the attractions chronicled by Mr. Curry in a letter to the Daily Kansan. He says of the place:
"Iimagine a rough hilly region with little in sight except sagebrush and desert and a break in the ups and downs through which a good-sized creek flows. Near the creek is a roaring railroad yard, surrounded by a business district of two blocks on one side of the street only, a few homes on the other side and the whole town entirely surrounded by desert. That is Green River. It never sleeps. Come what may, snow-slides, landslides, volcanoes, earth, quakes, flu epidemics, plagues or what not, Green River roars on forever." This country may be a desert, but it is certainly not unintolerable. It some ways ecologically and from an aerialist's and Hunter's viewpoint. There are no bear closer than forty miles, but I think there are some that far away to the north. Coyotes are thicker than the sagebrush, which is saying something. They shoot them and an occasional grey wolf for snort and coyotes. Coyotes are an awful pest to a cheeen country.
"Green River has a big soda plant and is building a potash plant. About forty miles east and north there is a mountain of potash. The plant must be located here on account of having the only water in many miles.
"Just a few nights ago we had a bunch of French soldiers through here on their way from France to Siberia. And a couple or three weeks ago a trainload of Dutch officials and merchants enroute to Java, Dutch East Indies, from Holland via New York. They were carrying one one warm day recently when a freight dragged three refrigerator cars of silk worms through here under ice, enroute from China to Europe—Ialy I suppose.
Let Us Serve You and Your Guests
"I like the work in the office here very well indeed. I have a splendid bunch of co-workers. They come from all points of the compass, but mostly from Omaha, Ogden, Salt Lake City, Chicago and the east. Met one Washburn man who has been in Lawrence many times."
Mr. Curry was a student in the department of journalism. He left the University to enter the service but was discharged when war was declared on account of illness just before his regiment left New York for overseas. Mr. Curry then returned to Lawrence and re-entered K. U., completing his work here last summer.

Scher Replies to Papers
from his recent visit to Chicago, when he was authorized by Brigadier General R. I. Rees, Chairman of the Committee on Education and Special Training, War Department, to hire the necessary mess attendants (Kitchen Police), and submit extra vouchers for this service.
(Continued from page 1)
"The commanding officer never has received any word to this effect except, when is was so stated by the Chancellor, himself, at a meeting of the University's cabinet, to which he was invited. The statement of the Chancellor was accepted by the commanding officer and the detailing of kitchen police was discontinued, as fast as help could be hired.
"The above FACTS readily prove the falsity of the statements made in the Journal-World, which claim that the army officers on duty here made these details of kitchen police in order to save money for the food contractors alleged to amount up to $150.00 to $200.00 per week.
"As pertains to the other false statements on the part of the Journal-World, I consider them to be so far below my notice, and at such great variance with the truth, that I can not believe, that any right minded person took the seriously, and I do not care to make any personal defense. "No organization has a greater right to the respect of the world, than the American Army, and no organization is so proud of its records and reputation. The ease with which newspapers at times state "army scandal" shows their lack of patriotism and appreciation. The scandal—where such
actually exists—is not in any way attributable to the army, but refer to the fact that some individual has orronely been taken into the military service, whose character—if known—would have barred him from mission thereto and left him as a civilian. "The recent scandal was entirely a fabrication of enemies to the Army, a commanding officer I had just in touch with them, and I had already investigated the accusations before the publicity was started, and knew that no foundation existed for same.
"Whatever injury may have resulted from this scandal to the University (or individuals) cannot be attributed to the army; but to the sensational writing of the newspaper, which became the champion of the libelous filth with which it fairly reeked in many of its issues."

All Eligibility Rules For 1918-19 Athletics May be Declared Blank
Suspending of Regulations Will Let Old Players Play Another Year
Foster Could Play Again
Big 9 Decides That S. A. T. C Year Was Too Confused to Count in Sports
The question of the day for the Missouri Valley Conference is whether or not this year shall be chalked down as a goose egg. At a recent meeting of the Western Conference – the Big 9—formal action was taken to call the school year of 1918-19 a “blank year” and it is probable that the Missouri Valley Conference will pass a similar resolution.
By the "blank year" is meant that this year will be treated exactly as if it had never existed. A man's eligibility will be decided on his standing last year, ignoring what he may or may not have done since the opening of school this fall. Should such a ruling pass the Missouri Valley conference meeting, which held in Kansas City and Saturday in KU, for K.U., the "Stone" Foster, veteran quarterback, will be eligible to play again next fall. Otherwise "Stem" would be a has-been in college athletics.
CONFUSION WAS GENERAL
NUMBER 37.
The athletic question has, at least,
been a vexing and trying one all over
the country this fall and K. U. has
had its share, say the coaches. A
poor start was anticipated with the
S. A. T. C. established in the schools
and then came the "du." In the middle
of the season, at a very inopportune
time, W. O. Hamilton, manager of
athletics was called to a training
camp at Princeton, N. J., for the S. A.
T. C. athletic coaches, leaving all the
work on Coach Joy Bond who already
had his hands full to overflowing
But what K. U. faced, almost every
school in the country faced, so that
athletes, at first a tradey became a
comedy.
The ruling making this a "blank year" would make eligible everyone in school, which includes freshmen and men with flunks against them. They could all play basketball now and baseball and football in the spring. Then, next fall everyone would forget it and the "dope" would be figured from last year's status.
FOOTBALL UNIFORMS BE 329
Coach Hamilton said he had no had sufficient time to make his report but he believes $3,000 will cover the University's loss this season.
"Usually we clear about $10,000 a year in athletics," said Mr. Hamilton. "There are usually about a hundred men out for football. This year 329 checked out uniforms, which in itself represent about $6,000 in equipment. Five dozen footballals were bought. We can under normal conditions depend on the Nebraska game for $5,000. This year it cost us around $1,400. Basketball should pay for itself, track costs from $2,100 to $3,000 and baseball always runs better than $2,500 in the whole."
Willard Wattles' Poems Appear in Book Form
"Lanterns in Gethsemane," a book of poems by Willard Wattles, Kansas poet and K. U. instructor, has been published recently and is being advertised extensively in magazines. The book is a collection of seventy-five poems which Mr. Wattles has written during a period of nine years, beginning when he was a senior in the University.
Mr. Wattles is now a private first class in the Medical Corps and is stationed at Camp Funston. It is probable that he will be discharged from the service and return to the University. He was instructor in English last year in the School of Engineering and previously he had held the same position in the College for several years.
While the book as a collection is published for the first time, about half of the poems have appeared in various magazines. The poems are mystical-religious in character. They are an attempt, Mr. Watties has said, to find the "simple, fundamental truths common to all religions," and an attempt to find what Jesus would do facing present day conditions.
Influenza Situation Unchanged, Says Clark
"Conditions seem to be much the same this morning in regard to the influenza situation and unless unlocked for complications arise there will be no closing orders for the University," said Dr. A. W. Clark, local health officer this morning. "The order closing the Agricultural College at Manhattan was a local condition and does not affect conditions here."
The S. A. T. C. infirmary reports only a dozen cases and all the patients have mild attacks of grip or influenza. The University Hospital is caring for seven patients and of the three patients admitted yesterday only one person had the influenza.
Thirty-Six Positions Open to K.U. Women Says Miss Duffield
Most Positions Are for House work and Table Waiting; Two Clerks Wanted
There are many more positions open to the women of the University who wish to earn part of their expenses than there are women to these positions, according to Miss Duffield, the Chair of the Young Women's Christian Association, who has charge of the University Employment Bureau.
At present there are thirty-six positions waiting to be filled, two of which are for clerical work. The others consist of either house work by the hour, or for lay work by the hour, or in some instances, board and room may be earned.
There are twenty-five University women now holding positions which they obtained through the University Employment Bureau. The women in this position have been more applications for it than there are places to be filled.
The work which the University Employment Bureau does is free. Women wishing assistance in finding work, or people who have positions open, should call Miss Duffield at 131b or apply at her office in Myers Hall.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 10, 1918
Men in All Companies
Sign S. A. T. C. Payrolls
Soldiers Have Begun Checking In Clothes—May Get to Keep Uniforms
Members of Companies A, B, C, and E, signed the payroll today, and F. G, and H, sign tomorrow.
By December 20, all S. A. T. C. men will be out and free, Lieut. Ralph E. Carter, personnel adjutant, said this morning. Final orders have been given, and all papers and physical examinations will be completed at that time, so that no delay can be possible. Section B will be discharged and paid December 17. Companies A and B will be discharged December 18; C and E will be out December 19; and Companies F, G, and H, December 20. All officers will be mustered out Saturday, December 20.
The men have begun checking in their clothes. They are allowed to keep them, however, four months, and there is a law before Congress at the present time, which, if passed, will permit the S. A. T. C. and the soldiers of the regular army to keep their uniforms permanently. It is believed, by the army officials, that this law will be passed at once, and the uniforms will serve as a "war memoir" for the soldiers.
Herschel L. Washington

Chancellor Specifies What Meetings Are Regarded Unnecessary
Lectures for S. A. T. C. To Cori
tinue But no Dances or
Y. W. C. A.
"I have no idea that the University will close," said Chancellor Frank Strong this morning. "By eliminating unnecessary gatherings we hope to avoid having to close.
"The lectures for the S. A. T. C. men have been continued because the men have been together in the barracks and there is no more danger of spreading the influenza in a lecture room than in the barracks.
"The ban applies to all unnecessary gatherings, which I can not specify, but I consider the W. Y. C. A. unnecessary. The lecture by Lieutenant de Ricci was arranged for before the ban was ordered, and since he is responsible for missions when it would not be considered an unnecessary gathering.
"I see by the papers that the State Agricultural college and Washburn are closed," continued the chancellor, "but if we can successfully avoid another epidemic by doing away with unnecessary gatherings we will not have to close the University."
Those Who Wish to Remain in Service to Be Sent to Great Lakes N. T. S.
Release Men in Naval
Section By December 23
The men in the naval section who had not signed applications for release from active duty signed their applications Monday afternoon and all of the men in the section who desire releases will get them on or before December 21, according to announcement made to the section by the officer of the Navy, that the Navy in the navy will be ordered to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station in a few days and will be in the service for four years.
Men who wish to remain in school will receive their releases at the same time as those who intend to leave the University. Some of the men may be released a few days ahead of the others but all will get out at practically the same time. The sailors will be given their physical examinations and all will be excused from classes all day. Naval physicians will be in charge of the examinations and will try to rush the men through.
The unit did not receive its expected pay Sunday and no information is available as to when it will get its clothes or uniforms.
Lieut. Seymour de Ricci Lectures at K.U. Today
Castles of the Loire" Will Be Discussed by Members of French Mission
Lieut. Seymour de Ricci will lecture on "The Castles of the Loire," this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Fraser Chapel.
Lieutenant de Ricci is an art critic and former editor of "Art in Europe." He is a distinguished scholar, whose contributions to history of art are greatly appreciated throughout the world.
Lieutenant de Ricé is a member of the French Mission, composed of leasing French scholars, which has an important role in the dominant elements of French culture
The seven members of the mission will remain in this country during December and probably some of them will stay through part of January.
The mission was sent here through the influence of the American Council in Education and under the patronage of the French Government. The purpose of the lectures is to bind America and France more closely together in intellectual sympathy. "They will be able to understand what has learned societies and other bodies and will concern the different aspects of French civilization.

Hostess House to Be Closed After Dec.15 Y.W.Council Announcees
owners have been received closing the Hostess House December 15. At that time the house will have been open just three months.
Has Been Open Every Day for Months for Soldiers and Friends
Since September 15, the Hostess House has been open every day, including Sundays, from 8 until 9:30 o'clock. Saturdays, when visiting relatives were here, the house was open to them before 7:30 o'clock. They used it, too, both the boys and their Wimput and "mother Wilmet" or "mother Wilmot" as many of the men call her, comes to open the rooms in the morning many S. A. T. C. men are there before her, having entered by way of the Y. M. C. room.
On school days three hundred or more men come to the Hostess House, and on week-end not only the regular room, which accommodates two hundred people, but also the Doctor Braden's room, both the hall and the Y. W. G. A. room, are used by men.
The men buy stamps, candy, and peanuts here. During the last four weeks they have bought 1200 chocolate bars, 300 boxes of salted peanuts, 300 marshmallow bars, and innumerable packages of chewing gum. All of these things were sold at almost cost.
The Hostess House gives the me an unlimited supply of stationery. At least ten thousand sheets of, writing paper have been used since September 15 On week days approximately one hundred letters are mailed to the house, and on Sunday three or three hundred letters are put in the box.
The men can always find current magazines there as well as the University Daily Kansan, the Journalist, and the Kansas City Star and Times.
The fireplace has been a favorite attraction ever since the house opened, and especially during the influenza epidemic men were always gathered about it. They have corn to pop, also furnished by the Hostess House, and plenty of music. The victoria is in need of rest. The police are unable. The men also have the use of both local and long distance telephones.
The mending room has been open since the first day of October, under the direction of the Social Service committee of the Y. W. C. A. This room is supplied with two electric irons and two sewing machines. A checking system is used by which the men leave clothes to be pressed, altered or mended. The men do most of the work themselves but the sewing is left to the women. Overcoats and shirt sleeves to be shortened, buttina to be sewed on, and general mending of rips and tears are all brought in such quantities that the committee has called for help from Lawrence women. There is now enough work stacked up in the mending room to take all the time of the workers until the fifteenth of this month.
The S. A, T. C. men themselves are not the only ones the Hostess House has served. Their visiting friends and relatives always had a place to go, where they might meet the man or woman who received information about securing the kind of rooms and men they wanted.
The expense of the Hostess House is covered by the Hostess House committee of the War Work Council and by the National Board of Y. W. C. A.
Many parents have expressed their appreciation of the services of the Hostess House to themselves and to their boys. One father gave Mrs. Wilmot five dollars, asking her to spend it for music for the men. A mother gave five dollars and said, "I wish I could make it possible for home children to be the kind of home you have given to my boy while he has been here."
Te Send Sick Men to Riley

Journalism Building Slowly Covers Hill
A new addition, in the form of a storm-door, has been made to the Journalism Building. This is only the tenth addition which has been made to the architectural atrocity during the year and since there are only two weeks left this quarter, it is clear that a mortuary throry takes things in charge, the annual average may fall below normal.
John Shen, superintendent of buildings and grounds, fears that if this many-headed hydra continues to expand, he may have to remove the flower-beds, and put Fraser Hall and Snow Hill over on the golf links.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Drill using four-by-fours instead of rifles was started Monday morning for Company A. The "pieces" do not "dress up" very well, and snap in movements is difficult, but otherwise the drill was quite a success—as a source of lots of amusement for the lieutenants and for the men of Company B who were watching from Barracks 2.
Numbers one and three of both ranks were the only ones armed, the other assisting the movements in case of necessity. Several 10-foot pieces were quite difficult to manipulate, but "right shoulder, arms" was done by two men with the piece over both shoulders.
After some limbering up exercises, the pieces were used to tamp the ditch for the water main in front of the barracks.
Old Bill who was once called the Kaiser.
One crime begats another. Several weeks ago the Kansan printed three verses written by Prof. H. A. Rice as a parting shot at the Kaiser after the armisure was signed. Dr. Arthur Cummings wrote a letter to Professor Rice, enclosing a "pome" by one of his friends, composed as s sequel to Mr. Rice's efforts.
Is a much sadder man and a wiser;
For the old U. S. A.
Set a price he must nav.
And the price to the Kaiser seems high, sir!
"But"—says Bill. "I will pay any price."
Though I still claim they loaded th dice.
I have danced in my day,
Now the Piner I'll pay;
But for Heaven's sake, call off Prof. Rice!"
A man was noticed on Hamilton Field Monday morning on his hands and knees evidently trying to acquire a mastery of equine cadences. His pace was not a gallop or even a tret, but more of the slow old-grey-Dobbin walk. For some reason, probably as a result of his mastery deserved to crawl on hands and knees around the field by his company commander.

"The men are buying books right and left," said Lyman Hershey, business manager of the Jayhawker, this morning. "Such a picturequease year as this makes the Jayhawker more important than ever before as a personal record of school events. Most of the men appreciate this and want a book."
The campaign is not confined to simply the enlisted men of the camp, but to officers and women who are also being canvassed. Several of the army officers are taking a very active interest in the Jayhawk campaign. Contrary to many conflicting reports, the Jayhawk Beauty Conferencing Society annual purchasers are given coupons which entitle them to votes. Immediately after the holidays ballot boxes will be opened and the Beauty Contest will commence in full force. Vote coupons can then be cast

Non-inflammable Balloon Gas Made Observing Much Safer Branch of Service
Cady Valuable $1-a-yr. Man
Laboratory on Oread Housed Valuable Information for Germans
The "discovery" of a new, non-mi- fable balloon gas, which the Navy Department announces in news dis- patches December 10, is owing entirely to work done in chemistry laboratories of the University of Kansas, where the gas was discovered as a part of the natural gas and where a process for obtaining it in sufficient quantities was worked out.
In May, 1917, the War and Navy departments called Dr. H. P. Cady, a professor at the University of Kansas, to Washington and asked him if he could find a substitute for the dangerous inflammable hydrogen gas which has been used in balloons for many years. The scientists in America and England were all tired of that new element, "argon," but knew of no source from which it could be obtained in other than very minute quantities and at a high cost.
“ARGON” BALLOONS SAFE
Doctor Cady had discovered "argon" in the natural gas of Kansas in 1906, and as a war measure he was asked by the government to develop a method of obtaining "argon" from natural gas. If the government could obtain "argon" in sufficient quantities much of the danger of balloon work of the army would be eliminated, and much valuable property in observation balloon saved, besides making the balloon service much safer for officers and men. The Germans shoot an "argon" filled balloon as full of holes as a sieve, and the balloon would not catch fire. Instead of burning up, as would a hydrogen-filled balloon, the bag filled with "argon" would sink to the ground gradually, if punctured by shells or bullets.
The government employed Doctor Cady at a salary of $1 a year and he returned to the University of Kansas in May, 1917, and at once began work to discover a method of obtaining "taron." For weeks Doctor Cady's library was the charter building; was the busiest place on the campus, although only a few faculty members knew the work that was going on there.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURE FOUND
For a while that little laboratory in one room would have been the most valuable place in America for a competent German spy to have found. Within its discolored walls was developed a manufacturing method that would have made the huge German Zeppelins many times more effective as war machines than they were, a method that would have made their destruction by gunfire almost impossible.
Agents of the government sent to the University samples of natural gas from wells in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, California, Ohio and Pennsylvania and only after prolonged experiments was Petrolia, Texas, selected as the place for the reducing of "argon." Doctor Cady recommended Petrolia after his system of manufacture had been developed. At the plant "argon" was compressed and shipped in cylinders to the army and navy.
ASSISTANTS HELP IN TASK
Associated with Doctor Cady in this war service were C. W. Seibel, an instructor in chemistry at the University; Dr. P. V. Faragher, associate professor of chemistry; F. W. Bruckmiller, assistant professor of chemistry; Miss Emily Berger, an instructor in chemistry.
When Doctor Cady was called to Washington to be assigned this war work a British commission was there seeking to find a way of obtaining "argon." Britain had sent several such "argon" missions to America without success and one of the members of the "argon" mission at that time told Doctor Cady that England would give almost any sum for a method of producing "argon" in sufficient quantities. Doctor Cady and Doctor Faragher undertook the job at $1 a year each.
"To up date Uncle Sam hasn't paid me the dollar, or whatever part if it he may consider due me," Doctor Cady laughed.

A COURSE IN BOXING
We will eat our Christmas dinner in Paris—Kaiser Bill. Mebbe so, mebbe so.
Let us hope that the public prints for once have the manager of athletics right and that he is going to employ a professional to teach boxing in the University.
A COURSE IN BOXING
The athletic manager of the University has given the petticated minds and berriedened souls of the Hill a sound and reverberating shock by his proposal to employ a professional to teach boxing. Mercy, but it's too awful to think of!, they say. To employ a person of so degraded a trade as a pupilist to teach our pure and high-minded. Gracious!
Boxing is a form of exercise and recreation well-rounded man with a he mind and disposition should have. If he has a Cluny lace mind and a marshallow temperament, boxing is too far down the hill for him. But life you know 'isn't all Cluny lace or marshmallows and one of the chief functions of the University is to train physically and mentally capable men who can withstand the hard knocks of the world and lick the jobs they go up against after graduation.
That's why boxing is one of the things that is needed, and if it is to be taught here it should be taught well, just as any other subject. Maybe Professor Willard, our near neighbor, would lead a seminar or two.
DID THE TRIP HELP?
Taking calls to Newcastle was an highly essential duty compared with showing engineers through the Engineering Buildings. That's what happened, Saturday, when practically every company in the S. A. T. C. spent several hours in and around Marvin Hall.
About half the men who were taken on the sightseeing trip were engineers
least interested in engineering.
The visiting of points of real interest about the University should be encouraged in the chaperoned journeys, but long stays in buildings frequented by every student are more destructive than helpful to the morale. Practically every man picks up many useful facts in the slide lectures, which seem to be carefully selected and include matters of general interest, but no soldier-student enjoys visiting the places he sees daily.

AN OPENING FOR A BRIGHT YOUNG MAN
For the past two years K. U. has been without a student directory—one of the most needed things of all in the student's long list of needs.
This year there are close to three thousand students enrolled in the University; three thousand students who are scattered from one end of Lawrence to the other, with no way of being located except through the registrar's office. This office is open only from 8:30 to 12 o'clock in the morning and from 2 to 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Over two thousand students are in military training here but their company and barracks address cannot be learned by friends except through an accidental meeting on the Hill or down town.
The urgency of a student directory need not be dwelt upon, for it is obvous. The pressing question now is—how shall it be procured? The case of publishing a student directory would be approximately $250. With fifty or seventy per cent of the students behind a movement to publish one, independent of the state printer, the individual cost would be slight.
With the prospects of a stable student body in winter term, the only objection to the plan is removed. A successful student directory could be gotten up by some enterprising person or organization, and would be of service to K, U, as well as a practical thing for the promoter.

Blue Triangle Calls College-Trained Women For World-Wide Service
Demand Greater Since Signing of Armistice Than Before
The Blue Triangle of the Y. W. C. A is calling for more college women since the armistice was signed than before. College women who have had the stimulant of war work are being asked to keep on, either in the line of work they are doing now or in the line of work open to the workers of the "Y. W."
College women who speak foreign languages are needed for work among foreign women in the International Institutes established by the W. Y. C. A. in large cities. Women interested in social problems and economies are needed for social and real work among female women. Female women are also needed for club work in communities affected by the war.
Intensive and regular courses o training are provided in these sub subjects for qualified candidates in all parts of the country. Such a candidate for a position in the Y, W, C A must have a college education, or its equivalent in experience, or technical training in: Household economy physical training, businesses training. She must be at least twenty-two years of age and a member of a Protestant Evangelical Church.
Calls are coming from France, Russia, China and other lands for more W. W. C. A. women, to help spread the ideas of the institution in those countries. Women interested in business are needed for cafeteria director and business secretaries. Training in athletics can be utilized by physical directors or recreational leaders. Women with qualities of leadership and insight into character are needed for religious work.
Letters of inquiry should be addressed to the Personnel Bureau of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A.

Women Fear the Worst When Army Dons"Cits"
Worse than the worries the men have of influenza, servicemen, demobilization, woolen uniforms, and weekend passes are those of the sweet young things as to what their new soldier friends will look like after the S. Vietnam War. 'Thell will keep you clean-cut and young and handsome in khaki; just now, but will they keep up the appearance in cits' clothing?
Just now the girls are speculating as to how many lieutenants have the habit of wearing berbies in civilian life. Some have even hazarded guesses about the number who have a weakness for orange ties and pale-blue socks, and are stretching their imaginations in distraught efforts to picture their military men in peace-times.
After the war, there must be reconstruction, the military authorities say, but the women are looking for revelation as well. It's going to take some nerve, they say, to have the first date after the liets take off their bars and the privates go back to mufti.
All of the latest magazines will be
found at the City Drug Store--Adv.
The lieutenants aren't the only ones they try to figure out, though. The private who call around in nifty wool uniforms and glaringly white stocks are also regarded as question marks. Under normal conditions they buttoned up buildups? Would they wear their hair short if the law didn't make 'em?'
University Cafeteria Proves Boon to K. U., According to Students
Home Economics Department to Continue to Serve Meals at Myers Hall
Myers Hall
The cafeteria has been a decided success in most respects," according to Miss Elizabeth Sprague of the department of home economics, and it will be continued during the second quarter at least. The permission to use the hall has been received by Dr. Arthur Braden, who has charge of Myers Hall. The building is owned by the Christian Women's board of Missions.
There has always been a doubt in my mind," said Miss Sprague, "as to whether the University really wanted a cafeteria, and this has been the ideal time to try it out. The present cafeteria is entirely an experimental institution or not depends on how much the students really seem to use it."
"It is certain that it would be easier for students with afternoon classes to take their lunch on the hill." Miss Sprague continued, "but there remains the fact that those people who take their meals at clubs pay by the week and should they get their lunch at the cafeteria they would pay twice for it. On the other hand, lunching at the cafeteria affords a splendid chance for community association and consequently broadens the circle of friendship, a thing which should be striven for in a university."
We have a large assortment of both plain and fancy boxes of all sizes. We pack them to suit you. Telephone your order either for mailing or delivery. Wiedemann's—Adv.
Miss Sprague says that an ideal arrangement would be to serve only the noon meal at the cafeteria, and to have the clubs serve the morning and evening meals. However, the cafeteria will continue to serve the two meals as it has been doing.

Next Quarter's Schedule Is Now Being Printed
Can you print a list of the subjects that will be open next quarter, particularly the beginning courses. I do not want to take up work in the middle of a course, but would like to know how many courses will start all over again this next quarter. S. A. T. C. requirements prevented me taking my regular course of study this quarter. Next quarter I should like to begin where I would have begun last quarter had not the S. A. T. C. list of subjects that will be given next quarter? I should like it soon so that I can plan my work before going home Christmas. Gus the Bob.
o The Kansan:
The University has made out its schedule of next quarter's subjects, but it has not been returned from the State Printer. Until these printed schedules are available the Daily Kansan knows of no way to lay out the next quarter's work definitely unless the student obtains the necessary information he needs directly from the office of the dean of the school or schools he is to take work in.

Former K.U. Student To Lecture In Tokio
Professor Shin-Ichi Takaki who was a graduate student in the University of Kansas, in 1917, making a special study of food under Dr. E. H. tion of a rbyodrates. This, of course, of lectures on "Foods" at the Naval Paymaster's school in Tokio. Professor Takaki is a member of the faculty of a college in Tokio.
In a recent letter to Dr. Bailey, Professor Tokaki compared the army and navy rations of Japan and America. He said they were different in that the American rations had a greater proportion of portin and the Japanese rations a greater proportion of this crop; course, is accounted for by the essential differences in the food habits of the different peoples.
Professor Takaki also said that he recently saw a copy of Dr. Bailey's "Qualitative a analysis" in a leading book store in Tokio.

Real Basketball Work Will Start in January, Says Coach Hamilton
S. A. T. C. Duties Keep Men From Turning Out This Quarter
Coaches Meet Next Week
Lonborg, On Five Last Year,
Will Be on Hill Second
Quarter
The Kansas basketball five have been working under difficulties this season because of the interference of S. A. T. C. work with practices and the use of the floor for company dances. The men in the army were unable to get out for practice last night as they had a formation at the practice hour. Most of the players are in the naval section. The sailors will be unable to turn out Wednesday as they will take their physical examinations for releases at that time.
Coach Hamilton says no real practices can be held until after the holidays, and the men will start in to do some real work after the first turnout. The men will be held by their companies most of the time next week and will be receiving their discharges so practice next week will be irregular and a full turnout impossible. Bunn's work as a sergeant in the naval section has kept the star out of the practices so far.
Lonborg will be in school next quarter and will be out for the five. Lonborg played in part of the games last season and will make a valuable addition to the squad next quarter. Bunn will be out regular after the holidays and Matthews has been out for all of the practices this season. Slonaker is on the sick list but expects to be ready for work by the first of the year. Turner and Gross are doing well. Dotson, the Newton star, may leave the University at the end of the quarter.
Coach Hamilton will work the men and give them team play next quarter. The coach expects a good number to turn out and says he has the material to develop a winning team this season. W. O. Hamilton expects a meeting of the Missouri Valley coaches to be called at Kansas City Friday or Saturday of this week. The conference schedules will be arranged at that time and the decision will be given to whether freshmen will be eligible for athletics for the rest of the year.
Dramatic Club to Play
For S.A.T.C. This Week
An entertainment each night this week, illustrated lectures through the day by instructors from all departments, with sightseeing trips through the various buildings are parts of the plans being made today by Prof. A.C. Terrill, in charge of entertaining the S.A.T.C. men who are not attending classes.
ing classes.
The first lectures of the series was delivered in Fraser Chapel this morning by Prof. F. B. Daina on "Trenches and Trench Warfare." The lecture was illustrated by sixty slides sent out by the Bureau of Public Information. Five hundred fifty men from both sections of the S. A. T. C. attended the lecture.
telled the teacher Professor Dains will deliver the following lectures the remainder of the week: Tuesday, "Aeroplanes and
How They Are Made," Wednesday,
"Flying for American," Thursday,
"The American Navy," Friday
"Building a Bridge with Shops."
"The Engineer in War and Peace," was the title of the lecture given this afternoon in Fraser Chapel by Prof. C. C. Williams. Men from both the vocational and academic sections attended. Other members of the engineering faculty will deliver lectures this week.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth will begin a series of lectures early this week on "Why Study Geology?" Professor Haworth was to lecture this morning, but the government slide lecture took his place on the schedule.
The lectures on liquid fire begin by Prof. H. P. Cady early last week will be resumed as soon as necessary repair on the liquid air machine can be made. Professor Terrill expects the series to commence early this week. The lectures will be given in the chemistry building auditorium.
Two plays by the Dramatic Club will be given Wednesday night, and on the other nights illustrated lectures and pictures will be on the program. The Dramatic Club plays will be "A Proposal Under Difficulties" and "Suppressed Desires."
Sight-seeing trips to interesting places about the University will be conducted throughout the week by faculty members. A special trip through the Museum for the officers will be conducted by Prof. W. J. Baumgardner some time this week. The seismograph and the psychological laboratories will be other places to be visited.
Mental Ability Depends On Diet of Student $ ^{t} $
Professor Terrill has not yet completed his plans for the week, but is endeavoring to secure enough lectures so that every man will have an opportunity to hear at least one lecture a day. Frank Parker, secretary to the Y. M. C. A. is assisting Professor Terrill in making out his schedule.
Interesting Experiment Conducted at Pennsylvania Normal by Hygiene Teacher
An experiment on the relation of diet to the tiger and mental ability of students was reported at the Conference on Social Education, according to Dr. Florence Sherbon who attended the conference in New York, November 25 to 31.
Dr. Tracy of the Pennsylvania Normal who is teaching hygiene in that institution had her pupils keep a record of everything they ate in a day, including candy and other food eaten between meals. While these figures were being recorded, according to the number of calories depicted, Dr. Tracy examined them as physically and then as to vigor as fair, poor and good. Then she went to the school records and she took the grades of the pupils.
When the records were fitted together it was shown that the girls who ate less than sixteen hundred calories a day were in the poorest physical condition, were below in vigor and had the lowest grades, and those who ate between 1600 and 2200 were in the best condition and had he highest grades.
Milk is one of the greatest foods because of its high calorie value and the ease with which it is digested. Leafy vegetables are of great value and the daily diet is not complete without one or more of these vegetables.
"Mail is the staff of life," say the men in the army. This may be an exaggerated statement in regard to the S. A. T. C. at Lawrence, but it remains an undisputed fact that there are moments in every man's life when the question, "Have I any mail?" is all-important.

When morning classes are over and a fellow hurries off the Hill to his barracks, he doesn't stop until he has reached the pigeon hole which should hold his mail. Perhaps it is Monday, and the day before he has written half a dozen letter to the folks, his girl, and the gang back home. It would certainly be nice to hear from some of them today. He knows that Mother and the girl always write on Sunday so he ought to have two letters anyway. But the pigeon hole looks disappointingly empty.
There are two letters in his box and he takes them down hopefully, but they belong to another fellow whose initials are the same as his and who was transferred to one of the other barracks a week ago but whose mail is still sent to his former building.
It is pretty hard on the man who finds no mail of his own. His only comfort is that all of the other men are in the same predicament. The man in charge of quarters, whose duty it is to go down to barracks No. 1 for the mail, has not gone. Perhaps he will go sometime during the afternoon, and perhaps he may not. There is nothing to do but wait and see. In the mean time "the staff of life" is wanting.

He was a particular student of President Lincoln, and has written an authoritative biography of the American president.
"Dutch" Uhrhau to Enter University Next Term
Lient, Rudolf Uhrlaub, e'18, returned Saturday from Camp Lee, Virginia where he received his discharge from the army. He expects to enter school next term but is not sure whether he will be out for basketball or not on account of having played three years and taken his degree. He was captain of the basketball team last year.
"As far as athletics in the army is concerned," he said, "there is nothing to it. I didn't have any time for basketball at all."
Mr. Uhrlaub is a member of Phil Delta Theta and was on the Men's Student Council last year.
Finishing Work on Ad Building
Finishing Work on Ad Building The new part of the administration Building is approaching a condition suitable for occupancy as classrooms. Doors ad woodwork not already stained are being sandpapered in preparation for staining. Blackboards have been placed; wiring is ready for the fixtures. Floors of wood are being laid in classrooms but not in the halls, which will have the usual cement floors. On the exterior the terra cotta facing is being pointed up and cleaned.
"Make-up" classes are held every Saturday at ten o'clock for one hour and women who have unexcused cuts may make them up at that time.
Wellesley College alumnae will send seven members this month to join its unit in reconstruction work in France, where the need for such work is urgent. It is to help meet this need that the Wellesley unit is being caligned.

Of This Year's Annua
Camera Squad Gathering Ma
terial—Book to Have No
Long Articles
"Nosey" camera artists of the Jayhawk shawk Shot squad are all over the campus and around the barnacles! In nooks of the buildings the quick lens of the kodak may be watching you; behind a building a "trigger artist" is may be waiting; or maybe he is that innocent looking truck coming up the road! Anyway, the Jayhawk camera squad is out in full force, according to Otto Hopfer, snapshot editor of the Jayhawk. The biggest group of lively snap shots ever offered in a K. U. year book is promised for the "Pace Edition" of the Jayhawk. Thirty pages of snap shots have been apportioned to its four hundred pages.
The Jayhawker selling campaign is continuing in full force and books are selling fast among the men in the barracks, according to the Jayhawker management. "If K. U. men and women appreciate a good annual, there will be a bigger sale for the 1010 Jayhawker for any other previous book," said Fred Rigby, editor in chief of the "Peace Book" this morning. "I attribute a large sale to the many features this book will contain. Chief among these features will be the very original art on the division pages, the tub titles, borders, etc. But the snappy humor, the interesting writecups and our snapshots will contain just as much interest. There will be no lengthy writereps about things every K. U. man and know as well as the Jayhawker staff."
K.U. Wireless Station Again in Active Service
The wireless station of the University has been put back into active use after having been disconnected since the United States entered the war. About a week after the signing of the armistice, Prof. M. E. Rice of the department of physics, received a telegram from the Navy Department giving the University permission to reconnect the wireless antenna, and carry on long distance communication, and carry on long distance communication, with a radio used only about two miles away, as required for instruction purposes for the radio classes of the vocational units that have been trained here by special permission of the Navy Department which has complete control of all air communication.
The station is more powerful and more completely equipped now than it was before it was dismantled. Messages have been picked up from station to station and have been received by relay from stations in the Phillipine Islands.
The Arlington time and press reports are received every night. The time connection with the seismograph is corrected by this time report.

Reconstruction Courses Will Be Offered Second Term By History Profs
Schedules for Next Quarter Are Being Printed—To Be Out Christmas Week
NUMBER 38.
"Schedules for next quarter have already gone to press, and are expected to be out during the week of Christmas vacation," according to a statement made by Dean D. L. Patterson this morning. Several new courses are being given in the history department, next semester. One course in "War, Peace, and Reconstruction" will be given by students of the E. Melvin and other members of the department if required. This course will be offered to all students of the University. Another course will be offered by Prof. H. C. Chubb on "Greater European Governments." This will include a discussion of governments in the war-autocracy on one side and democracy on the other.
Prof. A. J. Boyton will also offer a course on Economics of War, which will be open to sophomores and upper-classmen. "There is a movement all over the country to develop courses dealing with problems of war, peace, and reconstruction," said Dean Borserson, "and that the student must understand the desire to offer students courses dealing with these fundamental world problems."
"These courses will cover blood loss from same ground. Dean Patterson."
"Labor Problems of the Reconstruction Period," is a new 2-hour course offered by Prof. William M. Duffus for juniors and seniors.
The department of botany is offering a course for two hours credit on economic plant geography under Prof. Grace Charles. It is open to sophomores and upperclassmen, and has to do with the world's food supply.
Enrollment is scheduled to take place on Monday, December 20. Students who desire schedules will be able to get them at the Dean's office a few days before enrollment.
A number of beginning courses will be given for the benefit of students just entering college at the beginning of the second term.
Physical Condition Of Sailors Improved
No Orders Have Been Received Regarding Release or Pay
Fifty men in the naval section were examined for their releases from active duty in Barracks 4 this morning by Lieut. Cope (jr-grade) of the U.S.N.R.F. and two hospital apprentices. The examiners intend to finish their work with the men who took their oath here, and then have a physical condition and have had no diseases since their induction, here were examined first.

Victor Bottomly, who was graduated from the School of Law in 1915, spent Sunday with his sister Ruth Bottomly c'19. He was on his way from the infantry officers' training school at Camp Pike, Arkansas, to Harlem, Montana, where he is practicing law.

Zeigler Back in University
Fred M. Zeigler, c '19, and Mrs.
Zeigler, formerly Miss Fern Begholt
c'20, are in Lawrence. Mr. Zeigler
has received his discharge from the
arm. He was an aviation cadet and
had been graduated from Kelley
Field, Texas. Mr. Zeigler intends
to enter the University the second
semester, specializing in geology.
No orders have been received concerning the release of the men and the pay has not arrived. No information on clothing is available. The sailors examined will be kept till further orders are received. The examination was similar to the one given last fall and showed that most of the man had gained weight since their induction.
Only one man signed to remain in the service and go to the Great Lakes Training Station and 71 signed to leave school as soon as released while 183 gobs signed to remain in the University. The majority of the men in the naval section are upperclassmen and that accounts for the large percentage who will stay with K.U.

K.U. Lacks Equipment To Introduce Course In Vocational Training
Fate of New Classes Depends on Government's Willingness To Sell Machinery
G. C. Shand, dean of the School of Engineering, said this morning that he was still in no position to say whether or not vocational training could be offered next semester.
"The University has no great amount of money to spend for equipment for this department," he said, "but if the government should send word to us that we could buy the equipment we have now from them at least once a year," he said, that a course in vocational training would be offered next term."
At the present time, the department is ready to take a few special students. As soon as it is definitely determined that there will or will not be vocational work offered here in university, it will be announced at once.
Deen Shan has just returned from a joint meeting of the British Educational Mission and the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, at Boston School of Technology, and he announces that although nothing constructive was decided upon, in all probability the engineering department will resume its pre-war program as nearly as possible.
Daily Kansan to Help Students Find Jobs
Employment Wanted and Help Wanted Ads to Be Run Free of Charge
Now that the problem of the job is so immediate for a number of the University men and women, the University Daily Kansan has undertaken to do its part, and for the present will print, free of charge, advertisements of positions wanted and help wanted, each advertisement to run three to five days, as may be necessary.
The Daily Kansan, in this public service, is working in co-operation with the employment section of the M. Y. C. A., and Y. W. C. A., and is undertaking the service for the purpose of enabling students who otherwise would have to return home, to remain in the university.
The Y. M. C. A is making a convall of all the business men in town and hopes to have a large list of available jobs for men by the time the S. A. T. C. is demobilized. Applications for jobs should be turned in at once at the Y. M. C. A. office by men desiring jobs.
Students desiring to avail themselves of the Kansan's free employment wanted column will find blanks at the Daily Kansan office. Names do not have to be signed to the advertisements, but "blind" answers may be in care of the Kansan.
The Y. W. C. A. has the following jobs for women: 13 house work by the hour; 3 to do housework; for room; 2 to wait tables for board; 1 house work for room and board; 2 for clerical work; 1 to care for child, pay by hour.
The present list of positions open is as follows: 6 old jobs, pay by the hour; 4 men for paper routes; 3 colored waiters; 1 colored house man; 6 dish washers; 2 stewards; 6 white waiters; 2 candy clerks; 1 experienced job-printer; 10 furnace men; 10 or 12 men for farm help; several competent stenographers; pressman and typetters.
Professor Hekking needs both mei* and women to pose for students in the art department. The pay is 25 cents a period and the following hours are required: two days from 8 to 10:55 o'clock; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 to 12 o'clock; from 1 to 3:50 o'clock. The work room is 310 Administration Building.
Swimming Pool Closed
The swimming pool will not be opened this quarter or the first part of next. The filter that purifies and warms the water has been broken since last summer and until it is repaired the pool will remain closed.
Dr. Farragen, '05, Visits University Dr. W. F. Faragher of the Mellon Institute at Pittsburg, 14 visiting the University. Dr. Farragen was graduated from the college with the class of '05, receiving his doctor's degree in '10. He is now on his way to the Texas oil fields to do research work.
Journalism Collection of Cartoons Increased
Some originals of cartoons by Briggs, Farnor and Nankivell have been sent to the department of journalism by Glendon Allvine, a former student in the department now on the New York Tribune.
Nankwell was at one time cartoonist on Puck. The most valuable of these cartoons are four by Briggs. They are worth not less than $50 each. But these were presented to Mr. Alvine with the artist's compilations and were passed on to the department of journalism.
"Castles of the Loire" Live On Fraser Hall Screen
Jieut. Seymour de Ricci Lectures on Scenic Beauties of France
Visions of old beauty and suggestions of romance, castles and rivers, and France as American soldiers are seeing it now that their bloody business is over, were shown in lantern slides at the lecture of Lieut. Seymour de Ricci, art critic and member of the French mission, yesterday.
The subject of the talk was "Castles of the Loire." The Loire valley to the most fertile land in France, and there the kings and dukes of the lats middle ages built their chateaux for pleasure rather than for defense. The most beautiful castles are near Tours.
The chateau of Blois was the first one shown by Lieutenant de Rieut. It has four distinct types of architecture, for it was built and added to throughout three centuries. A statue of the king mounted now contains nothing of the original statue but the horse's tail. The interior of the castle is vividly decorated with the salamander of Francis I and with crowned and wreathed initials H and C, for the king and queen who held it in the fourteenth century. One slide showed the room in which the Duc de Guise was murdered by order of the king.
The chateau of Chambord, with its four great towers, the craneat of Cheroso, built in the form of a bridge over the river, and the castle of Ambisue, when Leonarda di Vinci was there, were also pictured on the screen.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Speaking of Phi Beta Kepa, said a University woman the other day. I once helped serve a supper or dinner or something in a church, a lodge, or somewhere and there was a whole slue of these Phi Beta Kappa persons about. The air was thick with them; in fact, if I don't misremember the dinner or supper or whatever it was entirely in their honor. Anyway, you knew they were there, a whole lot of them, because you couldn't move without stepping on three or four of them. They had been invited to eat and to to, to. You could have been Beta Kepas do. It was my first attempt at a close up in such a rare-field atmospheres, but it convinced me firmly of one thing. After watching several of that high-brow crowd cume the table hardware and misuse the cutlery entirely, I knew that I'd never be able to qualify for that lodge.
You can knock on the flu, and the way you are being worked, and the lack of speed in the demobilization of the S. A. T. C., but you can't crab about the weather.
Far-seeing student philosophers would not be surprised to see in the near-future, a high board fence defining the campus limits. This would be a great help to fraternity/freshmen who have been campused as a punishment for mid-week dates.
The women who pack their bags each noon, after hearing the latest rumor that the University is to be closed, and then have to settle down to stay here, are rather under the weather from the nerve strain.
When a girl needs a big sister— When K. P. calls off her week-end date.
There are some people who have been so eager to get our of classes that they have sent excuses of illness to their profs and there are others who have worried so about getting the "fuu" that now its hard to distinguish between cases of real illness and those of pure exhaustion from worry and mind-fatigue caused by inventing logical excuses.
Make Phi Beta Kappa and die.
Christmas Red Cross Dollar Subscription Drive On Next Week
Annual Membership Campaign
To Be Held on Hill December
16-23
Still Need Funds Badly
.
If Enough Is Raised, Large Drive in Spring Will Be Unnecessary
one annual Christmas Red Cross membership drive will be held on the Hill next week, December 16 to 23, Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the University Red Cross Committee, announced this morning. This drive is similar to the one held at this season last year, and every person will be asked to contribute one dollar to renew his membership in the national organization.
Booths will be put up in Fraser Hall, Administration Building, and Marvin Hall, and solicitors will be there at all times Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, to receive the subscriptions. It is hoped that the campaign can be completed here in three days, although the whole week has been given. All persons joining the Red Cross again will receive ten Rec Cross Christmas stamps, a window card, and a button.
"If enough money is raised in this drive," said Professor Mitchell today, "to continue the work among the French refugees and the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who are still in France, for some months, and it may not be necessary to have another big Red Cross drive. That's what that campaign is just a membership campaign, since there have been so many demands made recently on the students' funds.
"The idea that Red Cross money is not needed so badly at it was while the war was going on in a mistaken one," said Professor Mitchell. "As long as a large part of our forces is kept in France, we are under attack. Our refugees are in great need, Red Cross subscriptions are as imperative as ever."
The student subscriptions will be raised under the direction of Katherine Fulkerson, c19, who has organized a committee of twenty University women to have charge of the booths. Every student in K. U. is expected to contribute one dollar. "I have not been, informed," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, "just what the quota for K. U. is in this membership campaign, but the exact amount will probably be announced tomorrow." The faculty committee has been appointed, and since time is valuable these last two weeks of the quarter, faculty members and University employees are asked to give their subscriptions to these committees without waiting to be solicited. The committee follows.
Fraser Hall: A. S. Olin, E. F. Engel, J. G. Brandt, Homer Talbot, Miss Lynn, Miss Stanton, Mrs. Esterly, Miss Brown.

Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANBAN Lawrence, Kansas
The Daily Kansan aims to "pick up the undergraduate students and go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University has offered," he said to be clear; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be caring; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to the students of the University.
ADD TO THE CURRICULUM
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 11, 1918.
ADD TO THE CURRICULUM The University now has on its hands with no immediate use therefore the equipment used by the vocational training detachments which had been at work here since June 15. The automobile drivers and mechanics in particular made use of material little needed in the present courses given in the School of Engineering.
The University, because it has this equipment, is fitted to begin a new course in automobile work which would take the place of the private automobile schools now being largely attended all over the country. Instructors here believe the entire course could be given in twelve weeks, and are practically all in favor of adding the work to the curriculum of the University.
The school owes to the people of the state the maintenance of courses which will enable students to make a living. Whether or not University credit should be given men taking the work is a matter to be decided later, but the opportunity to add a new branch, with equipment all ready on hand, should not be neglected.
Lloyd Ware, manager of the Bowersock and Varsity theaters, says that when men have dates again, be believes that his business will pick up. Undoubtedly it will; and so will the taxi business, the manicuring business AND—the monkey business.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS
It was two o'clock in the morning and the train coming in was two hours late. Everyone was surly and crabbed. But throughout the general crush a soldier called out: "Let these women in first. If you are not a gentleman, try to act like it anyway."
A LIFE PRESERVER
K. U., will be treated to a new sor of quiz this year, shorter and maybe broader too. Because of the flu, the S. A. T. C., and other horrors of war, the faculty has concluded to lighten the twice-yearly burden and to present the students with a diluted, adulterated and censored form of quiz.
This quarter it will not be neede sary to equip oneself as for a protracted siege when going into the Chamber of Inquisition, for the prof's right to question has been cut down to an hour. The old sort of examination with a string of fifty-odd questions has gone temporarily where the wood-bite twinteth, and a pleasant little fifty-minute jauit into the Land of the Unknown has taken its place
But what of next quarter? Here's hoping a repentant faculty will find that an hour is a long enough period in which to pass sentence upon the youthful mind, and will confine their researches into the void to that length of time.
We are beginning to wonder if the storm-doors, which have been put up recently, are going to be needed this winter.
OUR NEW DEMOCRACY
The election of a colored student to Phi Beta Kappa may be considered an one of the best indications of the democracy of the University. James Scott is the first member of his race to attain the highest honor of a college career and he is received on an equal footing with the other members of the organization.
The work of negro students at the University has seldom been so spectacular as Scott's, but has often been of consistent excellence. K. U. appreciates the work of its colored men and women, and stands ready to acknowledge their claims on all distinctions the school offers.
DID GOETHE SLIP?
Goethe once said, "What we wish for in youth comes in heaps in our old age." The sad part about this remark, if it is true, is that most girls will be showered with bewitching bangs, 'vampish' eyes, little finger rings, narrow skirts, and an ability to get out of doing anything useful, at the very time when they will need a sound mind which contains a store-house of useful facts and a knowledge of the world that will help them to enjoy life.
And most men will be blessed in old age with beautiful mustaches, an ability to swagwet and look important, and a knowledge of how to do all kinds of unexpected steps to a one-step and still keep their partners with them. What they will need will be a permanent income to keep the wolf from the door.
May we add a paragraph to the effect that Goethe's version or vision also a bit dimmed by the glory which has befallen the Kaiser?
Some of the University girls are wondering why the flu couldn't have visited them when they spent those five weeks at home washing dishes and cleaning the pantry, instead of waiting until they returned to K. U. and coming at just the time the S. A. T. C. men were giving their dances.

ON THE RETURN OF A BOOK
I give humble and hearty thanks that my friend did not see fit to give this book to his infant as a plaything, nor use it as an ash-tray for his burning cigar, nor as a teething ring for his mastiff.
LENT TO A FRIEND I give humble and hearty thanks for the safe return of this book, which having endured the perils of my friend's bookcase, and the bookcases of my friend's friends, now returns to me in reasonably good condition.
When I lent this book I doomed it as lost: I was resigned to the bitterness of the long parting; I never thought to look upon it pages again.
But now that my book is come back to me, I rejoice and am exceeding glad! Bring bither the fatted morcoce and let us rebind the volume and set it on the shelf of honor; for this book was lent and is returned again.
Presently, therefore, I may return some of the books that I myself have borrowed.
A sympathetic old lady on seeing a Kiltie go by remarked: "The poor lad; it must be cold with nothing on his limbs but those cooties."

Campus Opinion
To The Kansan:
After a perusal of the communication of A. R. '19 in the Kansan Monday concerning the Medics and the brutal destruction of dogs, I feel that some statement relative to the position *ox* map of students is necessary and lust.
In the first place, as a student involved, I deny the accusation of "brutality of instinct" as a factor in any way entering in. We are not brutal because we have chosen to follow this profession, to the attainment of which much experimental work on animals is absolutely essential. As the years past have produced the reactions humans in the mayap must protect the present produce those of tomorrow. And is it not both right and merciful that work upon humankind should be preceded by that upon the lower mammals?
In the second place, I deny the "amusement" element. It seems anything but such to us concerned, and the securing of proper results from our experimentation is indeed a grim reality, calling for our serious and diligent attention. Furthermore, an occasional death by errors in administration of anesthetic results in both financial and time loss to the group in question. Nor can we be expected to be infallible; and surely it were infinitely better that we gain as much of our experience as possible here and now, on animals, than to gain it later on our fellowman.
Finally, the accusation of "torture" is alike unfounded. The animals are entirely under the influence of the ether, and consequently insincere it is by reason of our eagerness on this point, that deaths sometimes occur.
We frankly admit the statement that it is "routine class work"; a logically mapped out course of procedure to gain maximum information and technique in minimum time and on minimum number of animals sacrificed. Such being the case, we can hardly plead guilty to the charge of "aiding science." Perhaps a future day will allow some of us to endeavor in this direction; at present we will be content with routine.

How much more interesting a class is when the professor shows that he is enthusiastic about his subject. And how monotonous and tiresome a class is when the professor draws his lecture in a colorless, tired voice. That is, of course, from the standpoint of the student. From the standpoint of the professor, perhaps, he finds blank stares, weary waways, easily diverted attention, of students most annoying and depressing. While, on the other hand, the professor he finds interested faces intelligent, to-the-point questions, and a normal amount of attention inspiring. Perhaps enthusiasm for the subject taught depends on both student and professor. Qui sait? - Minnesota Daily.

"You think great saying is effected by letting women do men's work?" "Yes, in ways we didn't anticipate. We can now cut down sister's overalls to fit little brother"—Washington Star.
I was talking this afternoon with one of the oldest members of Plymouth, a sturdy old下earen, over ninety years of age. What do you suppose he was talking about? Things that happened before the Civil War? Not a bit of it. He wanted to know about things that had happened within in the last few days. Among other things, he was speaking about the Drives for various funds—The United War Fund, The Red Cross, etc. Said he, "I am greatly interested in all these opportunities for practical Christianity."
Now how about you young folks? "All you need is a heart and a dollar," say the Red Cross posters. Have you the heart not to pay so small a membership fee? As compared with going into the trenches, as compared with going into an overseas hospital as a nurse, it is such a little thing just to give a dollar. It is worth vastly more than that to feel that one is a partner in so Christian an enterprise.
Think of it—a man whose life goes back almost to the days of Napoleon rejoicing in the very latest movement that has challenged our pocket-books? You might think that after so many decades of giving a man, would want to let up a bit. Not so, he is glad to help to the limit of his ability.
Plymouth hopes that every K. U. Congregationalist will join the Red Cross this year. And Plymouth ventures the wish that some other reader of this item, not a Congregationalist, will have his dollar ready when the Drive begins.
Yours very cordially.

Pre-Nursing Courses Of 3 Months Offered To Women Next Term
University Adopts Plan of Council on Education for Training Nurses
A 3-month course in pres-s nursing will be offered at the University next quarter, to women who expect to go into hospitals for training as nurses. The American Council on Education through its committee nursing has asked that this course be offered in the higher educational institutions.
The purpose of the course is to cut down the time spent in the training hospital and to give the student the advantage of better laboratory facilities. The work will consist of a 5-hour course in bacteriology, a 4-hour course in chemistry, a 5-hour course in food and nutrition. The program will be arranged so that the student may take the entire course in three months. College credit is given for the work.
The University has notified the Council on Education that thirty women can be accommodated here. The only requisite is that they be at least 20 years old and in good health. Manhattan is the only other school in Kansas offering such a course.
This pre-nursing course will cut down the usual 3-year course offered in most hospitals, from three months on, year depending on the hospital entry.
Surgeon General Gorgas urges that there be no slacking in the training of nurses as the need for them is great.

Lectures on Health Will Be Given Women Students Next Quarter
Exercise to Be Largely Corrective, With Recreative Games
At a meeting of the faculty of physical education for women Tuesday night, Dr. Alice Goetz announced the program of work for the second term The topic for the term will be Health Education. The educational phase of physical education will be emphasized.
Lectures on personal hygiene will be given to all first year students, one hour each week instead of gymnastics work; on Monday to those whose names begin with the letters A to M, on Wednesday to those beginning with M to Z. The class will meet in Room 202 in the gymnasium. No text book is required. The principles of prevention of illness and the care of the health will be taught. Social hygiene will be included in the course.
Physical measurements and lungs test will be made of all students in the gymnasium and all will be able to perform the singing of their pasy- tique and strength.
The type of exercise given will be to a large extent, corrective. Recreative games and swimming will offset the seriousness of the program.
Navy Men Take Final Physical Examinations
Discharge of Section B Begins Tomorrow and Section A Friday
All men of the naval section of the S. A. T, C. were excused from class today to take their final physical examinations before being discharged or released. Examinations began at 8 o'clock this morning in the gymnasium and will probably be finished today.
Examination for Section A will be given Friday and probably will be on Monday.
Physical examinations for Section R of the S. A, T. C, will begin at o'clock Thursday morning. Lieuts. Judson S. Allen, Charles Brown, Clinton D. Collins, Harry Randell, and Finis S. Sadler are conducting the examinations, assisted by non-com-mitted officers and several privates.
Everything will be done to hasten preparations for the demobilization of the S. A, T. C. which cannot be begun until the discharge blanks arrive. All men must be discharged by December 20 and officers by December 21.
Maureen McKernan Wood Lectures to Journalists
The physical examinations are being given to protect the government against false claims for insurance.
"In your newspaper work, remember always to be a reporter and forget you are women," said Maurene McKernan Wood of the Topoca Capital, speaking especially to the women students today. Mrs. Wood was one of the first women to enroll in the department of journalism, and was the first woman to make the Kansas Board.
"If you would be successful," she continued, "you must let the other reporters on the paper know you want no special favors but are willing to work as one of them; be loyal and obedient to the paper.
"My city editor is next to my conscience and I feel that I must obey him in everything," said Mrs. Wood. "The work is hard and you will make your best friends but put your paper first and they will admiure you for it."
She said in conclusion that a newspaper woman has as great an opportunity for good as a social service worker because by means of the newspaper she could call attention to mutual concerns. She is righted as there are many people who are willing to help if their attention is attracted.
Accounting I, which has burefores been open only to sophomores next quarter, because of the particular demand for the work at this time. The course will be given by Professor Ferguson, and will be given three hours credit.
The Architectural Engineers Society met in Room 307 Marvin Hall, Tuesday night. Twenty-two members of the department attended. The society voted to contribute a set of books on architecture to the department.
Missouri Opposes Regular Schedule
The University of Missouri is opposed to making the regular Missouri Valley Conference basketball schedule for the 1918-19 season according to Professor Manley of that school in a telephone conversation with Prof. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering, who is the acting president of the Conference. The reason is that the schools of the Conference are disorganized and the influenza is still retarding their athletic activities. These conditions, added to the general confusion which will follow the demobilization of the S.A.T.C. seem sufficient to Professor Manley to play without a regular schedule.
Jplift Entertainments Crowd Soldier's Time
"The poor soldier boys who have nothing to do in their spare time! Can't we do something to entertain them?"
That's the constant cry of well meaning Y. M. men, kindhearted professors, and sympathetic women students. So the Y. M. man plans for a lecture on liquid air, the professor arranges to have the men conducted through the museum, and the kind young ladies get to work on a concert 'of semi-classical nature for the soldiers' entertainment.
"What man on this Hill wants to be conducted through the engineering building and the museum or wants to hear a lecture on some physical phenomena, or even be entertained by the uncultivated voices of attractive young women, they demand, if his attendance at these functions is impulsory? Yet all of these things he must suffer because of the kindness and interest of his K U. friends, isn't it a shame?"
"In the meantime, when do we write letters, on sockets or call outs?"
Bombay Fever Appears As "Flu" in Disguise
It seems that the "fu" is no respecer of persons, states, nations, or countries. Now comes word that the epidemic has spread throughout India, and according to Luu B. Bookwalter, graduate student here, formerly teacher in the Ceylon schools, is known there as Bombay fever.
Bombay fever, Spanish influenza,
and good old United States gripe all present the same symptoms of sore throat, pains in the back and legs, and is frequently followed by pneumonia. All schools in India and Ceylon are closed. Many deaths have been reported.
K. U. Continues Despite Grim Antics of Jinx

Kansas State Agricultural College was closed December 9, until December 30, by orders of President Jardine of that school. The influenza has not frightened Friend Aggie but it is getting the better of Manhattan. Although the school itself is closed, the S. A. T. C. men are Bing mustered out. Discharge papers were received by Captain Sturges, commandant at the school, and 287 were discharged Saturday. Two-hundred forty were released Monday and Tuesday. A large number of men will remain in school.

S. A. T. C. demobilization began at the University of Missouri, Monday of last week. Officers were discharged December 10. M. U. was closed November 27.
Washburn - has been closed since last Tuesday.
Southwestern's S. A. T. C. unit is to be demobilized December 21.
The University of Colorado will return to former regime next quarter its S. A. T. C. men was required to pay no tuition for the first quarter.

Fossil of Huge Lizard Obtained for Museum
Specimen Unusually Fine Says H. T. Martin, University Creator
H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the Department of Paleontology, has just unpacked, and is arranging preparatory to mounting, a very fine specimen of platecarpus icterius, a huge lizard about twenty feet long. The specimen was obtained from the chalk beds of Gove County, Kansas, during the past summer. The exact location was six miles southeast or Gove City. It required eight days to unearth the skeleton, and the clew Mr. Martin had to go on, was a very small fragment which had been washed out of the chalky rocks by rain. In moving the entire specimen from the ground, Mr. Martin says there were probably thirty tons of rock moved. It still is encased in chalk and this will all have to be removed so as to display the giant reptile. It will take at least three months to finish the work of restoration.
To view the heterogeneous mass as it lies on the work bench in the Museum, it is hard to conceive how this material can be fitted together and finally restored to anything like asemblance of even a fossil animal, yet Mr. Martin promises that when finished and mounted it will be one of the finest specimens known to science. The fossil is now on display on the third floor of the Museum.
Do people go to the library in one evening to study or to talk? If there are those who go for the latter reason, is it fair to those who go for the former? For several evenings there has been such a conversation buzz in the back part of the library that study is an utter impossibility. "Thoughtlessness," "frivolity," "youth," call it what you will, talking in the library that some of your students be taken in order that those who go there for study are given the opportunity and necessary quiet...Minnesota Daily.

Nebraska Warmer for S. A. T. C.
At the University of Nebraska the S. A. T. C. seems to be more popular than it is here; the in favor of disbanding it was only 840 to 411.
Basketball practice began at Columbia University last week, but the Varsity will not be organized until after the university begins its academic work in January.
Because of war conditions the faculty of the Yale Law School has arranged to offer students who are discharged from government service prior to February 6, special opportunities to make up law work. Students may enter at the beginning of the second semester, February 6, or study courses they will take credit for a half year's law study. By studying one and one half summer sessions they can make up the full year's work.
At the University of Missouri any student who has been called into national war service away from the University and who lacks not more than fifteen term-hours of meeting the requirements for graduation, will have his record referred to a committee of the faculty who will determine whether or not to recommend him for a degree.

Red Cross Subscribers Names to Be Published Day By Day in Kansar
University's Quota to Be Based On Campus Population
Dollar Each Is Expected
Booths to Be Opened Next Week In Fraser, Ad and Marvin Hall
Lists of subscribers to the Christmas Red Cross drive will be published in the daily Kansan next week, and will serve as receipts, since formal receipts are not to be given this year. No one is expected to give more than a dollar, which sum will renew his membership in the national Red Cross for a year.
for a year.
"K. U. quota will be based on the University population," said Professor U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the University Red Cross committee, today. "Faculty members, University employees, and their families, and students residing in Lawrence will be counted in determining this University population, but it is not known yet whether the K. U. quota will be 100 per cent based on the population.
100 per cent based on the "Men leaving the S. A. T. C., men not attaining classes, and those who had had their demobilization completed will not be counted in the University,"
"The actual count of persons in the University is being made in Dean Kelly's and Dean Shad's offices today," continued Professor Mitchell. Students not living in Lawrence are expected to contribute their dollars, unless their parents are renewing their Red Cross membership in the campaign being conducted in their own home towns.

Booths will be open in Fraser Hall and in the Administration Building Monday and Tuesday, and in these buildings and Marvin Hall on Wednesday. The University Red Cross committee expects to raise the quota on the Hill by Wednesday night, although the entire week may be taken for the work, if necessary.

Miss Mary Hairt of the University Hospital advises the students to take extra precaution during this rainy weather and to be sure to keep the feet dry.
There are no new cases of influenza among the students of the University, according to today's report from the Student Hospital and the S. A. T. C. Infirmary. One man is in the infirmary and six women are patients in the University Hospital, but none of the cases is at all serious and all of them will probably be discharged in a few days.
The situation in the city is not any worse, at least, and many of the cases of illness throughout the community are not influenza, but common colds. A number of downtown physicians said this morning that the situation is evidently improving.

School of Fine Arts
Gets W.S.G.A. Member
Upon receiving a petition signed by practically every member of the School of Fine Arts, the W. S. G. A. board elected Bernice White Scott vice-president of the board from the School of Fine Arts, at its regular meeting held last night.
This position was left vacant when Olive Constance, the Fine Arts vicepresident elected last spring, took up government work in Washington instead of returning to the University.
"Economics of the War"
Basis of New Courses
Special Consideration to Be Given Cost of War and Systems of Finance
Two special courses in economics designed to be pertinently timely, and called "The Economics of the War" and "Labor Problems of the Reconstruction Period" have been planned for the next quarter by Prof. A. J. Boynton and others in the department of economics. Chancellor Strong suggested that these courses be arranged because of the interest in these subjects by students.
The courses are open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have had Economics I. I. "The Economics of the War," three hours credit, will be given by Professor Boynton at 9 o'clock Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. The course is intended to treat in particular the economic problems involved in and growing out of the war. Attention will be directed to the nature of war under modern industrial conditions, to the resources of belligerents, to the wartime regulation of trade and industry, the control of supplies and of transportation and to the various expedients adopted by governments to prosecute war.
Special consideration will be given to war finance, the cost of the war, policies and systems of taxation, bond issues, paper money and bank credits utilized by governments to meet this cost and for the adjustment of war debts. The course will conclude with a study of the problems incident to demobilization, the programs of re-construction, and the economic factors of an enduring peace.
"Labor Problems of the Reconstruction Period," two hours credit, will be given by Prof. W. M. Duffus, at 8 o'clock, Tuesday and Thursday. This course is designed as a temporary substitute for Economics 71, (Labor Legislation) and will treat, as particular problems of the war period, subjects as arbitration, workers of labor, the minimum health insurance, worker's compensation, health insurance, housing, immigration, pensions, unemployment, actions of administration, etc. The aim of the course will be to give to labor problems as affected by the war a more intensive study than is possible in the more general course previously given.
Close Mending Service In Myers Hall Dec. 15
The mending and pressing room which has been open every day except Sunday, from 8 o'clock in the morning to 7:30 o'clock at night since Nov. 6 will be closed Dec. 15. The work has been in the hands of a Y.W. C.A. committee with Edna W. Burch as chairman.
Testaments given
An independent worker by the name of Norman connected with the New Testament League, visited the S. A. T. C. bracs Wednesday distributing testaments to the men. Some two hundred of the men signed cards to read a chapter a day. The Y. M. C. A. still has on hand a large number of the regulation "Y" testaments which the boys and anyone else interested in welcome to and have for the coming to the "Y" and asking for them.
The S. A. T. C. men have been charged nothing for the use of the materials to press and mend their clothing, and all services have been donated by K. U. women and town women.
Testaments Given S. A. T. C.
The Y. W. C. A. social service committee will go ahead with the work as it has been carried on every year. The mending and pressing room was only a temporary war measure.

Captain Scher Leaves Soon For Home in East; Lieut. Foltz in Command
Last of Demobilization Work to Be Completed About January 1
Capt. Bruno T. Scher, who has been in command of the Student Army Training Corps at the University of Kansas since the establishment of the unit, will leave for his home in the east soon, according to military authorities on the Hill.
Lieutenant Foltz has been the commanding officer of the vocational section, under Captain Scher, since Capt. Benjamin F. Rice left the University. Lieutenant Foltz will remain at the university until all the work of the Student Army Training Corps is complete.
nudities by **Captain Soher** received his order December 4, that he could leave the University after that date, but has remained to help with the plims for discharging the men. He turned the command of the unit including both sections, to Lieut. Thomas G. Foltz, yesterday afternoon, and said at that time that he intended to leave soon, perhaps Friday.
is competent.
"I do not believe that the last of the work can be finished before the first week in January," said Lieutenant Foltz this morning. "I will remain here until the last of the reports and correspondence is over. The work of the officers now in charge will be getting the men demobilized and granting them discharges from the service."
Although Lieutenant Foltz has practically taken over the command of the unit, Captain Scher will be in direct command until he leaves the post, according to Lieutenant Foltz.
Sigma Delta Chi Holds First Meeting of Year
Journalism Fraternity Urges Careful Consideration Before Decision on R. O. T. C.
Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, held its first meeting of the year Wednesday night, following The Kansas Board's annual Christmas dinner, and passed resolutions urging the University not to commit itself on R. O. T. C. proposals until the University had complete and definite assurance as to the exact nature of the R. O. T. C. and the type of officers who would be sent here.
The presence of two visiting members, Sergt. Lawson Maw of Hutchinson and late of a machine gun officer's training school, and Vernon Moore, a petty officer at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, was the occasion of the meeting of Sigma Delta Chi. Mr. May and Mr. Moore are former members of the Kansan Board and were guests of honor at the Christmas dinner. Two new members were elected at the meeting, Ferdinand Gottlieb and Edgar Hollis, both members of the Kansan Board
Plans for active work, after Christmas, when the Kansan staff contains a larger number of men, were discussed. It was proposed that Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority, petition the department of journalism for one of the Kansan members for regular member office; they proposed to place in this room a bronze tablet to the memory of the late Wayne Wilson and other former members who died in the service.
Endearments to Entertain Soilers
A farewell social in honor of the members of the S. A. T. C. who will not return to school after Christmas will be given Saturday evening at the Presbyterian Church by the Christian Endeavor Society of that church. All Presbyterian young people and their friends have been invited, "Stunts" will start at 7:30, with some new games afterward. Refreshments will be served rather early to enable the men to get back to the barracks before taps.
Endeavors to Entertain Soldiers
In discussing the experience of the University with the S. A. T. C, it was generally agreed that the experiment had been a farce without laughter, the same being the sadstest thing in the world, one member said. If the University adopted a proposed R. O. T. C, plan it would run a danger of encountering the same experience in a degree.

Many Men Not To Get Outfits of Clothing as Formerly Promised
Requisition Slips For Clothing Returned Unfilled From Great Lakes
The usual bag of clothing valued at $105.00 will not be issued to the men in the naval section here according to a letter received by the commanding officer from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station Wednesday. It is not considered advisable to issue the clothing to the men as they will be on inactive duty by December 21, and the requisition slips for clothes were returned unfilled.
No information as to whether men will be reimbursed in cash for the amount or any part of the clothing nor when the men will be paid is available. Sailors have been wearing out their own clothes, and it is not known whether they will be paid for these clothes or not.
All sailors who enlisted at the University of Kansas were examined for their releases from active to inactive duty Wednesday. No orders have been received concerning the men who enlisted at other stations or who were ordered here from other stations last fall. Lieutenant Cope of the U. S. N, R. F, and two apprentice hospital men had charge of the examinations. Lieutenant Campbell had charge of their enlistment last fall.
The physical condition of the men who were examined was improved with the exception of the ones who had been ill with influenza. In some cases those who were victims of the flue lost weight, or their sight was affected. Nearly all of the men were heavier.
Each Subscriber Gets His Own Vote Coupon
Jayhawker Board Tries to Elim inate Graft in Beauty Contest
All men who have given the receipts for their pictures which have been taken for the 1919 Peace Book, should go to the person who collected them and demand the vote coupon in return, according to Lynn Hershey, business manager of the Jayhawker.
Harold Hoover, who has been selling subscriptions for the Jayawhacker went to Barracks 3, during mess the other day and said that all receipts to the S. A. T. C. pictures were to be turned over to him because there would be no more receipts issued. According to Mr. Hershey this was done absolutely without his knowledge. He says that every man who holds a receipt for a picture is entitled to get votes for it and to cast them for the contestant he wants to support.
Mr. Hower, according to the members of the Jayhawker Board is in no way connected with the Jayhawker, and is only selling subscriptions to the book.
According to S. A. T. C. men in Barracks 3, practically all of them turned in the receipts to Hoover, thinking that it was an order of some kind, since he is a sorgent.
Each receipt which is given when a picture is taken is good for 250 votes. This receipt should be taken to any person who is selling the Peace Book, and a vote coupon for 250 votes will be given the holder. Across the face of the receipt will be written by the one who is selling the book "Votes Issued." This will be done in order to prevent any one using the receipts more than once.
"There have been about 250 subscriptions sold already." The squad Hershey this morning, "The squad of Peace Book salesmen are on the campus at all hours and they are doing good work."
Men who intend to leave the University are especially urged to sign up for the Jayhawker, before they return to their homes. Books will be sent to any address left with the business manager.
There will be a meeting of all upper-class men in the lecture room of Snow Hall, Friday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock.

Dramatic Club Elected Three Members Tuesday
The three other members of the cast were not rejected but placed on the list for further consideration or try-out.
Members who were elected to the Dramatic Club at the first try-out on December 10, were Merrill Dubach, Tuley Louise Shepard, Majorie Fulton, and Payton Kaxler.
All members of the cast did good work, and there was a good deal of dissension among the dramatic club members as to which one should be taken in.
There is great interest in the tryouts each afternoon this week at 4:30 in the "Little Theater" and a great deal of real "talent" is in evidence.
Plain Tales From the Hill
During drill Wednesday morning, the Navy men celebrated by marching down the street in a column of squads, swaggering in cross-step style to the song "drank last night."
Just because you were scared to dress once, Louise, when you were loitering around Fraser Hall, you need not get hysteresis every day for the same reason. What you heard wasn't a shrapnel bombardment. It was merely the click and thud of hob-nail gunboats descending the Fraser fire escape, carrying S. A. T. C. rookies from some lecture.
Although this is happening every day now, and even several times a day, it soon will be over. The gunboats will be replaced by English toes, and the honehails by rubber heels and noiseless soles.
The Naval Section down in Barracks 4 is called by many the "dryland Navy." A couple of the gobs shook the shore dust from their boots in the bright sunshine of a day this week and put off to sea. The ocean they sailed upon was Potter's Lake, the good船 was the clumsy raft that hangs around those waters, and the propelling power was boards.
Quite merrily the seamen roved the sea and finished a successful voyage, notwithstanding the fact that the ship shoals struck in one place and passed over water so deep in another that the oars failed to find bottom. The time of the trip across the sea and back was about one hour. There are two salty gobs now among the "Dry-lands."
Board of Alumni Visitors To Meet Here Three Days
Questionnaire Absolves Frater-
nities from General Charge
Of Snobbishness
The Board of Visitors of the Alumni Association, the committee which is striving to bring together, the students, the state and the alumni of the University, will meet December 16, 17 and 18 in the alumni rooms.
As alumni, they see the influence of the school throughout the state, watching for chances to make that influence harmonious.
Although the organization was made less than ten years ago, the work which it is doing has already proved valuable.
It is probable that no committee of the school has greater interest in the students and their activities. Last winter questionnaires were sent to representatives of student organizations asking their opinion on several questions pertaining to University life. The summary of these answers was pleasing.
One thing which the members of that committee was anxious to have decided by students was the helpful and constructive value of social and fraternal organizations on the Hill. The majority of the reports they received showed that such organization could be more helpful than instructive than the present, because a means of reaching individuals who would otherwise, perhaps, be indifferent to some important activities of the University."
Student replies to the question-
naires said that _snobbishness is not
general, that it is found outside as
well as in organizations, but there are
not so many "snobs" among the lower
classmen.
The members of this committee are Helen Perry Edwards, A.B., 166, Eureka; John F. Bender, A.B. 60, Pittsburg; C. C. Brown, A.B., 96, Topena; Grace Willey, A.B., 12, Wichita; J.W. Gleed, A.B., 79, A.M., 82, Topeka.
Demobilization Begins Today For Section B Of University S.A.C.T.
Lieut. Cramer Goes to Funston To Get Discharge Blanks Yesterday
Exams Begin for Section A
The work of the demobilization is being done by Lieut. Thomas Maiden and Lieut. Ralph Carter, adjutant and their office force of about fifteen men.
Discharge of Collegiate Section Will Be Completed By December 20
Lieut. Prank J. Cramer went to Funston late yesterday afternoon to get the blanks. He brought back 1750 discharge blanks and 1600 War Risk Insurance and allotment blanks.
Demobilization of the men in the vocational section of the Student Training Corps began this morning at Robinson Gymnasium. The work has been held up on account of the failure of the blanks for the discharge of the men to arrive.
The work of discharging the men will continue all this week but no one will be allowed to leave the post before December 17, according to Lieutenant Cramer, because it will be impossible for the money for the soldiers to get here before that date. The company pay rolls were signed by every man this week and have been sent to Chicago, from which place the amount of money necessary for the post will be forwarded.
As soon as the red tape of getting out of the army is unwound for the vocational section, the demobilization of the collegiate section will begin.
Physical examinations for this section will begin Friday morning under the direction of Lieut. Judson S. Allen and the other officers of the medical corps.
medical corps.
The collegiate section will be demobilized by companies. Companies A and B will be discharged and will leave December 18, companies C and E, December 19 and F, G and H will complete their service December 20. Section B will receive its pay and will leave the University December 17. As soon as the men receive their discharges they are required to move out of the barracks. Company H will be the last company out of the barracks. All extra equipment and clothing, except the complete wool outfit which was issued every man this week, will be returned to the quart-
According to present plans all the officers, except perhaps two or three who will have to complete the work of the Student Army Training Corps will leave the University December 21.
Call Ban Off December 15 On University Meetings
After conferring with the University health committee, Chancellor Frank Strong has decided to call off the ban on unnecessary meetings Sunday, December 15. "The University health authorities are of the opinion," said the Chancellor this morning, "that the recent wave of the influenza epidemic has practically run its course, and in this event, it is no longer imperative to avoid public gatherings."
"The ban was a preventive measure," continued the Chancellor, "so that K. U. would not have to close, as have other colleges in the state, and now that its purpose has been accomplished, it need not be continued longer."
The Women's Glee Club will hold its regular weekly rehearsal in Fraser Chapel tonight at 7 o'clock. Membership in the club depends on the regularity of attendance at rehearsals.
Beta Theta Pi announce the pledging of Charles Knapp of Kansas City, Mo.
The Hostess House in Myers Hall will be kept open until December 31, when all K. U. men are to be discharged from the S. A. T. C., instead of being closed December 15, as was previously announced. The pressing and mending room will also be in operation until the close of the quarter. Mrs. Belle Wilmot will continue to be hostesses.

A WORTH WHILE LECTURE
THURSDAY, DEC. 12, 1918
The question of the establishment of a league of nations is among the most important to be discussed at the Versailles peace conference. Will the United States imperial its position of splendid isolation by agreeing to the plan? Will the placing of power into the hands of a selected few be a good move toward universal peace? Should the "outlaw nations" have a place in the league? Does union connate strength? Will an international police force solve the problem of international peace?
University students will have an opportunity tomorrow to hear a practical discussion of this all-important problem by Lord Charnwood, an authority on international law and politics. Lord Charnwood is well known as a historical lecturer, and has much actual experience in the field of diplomacy. The men and women of the University should endeavor to obtain a clearer understanding of the proposed league by attending the lecture tomorrow afternoon.
DELAYED DEMOBILIZATION
The Nobel Peace Prize will not be awarded this year. It would be a difficult problem in arithmetic to divide the prize evenly among the two million odd men in France who deserve it.
More than half the men in the Manhattan S. A. T. C. have been given their discharges. The demobilization of the Emporia Normal unit was completed Tuesday. The student soldiers at Washburn were released Monday. The work of disbanding at Hays Normal commenced last week and has now been completed.
But at the University of Kansas, the largest school in the state having a unit of the S. A. T. C., not a man has been given his discharge and practically nothing has been accomplished toward demobilizing the corps. The effect of these conditions on K. U.'s morale has not been of the best.
Only the belated arrival of physical examination blanks from Camp Funston has made possible the beginning of work. The smaller schools were issued blanks first in order that their units might be disbanded at once. The sudden demand for the blanks found the War Department with only a limited number on hand.
The responsibility for the delay in demobilizing here does not seem to rest with the officers, as is the popular belief. The officers are many of them as anxious as the enlisted men to get out of the service, now that
Airplane docks to be erected in Lawrence? Whoa, Pegasus. Hereafter, the phrase, "Hitch your wagon to a star," will have a practical and not a theoretical meaning.
BASKETBALL OR DANCES
A smooth, brightly polished floor is highly desirable for a dance, but when a basketball team must use the same space to practise upon, these qualities are not appreciated. Basketball practise has been interrupted or called off several times since the season started because dances were to be given in the gymnasium or the floor was too slick to suit the basketballers.
The gymnasium has a good dancing floor, but there are others in town equally as good not so far from the student district. So long as the University authorities permit the floor to be used for dancing purposes the basketball team will suffer. So why use it?
Now the Italians and Jugo-Slavas are having words. Why not put a fence around the Balkans and call it neutral territory?
RETAINING THE O. D.'s
"To wear or not to wear" will be the question next quarter when the obligation to cloth themselves in military garb will be at an end among the men. Student soldiers will be allowed to retain their issued clothing for four months after leaving the service, but will not be obliged to wear it unless they so desire.
By continuing the use of uniforms, K. U. men can do much to help relieve the stringency in the wool supply. The large number of soldiers returning to civilian callings in which uniforms would be unfitted will place an enormous strain on the clothing manufacturers, who are still on "wool 'ations."
Each man who continues to wear his uniform will save the price of a winter suit, and there can be no doubt that the woolens now being issued are as attractive in appearance as any civilian clothing.
The University as a public institution could do much in conserving wool by making the wearing of the uniform compulsory among those of its members who have received them.
The University Senate late las year passed a ruling requiring the wearing of uniforms, but the establishment of the S. A. T. C. made this obsolete. Of course the purchase of uniforms by men who do not have them would be more wasteful than otherwise and should not be made compulsory, but the use of the clothing the government has issued would be a matter of economy and conservation.

This afternoon I had a thrilling adventure. I came in on the train and took a taxi for the house. And who do you think was in the Ford when I got in? It was Jess Willard. I knew him from his picture, and then he told the driver where to take him. Well, he asked me who I was, and how I liked the Hill, and where I came from, and everything except whether I was going to the side of my face was gum or a wisdom tooth. Now, I hadn't ever been introduced to Mr. Willard, and when I got home and told the house and mother about it she was horrified. Was it awfully awful of me?
I ought not to encourage unlady-like proceedings, but under the circumstances, I think it was perfectly all right for you to answer Mr. Willard's questions. He didn't mean any harm. I know him personally, and will vouch for him to your house-mother.
Dear J. C.:
I have been writing home all fall for money to buy a wool uniform. Most of the fellows in my barracks have them and I thought I should have one too. Dad didn't see it that way till just last week, when he came through with a sizeable check. He said that now he expected me to come home looking like a soldier, since he'd heard so much about the good points of wool uniforms. The next day three companies were issued woolens, so I thought I was in luck and spent the whole cheek on a big week-end trip to Kansas City. Now we aren't going to get any after all, and I have promised to come home next weekend, but if I show up without a wool i will be all out of luck. Please tell me what to do.

GREAT MEN: GREAT EATERS
The great majority of famous men have been huge eaters, and big brain workers with small appetites have always been noted as being exceptional. Lloyd George, M. Clemenceau, the French premier; Sir Douglas Haig and President Wilson, to name only a few of the famous leaders and thinkers this day, all have excellent appeties and all think better after a good meal.
The great empire builder, Cecil Rhodes, ate far in excess of the average man. Balzac, the famous French author, thought nothing of eating 12 mutton cutlets and a dozen or oysters at a meal. Sir H. Rider Haggard is a believer in substantial meals, as G. K. Chesterton.
Hindenburg and Ludendorff, the two German leaders, both are notorious for being absolute glutons over their food, as was the famous of all German leaders, Bismarck. Bismarck, indeed, had an absolutely phenomenal appetite, regularly eating meals which would satisfy three ordinary men—Detroit News.

One of the jolliest persons on Mount Oread this winter is a young foreign missionary home from the Far East on her first furlough. All foreign missionaries are jolly. Really they are. Taken as a buguch they are the first to leave the country. Back to America and they call it slow. They chase back to their mission stations post haste as soon as their furloughs are over.
I have sometimes wondered why K. U. hasn't more foreign students. It ought to have. It would do us all good to have a little group of Chinese and Japanese, a few South Americans—and now that the war is over, soope The atmosphere of the university would be far more cosmopolitan.
Why don't we have a foreign body big enough to have a Cosmopolitan Club? Last winter a brilliant young Chinese secretary was going to make us a visit at K. U., but he found that the trip wasn't worth the expense—his countrymen here were too few.
And how about yourself? Have you ever thought of being a foreign missionary? Why not? It's the finest, happiest, most inspiring task on the whole round earth—to be a foreign missionary. It really is. Ask any of them if it isn't.
It would be different if we had a larger interest in Foreign Missions. Many schools smaller than K. U. have their own foreign missionaries. Why not K. U?.
If you don't believe me, ask Dr. Arthur Braden. He knows. And he would be mighty glad to talk to you about it. If you really want to make your life count in the next fifty years, be a foreign missionary!
Yours very cordially,
ROSS W. SANDERSON.

Public Improvements Suggested as Method Of Employing Veterans
Prof. A. J. Boynton Compares Situation to That at Close of Civil War
Charity Is Not Desirable
Providence, R. I., Levels Hills and Fills Marshes With Ex-Soldier Labor
To meet the problem of unemployment resulting from demobilization and closing down of war industries Prof. A. J. Boynton head of the department of economics, believes government and municipal improvements on a large scale will be undertaken.
"The situation after the Civil War was met by homebound grants," said Professor Boynton, "but that is scarcely practicable now."
A considerable number of men could, however, be employed in the building projects that were halted by the war, and in road improvements. The proposed Fort to Fort highway, would furnish work for many men but it should not be undertaken unless it will be of sufficient economic value to pay for its construction, economist believe. Unless the work is valuable and needed, it is but a temporary remedy that borders on charity.
"The system tried out in Providence, R. I., to provide employment for men was good," said Professor Boynton. "Providence is situated on hills and on marshy ground. The municipal authorities saw the advantage of lowering the hills and filling in the swamps and at the same time furnishing needed jobs. The reclaimed land made building sites which sold for enough to more than pay the wages of the men employed."
It has not been the rule for city or other governing bodies to use similar foresight, making improvements that would pay for themselves and making them only in times when work was most needed. If such a program for definite production enterprises would simplify the problem of giving returned soldiers adequate employment or jobs create merely an excuse for paying wages to unemployed heroes.
Even now there are more men than jobs, and the government has issued advice to industrial concerns not to reduce wages for the present and not to turn off men suddenly.
It is, according to the teachers of business, up to the city, state, and national governments to find productive occupations for the men who come back to resume civil vocations, learn new skills, take places which will be given back to these men, and for the many workers in war industries now closing down.
This will cause only temporary relief of the situation, and will not affect the problem of men returning from service. No further plans have been announced by the federal government or by state and local authorities.
Kansan Board Gave Its Annual Dinner Last Night
The first Kansan Board dinner of the year was given in the news room of the Kansan office, Wednesday night at 6 o'clock, for the members of the Kansan Board, the professors of the department, their wives and the office force. Majorie Roby, editor-in-chief, acted as tastemist-maestro.
Former Kansan Board members and students in the department who were present are: Mrs. Maurine McKenna Wood of the Topeka Capital, Miss Lucile Nowlin, George Montgomery and D.L. Hartley, all of the Kansas City Star, Vernon Moore, who is here on furlough from the Great Lakes Training School, and Guy Scriber who has been connected with The Nation's Business in Washington, D.

SHOPPING DAYS
TO CHRISTMAS
Enter the Camera Man Who's a Real Rustler
The most dangerous man on the Hill is Otte O. Hopfer, head of the 1919 Jayhawker camera squand. Avoid him, if you don't want your smile gracing the back pages of the Peace Book. Hopfer is that rare specimen, the energetic, ophthisite, and efficient office-holder. He likes to sit behind a desk with something new in the way of persons who are elected to boards and staffs.
Hopfer goes to the committee meetings, but is one officer on the Hill who does not relish them. He prefers to dash across the Hill, camera strapped artistically over his shoulders, in pursuit of photographs. And this he does.
Last year Hopfer was a freshman. He did not wear his freshman cap and was therefore forced to walk along the campus one fine morning attired in pink negligence. The laws were the mean men who chastised Hopfer, but look what it did to his spirit—he's the regular K. U. man now, and is showing people how work can be done when one really goes after it.
Rooming Houses Should Elect Presidents Early
Woman's Student Council Will Assist Women to Organize If Requested
All women's rooming houses which have not elected house presidents should do so at once, according to Mary Smith, vice-president of the W.S.G.A., is who in charge of the House Presidents' Council. Women who want to organize their houses and who do not understand the method thoroughly will be assisted by members of the woman's student council if they send in their names and addresses to Miss Smith.
All houses should be organized before end of the term since the second meeting of the House President's will be held early in the second term.
Under the new rules, adopted by the presidents' council, all names of women breaking University rules will be reported to the house president instead of calling the women before the council. Continued breaking of rules dealt with by the council before being sent to the disciplinary committee.
Speaking of celebrities, there are some real men on the Hill this year. Lafayette and George Washington, Washington, and Mahali - Omar himself - are all with us.
Heroes in Our Midst Bear Historic Names
Like most celebrities they aren't honored in their own communities, and nobody much on the Hill seems to know them. In fact, the students who meet George and the Marquies and old Omar every day between barracks and war aims don't know who is passing.
To be perfectly serious, the celebrities have only a reflected glory, for they are not genuine personages of history. They are S. A. T. C. men whose fond parents did honor to heroes.
Ulysses and Xenophon, Wellington and Sherman are with us. Alexander is represented, of course, Vergil, Kipi and Gaias, and only literary geniuses on the roster.
Admiral Dewey is the favorite hero. There are twenty-two men on the S. A. T. C. roster named Dewey. Most of them are George Dewey, at that. Fred Funston is a close second in popularity, and Washington and Milton are men is labeled Willard, but without the courage to whether his parents named him for the prize fighter or the temperance worker, Miss Frances.
Vernon Moore Visits K. U.
Vernon Moore, formerly business manager of the Daily Kansan, is in Lawrences, a hotel furthough from the Great Lakes National Travel Hotelion. He tells of meeting Harley Holder, formerly of the Kansan Board, at the central postoffice. Robert Reed and Eugene T. Dyer, also members of the Kansan board while in the University, have been sent from Great Lakes to Harvard University to finish their radio work.
McKinley and James Garfield are the presidents of the United States who are at present, with added sur-
nices, enrolled in the University.

Hamilton Will Attend Conference of Coaches Friday and Saturday
To Make Basketball Schedule and Decide on Eligibility
Rules
W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics at the University, will attend the meeting of the coaches of the Missouri Valley at the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City, Mo., Friday and Saturday of this week to make out the Kansas basketball schedule and to arrive at some decision concerning the eligibility of the men who are being discharged from the S. A. T. C. Coach Hamilton is in favor of placing the men on the same standing previous to their induction and playing first year men the rest of the year.
Olson, a former Lawrence high school star, is playing good ball for the Jayhawkers. Bunn is coming out now and playing true to form. The men have been practicing passing and running, the last two practices. Coach Hamilton expects to be write the team every day after the first of the year.
Coach Hamilton was unable to get out for basketball practice Wednesday because of the meeting of the University Senate, and Matthews had charge of the men. The team has some good material and will develop into a winner with practice but the men are unable to get the floor at all times
The physical examinations for discharges from the S. A. T. C. will be given on the gym floor this week and the men may be unable to use the gym facilities in the tables and apparatus used by the examiners are removed every evening.

Keep up the irrigation of the nose and throat by using a good gargle and spray three or four times daily.
Avoid all undue exertion, such as walking up hill rapidly.
Eat less meat than usual, and eat as much fruit as possible.
Eat and sleep regularly.
Relapses in flue cases are often caused by irritating the bronchial tubes and it is for this reason that rapid breathing should be avoided.
In cases where the patient has carried high temperature, and in less severe cases also, the heart may be afflicted; the patient should avoid all strain.

Strong Favors R.O.T.C.
For K.U., But Does Not
Want To Hurry Into I
1370 K. U. Students Sign Petition to Establish Officers' Training Camp on Hill
To Decide By January
NUMBER 40.
Faculty Committee Will Settle Question Within Two Weeks
A petition to have a Reserve Officers' Training Corps at the University of Kansas, signed by 1730 K. U. men, was presented to Capt. D. B. Miller, who conducted the government Investigation here last week, and has been turned over to Chancellor Frank Strong. The petition also requested that Lieut. Frank J. Cramer, commanding officer of the collegiate section of the. A. T. C., be retained as officer in charge of the R. O. T. C., in the event that such an organization be established at the University.
Chancellor Strong, when interviewed by a student committee representing the various schools of the University, in regard to his opinion concerning the petition, expresses himself as being in favor of the R. O. T. C. at the University of Kansas, but said that he believed its installation should be postponed until every one is more prepared for it.
"I believe the Reserve Officers' Training Corps would be a fine thing for K. U.," said the Chancellor, "but we should not rush it until we are sure enough men would enter to run is successfully."
Dr. Strong has recently expressed himself publicly as considering the S. A. T. C. at K.U. U. a failure, and not in a hurry to combine military and collegiate affairs again until he has some assurance that the plan will be more feasible than the S. A. T.C. has been.
The student committee which took up the matter with Chancellor Strong included Herbert Mee, of the School of Law, James Scott, of the School of Medicine, Joe Mahan, of the School of Engineering, and Lynn Hershey, of the College.
Capt. W.A. Hatch, 36th Infantry Will Take His Place Until Demobilization
Captain Scher Will Leave Tonight for Home in East

The faculty committee with whom the de- signer is supplied of Prot. R. H. Hodder, Dean George C. Shad, Prof. F. B. Dains, Coach W. O. Hamilton, Prof. A. T. Walker, and Dean F. J. Kelly.
Capt. Bruno T. Scher, commandant of the Student Army Training Corps at the University, will leave tonight for his home in Massachusetts. He will stop in St. Louis and New York and will be at his old home for Christmas for the first time in twenty-five years. Captain Schoen is now on the retired list of United States Army officers and has put on civilian clothes.
Capt. W. A. Hatch, 36th Infantry,

Students' Loan Fund Drawn on for $2250
About $2250 has been lent this year to various students of the University by the Students' Loan Fund, vision of George O. Foster, registrar.
The ruling is that no student may borrow more than $100 at one time.
The number of loans that have been made this year is about the same as in previous years. At present there are four loans pending.
Con Hoffman, American, Is Still In Germany With Prisoners of War
Former K. U. Secretary Allowed to do Y. Work for Captives With Government Consent
Now that the armistice provisions relating to the repatriation of American prisoners of war are being carried out, it may be written for the first time how, all during the hostilities of the last nineteen months, an American citizen, working for the Y. M. C. A. in Georgetown the day before the attack, was on the enemy's camps—and all with the approval and consent of the German government.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 13, 1918.
Not to give too much credit to Germany for the concession, however, it should be stated that the name of the American in question is Conrad Hoffman, and that he had done Y. M. C. A. work in German cities and towns for a number of years before the war. He had friends at courts and in the army so that when the time came for ex-Ambassador Gerard to leave, the latter was able to peraude the authorities to let Mr. Hoffmann remain behind and to free him from danger of being interned or arrested.
He was made to give his oath that he would not propagate among the American prisoners and the intermed American civilians whom he was to serve; that he would not aid them to escape or wink at attempts to escape and that he would recruit whatever staff he needed entirely from neutrals. He did so, and with the help of the United States men and women was able to mitigate in some way the arduous life of the prison camps.
Through A. C, Harte, a Y agent in Berne, Switzerland, he received both funds and such things as athletic equipment, phonographs and records, books, magazines, tobacco, and soap. In every camp he organized committees from the prisoners themselves to take care of the local distribution of the supplies. In one of the larger camps he succeeded in placing a library of some 500 volumes and in another, by the aid of the funds sent through, the prisoners were able to get out a little camp paper of their own entitled the "Barbed Wireless." — Stars and Strings.
The State Board of Pharmacy will hold a meeting and an examination in Lawrence, February 12 and 13. All pharmacists in the State of Kansas must be registered and to get licenses must make application to this board, the University school of Pharmacy of the University are registered without examination.
Mr. Hoffman was secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at the University for several years. At the outbreak of the war he volunteered for foreign service and was sent to Germany.

Christmas Red Cross Drive Starts Monday With 8 o'Clock Whistles
Workers Expect to Enroll 50 Per Cent of Population in Three Days
"When the whistle closing the 8 o'clock classes Monday morning is prolonged," said Prof. U, G. Mitchell this morning, "I do not want University people to think that fire has broken out. It will mean that the Christmas Red Cross drive has started."
Lawrence will initiate the campaign by blowing whistles and probably by a parade down town. The drive will extend from next Monday till Christmas but the enrollment in the university will necessarily be done next week. Re Cross workers expect to make the q ota in the first three days before exe instinations begin.
Each person joining the Red Cross in this campaign will receive a badge, similar to the one issued in last year's drive, but the year is added. Ten Christmas Red Cross stamps will be given each member, and a window card will go to each house, with stickers to be placed on the card for every additional member from this house joining.
"Persons ought to put up their window cards and wear the badges," said Professor Mitchell, chairman II of the staff. "It is important that the workers a lot, if all do this."
Subscriptions this year must be cash, according to Professor Mitchell, as a dollar must be turned in by the University Red Cross W. E. Spalding, treasurer of the campaign in Lawrence for every name entered on the enrollment sheets. No receipts will be issued.
The quota of the University has not been determined yet, because the population has not been counted. The goal will amount to a membership of 50 per cent of the University's population. Figured on the basis of the number of faculty members and employees, there are resident students of Lawrence in the last drive, the quota will be about 600, Mr. Mitchell said.
Each day the names of the persons subscribing the previous day up to 5 o'clock in the afternoon will be published in the Kansan, as nearly as Chairman Mitchell can compile the lists.
This bulletin was assembled at the suggestion of committees of the National Research Council in conference with prominent military man, and is one of a series of such reports from this meeting. It is also on m.a.s. throughout the United States.
A fund amounting to about thirty-five dollars was raised for the fatherless children of France by the sale of post cards in Fraser Hall. This sale was under the charge of Margaret Mitchell. The amount will be enough to keep one child a year. Postcards will be on sale down town next week and the money added to the same fund.
State Geologist Surveys Lands At Camp Funston
"The Environment of Camp Funston" is the title of a bulletin just off the press, and issued by the state geological survey, under the direction of Dr. Raymond C. Moore of the University, and state geologist.
Comparisons Are Made With Territory Fought Over In France
The "Western theater of War" is given in a chapter comparing conditions at Funston and Riley with French battle fields by Major Douglas W. Johnman. When it is realised that maps were made for Perishing's drive at St. Mikhil and that other countries have very minute maps of such geographical features, the importance of this bulletin can readily be seen.
The bulletin was prepared as a war measure, being in the hands of the printer at the time of the signing of the artillery and is still of lasting value, as Fort Riley and Camp Funston will be permanent stations.
The bulletin is filled with interesting maps and other data relative to war and peace and some of the maps are interesting comparison of the topographical features in similar formations in France about Solisons and the valley of the Aisne.
Co. M. Gets in Fight Few Days Before End Of Titanic Conflict
One Thought is to Dig In and
Dig Deeply While Shells
Are Dropping
Company M, 137th Infantry, which contains a large number of University of Kansas men, saw some active fighting just before the close of hostilities. Corp. Harvey Rodgers, who was a student in chemical engineering writes his wife, who is now a student on the Hill, of his impressions under date of November 8. He says:
"From there we took trucks to the place where we did go into the real thing. I wish the people at home could have seen the traffic that moved over that road that night. One has no idea of the amount of men, equipment, supplies, artillery, ammunition and trucks used in a big drive until he has seen a small part of it. In our truck train there were twelve hundred trucks making a train ten miles long. Part of the way there were two or three such trains running beside each other over the wide road rock that I'll bet has been a big factor in wars since the middle ages.
“ . . . Last September when we learned that we were leaving our peaceful little playhouse down in a quiet sector and going to the big show we were full of enthusiasm and said, ‘Now we'll take those Dutch devils home.’ Then they put us in the reserve on the. . . . and expected to use there but the enemy offered so low resistance there that few troops were used and they didn't have much to do. We simply bivouicated in the woods there for about a week waiting to be called up but never went.
"If ever preparation was made for anything it was made for our drive. When we went over the top three and six-inch guns were sitting hub to hub, some of them so close that you couldn't have slipped a sheet of paper between them. These were about a kilometer behind the line. A little farther back at suitable locations were plenty of nine-inch Howitzers. Our eightteen inch naval guns were mounted on flat cars on a railroad about two or three kilo's behind the line and car loads of ammunition were run right up along side of the guns. When these guns opened up it was like a monstrous earthquake. One doesn't know the value of this support until be gets about ten miles ahead of his own artillery and so close to the German artillery that 't is shooting point blank at him.
"It was 5:30 in the morning and the darkness was just commencing to fade away so that we could recognize the heavy gray fog hovering close to the earth when we climbed out of the trench. We formed our line there and waited few minutes while a few of our men cut paths through our own wire. We had sometimes talked about how we would feel when we went over the top the first time and I had read sentimental articles on how a man feels at such a time but none of them fit the case. As near as one could tell every man a man was the same thing. They were drinking in the wonderful big excitement that was taking place. I felt just like I did a long time ago when I was just outside the entrance of my first circus.
"That was the beginning. After that enuf happened to write a library about. Sometimes we advanced as if we were on a lark. Other times we 'ducked' from shell-hole to shell-hole or wished a shell hole was there, as we advanced on machine guns. Then at times the enemy artillery opened up and caused us to dig as we never dug before.
Club Night
"But we gave the Boche a good start towards the Fatherland and if reports are true we won quite a reputation for ourselves."
Lord Charmwood, who lectured at the University this afternoon, is the guest of the University Club. He wil talk tonight before the members at the regular Club Night.
"People have tried to tell me what a man thinks about when he gets in a tight place. I'll tell you what he thinks about. It isn't past or future or folks at home, but it's himself and right now. Fellows were saying, This job hadn't fair interaction. If one had to dig with, instead of a mess kit to dig with," and all that time old mess kit was throwing up more dirt than a steam shovel.
Freshman Caps to Arrive With First Green Grass
Upperclassmen have said that they will make strenuous efforts to revive the old tradition of freshman caps. All erring freshmen will be severely reprimanded if not punished. Although, the Senate, last year, passed a ruling against paddling, upperclassmen say they will think of some way to remind the freshmen of their short comings.
The Red Virgils, an organization for the purpose of enforcing the wearing of the freshman cap, will be active again this year. No one but the unfortunate freshman knows who these mysterious visitors are; what they do nor where they go.
Plain Tales From the Hill
One optimistic child has expresses the opinion that it is not so bad to be the "goat" always after all. Because, he reasons, there must be a "goat" in everything so that by being "it" one is not left out.
One could tell this morning whether a Company H man slept upstairs or downstairs by the condition of his shoes. The men in the loft of Barn 8 were marched up and down hill this morning and then through the mud, as a penalty for raising Ned after taps, while those who live on the ground floor were quiet and consequently have reasonably clean shoes.
"Who are those keen girls over there?" was the query heard at the Library desk the other night.
"Their name is Blank." was the reply. "They are sisters." was the reply.
It is reported that one of the S. A.
T, C. sergents called him folks by long distance recently and told them
this:
"Ih, I've been promoted; I'm officer of the day every fourth day now."
"No, only one of them."
The mud changes things. Yea,
verily.
Even the S. A. T. C. companies which usually march down the middle of streets and roads have been permitted to forsake the dirt and mud and use the sidewalks. Thursday several companies were privileged to march boldly down the sidewalk to a lecture in Fraser Chapel.
Now will some faculty member of the English department kindly rise and—no, on second thought, he may remain seated if that will make it any easier for him—but kindly rising or sitting, will he kindly give us a dissertation on the poetic symbolism of, "Good morning, Mr.Zip Zip, etc."
Y.M. Agency Has Jobs
For More than 100 Men
The Y. M. C. A. employment agency is placing men on good paying positions at the rate of eight or ten a day and they will be able to use one hundred more. Men wanting to stay over the holidays may get good employment at two dollars a day. There is need of a competent photographer at once and there are several requests for corn huskers and nursery men. These oitions afford S.A.T.C.'s an opportunity to stay in school but are not money request offices. There probably be more requests for men at the beginning of the second term. There are plenty of positions open to women and Miss Duffield asks that all women wanting them report to her at once. At the beginning of the new term there will be opportunities to work for room rent and board.

Irish Question Is One For Irish To Settle, Says Lord Charnwood
Some Plan of Government Needed That Will Be Just to Minority
Irish Have Enjoyed War
English Peer Addresses University Audience on League of Nations
Lord Charnwood, who has been personally interested in home rule for Ireland, a man who is in a position to know of the relation between England and her colonies, today gave the Kansan his opinion of home rule for Ireland.
"As a life-long home-ruler," he said, "I am convinced that the settlement of the Irish question now depends upon the Irish people themself. Upon a scheme which can justly be imposed upon the minority in Ireland.
"The attitude of the Irish during the war has created a real obstacle to Home Rule. It should be remembered that Ireland has made great strides in prosperity in that there is no longer any passion to be removed, and far from being oppressed, the Irish people are the only people in Europe who have had a good time during the War."
"Self government for Ireland is most desirable, but unless a scheme for it is derived which would be just to the universities, it would mean instant war and ruin in Ireland," Lord Charnwood continued.
Lord Charnwood is chairman of the subcommittee on relations with America of the British Committee for Prosecution and Other Missions to the Allies and Friendly Countries.
The pleasing English manner of speaking has not been lost by Lord Charnwood. His conversation is more fluent, and much of brouge with which he speaks.
The rain apparently has no effect upon the good humor of Lord Charnwood. "Why this is nice," he said. "This is real English weather. This is the kind of weather we should expect this time of the year."
Lord Charnwood was scheduled to speak on the "League of the Nations proposal as it affects the British Empire" today at 4:30 p. m., in Fraser Chapel. This is his first visit to the University of Kansas.
Dramatic Club Plays For Benefit of S.A.T.C.
The Dramatic Club presented a farce, "A Little Mistake," and "A Proposals Under 'Difficulties,' by John Kendrick Bangs last night in Fraser Hall.
These plays were presented under the auspices of the entertainment company, S. A. T. C. and were most enthusiastically received by the capacity audience.
The cast presenting "A Little Mistake" was tried out for Dramatic club membership in the rehearsal in the afternoon and all were success- 31.
They were: Jessie Martindale, Lucey Cleveland, Marguerite Adams, Armenia Rumberger, Margaret Watson and George Dyche.
The other skit "A Proposal Under Difficulties," was presented by the following Nadine Bairr, H俊 Al-Neal Carman and Florence Ingram.
A complete stage setting was used for the first time in Fraser with spot lights, footlights and all the accessories of a complete stage.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news for them, rather than mounting the University holds to play no role in be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
--plans for the Corps, the University's governing body does not wish to decide either way. The Senate has adopted a "watchful waiting" policy, but if this is prolonged until January 1, the University is likely to be left outside the group of schools which adopt the plan.
THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN!
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1918.
THE PRE AT IT AGAIN.
It is no longer considered good form for the minions of a political boss to escort the voters to the polls and give them a drink afterwards. It is really not correct for electioneering to go on down the street from the polling place.
Certain young men on the Hill seem to be about twenty years behind the times on this point of etiquette. Not only do they electioneer fantically. They appropriate the ballots of students new to the University who think they are surrendering a mere scrap of paper.
The would-be "practical" politician mentioned in Thursday's news, is admittedly guilty of obtaining under false pretenes the Beauty Contest Ballots of first year S. A. T. C. men. The Jayhawker Board demanded the return of the votes, which he had not yet cast for his favorite contestant. Under this pressure he handed over the receipt-ballot. Then he came to the office of the Daily Kansan and begged the force to kill the story of the attempted graft, alleging that men who don't know any better than to surrender their suffrage privileges to more sophisticated men deserve what they get.
Such rank injustice toward democracy and fair dealing will not be permitted by the other students of the University. The Jayhawker Board in this particular instance is guarding against further crookedness.
America is progressing beyond the point of election frauds and bribery, and the University political situation is not going to be behind the times. The few grafters on the Hill will be summarily dealt with by student opinion and student action. They may as well retire from the ring, for they are antiques that belong on the shelf.
"it rainen alike upon the just and the unjust," says the Scripture, but surely it rainnet more upon the just, for the unjust have stolen the umbrellas of the just.
R. O. T. C. IS HELD UP
The majority of the men students of the University have signified their approval of the adoption of an R. O. T. C. here. The Senate, by referring the matter to a committee for investigation, has shown that it wishes to know more about the plan before adopting it, without indicating any prejudice either favorable or unfavorable.
Both students and Senate are anxious for a decision, but until the War Department announces in full the
The War Department has sent word that the University has only until January 1 in which to make a decision, but it has not sent the desired information, Chancellor Strong, announced at Wednesday night's Senate meeting.
The men students, those whom the innovation will affect, have made their decision, but the Senate waits for facts. Unless the War Department acts immediately and makes these facts public, K. U. may not become an R. O. T. C. school.
K. U. is mighty glad to see a nurse's training course placed in the University. Maybe drafting won't be necessary should the flu visit us next quarter.
WRITE TO THE BOYS
The Yanks in France want more mail. Although the war has closed our K.U. men still hanker for a good old neway letter from the man back at the University of Kansas. Why not write them about the boxing stunts to be pulled off? Tell them about the A.A.U. race at Kansas City in which we have representatives. Write the follow over there about the emobilizing of the S. A. T. C.
Apparently K. U. women do not realize that good looking Red Cross nurses are sharing their home letters with K. U. men simply because the women here haven't written.
Don't you suppose a note sent immediately after a good rally would arry to them just the spirit and freedom you possess? Start paying your lebt to the boys. Send them a big 'at message, one that fills them withONG for dear old Mount Oread.
Lieutenant Seymour de Riec lectured this week on the scenic beauties of France. When the boys all get back, we will probably hear more about the entomology specimens, and the various kinds of mud which may interest geologists because of its adhesive qualities, than about the beauties of the hills and landscapes.
WE ALL DO THIS
When you go up-stairs, in Fraser Hall, for instance, you meet several persons coming leisurely down. As you ascend, you are holding to the banister. What happens? Nothing in particular, except that there is a near collision, and two persons narrowly escape a dangerous fall. It is a rule that when two vehicles pass each other, each should keep to its right. As long as elevators are impossible, the "keep-the-right-side-of the road" rule would work out successfully if applied by students or the campus.
Campus Opinion
Campus Opinion This Column is Open to all Students of the University
To The Kansan:
University women do not relish profanity under their windows at all times of the night. Wednesday night after a few minutes of sleep, I was rudely awakened by the tramp of an S. A. T. C. company, doing double time up and down Twelfth Street hill. At Twelfth and Ohio the lieutenant in command halted the company, yelling at the men as if they were a pack of dogs, and informing them that they would either obey orders or commit years of treason. Then with a rush of profanity that would do justice to any Bowyer tough, he screamed, "Forward march."
Sermonettes
When do the officers think the students may sleep if we are to be disturbed thus at 11 o'clock at night? If they must give vent to their enthusiasm in such a manner, can't they do it on McCook Field and not awaken the people who are trying to get the most from their time spent in K. U.
The Germans may continue their appeals for justice until they get it. And that will be a sorry day for Germany—Kansas City Star.
Signed, Student.

A friend loveth at all times and a brother is born for adversity. Proverb 17:17.
One of the most marked of the many tests of character is the way in which we, as college men and women, choose our friends.
Emerson has said, "The only way to have a friend is to be one."
In selecting our friends we should choose men and women who are loyal and true and who are willing to help us play the game of life fairly and squirrelly. Just how can we make these friends? We are going to do so by being cheerful, kind and thoughtful.

Postmaster General Burleson, in his annual report, urges that the government retain control of the telegraph and telephone lines and that the service be furnished to the public at actual cost. It may be noted in this connection that there was no claim made by anybody that the wire service was being conducted at a loss at time the government took it over. Yet about the first thing Mr. Burleson did after obtaining control to advance the charges. In this connection also, it may be asked why if telegraph and telephone service should be furnished at cost, it is considered by the postmaster general proper to make a huge revenue producer of the postal service. The postal service touches the people more intimately than does the wire service and it was never contemplated by the government that it should be made to pay a profit. Yet Mr. Burleson has added to the cost in every way that he could until he is able to announce a surplus running into the millions. The public may confidently look forward to paying higher rates as long as Mr. Burleson remains in control of the wires, to say nothing of poorer service—Topoeka State Journal.

GIFTS FOR DAD AND MOTHER
When you select a nice gift for Mother why not slip in something else, which, while it does not cost much is 'useful, and will save Mother time and worry some time'. At the ten-cent store you can find brass and nickel plates in tubes for $5.60. For mother mourned in tubes for $4.90, mourn there is a tube of china cement with a forty-horsepower stick'em.
GIFTS FOR DAD AND MOTHEI
Every man is a hero-worshipper. If he hasn't had the chance to be a hero himself, he has the hero instincts and he likes to pay tribute to the men who have done something big. A large-sized picture of General Pershing, showing him in the foreground of a battle-field, with shapnel bursting all around, dying from the impact of the American flag in the background will make Dad's blood tingle with pride in his sons and borthers who are coming home victorious. The picture is almost three feet high an eye in excellent imitation oil painting. It sells for $1.50 at the University Book Store.
That south window at home which Mother keeps full of potted plants. Does the sun shine in on tin cans covered with crepe paper or some other attempt to disguise the unlovely flower-pots? Wouldn't Mother's heart burst with pride over a pot-port of Donna's crockery with alphabets? Or a wall-vase of the same material. There is a big assortment of these at Wolf's Book Store. The prices range from 65 cents to $1.50.
Calendars. What a prosac and colorless name to apply to the lovely and useful gifts they are now manufacturing under that title. Everything under the sun is contained in some of these calendars. There is a pretty picture on the outside, and inside are the days coupled with household hints which teaches Mother to take out grease spots, or keep the cake moist. Some calendars have recipes appropriate to the month in which they are printed, or hints which help Mother to plan the meals. All these calendars are priced at 50 cents at Wolf's Book Store.
Fathers have a way of thinking over the matters of the day after they are supposed to be sound asleep. Sometimes if they knew what time it is when they finally go to sleep they would leave the thinking and puzzling until the next day. Landers sell a small ivory clock with illuminated hands and dial which will stand erect on Dad's dresser and remind him that it is time to go to sleep. This little monitor sells for only $3.00
Christmas things for Dad are mighty hard to find. One is always tempted to go into a toygery store the first thing and grab a tie or a muffler or a pair of bed-room slippers. Year after year Dad accepts these things gratefully (mournfully too, we suspect). This year let's surprise him. The mother asks her asking for a beautiful line of book-ends. They come in solid manhole and sell for $5 and $6, or in hammered brass for about the same price.
If Dad does a lot of driving in the winter he wants nice warm gloves. Fur-lined gray suede gloves cost $6 at Peckham. Another thing he might appreciate in these days of useful Christmas gifts is a knit vest. They are new and attractive and flu proof. The price is $5.
If you had just lots and lots of money you could buy an exquisitely beaded hand-bag for Mother, which Innes' have on display. The price is prohibitive $33—but it might remind you that other bags just as useful and just as pretty, in a less expensive way, may be bought at the same store. The latest thing now is to buy the Innes bag. You can buy it. The body of the bag can be made of any material desired and can be made up and attached by mother herself. Bag-tops are priced at $1 and $1.69 at the Innes Dry Goods Store.

Sailors Ordered Here For Training Examined For Release From Duty
Arrived
Service Records for Great Lakes Men Have Not Yet Answered
The men who enrolled in the Naval Reserve Force at the Great Lakes or other recruiting stations, and were ordered here for training are being examined in Barracks 4 today for their releases from active to inactive duty. The service records of the men have not arrived but the men will be exchanged to the Great Lakes, since the sailors must be out of here by December 21. The men who are to be examined are not attending classes today.
The sailors examined will be released if in good physical condition when their pay and papers arrive. The papers and pay are expected at any time but information about clothing and subsistence money for the month of October is not available.
The commanding officer, Ensign Finnegan is trying to get the men their clothing issue or the equivalent in cash. Some of the clothing worn by the jacks is in poor condition and as they have received no pay they are unable to purchase the necessary garments. Lieutenant Cope and two apprentice hospital men have charge of the examinations.
The men who have diseases or are
in poor physical condition will probably be ordered to the Great Lakes until their condition is as good as when they entered the naval service.

Silver Bars Are Awarded To William W. Peterson
Lieut. William W. Peterson, who has been in command of Company F since the organization of the S. A. T. C, this fall, has been promoted to a First Lieutenant and has appeared with silver bars. The commission has received from September 1918, but confirmation of the appointment reached here only a few days ago.

After the S. T. T. C. is demobilized, Lieutenant Peterson expects to return to school, probably at the University of Iowa, where he will be a junior.

Kansas Men on Front Lines When Armistice Papers Were Signed
Lawrence Hughes, c'20, Write of Celebration When Hostilities Ceased
Credit Given to Infantry
Message to Stop Fighting Gets to Front but Short Time Be- fore Appointed Moment
When the armistice was signed, K. U. men were knee deep in mud, pursuing fleeing Germans who were rapidly vanishing in the direction of Berlin, according to a letter received today from Lawrence D. Hughes, of the Thirty-fifth Division. He served in the college at the time he enlisted for service, April 11, 1917. His letter follows:
"Well, it is over, over here. We finished it up yesterday, and maybe you think we are not a happy bunch.
"Did you note the curious part of the end? Hostilities ceased on the eleventh month, eleventh day and eleventh hour.
"I imagine the states went wild about 6 o'clock, yesterday morning. You should have seen the celebration we had last night. The whole sky was lighted up over the front as far as we could see. Red, white, blue, and green rockets, stars, and all of them were sent up, making it a scene much bigger and more beautiful than any Fourth of July celebration you ever saw.
"Ooen thing that I have to be proud of was that I was on the front in the fight to the finish. When I say "on the front," I mean right on the front, for this was a case of the artillery being in front of the infantry. We think there are no soldiers in the world as good as our division of doughbags. Kansas and Missouri can sure do, prow of them. Of course, don't think there is any better regiment of artillery than ours, for it is a crack one, but we realize that to the infantry belongs the honor and glory.
"Yesterday morning, I was standing around in a field where headquarters was established, about frozen in the mud. About 9:15 the major was called over the phone when the message to cease hostilities was received. As we listened to the major repeat it, our hearts went right up in our mouths and on every face was a big and happy smile. One hour and forty-five minutes after that the noise had stopped and it was hard to believe that there was once more peace in this shell-torn country.
"I know there were many happy mothers in America, and I am mighty glad, especially for their sakes, that it is over."

Army hospitals in this country also many nurses too and will continue to did so for some of Of course, workers not be ready to go into work at once but nurses from hospitals may be released and hospital work in part carried on by the students.
The scientific part of nurses training is becoming constantly of more importance and college women with higher education will be greatly needed, it is pointed out.

MISREPRESENTING A BEE
English officers and men still experience difficulty with the language at the front. Recently an officer, seeing a swarm of bees settled near his billlet, rushed to adjacent cottages to inform the residents. But explain verbally he could not. So, taking paper and pencil, he drew a rough sketch of a hive, then wangged his fingers in which he thought the correct wing-like way. it was a failure, so he sketched a number of bees, and buzzed a beesome buzz. Thereupon the cottagers, together with one consent bolted to their dugouts, believing that he meant hostile aircraft overhead—London Daily Chronicle.

Delay of Class Voting Declared Not Result Of Masculine Politics
Revival of Student Interest is Expected After Opening of New Quarter
The men on the Hill deny that they are trying to play politics, by delaying the senior election until after the Christmas holidays. The election was set for next week, but the announcement was made a few days earlier. In fact, no one knew of the lack of class spirit, and the fact that only one ticket was up.
The ticket contained three women: Louise Nixon, president; Esther Moore, secretary; and Margaree Young, treasurer. Only one man, Tracy Conklin, was running, and he for the vice-presidency. The foot that the men have in previous years held the majority of offices, and always the presidency, combined with the fact that only one man was up this year and not for presidency, at that, made the election postponement take on a political tide. Herschel Washington, president of the Men's Student Council, has just returned to the University from training camp, and he denies any knowledge of Hill-politics whatsoever.
"It is a matter of the lack of class spirit," said Mr. Washington. "The very fact that neither the junior, sophomore, nor freshmen class have even put up a single ticket, is proof enough of the fact, it seems to me. As soon as we can get some class pep aroused, everyone will take more interest in the election, and it will swing with a little spirit, at least." I talked to the women who were running on the present ticket, and Miss Corbin, and to the representative men on the campus, and they all agree that it would be better to wait until another ticket was up, and the other classes had up their tickets, and swalling all four class elections at the same time," was the explanation George DeVoe offered when asked his reason for the delay. Mr. DeVoe has been acting president of the Merit Association of Mr. Washington. "There was no intention of making anyone peeved at all," he said, " or we would have gone ahead with it."
The election is now set for the second week in January, and Mr. DeVoe hopes that by that time four class tickets will be ready, and all elections can be held the same day.

S.A.T.C. Will Be Paid As Soon As Companies Sign Discharge Papers
Companies A and B Will Be Out of the Service Wednesday
Finish Demobilization 20th
No Insurance Payments to Be Deducted From Pay This Month
S. A, T. C. pay, to the amount of $39,839.28, arrived today from the War Department, and will be given to members of the student army as they receive their discharges this week. The money will be given out by Lieutenant F. Normile, camp quartermaster, in Robinson Gymnasium. Men of each company will receive their pay on the particular day that company is completely demobilized.
Men in companies A and B of the collegiate section will be finally discharged Wednesday, December 18, companies C and E will get out December 19, and companies F, G, and H, will complete the disorganization of the S. A. T. C. on Friday, December 20.
The only members of the S. A. T. C. who will receive transportation home are the men of the vocational unit, Section B. Upon showing the station agents their honorable discharges, they will get tickets to the places from which they were inducted. The government pays the railroads a two-thirds rate for their transportation.
Section B men will get their pay Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium, and will be sent out of Lawrence as seen as the dean tomorrow morning. Most of the men plan to leave Lawrence tomorrow.
Dean Sayre Notified of Election
The monthly payment on the soldier's insurance policies will not be deducted from their pay check received at the time of demobilization. Insurance premiums on the soldier's policies are due on the 31 of each month. The men will be given an opportunity to pay these premiums personally, and will be given thirty days of grace in making the payments. If they prefer, of course, they can let the policies drop.

S. A. T. C. Rest Haven to Be Retained Until Demobilizing Ends
Mrs. Wilmot Volunteers For Hostess House Job
"The need for the Hostess House was never greater than now when the men have more time to spend away from the barracks," said Mrs. Belle Wilmot, the hostess. "For this reason I have offered to act as the hostess without any salary, until the men are discharged."
The Hostess House will be open until all the men in the S. A. T. C. are discharged was a final and official decree to the future of the Hostess House.
The War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A., which is in charge of all hostess houses, was notified as soon as the order for demobilizing the S. A. T. C. was received. The National War Work Council then asked to have the Hostest House closed as soon as possible to cut down expenses. Sunday was the day set for closing, and had Mrs. Wilmot not offered her services, the Hostest House would have closed Sunday, in all probability.
"I wish I might in some way express my appreciation of the courtesy and

Will Give Examinations
At Regular Class Hours
No regular examination schedule has been issued this year, as was the custom in former years when the University operated under the semester, instead of the quarter system. The matter of final examinations for this quarter's work has been left entirely with the individual instructors, it was announced at Dean Patterson's office this morning.
Because so much time has been lost from the influenza epidemic, some instructors on the Hill have eliminated the final examination altogether. Others will give hour quizzes the last time the classes meet, which will take the place of the usual final. No days are missed; students will simply be given on Thursday and Friday of this week at the regular meetings of the various classes.
League of Big Nations Necessary Outgrowth Of War, Asserts Peer
Unity of British Empire Examples of Such League, Says Lord Charwood
"The work which nations performed together so nobly in the war just won is not entirely finished," said Lord Charnwood in his speech before a University audience in Fraser Hall Friday afternoon on the subject, "League of Nations and its Effect Upon the British Empire."
"The larger nations should not forget the smaller countries like Belgium, Serbia, and France, who fought so nobly for the cause of democracy."
"The league of nations should be formed," he said, "by those nations which have done so much and worked together so harmoniously to defeat the dreaded Hun, and we must have cooperation in the peace conference and after the conference as we have had during the war. The conference should take up those questions that deal with the freedom of the seas and the commercial interests of neutral nations in time of war. No one knows Germany and the German government, and we must scrutinize every proposal and statement they make before we accept it."
The United Kingdom of Great Britain is really a league of nations, Lord Charnwood said. The colonies under Great Britain have freedom and could break loose if they wished, he explained, but they remain with the parent country because of the protection it affords. This is the reason the league would please would give the weaker unions, the peer would
"The past wars between the French and English are forgotten now," the speaker said. "They were gentlemanly minds and are considered as conflicts between two good sports now in the German war machine has been seen."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 16, 1918.
Lord Charnwood suggested that the British navy will not be weakened until greater security for rights of nations on the seas is brought about. He showed that the British Navy bottled the French fleet and deprived German ports, all fitted that the United States would receive fairness from Great Britain.
Lord Charnwood speaks as a member of the British Committee for promoting an Intellectual Entente among the Allies and friendly countries. He is chairman of the subcommittee on relations with America.

Faculty Members Plan To Start Department Of Russian Next Year
New Interest in Russia Makes It Necessary to Know Language
A course in Russian will be introduced into the University next year, if the advice of many faculty members is taken. Dean D. L. Patterson, Prof. A J. Boynton, Prof. W. M. Duffus, Prof. E. H. Hollandes and Chancellor E. kung Strong are in favor of starting the new department.
Chancellor Strong has wished to establish Russian for many years, but he forefore lack of funds has prevented it. The present interest in Russia would make the course of sufficient value to warrant its being put in now, according to Chancellor Strong. The University of Michigan, Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Chicago, have already installed courses in Russian, and Cornell has an informal course not included in the catalog.
"The question offering Russian will come up before the faculty sometime before next year's catalog is made," and Dean Patterson. "I have always been for it, and feel that it would be good to come next year than at any time in the past."
Professor Hollands cited the case of Willard Straight, late consul-general, who became interested in China through a course taken at Cornell, where he received the degree of Bachelor's in Psychology, but had best of similar value in a single instance in the University, the course should be offered," said Professor Hollands.
Professor Duffus said Russian is important from the point of view of language and literature, as well as being valuable to men intending to enter trade and finance in Russia, and should be put in on both accounts.
"aussia is the greatest field world," said Prif. A. J. Bo. "The commercial and banking cunities now opening up over there will demand a knowledge of the language. I'm for it."
Dean F. W. Blackmar, however, is "opposed to wasting University time on Russian, when there are so many relatively more important things to be taught." He compared Russian with Japanese in importance, and expressed the opinion that students who would take the course here, would have to learn the language when they reached Russia.
Another K. U. Chemist Wins Bars of Captain
The course in accounting which will be given by the department of economics next semester will be open o sophomores as well as to juniors and seniors.
Paul R. Parmellee, B. S. '09, has been promoted to the rank of captain in the chemical welfare service in France. While in the university he was custodian in the department of chemistry. After obtaining his degree he was awarded an industrial fellowship in the Mellon Institute. After finishing his work at Mellon Institute, Mr. Parmellee was superintendent of the soap works of a large Chicago packing house until he entered the chemical warfare service.
Council of Defense Plans to Locate Men Returned From France
War Board Decides to Continue Service Along Industrial
Lines
Chancellor Frank Strong, appointed a member of the reorganization committee of the state council of defense, by Dr. H. J. Waters, president of the state council, at a special meeting at Topeka, Saturday, will assist in formulating plans for providing work for men returning to Kansas from overseeing the Council has decided to continue its service to the state indefinitely.
Plans for agricultural production and for the readjustment of the state's industrial activities were laid before the council by Governor Arthur Capper, who urged the council to follow the program of colonization outlawed; it would send thousands of returned soldiers to the farms in the state.
"We have the lands and large farms which may be divided, sufficient to accommodate thousands of our soliters and those of other states, as well," said Governor Capper. These plans, however, would depend on federal aid, not state funds. The Governor's suggestions were indented by many members of the state council.
There is plenty of work in view, according to President Waters, who pointed out that there are 200,000,000 bushels of wheat in storage, owned by the government, much of which is in Kansas.
"Keep the mills running" said Doeer or Walters. "This alone would give us a chance."
Other questions that will be considered by the council are the development of lands in western Kansas by irrigation, road building, and other state projects. The reorganization committee will develop these ideas.
The committee is composed of Dr. Henry J. Waters, chairman, Kansas City, Kan; Chancellor Frank Strong, Lawrence; J. N.Doley, Topeka; Henry Lassen, Wichita; W. M. Amos, Topeka; Mrs. D. W. Mulvane, E. E. Fritzel, Larned; William M. Marine, president of the State Agricultural college, Manhattan; B. Needham, Lane; J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture Toneka.

Plain Tales From the Hill
How inconsistent the fact is that the University has no drinking water for its students and faculty members, so the water laboratory is situated here.
A man prominent on the Hill last year, who recently has come back from the service, was remarking on his experiences of strange faces at the University.
"Why," he said, "I went down in the barracks and looked around and they paid practically no attention to me. And all they said when I came in was 'Watch your overcoats.'
The men of Company G. were honored Saturday by going a long step toward getting discharges. At least the credulous ones thought so. Some jesters in the office issued to each man a sheet of paper with the following written on it: "This is good for one discharge."
No, Oswald, girls don't have to wait for the tide to come in to get a water wave in their hair.

This fact is proved in an incident which occurred during the recent visit of the fraternity jeweler at one of the women's fraternity houses. One girl ordered a jeweled pin without a guard. One of her sisters summed up her un-heard-of action in these words, "Oh, I see you are anticipating another kind of a guard."
Clyde Culter, who was graduated from the School of Medicine of the University last year, died in Kansas City (Sunday, of pneumonia contracted while treating influenza patients). Since his graduation, Mr. Culter had been head house doctor at the Christian Hospital in Kansas City. He was a member of Pbi Beta Pi, honorary medical fraternity. His home was in Emporia, where his father is a member of the State Normal faculty.

University Companies Began Red Cross Drive With Military Parade
Subscriptions Are Being Given Generously, Says Professor Mitchell
To Publish List Tuesday
Red Cross Aids National Tuberculosis Association in Holiday Campaign
About one thousand S.A.T.C. men started the Red Cross drive off this morning, when they marched in the parade down town at 9 o'clock. Companies A and B of Section B, and all Section A men who did not have classes, made up the representation from the University.
"K.U.'s attitude toward the Christmas Red Cross drive is splendid," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the University Red Cross committee, this morning. "The booths in Administration Building and in Fraser Hall are being well patronized, and our only trouble is that the

professors are trying to subscribe at the booths, instead of giving their contribution to the special committee members in their own buildings.
"We do not have sufficient buttons on hand now," continued Professor Mitchell, "to give each member one, but the Lawrence chairman has wired for more, and they will probably be able to buy all of us, all persons who have given their dollars by 5 o'clock today will be published in the Kansan Tuesday."
The American Red Cross and the Tuberculosis Association have cooperated this season, and are conducting their Christmas campaigns together. Every person who gives his dollar for membership in the Red Cross will receive ten Christmas seals, the proceeds of which, at the rate of one cent each, go to the National Tuberculosis Association. By this system, it will not be necessary to rely on the two different organizations, as they did last year at the Christmas season. The American Red Cross has appropriated 2,500,000 for this year's anti-tuberculosis campaign, and plans to raise this amount by using ten per cent of the amount subscribed to its own Christmas membership drive.

REMEMBER RED CROSS
MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1918.
This week, when you start up town full of enthusiasm for buying Christmas presents, remember that the Red Cross drive to renew its annual membership is to be held next week, and leave a dollar at home so that you won't be "financially embarrassed" when called on.
The Red Cross still needs funds badly to continue the work among the French refugees and the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who are still in France. Students have had a good many demands made on their pocketbooks lately, and for that reason every person will be asked to contribute just one dollar to renew his membership.
Let us not go on the false idea that the war is over and we can afford to be extravagant. Red Cross subscriptions are as imperative now as they ever were. Can't we afford to cut out some of these useless presents this year to keep up our membership in an organization that stands for as much as the American Red Cross does?

THE WATER SITUATION
While even the managers of the Lawrence water plant have admitted that the city water supply is not pure enough for, drinking purposes, the only thing provided so far this year for students and faculty to drink is water from the city mains.
The man or woman who works on the Hill nearly all day faces the alternative of drinking the "aquarium" that comes out of the fountains in the halls, or of trying to work with a painful thirst distracting his attention and injuring his health.
The University Health Department has repeatedly condemned Lawrence water, but the Senate has failed to act upon their advice. The excuse given is that the city water company has promised to start the New Year right with better water, and that students' waste of water makes the project too expensive.
Never before, however, has the University believed the promise and waited for the downtown water supply to improve. Never before has it been too expensive to give the students absolutely pure water on the Hill. This year the Senate has been grossly negligent.
THUH UNIFORM—
Sure, the boys should be given their uniforms! Even the sailors who have sailed merely on Mount Oread should not have to surrender those trousers which go up side down or those "round top" caps that are down side up.
In thirty or forty years it will be interesting to see them march about in these togs on Memorial Day. With those clothes on, they will make us all sniffle when we think how they fought the war on the campus and environs.

Some of the S. A. T. C. fellows say, "I'm going to leave this place just as soon as I get my discharge. Sure, I'm going on to school. But there are other schools, and a fellow doesn't get treated there like he does here."
The man who says that is usually here for the first time, and fails to realize that while he has been living at the barracks it has been impossible for him to get more than a glimpse of the true University life. The military life here has been more than that of an army cantonment than life in many other S. A. T. C. camps for other schools have housed their men in fraternity houses while they here all lived in barracks, and this fact has prevented the men from entering into college life even as much as the men at other schools.
The facilities for study here have been very poor and the men have suffered needlessly on this account. By building the barracks after the Camp Funston style, no places for study tables were left, and the men were compelled to study on their bunks, while those at other schools had tables in their rooms. For this reason, no fault of the University, the men here have been inconvenienced until some are planning to leave the University on this account.

Campus Opinion
To The Kansan:
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
Are the college students here receiving everything they should from an educational body such as the University of Kansas? It is true they are receiving book learning and physical and moral training.
The big question is, "are students preparing themselves for their future
Many men and women who are attending the University this year apparently do not have a definite aim or goal in mind. Why does this condition exist? Is it due to the fact that many of our students do not understand their courses? Do they lack self initiative? Is there a method by which this deficiency may be corrected?
Could not a board, composed of men and women who fully understand the various advantages to be gained by specializing in this or that vacation, be organized, and appointments for private consultation granted?
Would the formation of a board of advisors to assist students in choosing courses be a good idea?
Is not the time for the organization of such a body at hand? The University Senate would be taking a great forward step in organizing such a board for the assistance of students in choosing their work the second term.

Dear Old Pal:
Everybody at K. U. is looking forward to school after vacation and telling the freshmen that they will see what real University life is when second quarter begins after the holidays. Everything has been so mixed up this fall that the upperclassman hardly recognize the old place.
But all the S. A. T. C. will be demobilized by December 21 and maybe the "flu" will be over by then too; it certainly can't last much longer. Capt. B. T. Scher, who has been commanding officer to the S. A. T. C., will leave for his home in the East soon and the reign of the military at K. U. will be only a memory. This does not mean that we don't like Captain Scher all right but army life and student life don't mix. Tubby, that's all.
All the class elections, athletics, and the Jayhawker Beauty contest, which, by the way, is to be called "Mistletoe Beauties" this year, have been put off until after Christmas. The men are more interested in getting releases from the army and navy now than they are in picking out the prettiest girls. That is, most of them are. Our latest scandal involves one of our frisky surgeants who was so zealous in the cause of "the Favored one" that he collected a lot of votes from unsuspecting men who were ignorant of the rules of the game and turned them in for the candidate he is upholding. The votes were caught in time, though, and put where they belonged. We who have watched the progress of other so-called "Beauty contests" are not surprised at anything, are we, Tubby?
Basketball practice will begin in earnest second quarter. Some fine material for the five has been found, mostly in the naval section of the S. Navy, where the club and "dutch" Lonburg of well-known fans will be back next quarter.
Lawson May, who has been in training at Camp Hancock, Ga., Marvin Harms, who has been at Officers' Training School at Camp Pike, and Herschel Washington, who has also been in the service and is president of the Men's Student Council, visited us this week. They will all be in school next term. The girls are afraid that their little triumph will end when all these old guns are brought forward again.
A series of entertainments have been put on the past week for the S. A. T. C. and these will continue until vacation. The idea it to interest the men is that they will want to re-examine next quarter and get a taste of real University life.
Administration building is almost finished and it will be ready to welcome the old K. U. men when they come back. So will all of us students and the teacher. We will pitch his ears and act less bored when you and the rest return.
That's what we're all thinking about and talking about "When the Boys Come Home." Until then,
HARD ON THE LIEUTS.
Yours, TUBBY.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Students Favor R.O.T.C.
Being Established Here
Upperclassmen Assert
Training
Interviews With Prominent Men Speak for Modified Military
That reserve officers training camp should be established at the University apparently is the general opinion among the men students. Most of the men, especially those who have been in service, feel that the University should have some sort of military training and that the R. O. T. C. would be the best way to give military instruction without interfering with college work, if it is conducted as the plane have been announced and does not add further military duties after the work has been started. At some universities where the R. O. T. C. has been established it proved a success until the authorities began to require more military work from the men than was announced when the men took the work.
As the plan is now understood, three hours drill a week would be required; uniforms would be furnished the men and they would have no further restrictions than other students. They would receive no pay until after they had finished two years of college work, and then they would be allowed a given sum for subsistence, which would amount to perhaps $15 a month. A limited number of commissions in the Reserve Officers Corps would be given to graduates.
"College men must furnish the material for officers in the army and I see no better way of training them for this position than by establishing an R. O. T. C.," is the opinion of Fred Regly, regimental major of the S. A. T. C, and 1919 editor of the Jayhawker, "the universities must be kept on a somewhat military basis and the R. O. T. C. is probably the best form of military training that could be established in the University If the men are required to take some kind of physical exercise as well but the advantage that entailment would offer. The R. O. T. C, however, must not have the organization that the S. A. T. C has had or it, too, will be a failure. The men must not be required to live in barracks. The college spirit of the men is snuffed by barracks life."
"The men who have returned from active service realize that military training has not been carried far enough and that the universities must have some kind of military training," said Herschel Washington, president of the Men's Student Council. "I am in favor of the R. O. T. C. as long as too much time is not required for military training so that the men are detracted from their studies and college interests. The three hours drill a week would be more beneficial if given all at one time, say on Saturday morning. Then the men would have only this one time when they would think of military things. Studies and military instruction cannot be closely combined if either is to be successful."
"Military training of some kind will be established in all schools and the R. O. T. C, is the most logical form that could be established in the universities since it is college men who must furnish the officer material," is the way George DeVoe, vice-president of the Men's Student Council, expressed his view in the matter, "The modified form of training that has been suggested would be an advantageous plan for the University to accept. How many men will enlist depends entirely, of course, on how much of their time will be required for military work. I think no one would object to three hours drill a week. This should be given in three periods of an hour each because more can be gained from the same amount of drill that way than if it were given all at one time. Nothing should be asked of the men on Saturday because they want that time for work outside of school and would resent any restrictions placed upon them on any but school days. No summer work should be asked of the men either."

Hamilton Announces Football, Basket Ball, And Track Schedules
Missouri Proposes New Rule Governing Eligibility of Plavers
The Kansas football, basketball and track meet schedules for next year were announced today by Athletic Manager W. O. Hamilton, who attended the annual meeting of the coaches and athletic managers of the Missouri Valley conference at the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City Friday and Saturday. Men who failed to pass in studies was allowed of their S. and work will be allowed to compete in Valley athletics if their school committee on eligibility decides the failures were due to army work.
The Missouri University introduced a new plan which they are considering under which men who enroll December 30 will be eligible for Valley games next fall. The conference heads are opposed to the plan as such a plan would allow men to play on one conference team one year and be eligible to play with the Tigers the following season.
“Kansas will not never athletic relations with Tigers because of this ruling if it goes into effect, but Kansas will not play against men who are not Kansas players,” the new ruling” said K. W. O. Hamilton, manager of K. W. U. athletics today.
The Valley schedules are similar to the ones of last year because of the number of games which were called off and the S. A. T. C. work. The season will not go down into Valley history as a regular season.

Controversy is Raging:
How Needful the Knife?
Medic Student Defends Experi
ments as Means to Attain-
ing Knowledge
They fight like cats and dogs those "fer" and those against vivi section. Here is the latest contribution to the conflict which has been so vigorously started this season in the season. The arena for this annual struggle, and is glad to print communications like the following:
To the Kansan-We have with us again the perennial story of the barbarous medics and their Hunnish treatment of the canine species. I refer to the article that appeared in Dec. 9, over the signature, A. R. '19.
Every year, it seems, some altruistic but misguided individual happens upon this same idea—that the medics are brutally engaged in cutting up dogs and are doing it just for fun. Without waiting in line, he rushes into print with such an article as the one to which I refer.
The number of times that the subject has previously been dealt with and dismissed would lead one to suspect that the author is either a very new arrival upon our campus
or else that he is inspired by a desire to break into public notice. One might even suggest ignorance but A. R. "19 has been kind enough to anticipate that he is "neither ignorant nor chickenhearted."
the value of vivissection and its absolute indispensability in the pursuit of many lines of medical investigation, are too well known to warrant any lengthy discussion here. Defense is unnecessary. Those who are in the least familiar with the rudiments of biological science are aware of its value, and the surprising thing is that a student in our University would advance as far as his senior year and still remain so unacquainted with a bit of common knowledge.
Were it not for the several very evident misapprehensions under which he labors, one could overlook his vitriolic references to the medics, as being of a nature too juvenile for them. What more would happen, however, I submit the following-and hundreds of other pretty things.
(1) That the method of procuring animals, to which he alludes, viz. entituring them away from their owners and maliciously stealing them, is not the general practice, nor even the common practice. That it has occurred no well-informed medicine will deny, but the医术 as a class should not be made the victim of the indiscretion of an individual. The animals are regularly provided by the department in which the work is done, and they pass into the hands of the department with the full knowledge and consent of the owner, he receiving for each animal a sum agreed upon by himself and the representative of the department.
(2) That the animals are in no case subjected to surgical operations before they have been rendered insensitive to pain, either by the administration of an anaesthetic or by other appropriate means. The heart-rending picture of "innocent creatures suffering torture for hours" is (3) That overdosage of anaesthetic ed imagination.
(3) That overdoses of anasthetic are not administered wilfully, thus causing a needless sacrifice of animal life. On the contrary, it is the misfortune of the student if the animal upon which he is experimenting lies from overdose of ether, because n that case he must replace the animal out of his own too slender purse.
(4) That it is not for amusement that the animals are used in the laboratory. On this point A. R. '19 seems a bit clouched himself, for in the same sentence he designates its class routine and amusement. If anyone acquainted with the medal receives training himself that the work required is amusement, he leserves nomination to the Society f Optimists at once.
In order successfully to treat the human organism when diseased it is essential to understand its normal functioning, and since humans do not lend themselves readily to every form of investigation and experimentation, it is necessary to use animals instead. If A. E. R'90 is animated by humanitarian motives and wishes to take the place of one of the other animals, the medies will cheerfully stand ready to do their part.
Former Football Captain Becomes Army Captain
(5) That the medics are not all "bungling undergraduates." We do not yet claim to be practicing surgeons, if we were we hope we should not be here. This is a necessary stage in the progress toward that end. Others have passed this way before us and have arrived at their goal. We trust that we shall not be less fortunate. The scornful epithet-undergraduate does not signify himself A. R, '19, and he should err again, I may call his attention to the fact that many of the medies are college graduates, some of them having received their A. B. degrees the same year that he first glimpsed our beautiful campus.

THE MISSOURI MULE ABROAD
A long and patient but vain effort on the part of a khaki-clad driver to induce a mule, drawing what appeared to be a load of laundry, through the gateway of a local hospital afforded considerable amusement by the time the mule was watching the proceedings. The mule would do anything but pass through the gateway.

"No," replied the driver, "but I'd like to know how Noah got all of these blighters into the Ark!"—Tt-Bits.

University Instructors Are Studying Influenza Vaccines At Rochester
Crisis Confronting Country i Very Critical, Says Dr. S. J. Crumbine
Vaccines Will Be Tested
State Health Board Plans to Organize Mobile Nurse Reserve
Prof. N. P. Sherwood of the department of bacteriology at the University and Prof. William K. Trumble of the department of clinical bacteriology at the university hospital at Rosedale have been sent to the Mayo Foundation at Rochester, Minn., to make a critical scientific study of Vaccines, Dr. S. J. Crumbline, of the State Board of Health, dean of the School of medicine, who has just returned from the meeting of the American Public Health Association at Chicago, has sent these men to study the problem in order to help the State Health Board combat the disease in Kansas.
The Public Health Association is a national organization composed of scientists, sanitation and public health experts and bacteriologists. The influenza epidemic was practically the only question discussed, Doctor Crumbine said. As to the cause of the disease, the general opinion seems to be that it was as you unfolded when it was discovered by Dr. Pfiffer's organism, which was discovered in 1820 and which had been considered the primary cause of influenza, is now believed to be only a secondary invader, or cause of complications.
NUMBER 42.
ROSENOW'S VACCINES TESTED
ROSEWOW'S VACINES TESTED
The organism is found in acute cases of influenza, as are also pneumonia organisms and certain others. Most of the deaths result from complication of influenza from pneumonia. Prevention of pneumonia by means of certain vaccines was the method presented to the association which seemed to be most successful in decreasing the death rate.
ALL STATES TO BE SUPPLIED
Dr. C. N. Rosenow of the Mayo Foundation at Rochester, presented the most successful data on prevention of pneumonia, Doctor Crumbine said. His vaccines were tried on 22,000 persons as a preventive measure, and gave the only apparently successful results. Reports from Chicago Board of Health, which is trying out Doctor Rosenow's vaccines, seemed to prove them successful. However nothing has been definitely proved about the effectiveness of these vaccines, but the situation is so serious that something must be done at once. It is impossible to wait until they have been definitely proved.
Professor Trimbile and Professor Sherwon will study the technique of the vaccine manufacture, if their investigation shows that Doctor Rosenow's experiments are correct. Vaccines will be made at the University for free distribution to everybody in Kansas in order to prevent a recurrence of the epidemic. Approximately 5000 people have died in Kansas, as a result of influenza and complications resulting from it. Several kinds of vaccines have been made by Doctor Rosenow, since his theory is that different complications follow influenza in different localities.
A recurrence of influenza is expected by health men this winter and next winter, according to statistics on epidemics in the United States before this one, and every effort must be made to prevent it. Doctor Crumbine said.
In addition to preparing free vaccines for Kansas people the State Board of Health plans to prepare volunteer reserves of doctors and nurses to go any place in Kansas where they are needed to take care of influenza cases. Doctors and nurses have been sent to several communities this fall, but not all have been affected which can go into the communities quickly enough. Doctor Crumbine hopes to have reserves ready for work this winter.
Judge Mason Here Tonight
Judge Henry Mason of the Supreme Court of Kansas will speak at 7:40 o'clock tonight at the Congregational Church. His topic will be the Red Cross and the meeting has been designed, with Judge Mason at its head, to be a wholly general Red Cross gathering, a meeting for as much of the University and Lawrence to attend as is possible.
Influenza Scare Over,
Say Medical Authorities
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 17, 1018.
"There is only one case of influenza among the S. A. T. C. men," said Lieut. Judson Allen, today, "and the epidemic is practically stamped out." Miss Mary Haight of the University Hospital reports only three cases of influenza among the students, and says that they are convalescent. "There is no epidemic at the University now," said Miss Haight, "but I urge everyone to be careful during vacation.
Special War Courses Will Get Full Credit
Work of S. A. T. C. Men First Quarter Will Be Given Permanent Credit
In determining the credit to be given S. A, T. C. man, for collegiate work done while the S.A.T.C. was in operation, the special war courses will be placed in the groups into which they naturally fail, and will count for the same credit as any other course offered in the University.
"There is no doubt whatever that the war course will be given full credit," Mrs. C. E. Esterly, secretary to the dean, John. War French will count in the French group, map reading will be given credit in the department of geology, and War Issues and War Aims are to be placed in the history group. These courses are worth as much in counting a student's credit as any other course he might take in the University."
"A mark will be made on the caro of every man who has been a member of the S. A. T. C," said Mrs. Esterly, "to indicate that he was in that organization, and this fact will be considered in establishing his credits. An S. A. T. C. man who has done his class work and passed his courses will get as much out of this quarter as any student in the University."
Some of the special courses, such as the one in War French, will probably continue through the year. The announcement that the war courses are as valuable as any others will assure many S. A. T. C. men, who have received the impression that their college work done this quarter would not count for much, that their time has not been wasted.
Guards are Posted to Stop Blanket Thieves
Guards were posted last night in a number of barracks to prevent the theft of blankets. Several of the companies have commenced checking in their bedding and to prevent men making up any shortage, the guards were ordered to bring large updated upstairs will work in two hours of two on and four hours off, new men being put on each twenty-four hours.
Each commanding officer is responsible for the blankets issued his company at the rate of $4.50 each. Each man was issued three blankets on moving into the barracks and will be required to check them in before leaving. During the influenza epidemic when large numbers of blankers were constantly in use in the buildings, it was difficult to keep records, and it is believed that many were lost at that time.
Some very interesting experiments relative to the growth of tadpoles have recently been carried on by Miss Mary Larson, assistant instructor in Zoology. The result of these experiments have been collected in the form of a paper which will be read before the National American Association, which will meet in Baltimore, Md., during the Christmas holidays. Prof B. M. Allen of the department of zoology, who will attend this meeting will read Miss Larson's paper and also two of his own.
Instructor in Zoology Describes Experiments
No Credit for O. T. C. Men
"The S. A. T. C. men who have returned from officers' training camps will receive no credit for work done in the University this quarter," said Dean Kelly this morning. "They were in school only one week before the University closed on account of the epidemic of influenza, and during that vacation they were sent to officers' training camps. No credit can be given for this one week of class work."
Releases For Navy Arrive, And Will Be Issued December 20
Sailors Sign Pay Roll for Substistence, But Get No Cloth-
ing Yet
Releases for the 182 men of the naval section of the S. A. T. C, who took their physical examinations Wednesday, December 11, and said they will remain in school, ar' in the orderly room of the naval headquarters at present. The men probably will receive them Friday, December 20.
Those men who took their physical examinations Wednesday but who will not remain at the University probably will receive their releases at the same time. They will receive transportation to their homes. The men, who will remain in school will not receive any transportation.
All of the naval section signed the pay roll for subsistence this morning, but no information has been received as yet concerning clothes. The money will be forwarded to Lawrence immediately before they leave here, according to information received at navy headquarters.
K. U. Woman to Christen Good Ship Wyandotte
The Red Cross is Mobile.
An honor has been conferred upon the University of Kansas in the selection of Mrs. Edith Cobbison Darby wife of Capt. Harry Darby Jr., as sponsor for the ship Wyndotte. Mrs. Darby has been chosen by the women of the Fourth Liberty Loan Committee of Kansas City, Kans.
The ship which Mrs. Darby will christen is to be so-called the Wyandotte in consideration of a record made by the governor of New York its class to over subscribe its quota.

Appropriations for furnishings have not yet been granted by the state legislature and it will be completed with the second quarter before any of the newly completed parts will be occupied.
Haskell Enrollies Quarantine
Haskell Institute is under quarantine for influenza. The Y, W, girls have quite a time gaining admittance there Sunday.

Army Units Not To Go Till Discharge Papers And Pay Are Received
Demobilization of S. A. T. C. Delayed Until Chicago Approves Records
Orders that all members of the Students Army Training Corps units A and B at the University of Kansas be kept here until final pay, travel pay, and discharge certificates are received from Chicago, probably the last of this week, were received at Huntington Beach for a watch, commanding officer of the unit.
The telegram from the district quartermaster at Chicago says the check for final pay and other papers will be completed and mailed "on or before December 21". If they are not sent by December 21, the district cannot here cannot, be begin until Monday.
"We had expected to begin discharging Section B men today," said Captain Hatch, "and had authority to do so. We had authority to begin discharging the men, with the understanding that their final pay and discharge papers should be sent to them at their homes, and we had even prepared certificates that would have entered into our records but the orders today will prevent any discharge of the men until the papers return from Chicago.
"Of course, this will disappoint the student soldiers," said Captain Hatch. "but if these young men were willing to enter the army and willing to offer even their lives for their country, they should keep a little of this spirit out there in order to aid them pariary inconvenience of a few days additional wait."
"The University of Kansas unit is but one of 500 similar units in the United States, and 250 of these are to be cleared through the district quartermaster's office in Chicago. You can see the vast amount of detail the Chicago office has to attend to." "We will begin to discharge the men just as soon as the papers arrive," continued Captain Hatch, "and probably can issue all of the discharges in a day after we get started."
Dr. William H. Burdick, vice chancellor of the university recently received news of promotion of his son, Lieut. Carol Harold Burdick.
Vice-Chancellor Son Is Now Lieutenant-Colonel
Colonel Burdick was a student at the University of Kansas in 1903 and 1904. He left here to enter Annapolis from which school he was graduated. Soon after his graduation he was transferred into the regular army. He was a captain of coast artillery at San Francisco, when the war broke out. He went to France in July as a major in the field artillery, and was at the front until the armistice. Since the armistice he has been appointed to the rank of lieutenant-volunteer.

Plain Tales From the Hill
The Students' Army Training Corps, he notoriously hard-boiled, rough-ready, don't-give-snap body of strong-minded men has changed its pots. It is now clashed with the afternoon social gatherings of the elite. In a couple of came back episodes he mess hall beaten serving tea, weak and colorless tea!
The Navy is aristocratic. Everyone agrees to that. The proof is to be found in Barracks 4. In the shuffling of the cards that decided the bunking of members of the Naval Section, no less personages than Wilson and Marshall became bunkies. Next cot to his pair is one of the Smiths.
The section gloats over two more cabinet members, Gregory and another Wilson, and has an admiral's name-sake, Benson, but the inexcussive fact remains that Daniels, who ought by all right of precedent to be in the Navy, is a sergeant in an S. A. T. C. company.
Though the end of the S. A. T. C. neareth, the end of the rumors emanating from that organization is not yet. They still come fast and strong. Week-end passes will be issued next Friday as usual to one-fourth of the membership of each company.
Every one will have liberty Christmas
from 10 a.m. 2 o'clock noon, till
10:45 a.m.
"I never go to sleep in that class,' yawned the student-soldier. "I just stay aleep."
Every sergeant in the S. A. T. C. is arranged to be discharged early and will be out of town when the men redemobilized.
The Navy will be issued one uniform to use over the Christmas vacation.
"Times ain't as they once was."
This assertion has been heard so much more frequently this year than before that it may safely be called a common expression. It is most vehemently said when the subject of final examinations is under discussion. It will be said an old time, "will be a joyous exhibition after several sieges of 2 and 3-hour examinations."
The old-timer was sage and used big words. Then as he spoke of the Senate ruling of last year that senators with high grades would be excused from finals, he shook his head and departed, mumbling, "It is too much; the cogitation under notice is too vast."
It isn't the fact that the men have to stand in line for their mess. It isn't the fact that they have to wash their own dishes. Nor is it because they cannot have seconds on whiteness or show so much. The reason for the growling is not that some of the food does not suit the taste of the rookies.
The food question that worries the S. A. T. Citizens is, how many calories are there in a wienie a is mode for breakfast.
Alumni Boards to Confer In Topeka on 1919 Plans

Faculty Subscriptions For Red Cross Fund Coming In Liberally
Student Contributions Fall Short of Expectations Says Professor Mitchell
Quota on The Hill Is $600
First Days Report Shows Names of 260 Members of Organization
"Faculty subscriptions to the Christmas Red Cross drive are coming in rapidly," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, and University employees are subscribing 100 per cent but students are not contributing generously as they might, committee, today. "Faculty members and University employees are not contributing as generously as they might. This may be due to the fact that their subscriptions are being made in their home towns.
"The quota for K. U. is $600," said Professor Mitchell. "Douglas County must raise at least $12,500, and the University Quota, based on the University resident population, which includes faculty members. University employees, their families, and resident students in Lawrence, has been placed at $600 by County Chairman Holmes. There is no reason why the University should not exceed this quote by several hundred dollars."
Professor Mitchell wants to wind up the campaign on the Hill by Wednesday night, December 18, although the whole week may be used if the contributions do not come in as they did. The chairman of the Red Cross committee last night was $254 and those who subscribed are:

Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phone BELL K. U. 25 and 66.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in to go further than merely printing the news standing for it, or to play no favorizer; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to teach the students of the University.
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
We have always objected to quiz, week with its nights of wet towels and cokes and agony. We have always said, "Oh, for a simplified quiz week, with the horrors reduced just a little bit." And we have argued with the professors to give us short finals, or else to use their influence to abolish examination week altogether.
Now the time has come to prove our arguments. We have the opportunity to show once and for all that the old quiz week should be discarded in favor of short examinations in regular class hours.
The faculty will be reasonable about it. If we buck up and write actually intelligent papers in our forty-five minute quiz hours this week, the professors will see that there is reason in all we have said in other years.
--enjoy it because they can lie in bed and eat homemade cooking and loaf again. And together with the women they will live in peace because there won't be any after-holiday quizzes to bother with.
When the whistle blew for Red Cross Monday morning, betting was even that Mr. Hohenzollern had been poisoned and that the Thirty-fifth had booked for home.
The revised quiz week is on trial. It is up to us to make it a success, or else revert to the old system. Let's show 'em.
GREAT KIDS
The Lawrence lads who have been selling newspapers and vending edibles in the McCook Field barracks are ahead more than merely their share of the soldier-students' thirty a month. They've gained a wealth of experience and self-assertiveness and pep, for it takes nerve to go into the barracks with anything to sell and stand the "kidding" the men save up for all newcomers.
Most of the youthful merchants have held their own and have come out winners in nearly every wrangle. It wouldn't have paid to be scared of the "hard guys" who purchased their papers and candy.
The Kansan doesn't set itself up as an authority on how to raise children, but believes that the best sort of training a boy can have is to be thrown on his own, at least to a degree, and be compelled to make good or give in.
--enjoy it because they can lie in bed and eat homemade cooking and loaf again. And together with the women they will live in peace because there won't be any after-holiday quizzes to bother with.
Map of Europe changes, according to a newspaper report. Won't Santa Claus have a dickens of a time finding the folks?
HELLO. VACATION!
Let's make this the best Christmas vacation K. U. has ever seen. It should be, because it's so different from any other Christmas that ever happened. The late soldier boys will
It's the usual thing to fill one's suitcase half full of books and vow to spend most of the time studying for those threatening quizzes which loomed just over the horizon of the new year. The consequence was that books were left unopened, but a lot of good times were spoiled by their memory and the persistent conscience that called to duty.
But this year quizzes will be disposed of in one short hour, and the holiday season, while shortened, will be left free entirely to the Yuletide festivities. Of course, it is permissible to spend the time in worrying about next quarter's courses, but it's safe to say that's one of the things that won't be done in our set this winter!
Women who rally in front of the White House to burn the President's talks succeed only in illuminating their own vacuums.
POLITICS
Suggestions, covert and otherwise,
that the Kansan take a hand in the
political game next quarter, have
been made by persons interested in
the fate of the candidates. Accompanied by insinuations of what a powerful factor in politics the Kansan would be and of the rich prizes awaiting the winners' party, the hints were nevertheless rejected.
For the Kansan isn't a political paper, and says so in every issue, just above the first editorial column.
The Kansan will take a hand in fighting crookedness or in working for anything which will plainly benefit the school. The hottest campaign in many years is expected next quarter, and the columns of the Kansan will be open for signed statements from all contenders, but the paper itself will continue its policy of strict non-partnership.
Stop talking war. Talk Red Cross.
Campus Opinion
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
To The Kansan:
What's the use? The freshman hasn't a chance in the world this year. If he's taking French, he hasn't.
The beginning French classes are having to do a full semester's work and are getting only quarter hours credit for it. We have to finish lesson 25 in the grammar, which is just what the classes had to do last year. Works of school this week, works of school this year, and that there are eighteen weeks in the old semester, I think this is the most unjust thing going on on the Hill.
Class of 1922.
The news that upperclassmen wil strenuously try to revive the old traditions of freshmen caps is encouraging. Personally, I am a freshman with all anthropological instincts of self-preservation, and with a love of padding comparable to the frogs' affection for the snake. wish to commend the Red Viagra for helping me to remind them that K. U. freshmen are heartily in accord with their intentions. In case the upperclassmen's plans do not materialize I suggest to my green grass comrades that we voluntarily wear freshman caps. I believe we are anxious to revive ye old time pop and moreover are willing to play martyr to accomplish this. G. M. G.
With quizzes coming down the line, I wish to register a protest on the library force. Last week, I went to look up the Spectator files, and an exnexpressed assistant informed me that the files do not run well in our system. I read the reading insists that the magazine is in the library up to this year.
To The Kansan:
H. P.'19
On another occasion the librarian refused to look up a reference which I could not find, on the ground that as a senator I ought to know how to use the library. If this variety of service goes on, I believe there will be more flunks than ever this year.

The situation sounds interesting.
I should guess the young man's mother invited you with the awful purpose of trying out your domestic efficiency before she will let him take the fatal step. So if you want him, I advise you to practice up on dish-washing. If you don't want him, the diplomatic thing for you to do is to go ahea and wash 'em, but be careful to break at least three plates out of four.

Temporary Darkness Brings McGinty's Woe
Where was McGinty when the lights went out? Friday night found one member of the family hunting for his mouth in the University cafeteria, while another member of the same family sought to hear the mouth wide open listening to Lord Charnwood's discussion of the Irish problem at the University Club.
McGinty was in a quandary. In the first instance if he missed his mouth he'd spoil his tie. McGinty was hungry and he took a chance. His success was gratifying, but his second trial gave him access to his neighbor's plate. The neighbor objected and the result was a near dispute.
McGinty's struggles were his own, while he labored to overcome them, the darkness affected others in the cafeteria, differently. There was the cashier who had read somewhere about "Diamond Dick." She banged her cash drawer and stood with buted breath while a line of woeful waiters laughed at her as they highway-men in their midst a pleasant time he'd have trying to walk off with the cash drawer. The cashier once once relinquished her post.
At the University club, Lord Charmwood blinded and continued talking. Nobody saw him blink, but it is taken for granted he did. His sentences flowed easily and evenly and the darkness interfered not a whit with his ideas. It was McGinty alone who had the struggle. The darkness did make a difference with McGinty. He lost the point and couldn't readjust his facial expression to meet the circumstances until the lights came on.
Where *was* McGinty when the lights went out? **Only** McGinty knows,

Twenty Men on Floor For First Scrimmage Of Basket Ball Season
Hamilton Plans Game With Washington University In January
Nearly twenty men were out for basket ball last night and Coach Hamilton put the men through a short scrimmage. The Varsity scrimmaged two sets of second string man playing a fairly good floor and shooting game for this early in the season. They waited until afternoon for the remainder of the week to get them in condition for a second quarter.
Mason who played guard on the foot ball team looks like a coming basket ball man. Wahled played the other guard for the Varsity, Harms, a good shot on last year's freshman team worked at forward with Bunn, a letter man and a backup player who returned from an officer's training camp and will be in K. U. next quarter. Matthews worked at center for the first string.
Kansas may play the Washington Pilkers here early in January according to W. O. Hamilton, athletic manager. The date of the return game with Rutherford's five was not decided at the meeting of the Valley coaches in Kansas City last week. Coach Hamilton will try to get the men into condition for an early game. The Washington game will be the first of the season and will be played here is schedule, if not the James team will meet Kansas in the opening game of the season for Kansas.
Fred Leach is Artist
For 1919 Peace Book
No Delay Expected in Publishing Book This Year, Says the Manager
"All the art work and engraving on the 1919 Peace Book, which is being done by the Burger Engraving company, is finished," said Lynn Hershey, business manager, this morning.
"The other work on the book is coming in fine shape and it is thought that there will be no delay whatever in getting the book out this year.
"The student art work, including cartoons and other clever sketches is in abundance."
One of the largest and snappiest section of the bok this year, according to the editors, will be the humor section, generally known as the Pepper Pot. Students have been assembling material for this part of the book since the opening of school, and will probably continue to press. Things that the students have done and perhaps have forgotten about will appear when least expected
"The beauty contest will be renewed in earnest with the opening of the second quarter, and will continue for about two weeks."
"There have been about 300 Jayhawkers sold," Herssay said this morning, "and many more are promised. The men who are leaving the University this week should either see some of the people who are taking subscriptions or call at the Jayhawker office, next to Brick's, and leave the address to which they want the book sent.
"This contest is being run straight this year," said Hershey, "and if any graft or crookedness is going on we intend to find out about it and give the grafters the publicity they need. A faculty member will be present at each counting of the votes to assure the attendees that the count will be correct."
The standing of the contestants will be announced in the University Daily Kansan.

The objections to the use of distilled water last year were made because it was felt by the faculty that students wasted the water. The difficulty of drinking cups was solved last year by the Daily Kansas, which set a price for the proper size for drinking cups, at each distilled water container.

Inquiry Into Conduct Of S. A. T. C. Officers Resumed in Green Hall
NUMBER 43.
Major Ballinger Sent Here from Chicago to Conduct Investigation
Privates Being Questioned
A further investigation into conditions within the S. A. T. C. is being made by Major C. W. Ballinger, U.S.A., who has been sent here from central headquarters of the War Department at Chicago. Men from the different companies in the S. A. T. C. apparently chosen at random, are being called Michigan Ballinger to be the basement of Green Hall, and are being asked questions relative to the conduct of affairs in the burrows.
Probe Apparently Is Continuation of Previous Inquiry
According to military heads on the Hill, this investigation is being made to complete the one recently made by Capt. D. B. Miller, whose final report exonerated the officers. It is necessary, the military authorities say, that Captain Miller's report be corroborated by specific evidence from enlisted men in the S. A. T. C. The evidence will be collected and sent into departmental headquarters at Chicago, closing the whole investigation. Men who are being questioned by Major Ballinger are asked if they have seen any drunkenness among the officers, if the conditions in the barracks are clean and satisfactory, and if the S. A. T. C. has been operated in conformity with strict military regulations. The individual grilling lasts usually about two minutes, but if the soldiers shows a disposition to talk freely, his examination of course lasts longer.
Major Ballinger was formerly a student at K. U., and is now assistant inspector general of the war department for the central district.
The prevalent belief that this later investigation is a new one, and that it is being held because the Captain Miller decision was without weight, is apparently wrong; since the military authorities say the present investigation is simply the completion of the former one.
The finances necessary to carry on the work, have come from the Hostess House committee of the War Work council of the National board of Y. W. C. A. On December 12, Miss Katherine Duffield received a letter from the War Work Council saying that whatever added expense was necessary in closing the house, would be met by the council. When the law institutes learned that the S. A. T. C. would not be demobilized until December 21, they felt that the house should be kept open until the end of the quarter.
Y.W. War Work Council Supports Hostess House
...On December 20, the Hostess House in Myra Hail will close. The work has been carried on since September 15, under the supervision of Mrs. W. H. Johnson, Mrs. F. J. Kelly and Mrs. W. J. Baumgartner of the local War Work Committee. If the number of men who have used the Hostess House signifies anything, the work has been a marked success.
Physically Unfit Men
Cannot Be Discharged
Thirteen Convalescents Will Be Sent to Some Other Camp
There are at present thirteen members of the S. A. T. C. who are physically unfit to be discharged with the rest, according to Lieut. Judson Allen Influenza has been the cause of the condition of twelve of these men and influenza-meningitis of the remaining one.
These men who are practically unfit will be sent to some camp for convalecents designated by the surcon general for these times. At the time they camp they will be sent.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 18, 1918
Aside from these thirteen there are three men now in the Simmons Hospital and four in the Jones Hospital whose exact condition is undetermined.
New Semester Schedules Not Ready Until Vacation
Schedules for classes for the second quarter are now in the hands of the printer, but will not be out until some time next week, it was announced at the Dean's office today. It will be impossible for students to decide what they will take next quarter until the schedules are out, and the hours of the different courses are finally announced.
Monday, December 20, will be enrolment day for the second quarter. It is believed there will be so few new registrations, the enrolment can be completed in the one day, as in previous years.
Barracks Offered for Sale
Barracks offered all the
barracks, but they have entirely
vaunted in a way that they have
been needed for sale. They will be
torn down and the materials moved
away by the purchaser and very soon
the grass will be growing over the
spots where the Student Army Training Corps quarters now stand.
Pay Issued To Men Of Student Army But Discharges Not Here
Men May Remain In Barracks After Receiving Final Papers
In case discharge papers for the S. A. T. C. arrive from Chicago before Saturday, any men who may be kept in Lawrence until the end of the term may stay in the barracks until they are ready to leave for their home, Capt. W. A. Hatch said this morning. Men who receive discharge papers before the end of the term and who are not planning to stay in school may leave Lawrence as soon as they receive their papers.
Nothing has been heard so far from the Chicago headquarters, where the discharge papers were sent last Friday night. A telegram received earlier said they would be returned on or before Saturday, December 21. Companies A, B, and C were paid last night in Robinson Gymnastium. Companies D, E, F, G, and H will be paid tonight.
Every man in the vocational training detachment, Section B of the S A. T. C. has been paid.
Contrary to the rumor that men would have to leave the barracks as soon as they received their discharges, it was explained that they could remain in barracks till they are ready to go home.
Professor's Son Gives Specimens to Museum

Allan Sterling Resumes Work With Carnegie Institute
Allen Brenkle, a former student of the University who left the College in 1916 to take up education work, died of pneumonia following influenza recently at Lamona, Iowa. He is survived by a wife and one child. Mr. Brenkle was principal of the high school at Lamona.
Allan Sterling, son of Prof. M. W. Sterling of the department of Greek, has returned to Washington where he is in the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institute. Mr. Sterling returned from a 2-year trip to South America last July and immediately went into the army, after obtaining an extended absence from the Carnegie Institution.
Mr. Sterling obtained some aigrettes for the Museum while in South America. A law forbids the hunter to kill the white horse from which the aigrettes are obtained, and Mr. Sterling had to get the permission of the Customs Department to bring the aigrettes into the country, for the University. Museum authorities had to agree in writing that the factors were to be used scientific purposes for the Customs Department of the Treasury would send them here. While cruising in southern seas, Mr. Sterling also obtained for the Museum a rare specimen of snake which is found only in the tropics.
Former Student Dead
Patterson Believes Students Should Get Standing From Profs
Ritan Intended to Relieve Dean's Office and Benefit Students
A proposition was made at the meeting of the College faculty Tuesday night that students should go to their different instructors to learn their standing in work rather than to the dean's office. Prof. D. L. Patterson, dean of the College, who put the proposition before the faculty, explained today why he thinks such a ruling should be made. He gave two reasons for holding that the dean's office should issue no grades.
"The most important reason," he said, "is that the student should go to his instructor for his standing in a course at any time. The instructor only knows the character of the work being done by the student. Further, because the increase the questionites for the student to be advised by his instructor.
"Under the present system of obtaining grades from the dean's office, the results are unsatisfactory. Such grades as are in the office are never up-to-date. If for no other reasons, the transmission of the grades through the University mules place the records in arrears. Often they are five or six weeks out-of-date. Consequently the student fails to get the information which he could from the instructor. The instructors are always willing and anxious to advise students as to their work.
"The second and less important reason is that the present system interferes with the routine work of the dean's office. This work in the College is necessarily great on account of the large number of students enrolled, and the many interferences with work should be avoided unless the results indicate otherwise."
Daan Patterson said that this did not mean students were unwelcome in the classroom.
"Students are always welcome," he said, "and especially when in need of advice concerning their studies. Professor Brandt, assistant dean and chairman of advisers for freshman men, and Miss Wilson, chairman of the dean's office at regular hours for consultation by students."
The suggestion of Dean Patterson's was not acted upon at the meeting, but will be taken up at the faculty's next regular meeting in January.
The Snow Zoology Club held its annual Christmas meeting this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Snow Hall. All of the students and faculty of the zoology department were guests of the club. The following program was given:
A Christmas Reading by *Leona Baumgartner;* Among Enchanted Isles by Dr. B.M. Allen. The Aquaria at Naples, by Miss Nowlin; With a Bird Tramper, by Mrs. Douthitt. Christmas decorations were used, and refreshments were served.

Mining Department Offers Real Course In Rescue Car Work
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
Students Wear Gas Helmets
And Learn First Aid
Somehow you haven't felt a bit of the Christmas spirit this year.
With college work broken by the advent of a military regime, an epidemic of influenza and a half dozen other things, it doesn't seem time for Christmas yet.
But as you begin to realize that a week from today you will be back home for Christmas dinner, perhaps you catch just a breath of the holiday atmosphere. There will be presents to buy for the home-folks and as you begin to count your money you recall that you made a pledge to the United War Work Campaign to help care for the men "over there" who will spend Christmas thousands of miles from home without seeing a single one of the home-folks.
Besides, who can feel like Christmas with October weather and not a bit of snow?
Mine Rescue Car No. 1, in charge of Dr. J. R. Jutledge, district mining engineer for the Southwestern district—Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Southern Missouri is in Lawrence this week to give students in the department of mining a course of instruction in mine rescue and first aid
S. A. T. C. men were taken to the Union Pacific yards Tuesday to see the car, which arrived in Lawrence Monday night coming from Oakland, Calif. This heavy steel car is used for rescue work at the mines in time, and as a means of training the miners in "first aid" and "mine rescue work."
John Fiske and George Bailey, both members of the naval section at K. U., were injured by heated tar when their car dropped into a chuck hole at the corner of Fourteenth and Tennessee streets, Tuesday. The hole had just been filled wit htar by men working for the street railway company. Fiske was burned about the face and his right car was injured. Bailey's face was burned and his clothing was ruined. The men say there was no sign of danger near the place. The car was not hurt.
Yes, it may call for some sacrifice, but that is the Christmas spirit.
Wouldn't it help you to get more of the Christmas spirit to go to the Registrar's office, if you haven't already done so, and pay for the present you promised to the fellows "somewhere in France" before you go home for your own happy holiday season?
While the soldiers passed through the demonstration room, Dr. Rutledge explained the various things necessary in case of disaster at a mine. The first thing that attracted attention was the care of canary birds. Dr. Rutledge explained that birds were very necessary to perceive if gasses are present in the mines.
After the men passed through car, they were entertained with reading by Miss Leona Baumgartner. Courses in "first aid" and "mine rescue" work will be given in class. Students with Prec A. C. Terrill, with several students, attended the first class in "mine rescue" work at 7:30 o'clock p. m. Tuesday. Five days are required to finish either of these two courses.
Dr. Rrulezdee's headquarters are at McAlester, Okin, and he is being assisted by men from the rescue station at Pittsburgh. The Bureau of Mines now has ten of these special researchers, which contain, besides space for the rescue apparatus, living quarters for the crew. Instruction in first aid may be extended to more than 30,000 men employed in the mines, and probably half that number have been trained to do rescue work with the helmets.
In addition to the instruction at the car, there are seven motion picture reels showing the work of the mine rescue service of the Bureau of Mines, and these reels are being shown to the mining students and also to members of the Student Army. In addition, the films this morning, and then visited the car to see a demonstration of the apparatus used.

Plain Tales From the Hill
One University man must have been in a great hurry to get away from one of the booths conducted in the Rea Cross drive. Or else he was extreme in the opposite direction and was in no hurry to leave the booth and in so leaning forgot what he was supposed to be doing. At any rate the booth, leaving a dollar but not signing his name. Consequently on the list of contributors a dollar is entered as a subscription from "Cash".
The instructor called on one of the students, to recite, but there was no response, and the student was found to be asleep.
For instance, when he wants Valma, by either her first name or her last by either her first name or by last name. Because Thelma will accept her name and get the one for Valma. This in itself doesn't seem queer, but the trouble comes when the dates are alr up fixed. Enough!
"Ah," said the instructor, "it's plain he's an S. A. T. C. man; Sleep All Through Class."
In these days when dates are made at the eleventh hour, on account of "passes," furloughs, K. P., and numerous other military reasons, extreme care must be exercised to avoid confusion. Now, when there are two women in the same house who have the same name or nearly the same name, especial care should be exercised by the gallant rookie when he calls.

Booths for Red Cross Offerings by Students To Be Open Thursday
Number of Student Subscriptions Disproportionately Small, Says Mitchell
K.U. Quota Not Yet Reached
Total of 384 Names Reported to University Finance Committee
Booths at which students of the University may sign the Red Cross membership rolls and pay their dollar, will be kept on Thursday morning in Fraser Hall and Administration Building, it was announced to Prof. U.G. Mitchell, chairman of the University war finance committee.
"The students have not been responding to the Red Cross plea," said Professor Mitchell. "Out of the two lists published, less than 200 of the names are those of students. Unless the students respond more liberally, the members of the faculty and employees of the University will have to contribute all out of proportion to their numbers if the University is to go over its goal, low as that goal is."
Today's list, which was reported to Professor Mitchell up to 5 o'clock last night, contains 128 names, and there had been previously reported 256 names, making a total of 348. Today's list follows:

Had not the armistice been signed, the men would have entered a training camp at Paris Island, S. C. in January. The boys were given the option of either receiving their discharge or going to Paris Island to continue their training.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students of the university go further than merely printing the news by standing with the University staff and play no face to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of one's ability the students of the university.
THE HEALTH SERVICE
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 18, 1918
The University has a Health Service, for which the student pays $2 a year, and from which he never cashes in unless he is unfortunate enough to be ill.
Unless he meets with misfortune and becomes ill, or meets with an accident he receives nothing from the University Health Service because it is a short-sighted. one-sided, lop-sided, incomplete thing, seemingly without vision or apparent comprehension of the needs of the University. Not only does the Health Service fall down on the water proposition, but it utterly fails to function as an educational or a preventive agency.
Without presuming to discern whatever was the full purpose of the University authorities who instituted the Health Service, and without presuming to interpret the attitude of its members to its present policies, we may safely say that the common sense functions of such a service should be threefold.
It should be preventive It should be curative
It should be educational.
It should be curative.
It should be educational because that is the function of the University. Furthermore, the big thing in medicine today is education. Education is the best preventive and the best medium of better health in the community. Not only should the health of the community on Mount Oread be considered, but that education should be a center to spread its education throughout the state.
The University Health Service should be preventive in its regulations and suggestions. It should know as far as it limited facilities will permit, the first measures of vaccination, quarantine, and other prophylactic precautions that should be put into effect at the University of Kansas.
As a curative agency with a University Hospital, the Health Service is no doubt wide-awake and wholly on the job in a landable way, but for the other two sides, it looks like a case of atrophy.
Water. Water. Water.
ON GOING HOME
Except for the infrequent check and the occasional visit, the "folks back home" have little influence on the life of the average college student. Most students have nearly reached the age when they go out into the world, and are too liable to forget father and mother.
But Christmas is nearly here, and we're all going home. In just a few days we'll resume wearing out the
piano and the car, and we'll eat and eat and eat.
Mother and dad will be glad to see us back, for we've been away a long while and there hasn't been much noise around the place since we left. Nothing will be too good for us then, and mother and dad will do anything to make us enjoy our vacation.
Let's make their vacation a good one too. Let's not take our troubles home. Dad and mother will not worry us by referring to the mortgage or the high cost of living. They have troubles, too, bigger than we think, but they'll forget them and think only of our homecoming. Let's give them the happiest time of their lives this year, and show them we think a lot of home even though it's pretty nice to go away to college. They won't know we really care unless we show them.
Isn't it the truth—the whistle sounds more terrible on quiz day, than any other time?
One girl's idea of too much of a good thing: To have examinations come and the soldier_return the same week.
ITS NOT TOO LATE
The response to the appeal sent out by the Y, M. C. A. employment bureau for situations for the S. A. T. C. men who are anxious to remain in school has not been as generous as was expected. In fact, it is so far below what it should be, that one might assume the business men have had enough of the S. A. T. C., and do not care to interest themselves further in the welfare of its members.
But remember, Mr. Business Man, they were willing to fight for your peace and the protection of your property. Now it is up to you to "whack up" and help them fight for an education and a chance to make good in industry and commerce.
The boys are being demobilized now. They are haunting the "Y" secretary in the attempt to find jobs for next semester.
What you do, Mr. Business Man,
must be done now. Next week they
will be gone carrying with them an
opinion of your patriotism that might
not be pleasing to an American citizen.
Better make a place for some
student help. Call up the "Y" man
and tell him about it now. Phone 380.
What has become of the instructor who used to dismiss his class ten minutes before the whistle blew? After all that has been said, we still have with us the opposite variety of genu professoris. He holds 11 o'clock classes only till about 12:15.
The old-fashioned phrase, "Shop early and avoid the rush" has run its course. Now it's "only five more days until Christmas." Oh, boy!
Water. Water. Water.
With the elections and beauty contests well under way on the Hill it is high time some one was taking notice of the graft in elections. The beauty contest should not be, or should be conducted differently as there is always an allegation of crooked work by the losers and circumstantial evidence points that no Kansas beauty contest has been straight. Let's have straight contests on a popular vote or none at all. Nosa Lott.

The winter nights are long and lonesome for her. How she enjoys sitting by the fire-place reading—but it depends on what she has to read. You know she would spend many happy hours reading William Allen White's latest book, "In the Heart of a Fool." Maybe she would like to see Dorothy Canfield's new book "Home Fires in France." We all appreciate the works of our own University poet, Willaro Wattles. Why not give her "The Lanterns in Gethsmane?" This book may be purchased at the University Book Store for $1.50.
Yes, he appreciates candy—but it is the homemade divinity and fudge which she makes. While SHE likes those nice boxes of chocolates that may be purchased at Wiedemann's. Lowneys, Douglas, or—well, you know her favorite kind!
Every time John gets ready to go somewhere, there is a house-wide search for his cuff links. One of the gold links fell down the register, and only yesterday he lost a pearl one. Wouldn't he appreciate it, if you slipped in a pair, when you send his Christmas box? Just stop in at Gaston's Jewelry Store, and see the wide variety.
Let her keep a record of her past, present and future, in one of these little leather "line-a-day" books, which you see at the University Book Store. The prices range from one to four dollars.
While he is still in camp, why not send him a box of stationery? How often he writes home apologizing for his stationery, saying that all he had on hand. A nice line of Highland linen and initial stationery may be seen at Weavers.
Suppose you surprise him this year. Every Christmas he has received handkerchiefs and socks—there are still several boxes of handkerchiefs unopened, but how he admires beautiful neckties! He needs a variety, for with each suit he needs a different colored one; he wants it to be the varied line at Johnson and Carls? The prices range from fifty cents to five dollars.

"MY COUSIN"
Caruso is as great an actor as a singer, brimful of vitality, infectionally happy. See him in "My Counin."
In this—his first appearance on the screen—Caruso takes a double role. In one minute he is a famous Metropolitan tenor, at the next he is a poor sculptor.
In the second character he has to fall in love with his model—some model, boys—and believe us Enrico Caruso makes love to her as he would to some great opera belle in the glare of the footlights beneath the Diamond Horse-shoe at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.

Y.W. Sang Xmas Carols
At White Gift Meeting
A departure from the usual order of meeting was had at the Y. W. C. A. meeting Tuesday afternoon when the principle part of the program was the singing of Christmas carols by the audience, led by the Women's Glee Club.
Ester Moore was the leader of the meeting. Laura Jackman played a violin solo, accompanied by Olive Creek on the organ. Lucele Phinney and Ruth Anderson sang a duet. At the close of the meeting the white gifts for the children of Lawrence were donated to the needy children by the Social Service committee of the Y. W. C. A.
The next meeting of the association will be January 7 and will be held in Meyers Hall in the room that is now serving as the Hostess House.

Track Men Preparing For First Indoor Meet With Kansas Aggies
Coach Hamilton Will Depend Largely on New Men For Points
In preparation for the indoor track meet with the Kansas Aggies, to be held in Robinson Gymnasium, February 17, University track men are already taking preliminary workouts. The track has been put in condition, and just as soon as the men return from the Christmas vacation they will get down to work in earnest.
Several of the track men from last year are in school, but Coach Hamilton will have to depend upon the new men for most of the points this season unless some of the old men return from training camps, Rodkey is in school and will be out for the middle distance and broad jump. Dewall will be out for the distance races. These two letter men are the only varsity men in school. Heizer will be out. He did some good work in his high school career and will try to break into University track this season. The Bradley brothers are expected to win some points for the Kansas team.
"It would be useless to start working with the track team at present as the work would be broken up. All athletics have been interfered with this quarter but we can make a practice schedule that we can carry out next quarter," said Coach Hamilton today.
The Kansas cross country team has been shot to pieces by the weather and illness. Rodkey was in bed with a bad throat for a week, and Deering has an appointment to Annapolis and will not be in K. U. after this quarter. Dewall is the only athlete who has been out constantly.
Basket Ball Team Goes Through Fast Practice
Members of the basket ball team were put though a stiff practice last night at the gym and are coming along fine, according to Coach Hamilton. Hamilton is working with the men and has divided them into four groups out of the practice Tuesday afternoon.
Uhrlaub and Bennett worked at guard for the Varsity in last night's scrimmage with the scrubs. Uhrlaub played here several years ago and will be in K. U. next quarter, Bennett worked well with the first year team last year and halls from the fast Iola team. Bennett is a good floor man and fast on his feet. He can be used at defense played at center for the Varsity and is getting the tip off as he did in games last season. Bunn and Harms played the forwards. Bunn won his letter last year and-Harms worked for the first year team.
Oread Team to Play
The Oread Training School basketball ball team will play its first game of the season with Vinland High School in Robinson Gymnasium Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock. A regular coach has not been appointed but the team is showing up in good shape under the direction of Prof. H. W. Nutt, principal of the school. More games will be scheduled after Christmas.

Streeter's Book Published
A history of state politics is the comprehensive and practical type of effort that Floyd B. Streater, A. B. "11," has chosen to put into a new book that has just been printed by the Michigan Historical Mission. The book of about four hundred pages is entitled "Political Parties in Michigan." It is illustrated with haps and portraits. Members of the University of Kansas history department, in which Mr. Streeter majored, have received copies of the book and consider it an excellent work. Mr. Streeter is now state archivist of Michigan. He took his master's degree here in 1912, and was a fellow in history, and after leaving here had fellowships in history at Illinois and at Michigan.

A., when questioned today regarding the military investigation which is being held on the Hill, concerning conditions within A. T. O. I am not at liberty to rave about the reason for the investigation is being resumed, nor the results which are obtained."

Considering the fact that students who entered the service last year were given twenty hours credit toward graduation, members of the administration in extending credit to S. A. T. C. men who have been sent to officers' training camps this year is justified.
Students who were enrolled in the College the first week of school and who were later summoned to officers training camps, will be given credit enrollment, according to Prof. D. L. Patterson, dean of the College, today.
When asked if he had seen the statement of Dean F. J, Kelly, in Tuesday's issue of the Kansan, to the effect that no credit would be given S. A. T. C. men in such cases, Dean Paterson said: "I did see this statement of Dean Kelly's." However, I hardly understand the action of the college faculty and college administrative committee.
"This action of the faculty is intended to relieve mainly the cases of seniors to whom an injustice would be by preventing graduation this year.
"Each case will be handled individually. The committee will not consider the granting of credit for work done in training camps by students who were not enrolled in the College at the time they were sent to camp."
The campaign to raise funds for the Fatherless French, Children carried on recently among the students and faculty of the University netted $3.00 or nearly enough to support a child for a year. Funds were obtained for the Christmas cards. The committee composed a generous response, considering the unsettled condition and the apathy toward Christmas this season.
A few cards are still in the hands of the committee and may be obtained of Miss Sellard at her office, Room 121, Fraser. The campaign on the Hill was conducted by Margaret Mitchell, c'19.

To Take Action Today at Request of War Department
The committee of the Senate to investigate the feasibility of establishing an R. O. T. C. at the University will bring in their report at a called meeting tonight at 4:30 o'clock.

Action is taken on the matter at this time at the request of the War Department in order that they may detail an officer here for next quarter. If a hundred men in military tactics and it is approved in military tactic's and it is approved by the University authorities the War Department will send an officer to K. U. to take command. The committee will also decide what war courses will be given next quarter.
Two Lectures are Given To Men of Student Army
Mining Students are Given Instruction in First Aid To Injured
Two lectures were given this morning to members of the Students' Army Training Corps, one at 10 o'clock by M. Prof. E. Riege on "Vibrations," also on America's Future; A. C. Terrill, on 'America's Future,' the attendance at the lectura
Professor Rice described the var-
ious forms of vibration as manifested
in wireless telegraphy, the X-ray, and
in color photography and color print-
ing. Professor Terrill's lecture, which
was illustrated with slides, pertained
 chiefly to the country's mineral re-
sources.
Students in the department of mining last night took their first lesson in first aid, at the Bureau of Mines rescue car, which is in Lawrence for the week. Saturday the car will be taken to Lansing, for demonstration and description at the penitentiary and other coal mines. The car is ex-merged with a ladder so students lowling soon so the students in mining may complete their courses in mine rescue and first aid, and obtain their government certificates.
S.A.T.C. Veterans Plan
S.A.T.C. Veterans Home Folks
Maybe it's the desire to get a snappy salute or so. Maybe it's because they want to impress the drug store gang back home. Anyway, a great many S. A. T. C. men are planning, costumes as nearly like officers' uniforms as possible for use when they leave Lawrence.
Downtown clothing stores are being mobled by men who desire to look spiffy on the homeward trip. They buy everything in the way of officers' equipment short of the shoulder bars, and some even purchase black and gold hatscords, which they say are for Christmas presents for the girls. Every barracks have at least half a dozen men who have leather puttees, acquired mostly when they rode motor-cycles before going to war. Others will wear spirals to create the effect. Then there are a few who meditate purchasing officers' caps and removing the emblem.
Oversera caps, made from scraps of overcords by means of patterns obtained at the Hostess House, are the indoor sport among the men now. The silver chevroon market is booming, and the corporsals and servicers who haven't enough stripes for all their clothing are laying in supplies now. One man who was issued an overcoat with bone buttons has had several dozens chances to trade or sell, but no, he wants to wear it himself.
The bronze hatchcords will help a lot in bringing salutes, the men figure. The gold is a little more golden, and as many schools wear other colors, the illusion is often complete.
War History Courses Offered
Coat Tail Surplus Makes Overseas Cap
Two practical courses in war aims will be offered in the department of history next quarter, says Prof. H. F. Holder. The first course, "The War—Peace and Reconstruction," will be open to all students in the University. The second course, "National Governments and The World War," will be open to all the students with the exception of the freshmen.
Pricked fingers and ruffled dispositions tell the tale of self-sacrificing S. A. T. C. men who have shorn their new khaki overcoats of lengthy tails to construct niffy, nobly overseas caps as Christmas surprises for the girls at home.
The mending room at the Hostess House for the last week has sheltered a busy circle of ambitious solitaries and those long time in shaping the stylish headscarf.
The overseas bonnet is put together in four pieces and is lined in some instances with silk begged, or borrowed from girls in Lawrence.
Military law forbids men here wear ing the coy headcoverings from over seas, but there is no law to keep sty lish girls from wearing them.
The S. A. T. C. milliner say that in the future when Mrs. S. A. T. C.'s demand bonets of Paris make, the S. A. T. C.'s themselves will furnish the things. The experience here, they claim has been well worth while.
The navy is out of it again. They have no coat-tails to clip.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Members of the S. A. T. C. are pessimistic about almost everything They try to tarnish all the sunshine.
Now will come the battle to make the world safe for ex-aergeants.
When one of the soldier-students enters mess-line, he growls, "Well, I suppose they'll choose the other end to go first just because I'm at this moment," where he is in the run, he forsees the grub will run out before he gets to it.
If it is announced that the men will be discharged, the rookie will say decidedly that it is an unfounded rumor. Many army men now never expect to be discharged, and some navy men do so. We have to consider others that do expect releases; they will be called back into active service shortly after Christmas.
Pessimism abounds concerning pay. The most kill-joy thoughts, however, come when the rookie wonders whether "Sugar," whom he left behind him, still thinks of him.
Some fair one in the Jayhawker beauty contest has been gained some votes by a pair of dice. The man who got the votes for her, however, didn't do so by gambling. He merely traded the pair for the votes, because the one who formerly had them was too stubborn to give them up without any return.
An S. A. T. C. man who allotted half his pay and has taken out insurance, a Liberty Bond, a Jayhawker, and other things, has figured up and concluded that he will owe the government three dollars when he gets out of the army. Which is somewhat worse than the shock one of the vocational men received not long ago when the handwritten master him a dime as the remainder of his month's pay.
Latest Reports from the Rumor Bureau:

Mrs. Abbie Noyes Raymond, a student of the University when it consisted only of North College, died at her home 746 Mississippi Street, this morning. Mrs. Raymond was the wife of a hirry L. Raymond, a graduate of the School of Pharmacy in 1885, who died a few years ago. Mrs. Raymond's daughter, Mrs. Bessie Raymond Cox, died about two months ago. A brother of Mrs. Raymond, Ellis Noyes, of the class of 1874, is a clerk in Norfolk Navy Yard. Mrs. Raymond's father, one of the early settlers of Lawrence, came from Massachusetts. He built the house west of Lawrence now owned by Jess Willard.

Word Received That Navy Pay Checks Are On Way From Chicago
Eight Naval Reservists Sent Here From Lakes Get Pay Today
May Be Out This Week
Bonds
Sailors Can Have Government Sell Their Liberty
Pay checks for the naval section of the University are now on the way from the district disbursing officer of the 9th, 10th and 11th naval districts, according to word received from the Great Lakes Station this morning by Ensign D. E. Finnegan. The message stated that the pay would be "forwarded shortly," and this is taken to nen it is already on the way.
Pay for eight men who came to the University from the Lakes as naval reservists was received this morning. The checks ranged from $74 to $124. The eight men have not been released but received their pay in advance of the others because of their service at the Great Lakes Station.
Three more releases were received from headquarters this morning. This makes a total of 185 which have been received here, and papers for the remainder of the company, which numbers 254, are expected immediately.
If the pay checks for the other men and the remainder of the releases arrive this afternoon or Friday, as Ensign Finnage expects, the University's unit of the navy will be mustered out before the end of the week. The Navy doesn't have yet set and no word has been received as a whether or not it will be issued.
Naval men who have signed up for Liberty Bonds and have not completed paying for them are enabled to dispose of them by an order received this morning. Members of the unit have only to notify the Liberty Loan Bureau of the Treasury Department at the location of their insurance benefit the remaining payments on the bonds, which will then be placed on sale. When the bonds are sold, the amount paid in by the men will be remitted to them
Provisions for war risk insurance taken out by the navy men are also included in the orders received this morning. The government insurance may be carried for five years more, the rates remaining the same as though the owners were in the service. The insurance will still be handled by the government and not turned over to a corporation. At the end of the five-year period, the insurance may be converted into an old-line policy.
Precautions Prescribed For Christmas Vacation
To keep the influenza epidemic from breaking out again when students return to the University after the Christmas holidays, Miss Mary Abramson advises students to spend the week of vacation as a week of rest.
"The past five weeks have been strenuous ones," said Miss Hight, "and every one should take Christmas week off for a good time. Eat wholesome, sensible food, but do not overheat. Keep away from crowds as much as possible, especially from poorly ventilated places where crowds gather. Wear clothing that is suitable to the weather."
Professor Smith Back from Capital Prof. T. T. Smith of the department of mathematics will return to the University the first of next quarter. Professor Smith has been engaged in war work for the government in the Department of Standards in Washington, D. C.
Plays to be Given Next Quarter
Professor Arthur McMurray announces that the second number of the popular play series will probably be given the second week of next quarter.
The American Red Cross is an emergency organization by nature it deals with problems as they arise.
The University Cafeteria will not be open Friday, December 20. It will reopen after Christmas vacation.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students at the university to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the views the University holds on certain issues to be clean; to be cheerful; to be accountable; to be courageous; to solve problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the education of the students of the University.
THURSDAY, DEC. 19, 1918.
THE SYMBOL
Probably never before in the course of human events in these United States would people have had the courage to put on a campaign like the Red Cross drive Just before Christmas.
"What! Try to get money when everyone is frantic already, thinking of what to give his friends and how to pay for it?" they would have said in other years. But no one seemed to think of that this year.
We are not giving gifts this Christmas simply because we think some one else is going to give to us. We haven't time to think about that. There are too many bigger things to think about. During the war we have gotten used to doing for the other fellow and it seems perfectly natural and proper that, at this Christmas time, we should be called upon to aid in a movement, the key-note of which, is Service. Service was, after all, the reason for there ever having been a Christmas.
And this year the smybol of Service, the Red Cross signifies the Christmas spirit more truly than do mistletoe and holly and tinsel wreaths.
The spirit of brotherly love and unselfishness that pervaded the battle grounds in France and Belgium is silently stealing across the broad Atlantic and taking possession of the hearts of would-be worldly Americans.
Even the cat has felt the Christmas spirit and has given up (temporarily) making eyes at the canary.
The professor's small son who had his skates sharpened in October, in order to be ready for the first good skating on Potter's Lake, will have to wait several days longer, according to weather prophets.
Water. Water. Water.
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
This is the time of year when some fiendish persons who like to take the joy out of life go about informing the youth of the republic that "there is no Santa Claus." They sip sweet joy out of fact that the youngsters' whole Christmas fun is spoiled for a year or two and that bitter disappointment and disillusionment have taken the place of happy trustful ignorance on the subject of the wherefore of their sparkling array of gifts and toys.
There IS a Santa Claus and he is with us now. He is the spirit of Christmas and the feeling of good will. The person who casts aside his Santa Claus when he learns that this
jolly old fellow is not a real man with a fur coat and a red nose, has not only lost this happy delusion but has failed to grasp the lesson which Santa Claus was invented to teach.
Let's not only keep our faith in Santa Claus but pass it on to the youngators when they first begin to hear that "there is no Santa Claus."
Let me see--get her a framed picture of yourself. It always shows good taste.
It is time for somebody in the family to suggest new shoes as an appropriate gift for the small boy who is hankering for the latest airplane model.

Dear Popularity:
You most certainly should not write to the man who remain in Lawrence, or to the men who go home for vacation either. Write to the ones who send you flowers for Christmas, but forget the others temporarily. Have a good time with your hometown bank clerk, and if the K.

Campus Opinion
Merry Christmas.
Dear Everybody:
In your issue of December 17, a communication signed "Class of 1922" alleges that the beginning French classes are attempting to do a full semester's work in the seven weeks of this much curtailed quarter. To the instructors this seems like mock irony when they look back on the work of former years only to find that this year the classes have not yet covered all of the ground assigned to the first half of the semester, have not yet taught their classes, and "1922" will call at the French office. I shall be glad to explain in detail the content of the first semester's work.

He accomplished this at the request of the United States government and after England had vainly commissions to America trying to find a source of supply for the gas, which has been known for some years, but which could not be produced in sufficient quantities. Doctor Cady drives a Ford, wears inexpensive clothing, rarely has his Cady creased, loves a good story and a joke and works harder than any student or young prof on the Hill. Among foremost scientists of the country Doctor Cady is known as a regular scientist. Among the men who know him in his few leisure hours he is known as a regular fellow. A labor union, however, would consider him absolutely hopeless. He has an unbreakable habit of working over time. After four hours of straight lecturing he usually brings himself a dish of tea, which he drinks without sugar or milk. He wears his hair wavy.

VOLUME XVI
Increase of $140,000 For University Salaries Is Asked By Auditor
F. W. Knapp Also Approves K U. Campus Improvements
Cuts Out Proposed Hospital
Treasury Guard Has Struggle to Hold Educational Prices
Topeka, Dec. 30.—Recommendation that the appropriations for the University of Kansas be increased $140,000 a year for the next two years, in order to provide increases in salaries of faculty members averaging 30 per cent, are contained in the report of F. W. Knapp, state auditor, which will be transmitted to the state legislature with the budgets for the various state institutions and departments. At the same time the auditor has eliminated from his estimates the request of the board of administration for $200,000 for a new hospital building at Rosedale, but proposed improvements on the campus at Lawrence are retained in the list.
CUTS OUT $240,000
The total of appropriations asked by all the state institutions and departments totalled $15,591,354.26. Elimination of items from the budgets by the state auditor cut this total to $13,928,870.43, or a reduction of more than a million and a half dollars. At that, the total recommended is nearly three million above the total appropriations for 1917-18.
The University budget as prepared by the board of administration, asked that the appropriations for the state University be increased from $460, 000 for each year of the biennium, to $840,000, but Auditor Knapp eliminated items totalling $240,000.
IT'S A HARD JOB
"I never found a job so difficult in my life," said Mr. Knapp Saturday, "as that of trying to keep down appropriations in these price-sourcing times and at the same time not cripple the institutions or departments. In addition to the natural growth in population of the institutions, which has made necessary an increase in the amount to be appropriated for their support by each succeeding legislature, the high prices for all items going into the maintenance cost and a reasonable increase in the salaries to be paid, runs the total which I have recommended for salaries and maintenance for the twenty-six state institutions $2,243,929.01 in excess of two years ago. This is an increase of 30 per cent. I have also recommended an increase of $442,908.21 for permanent improvements. These, with a $200,000 increase for the purchase of a fuel and a total of $118,959.59 deficiency appropriations to pay bills incurred during the fiscal year 1917 more than account for the total increases I have recommended over the appropriations made by the 1917 session of the legislature."
Would Cost Huge Sum
To Break K.U. Drought
In theory the University is supplying students with pure water but funds for such a supply are lacking. Without funds the water situation will not be solved and no method of minimizing costs has been discarded. Students have been warned not to drink water that has not been boiled.
"It would cost the University $15 to $25 a day to supply one glass of distilled drinking water to each of the two thousand students on the campus," said Dr. Alice Goetz in discussing the water situation recently. "We are promising to provide pure water but the promises never are carried out."
"The student is rather up against it
if he cannot get pure water any place
and right now it looks as if he would
do without." said Doctor Goetz.

Two Track Veterans Out
Two Track Veterans' Rodkey and Dewall, at the only track men who have been in school all year and will be working out for a week and week and get into condition early. Kansas probably will be unable to enter a team at the meet which will be held in Kansas City New Year's Day. Many of the old athletes are expected back and Kansas probably will have a winner.
Basketteers Get Ready For Game With Ames
The Kansas basketball squad will start practice for its opening games with Ames, at Ames, January 17-18, as soon as the gymnasium is cleared of registration day furniture. Kansas will have a strong team this year with Bunn, Uhrlaub, Matthews, Heizer, Mason and Bennett out for the team. Most of the men have returned from their vacation; they will be ready for the practice this week. The first year men will give the Varsity some good work outs with Gross, Turner, Gardner and Olson working together.
Untutored Tooter Toots Early Toot at Tutors
The tutors and the tooter weren't at all together this morning. When the tooter tooted the toot for the first daily University period he tootted it at 8 o'clock which was twenty minutes earlier than he should have tooted. The tutors had forgotten to tell the tooter not to toot the first toot at 8 o'clock but to toot it at 8:30 o'clock the tutors having decided in solemn conclave that nothing earlier than 8 o'clock would summons a tutor. The tutors have not yet decided as to which *tutor* is responsible for the tooter being unattended as to the change in the tooting schedule. Toot, toot.
Men's Gym Work Will Be Recreational Next Quarter—Hamilton
Fifty Pairs Gloves Ordered for Bozing
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 30, 1918.
Fifty pairs of boxing gloves have been ordered by the department of physical education for use in men's gymnasium work this quarter, and plans are being made to lay considerable stress on boxing as a sport.
Physical education for men will be along recreational lines, according to Coach W. O. Hamilton, director, and little time will be spent in teaching skills such as physical coordination and had extensive practice in marching during the regime of the S. A. T. C.
There will be no technical training
accept for men who intend to become
residents.
"It is prabable," said W. O. Hamilton, director of athletic works, "that this term men who do not report for gymnasium or who have unexcused cuts will be dropped from their other classes at once instead of waiting until the end of the term."
Mines Bureau Car Gives Instruction to Students
"The class in first aid begin at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon," said J. S. Rogers of Pittsburg, who is in charge of the instruction. "These courses are especially recommended for mining students. The training will be in the car in the afternoons and at night. Tonight at 7:45 o'clock we will give an illustrated lecture at Haskell. These films which we have, show mine rescue work. We will also demonstrate bandaging and first aid."
Two new courses for students in mining engineering are being offered this week at the government bureau of mines car near the Santa Fe depot. One course is mine rescue; the other, first aid. To complete a course of fifteen hours work in first aid at the car three hours work a day will be required, the course in mine rescue is ten hours and requires two hours work a day.
The car is open to visitors, either University students or town people, and they are invited to inspect the car.
The mine bureau car, which is sent out by the Department of the Interior, is paying its second visit to the University. It was here a short time before Christmas. It is one of the new $30,000 steel cars which the bureau * mines owns.

R.O.T.C. Plan Rejected By Senate For Fear Of Militarism Evils
University Law Makers Had Close Vote in Deciding Question
By a close vote in the proportion of 4 to 3, the University Senate voted not to establish a Reserve Officers Training Corps in the University. The vote was cast at the special meeting of the Senate December 19. The reasons expressed for rejecting the proposal for the R, O, T, C were that such an organization would serve to spread militarism, and that until the peace terms were definitely determined it would not be known just what sort of system of R, O, T, C the War Department would institute.
Senate members who opposed establishing the R. O. T. C. and who held the controlling vote argued that if such an organization were started at Kansas University the War Dept department later might make military training compulsory in colleges and universities which have the R. O. T. C.
The majority opinion of the members of the Senate was that the University would profit by waiting until peace terms were fixed absolutely, and then deciding whether military training was advisable. Some faculty members believe there will be no military training at all, when conditions are anrain normal, and that it would be unwise to continue with a course when there is a possibility that it might be discontinued in a few weeks or months.
Aid in Choosing Vocation Is Suggested in Letter
Judge J. C. Ruppenthal Points to Research Work in High Schools
To The Daily Kansan:
A sermonette by Eulala Dougherty in your issue of December 16 interested me. It deplored the want of a definite aim in life in the studies of the average student. Suggestion is to begin with an essay entitled senate or other board of personal advisers to help students to a choice or life vocations.
The writer does not mean to enter into that discussion, but wishes to draw attention to data collected on this subject two or three years ago. Frank R. Aldrich, then superintendent of the school of Russell, and later of Hiawatha, took up the matter of choice of vocation by high school students, as the subject of his thesis for the Master's degree at the Chicago University. He obtained reports of thousands of students in the high schools of Kansas, and of a number of the states adjoining Kansas. He discussed the extent (very small indeed) to which students choose a life work while in high school or earlier, and considered further the various influences that led to such choice, such as reading, teachers, parents, etc. In any consideration of choice of vocation by the students of Kansas University it may be helpful to note analogous work in the high schools.
Lieut. Paul H. Royer, '114, has been cited for special bravery in action at St. Milhiel. Mr. Royer was with the 26th Division which relieved the marines at Chateau Thierry and later played an important part at St. Milhiel. He was sent back to the United States in October and was stationed at Camp Pike, Ark., as instructor. He received an honorable discharge several weeks ago and is now practising law at Abilene.
Lieutenant Royer, F14,
Mentioned in Dispatches
The University has long been familiar with "two star" alumni (graduates who are children of graduates of the University of Kansas.) Are there any students or have there been, whose parents and grandparents, or any parent and his-her parent who have been students at the University of Kansas? If not, that day of dignity for the school on Mount Oread must soon come.

French Towns Bought By American Forces For Use as Targets
Capt. J. S. Alford Says Men Will Be Better Americans for Visit to Europe
"The men who have been fighting in France will come back better Americans, more appreciative of what their country is and has to offer them after they have seen conditions in Europe," said Capt. Joseph S. Alford, A.B.04.01, who was in Lawrence Saturday for a brief visit with his mother, Mrs. S. J. Alford, after his return from service of six months with the 35th Division. Captain Alfred arrived in France June 8 after an eventful landing.
"We were attacked twice the sum night by submarines as we were going to Europe, but none of the ships of our convoy was lost. From the way the depth charges dropped by the destroyers shoot our transports, making the shaft rattle, and the whole ship seem to lift from the water. I don't see how any submarine could stand the shock. And there were no depth charges exploded less than half a mile from us, either.
France on the Zeelandia December 10 and arriving at Newport News December 22. He has been assigned to Fort Douglas, at Salt Lake, and left for that place Saturday night.
"The work of the destroyers was marvelous to see," continued Captain Alford. "Those little boats have the quickest getaway of anything I have ever seen. It takes a mighty little time for a destroyer to get to the place where a submarine is located, and it sees a sub and signal the convoy, the whole fleet moves off on new lines, for all the world like a football maneuver.
Captain Alfred spent a few days in England before going to France for final training. He was with the 35th division during its service in Argonne forest, and was with the 81st at Verdon the day the armistice was signed.
"The men of the 35th did mighty good work in the Argonne forest," declared the captain, as he described the fighting of the week before the end of hostilities. The infantry of the 35th was relieved a few days before the end, but the artillery, to which Captain Alford's medical unit was attached, remained on duty because the 1st artillery still was in training.
"There were a few stray shells after 11 o'clock of the 11th," said Captain Alford, "but almost at the hour a most unnatural silence fell. That night all the troops, both the ties and the decorations by which they were counted of colored signals. The Germans seem as glad as he Allies to have the war end."
In describing the training undergone by the American troops, Captain Alfred told of the purchase by the Americans of several French towns to be used as targets for the American artillery. These towns were either those which has been badly damaged by shell fire of the enemy or, having been the scene of some epidemic, were unfit for habitation.
Captain Allford's unit penetrated beyond the Hindenburg line in the Argonne, and was in the army of manneuvre in the St. Milhul drive. He said it was true that the attackers were found hot on the fires when the Americans arrived, but he did not have the opportunity to taste any of the food.
"Another thing that impressed me," continued Captain Alfred, "was the way the K. U. boys in the Argonne drive put into practice the prayers they had learned back in the old United States."
Particularly high praise is given the work of the Red Cross by Captain Alford.
Fossil Requires Platform
Fossil requires Platform
On account of the length of the huge fossil lizard, which H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the Department of Paleontology, is assembling, it has been necessary to build a platform in the opening between the second and third floors of the museum. The fossil will be fitted together on the platform and taken through the window into the south end of the museum.

Regular class work will be held Wednesday, New Year's Day, according to a decision of the University Senate.

Plain Tales From the Hill
There were many disappointments among the women uniform worshippers this morning when their S. A. T. c. veterans who had looked so well in khaki, appeared on the campus in their civilian clothes.
"Oh," wailed one of the disillusioned creatures, as she watched her young Sir Galahad approach, "he looks like a coral, and he even wears a derby."
It's here! The old time regime, that was usurped by the establishment of a training camp at the University of Kansas has asserted its rights and has come into its own.
Yes, he's back from training camp as a second lieutenant and they say he'll wear his uniform as long as there are any privates to salute him. Aw, can't you let a lieut swell 'round a bit?
It is being planned by some of the authorities on the Hill to build an annex to the town in order to hold some of the returned lieuts.
It is almost impossible for the town to hold some of them now, but just think what it will be as time passes. A good story always increases with age, and by the time their grandchildren are old enough to listen to their yarns and not be bored, it will be the S. A. T. C. licatus that run the Huns out of their trenches and made them holler "Kamarad."
No all that wear leather puttees are not officers. So it was discovered during the vacation. Before the men who have been in the S. A. T. C. returned to their home towns according to t he clothiers of Lawrence, a large number of them dropped in at the stores and bought them new serge suits, officers cut, and Cordovans.
"It would be just as sensible to have a contest to see which man has the longest ears as it is to stage a beauty contest," announced one of the most popular woman fusers on the Hill this morning.
"You know," he said as he nonchalantly stroked his enviled blonde pompadour, "they don't have 'em here Beauties don't seem to thrive in K. U climate."
"Ain't it orfell though," said one of the men who is still wearing his O. D issues, "that Christmas and the mobilizing of the Student Army Training Corps had to come at the same time?"
Pay of Veterans Melts Under K. U. Demands
The part of the army song about "thirty dollars every month, they dock you twenty-nine," was almost literally true for all the men of the S. A. T. C. who received their December pay. By the time their pay was docked for insurance, Liberty bonds, United War Work Campaign subscrip-tion, the men had precious little left for their best girl's Christmas present, but on top of all that as soon as they left the gym they were met by Lynn Hershey and his force collecting for the cuts in the Jayhawker and about a dozen sorority girls begging them to subscribe for a Jayhawker from them so that their candidate might receive the 500 votes.
Final plans have been made by the University of Colorado for the construction of a women's dormitory, a gymnasium for men and a social center building. The social center house is a room for dancing, rooms for the Home Economics department, and a cafeteria.
By the time these unfortunate victims of collectors got as far as an Brick's they didn't have much more than enough left to buy a chocolate malted milk. And the best girl will have to go without, or else Dad will have to be called on for another loan.
Expect 2500 Students Will Enroll in K. U. For Second Quarter
College Claims 1500 as Its Share Dean Patterson Says
Many Army Men Returning
Credit to Be Granted Men Withdrawing to Attend Training Camps
Registration and enrollment at the University began at 8 o'clock this morning and continued throughout the day. Students were lined up in front of Registrar George O. Foster's office in Fraser Hall at 7:30 o'clock this morning to register and the line grew in size as the day progressed. The gymnasium was crowded with students who had come to enroll and faculty members seemed pleased with the showing. Enrollment was conducted in the same manner as in former years, students drawing numbers for their places in line and entering by classes.
Although it is too early to make an accurate statement as to the number, Dean D. L. Patterson of the College estimated that there would be 1,500 students in the College and at least 2,500 in the entire University.
"A full schedule is being offered by the College, with 241 courses in twenty-five different departments," said Dean Patterson.n "More students have reported than we exported and it is sertain the University will have returned to a definite peace basis in a better world." And men will be returning every week and this will materially boost the enrolment."
Classes this term will begin on the half-hour instead of the hour, as was the case the last semester of last year. Work will begin in earnest tomorrow moning, according to Dean Patterson and the first class will be at 8:30. The new arrangement calls for 50-minute periods instead of the 45-minute periods in the S. A. T. C. The last regular class will begin at 3:30 in the afternoon and conclude at 4:30. A—Inspis on regular work . . .
"The college will have to get down to solid work in the morning," said Dean Patterson today. "The work has been badly broken up by the S. A. T. C. in the first quarter but from now on, the usual academic work will be insisted upon."
There will be no new instructors in the college this term, but Prof. W. S. Hunter of the department of psychology, assistant Professor Alter of astronomy and Prof. T. S. Smith of the department of physics, who of course, the Army troops have returned to the University and will resume their old places.
"We expect a very successful quarter and hope a large per cent of those who were in the S. A. T. C will return to school," said Chancellor Frank Kruse. "Our remainder of the year will be thoroughly satisfactory to everybody."
Registrar George O. Foster said this morning that a large number of new students had registered at his office but that he could not estimate the number before Tuesday. Students who have been in school only part of the day may not be able to the Administrative Committee of the College and the number of hours credit they will receive will be determined upon soon, according to Mr. Foster.
University Colors Fly Over Fraser Today
All of the new students and many of the old are wondering about the serpent-like penchant which floated above their head the flagstaff on Fraser all day today.
The pennant is, or was, the University colors, red and blue, and is always displayed on the first day of each term. It is hollow, and the slightest breeze will cause it to wave. Soot and age obscure the colors, making the banner resemble a pirate flag more than anything else.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1918.
It seems R. O, T. C. means "Refuse Offer To Co-operate" to the University Senate.
THE SENATE AGAIN
The University Senate closed a successful quarter by voting to "decide upon the desirability of a R. O. T. C. at K. U. next year." It was the Senate's last official act in the old quarter and it entered upon its week of Christmas festivities with the complacent feeling that it had disposed of a troublesome matter wisely.
Now that the Christmas festivities are over, why not resurrect the Senate's last official act and see whether or not the complacent attitude is justified.
In the first place the R. O. T. C, in no way resembles the S. A. T. C. If such were the case, the Senate might be applauded for its action. In the R. O. T. C, there would be none of the military barrenness of life at the barracks; there would be none of the over-military authority; there would be no lack of time for study and no "uplift" entertainments with which to contend. Students in the R. O. T. C, would lead a normal life.
In the second place, the old argument that such a corps here would establish a "military class" will not hold water for a "military class" in a volunteer system established among college boys, many of whom are farmers at least three months out of the year, could not come to pass.
The United States must have trained men ready to direct its armies in times of need. To say there will never be another war, is saying too much for the present standard of morals among nations. Until all nations conform absolutely to the universal doctrine of "Peace on Earth," there will be wars. To be alert and ready to defend "right" is not establishing a military regime. It is the policy of wisdom to be prepared. Our past experience should have taught us that.
Germany has surrendered, but she is not repentant. She will strive to regain her "place in the sun" and in so doing she will not hesitate to strike at the time when the nations of the world are least prepared.
The government offered some three hundred colleges the opportunity of enlarging their curriculums by adding an R. O. T. C to their courses of instruction. The colleges were given the privilege of accepting this opportunity now, not a year from now. A voluntary enrollment of one hundred students was all that was necessary to establish the corps.
Colleges with far less prestige than the University of Kansas have accepted the offer and to those colleges will go the men who are alive to the needs of the country and wish to obtain the training necessary to fit them for its defense.
Fairmount college in Kansas, with an enrollment in the S. A. T. C. o less than one tenth that of K. U. only one of the many wide awak American institutions to profit by the government's offer.
Was the Senate's action justified? From innumerable indications it was not. The Kansan believes that it is with regret that the majority of students at K, U, give up having the R, O, T, C, at this institution.
One of the joys of a former S. A.
T. C. hd will be sleeping straight
through an 8:30 o'clock class if he so
desires.
HOW D'Y DO GENERAL
General Good Resolution is back.
He's the little guy with the big chest and the big ideas. Nearly everybody knows the General.
He makes a good impression on first appearances and deceives the unwary into believing his fish tales of better times and a new era.
He is a harmless individual ordinarily, although he occasionally causes intense suffering by persisting in his efforts to reform people.
He has been termed a reformist, a faddist, a false prophet, and quite generally is known as a decided nuisance. Because of his rank, he is tolerated temporarily by the majority of persons.
He possesses one of the most automatic personalities on the face of the globe and attempts to dictate to a brew heated public with the high handedness of a Hohenzollern.
He is an impostor, pure and simple. He is as unrelievable as a patent medicine ad and as uncertain as a Kansas whirlwind.
The old familiar saying "Hitch your wagon to a star," still remains a guidepost to success, but hitch your good resolutions to the General and you'll crash into the New Year with a loud noise and a thud.
Don't let the General tempt you into accepting the moss-covered idea that New Year's resolutions will succeed in covering a multitude of sins.
Now that the flui is over you can discard that camphor lavalier.
FROM THE WRECKAGE
The Students' Army Training Corps was organized to give young men over the country a partial college education at the same time it prepared them for military service. While it gave the men a knowledge of the fundamentals of the service and an insight into the beginnings of a few half-hearted college courses, it did not make an S. A. T. C. man a college man.
This, at least, was the experience here. The men were not inculcated with the feelings or manner of a person trained in schools of higher learning. Many of them in tasting college learning found it bitter.
"Yes, it certainly is like old times," said the returned alumnus, gazing into his tubful of assorted bath.
While members of the corps were at college they were not in college. They did not get the experience every University man receives in normal years. As a consequence, the social and scholastic life of the University is just commencing at this late date. Every man who has returned to school will be the more valuable to the University because he decided to come back even after the unfavorable impressions received the first quarter.
Now that the S. Ai T. C. is gone what will the girls do for overseas caps?
A private, scenting a new one,
painting him displayed his fragrant edges
and stains.
"It isn't fit for much is it?" commented the sergeant. "Parade at 2:30 for a coal fatigue."—London Tit-Bits.

WHAT HE WANTED TO SAY
Gently the airplane righted itself and glided to the earth. Released from his seat, the passenger knelt and lifted both hands solemnly.
General Biddle said at a London garden party;
“This here book,’ he growled, ‘don’t tell you what you want to say at all. It tells you how to say the uncle of your mother is 65 years old, or the sister of your wife has bought a cow, or the umbrella of your neighbor is in the attic, but I don't want to say nothing of that kind.

On the backward descent, a mile or more, the passenger clung to the pilot with both arms and never breathed. He resumed its horizonal travelling.
"Only when I let it do so," answered the airman. "No, and then I drop him back on the table."
"Say, look here; didn't you say you wished to flit on high like a gliding sunbeam?" complained the aviator.
"Does it ever fall?" quavered thnovice as the airplane climbed higher and still higher.

"Great heavens!" grasped the novice with relief.
Suddenly the airplane dived and looped the loop, then traveled upside down.
"Hold fast."
"Then shut up. You're going to get your wish."
"Yes," admitted the passenger.
In reminiscences of Lafcadio Hearn by his wife, a Japanese, the following things that were disliked by the erratic genius are enumerated: "He disliked lions, abuse of the weak, Prince Albert coats, white shirts, the city of New York, and many other things." He was fond of the sea and of swimming, of "lonely cemeteryes," of ghost stories, of Martinique, and of such mundane things as beefteak and plum pudding—Outlook.

HOW TO PROMOTE PEACE
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
To the Kansan:
Military life at K. U. has officially passed away, but habits and customs have been formed which could not, like the uniform be tossed aside at the instant of demobilization. The other day two University women were walking down Massachusetts Street. They passed a man in uniform whom they knew and he saluted, for army etiquette does not permit the raising of the hat in salutation. These same women later passed a friend in civilian clothes. Did he raise his hat as in the good old days? Not he. The "snapping" salute has replaced the raising of the hat to ladies.
Innocent of the fact that it lacks the proper spirit of courtesy and respect, many University men have adopted the salute in passing young women on the street. But the men whose courtesy and breeding cannot be accommodated by custom into civilian life, nor allow the military to supplant the chivalrous.
GERMAN BARDWARE
All the latest dope on what you may and what you may not get past the censor is brought up to date for all concerned, which means everybody, including everyone, is re-hashed. Some of the more interesting restraints and releases are here re-hashed.
Inhamach as every doughboy is laden with enough German hardware to open a store, the question of souvenirs has became a burning one.
All enemy property acquired under any circumstances whatever should be turned over at once to an Intelligence officer.
"Have a heart," says the outraged doughboy, who chased a fat German colonel for two kilometres for no other reason than because the girl across the street back home had casually expressed her desire for a Husser's helmet. But, the order goes on to molly him if the trophy is not on her shoulder. If the trophy will be returned to the sender. Such trophies may be of vast importance to the General Staff as giving identification not otherwise verified.
As for sending these souvenirs home. It is absolutely verboten to mail your father a German machine gun, even if you captured it yourself at the point of a bayonet. Indeed, trophies, in general, are forbidden except enemy helmets, caps, badges, numerals and buttons. By by by by the field officer, such written approval to be contained in the package.

There are other limitations on what you may send home in parcels. You may not send any necessities of life. You may not send any clothing, except gloves, handkerchiefs, laces, and such trifles designated as gifts for the folks. And these can be sent only to the United States and Canada. You may not send Government property and you may not send explosives. Whatever desire you may have to send Aunt Lucy a hand grenade you must sternly suppress—Stars and Stripes.

Writes of Experiences
In Hun Prison Camps
Former Engineering Studen
Was Shot Down in Air
Battle Near Verdun
Almost Starved to Death
Red Cross Proved Great Aid to Americans Captured By Hume
Mr. and Mrs. James Gavine of Abilene, received a letter from their son, Lieut. Hugh Gavine, former student of engineering in the University, and an aviator in the U. S. Army who was taken prisoner by the Germans, and released after the signing of the armistice. The letter reads in part:
In order to give you the straight of things, I suppose it will be necessary to start at the beginning. Although it will mean a long letter. I guess you can find time to read it.
I was brought down September 28, about 11 a.m. our Mournship got up at 4 o'clock in the morning on the day of the beginning of the American drive between Verdun and Argonne Forest. The barrage opened up about 2 p.m. We could hear the roar of the heavy artillery long before we took off. Just as it was, beginning to get light, our squadron had a patrol. We flew up and down the lines at a height of about 14,000 feet. It was a wonderful sight on the ground when it was not yet bright.
GASOLINE GIVES OUT
The attack had not been expected and the aerial activity was not very great on our first patrol. On the way back, a few of the men attacked two biplane machines. In the combat, the gasoline gave out but through using the reserve supply, they were able to get over the lines.
actives diving down on you.
FOKKERS GOT HLM
Upon arriving at the field, our machines were filled with gas and oil and equipped, each with two small bombs. We were ordered out to "strife" German troops, reinforcements, truck trains, etc., which were brought up to the front. This requires flying very low because at great heights one is unable to see troops on the ground and can not fire the guns and drop bombs accurately. When flying low it is much more dangerous than when flying high. Machine guns on the ground. Then, the Archies are much more effective and there is always the danger of enemy machines diving down on you.
Well, that is just what happened to me. We were back about ten miles and had dropped our bombs and were "straffling" a road leading the front. I was flying last man in the formation when a number of Fokkers came diving down, firing at us. In this flight, my gas tank was hit and my pressure went down I turned on my reserve tank and continued in a zig zag course. In the fight which followed my motor was hit, I knew all was over then and that I had no chance of getting back. I started to glide toward ground, enemy machines firing at me all the way down.
My machine was just riddled with holes. Gasoline, water, oil and steam from the engine were coiling back in my face. I was expecting at any minute to catch on fire. My windshield had been shot out from in front of me and my face was cut a little by small pieces of flying glass. I made a landing without breaking up. They dived down on me after I had landed, firing a few bursts. I unblocked my belt, dropped down in the cock pit as if I had been hit and they flew off and left me.
I then got out of the machine and was taken to a dugout where I was questioned. From theme they took me to a higher officer in another dugout. After finishing with him, I was taken out and turned over to a number of guards. They all took out a clip of cartridges and loaded their guns. I was standing up against a stone wall. I thought I had done something they did not approve of and was to be shoe. Instead, they were only taking a little precaution against my escape. If I remember my knees were trembling just a little at that moment. They then brought in another lieutenant by the name of Evans who had been brought down. He was wounded in the leg and his head had been bruised a little in landing.
We started out on a march and walked steadily until about 8 o'clock at night. Then we were met by a car and rode for about half an hour, arriving at a little town by the name of Joef, north of Metz. By that time I was so tired I could hardly move and was going to sit down. We had no water, or dinner. When we reached Joef, we were kept at a
guarded house where we met two more aviators, who had been brought down in a bombing raid. They had had a very narrow escape, but I have not time to mention it here. Later two infantry officers, another aviator from our squadron and an engineer were brought in.
ZERO STUFF IN FOOD
ZERO STOCK IN FOOD
In the morning I got a small piece of black bread which I frightful of a little jam made out of sugar beets, and a cup of cream from roasted potatoes. This was the first meal I had bad since the morning before. At noon and evening we received a bowl of soup made of cabbage, carrots and I can't guess what all. Anyway I know I had never seen anything like it before. Sometimes we might receive a side dish at noon, of a bowl of soup, but that was seldom. We remained at this place four days.
We were then sent to the prison at Karlshrue which is a sort of a distribution point. We stayed ten days at this place, locked up in a hotel. I never came so near starving in my life as I did while there. We received norn coffee in the morning a bowl of soup for dinner and a side dish of either sauer kraut, potatoes slaw or sometimes fruit they called it—made of the culls from the cider mill. No one could eat it. It was awfully disagreeable there. We were locked up in a small room with frosted windows and nod nothing to read. We got so hungry we were willing to eat anything. I was fortunate in having a little money on me and was able to get the guarls to buy some extra bread or anything. For these we hiked any ridiculous prices. We all learned to get out in a small room about twenty feet from an hour a day to get a little fresh air. The most disagreeable
few square for a hour a day to get a little fresh air. The most disagreeable part of all was that the place was just 'full of fleas and lice.'
RED CROSS TO THE RESCUE
On November 16 we left this place for Villingen. We were told we were going straight back but we stayed there ten days. While there I met Colonel Brown who was captain of my company at Fort Riley. At Villinger we were given our parole and were able to see German troops when they came back. They were in awful condition. It must have been a sad affair for a lot of them but they took it very well.
WE were then sent to a camp in a park in town. This place was sur rounded by a board wall and barricade wire. We lived in wooden barracks and were able to take a bait twice a week and eat all of we received R.C. Cross issues of food twice a week. With this and the Hun food were able to get along quite well. From there we were sent to Landeshut, a camp for American flyers only. We lived in the court yard of an old castle built in 1100 and furnished by the King of Bavaria but who never lived in it. We were in wooden barracks and live quite comfortably. The Hun food was much better here and the Red Cross issue was very good. At this place we received inoculation for typhus, typhoid and cholera. We were at this place when the revolution broke out. We thought things were going to be serious but they were not. We were all moved into stone barracks and given extra guards. Frequently we could hear living in the town but we were not disturbed.
We left there November 26 and were told we were going straight through Switzerland. In $ ^{a} $ Switzerland we received a wonderful reception—one that I shall long remember. Large crowds met us at every station and treated us simply grand. The Red Cross had something to eat in every town and the civilians loaded us with chocolates, cigarettes, etc. We arrived in France December 1st.
ON LIFE I went to a house party not long ago and met there a dear old lady with fluffy white hair and sad eyes; a little old lady who had known the pangs of parting and sacrifice, had to leave and lost. And she told to me that a wondering seeing look in her eyes.

"I wouldn't give up one of the sorrows that I have had to bear. I wouldn't give up one of them! They've been part of my life."
I saw a man, a very old man, yesterday. His hair and his beard were white. He was quite tall. But I noticed that in his face, when I drew near him, was curiously unlined.
"Somehow," I said to my companion, "that man's face doesn't match him. Somehow he seems a bit wrong. He has the forehead of a child."
"Probably," answered my companion, "he has the mind of a child, too, and the reasoning power of a child. A face with no lines on it, an old face, is not particularly desirable. It isn't only sorrow that leaves its mark. Thought and deep feeling and sympathy leave their lines, too!"

K. U. Exceeds Quota In Red Cross Drive For Additional Members
Sum of $684 Was Subscribed by Faculty and Students
trar
Other Pledge Funds Suffer
Students and faculty at K.U. again cleared the top when they over-subscribed their quota of $600 in the Red Cross membership drive which ended here last week, U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the finance committee, said today.
If You haven't Paid Up, Pay Up
— Urges Foster, Regis.
The sum of $684 has been turned in to the fund. Professor Mitchell says this amount will be increased somewhat by late subscriptions. The campaign was practically finished and all money except five dollars was truned in by the end of the quarter.
Pledges to other funds have not been paid, according to George O. Foster, registrar, and treasurer of the United War Work fund. Of the $14,000 pledged to the War Work fund, $9,000 has been paid up. There still remains $5,000 to be contributed by the students. This should be turned in as early as possible at the office of the registrar.
Pledges to the student loan fund, made early last fall, are still in arrears. Students have apparently forgotten their pledges to this fund, Mr. Foster said today. Of the $1600 subscribed, only $200 has been turned in
The demobilization of the S./A. T. C. is believed to be one of the chief causes for the non-payment of pledge debts.
"Early in the fall the men were generous with their money," said Mr. Foster. "But when their pay stopped, the payment of pledges stopped. We hope, of course, that these men will do their best to meet our subscriptions. Students who fail to return to the University this quarter are not relieved of obligations assumed early in the school year where payment is at all possible," said Mr. Foster. "The University depends on the promises of its students and expects them to fulfill their obligations."

'Change Shirts, huuh- Impossible Army Order
Because of the poor impression being made on the feminine inhabitants of the campus by the doughboys of Companies E and H, an explanation is demanded in the cause of human justice. The men of these companies appear dishevelled and careworn. Their clothes need cleaning and pressing. They haven't had the pep and snap of the other companies in the last week or so, for their morale is undergoing a heavy strain.
It's simply because the wool uniforms promised them have failed to arrive. More than a week ago when the Liberty trucks backed up to the various barracks and left bales and bales of wearing apparel, the extra clothing of the two companies was collected. Every man contributed one shirt and one pair of trousers in expectation of woolens in a day or so. But the other clothing has never arrived, so E and H have been indulging in an involuntary laundry boycott ever since.
Rumors galore as to woolen suits have been going the rounds in Barracks 6 and 8, but none has arrived yet. Two trucks went to Leavernworth early in the week for the clothing, says one rumor, while another alleges that plenty of blouses are in the quartermaster's storeroom, but the trousers haven't come yet. It's getting colder every day and khaki isn't much protection, they say. And besides, everyone has a desire to knock*cow* cold with a wool unie when he goes home.

Trapping Wild Animals at K.U.
Tappers along the Yukon might take a hint or two from Charls Griffith defends the much abused skunk, at the University of Kansas, who has had singular success in bagging wild game on the University campus for the last three winters.
Chief Engineer of Power Plant Catches
Rabbits for Pie and Skunks for Pelts
The fur industry in Lawrence in its infancy met with opposition from post office authorities, who objected chiefly to the name of the furs sent by parcel post to an eastern house. They have since become neutral.
The fur industry began in a small way.
Mr. Griffith and his family are fond of juicy fried rabbit and Mr. Griffith, seeing small triangular tracks in the snow decided that his chance for a series of rabbit dinners was good, so he baited a trap. A soapbox with an apple under it was prop up on the edge of the rocky bank directly across the road from the Engineering Building.
In the morning, Mr. Griffith found a large rabbit, and the Griffiths dined. The box was baited and the process repeated.
RABBITS START IT
MR. SKUCK GETS HIS
Behind the power plant is a pit where surplus steam is condensed. With some anxiety, Mr. Griffith picked up a form supporting an animal under the box and proceeded to the pit where the skunk, after a few perfunctory struggles in the water, breathed his last. Late that same day his glossy black hide was hung up to dry.
One morning however, Mr. Griffith discovered a skunk in the trap Here was a problem.
MR. SKUNK GETS HIS
That night the trap on the edge of the rocks contained, instead of the usual apple, a slab of rabbit meat—the invitation for more skunks. So the rabbit trapping industry grew to polt gathering. During the season Mr. Griffith trapped one 12 pound skunk and many smaller ones, together with several civet cats and opossums.
"I'll bet that was the first skunk hide that was ever sent through the parcel post out of Lawrence," chucked Mr. Griffith, yesterday as he told of his hunting experience. Mr. Griffith defends the much abused skunk.
Employment Bureau Raps Business Men
POST OFFICE SNIPPS
Mr. Griffith chuckled as he told his first attempt to send a skunk hide to an eastern hide house, through the mail. Post office regulations do not permit the handling of malodorous packages. But, due to the peaceful method used by the skunk's life, meth was free from odor as a rabbit's. The Lawrence post office force however, had to be convinced, and the box containing the hide was opened and everybody gingerly took a sniff, before the package was permitted to go its way.
The boys are being demobilized now. They are driving the "Y" secretary frantic in a vain attempt to locate jobs for next term. What you do, Mr. Business Man, must be done today. Tomorrow they will be gone, carrying with them some opinions of your patriotism that might not be
NO BODY LOVES A SKUNK
"Askun is as bright and as pretty an animal as there is," he said. "Just because of its peculiar method of defense the whole world is against him."
Some who have replied seem to have failed to get the idea. It is not so much, are you obliged to have help, but will you make an opportunity for some deserving boy to remain in school. Many boys are before the door that opens to successful careers. Each day they see that door slowly closing in their faces, when a small matter of fun, to tend, might be necessary to keep up with them. They were willing to fight for your peace and the protection of your property and now its up to you to help them fight for an education and a chance to make good in the armies of industry and commerce.
Dr. Henry Urges Lawrence People to Make Openings For S.A.T.C.Men
The response to the appeal sent out by the Y. M. C. A. employment bureau for situations for S. A. T. C. men who want to remain in the University has not been as generous as was expected. In fact it is so far below what it should be that one might assume the business men have had enough of S. A. T. C. men, and do not care to interest themselves further in their welfare.
When asked if he intended to extend his trapping to other campus animals he smiled and replied:
"There aren't any other animals on the campus except squirrels and—well, I wouldn't harm squirrels; they're different."
pleasing to a thorough-going American citizen. They will express their sentiments when they get home and it might damage 'the University, the city and you personally.'

To look at North College, one would think that one of the ruined chateaux of France had been transported to the University perhaps to give the student soldiers a true-to-life representation of the "shell torn-homes of France." If you're one who has been thinking this, your supposition is a good one, but slightly incorrect. North College stands today only half carried away because no one has been persuaded that the other half of the debris is worth the trouble of carrying it away. The University has no longer any authority over what is to be done with the remains of North College. More than a year ago the building was sold to a contractor by the name of Col. Dale Hilming, who been tearing down the building only when he receives an opportunity to sell some of the old bricks or lumber. For the last six months no one has been found who has any use for any part of hat is left of North College, so it still stands half in ruins reminding passers-by of the vivid descriptions they have read of the homes of France that have been left in just as disreputable condition.

Recommendations for the discharge of ten of the lieutenants who have been in command of the companies here has been sent into departmental headquarters at Chicago according to the commander, and the men will probably be released about January 28. None of the men will remain in the lieutenants' reserve and all will get discharges in a few weeks. The officers' will go from here to their homes and schools.
all but twenty-eight of the twenty- all hundred men, members of the Students' Army Training Corps, have received their discharges, but the twenty-eight are still in the service receiving medical attention. Nine of the men have been taken to Fort Riley for treatment at the base hospital there, and the rest are at Lawrence hospitals. The War Department will not discharge any of these men until they are in as good physical condition as they were when they entered the student army, said Captain Hatch.
The barracks are the property of the University and will be disposed of by the Kansas University authorities. The three on the Hill will probably be kept and the others sold to a salvage company, with instructions to remove them at once.

Crimson and Blue Sung from Christmas Truck In Washington
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 31, 1918
Among the war workers of Washington are four former students of the University of Kansas. They are Katherine Oreulp, Gladys Rice, Itaes Hilman and Mrs. Frances A. Guy.
These young women under the chaperonage of Mrs. E. R. Boughton of Washington were helpers in distributing Christmas gifts to the wounded soldiers of Washington, D. C. They gave particular attention to the Kansas boys and saw that they received gifts.
The use of a large truck was donated to the girls by the Army Motor Corps. The truck was filled with fruits, candy, books, tobacco, cigarettes and games. The large Christmas truck attracted much attention as it passed through the streets of Washington.
The strains of Crimson and Blue were added to the Christmas songs that were sung as the gifts were given to the wounded soldiers of the Walter Reed hospital.

The New York Tribune is represented with visitors at the niversity this week in the persons of Miah Hannah Mitchell, a former student, and Glendon Allvine, A. B. '17. Miss Mitchell is a serial writer on women's topics and a member of the Tribune's Washington staff. Mr. Allvine is exchange editor.
Miss Mitchell is visiting her moth ee, Mrs. A., C. Mitchell, 212 Missia sippi Street, Mr. Alvine is at the Pt Uppon House, but is spending most of his vacation at the home of his parents in Kabsas City, Mr. Alvine majored in journalism at the University, was a member of the Kansan Board and of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity.
"She couldn't have done what she did if she hadn't been a Kansan, even in those war torn days of the Revolution," said Miss Mitchell. "The most distinctive war change in the 'University' and, in fact in the whole state, is the way the Molly Pitchers have sprung up on every side. While women are doing more work, jobs and more diversified than ever before back East, there is not in Washington or New York an eastern cities, I am aware, the activity of women in learning things, political, business and social, educational that there is in Kansas. Why, it's just amazing. Molly Pitcher certainly has the range in Kansas and she's laying down a barrage of proof of woman's effectiveness in man's work parallel in results and spirit to the effectiveness of that Molly Pitcher in the Revolutionary War."
Miss Mitchell and Mr. Alvine took a vote this morning and decided unanimously that Molly Pitcher was a Kansan.
Both are spending Christmas vacations in Kansas and made their pilgrimages to the Hill in rounding out a well spent vacation.
Out of that very simple, plain room,
she made a home. As the time demanded,
it could serve as a library,
living room, study hall, or even a dining room, for on the shelf in the closet, she had a store of dishes and a supply of entables. This room became home.
Not Much is Needed To Make Rooms Home
The straight chairs were always just as straight, of course, but somehow they did not look so lain and stiff after she had moved in. The rocker held a illow which was one of the things she brought, thinking she might need it.
The study table, she covered with a scarf of crash towelling edged with an inexpensive lace. The lable was moved from the side of the room to a corner near the window so the granium might get more of the sunlight. And soon a bright, cheery, red blossom was thanking her for her trouble.
She was a freshman at K. U. At home, her room was unusually comfortable, but adapting that room to serve as a house full of rooms had not been necessary. She lived at home, and the entire house was hers as she wanted to use it.
The rom which she rented was a plain room, almost severely plain. There were two straight chairs, a rocker, a study table and a small bookcase, a dresser and a bed.

Prof. A. L. Owen Urged By National Council to Take Appointment
Prof. Arthur L. Owen, head of the department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures at the University of Kansas has been asked by the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. to accept the position of director of all instruction in Spanish in the educational program for the United States soldiers in Europe.
Professor Owen would be required to enlist in the army and probably would be given a commission. The instructors under him would be officers and enlisted men. Although he would be in the army Professor Owen would be under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. He would be asked to report for duty one month from his date of acceptance. The director of the National War Work Council in his communication to Professor Owen asked him if he could stay in the position of director until next December if he accepted. Professor Owen, however, feels that he could not stay away that long because he would be needed in the organization of the work for his department here at the University next fall. He said today that he would be more likely to accept the position if he were assured that he would be released at the end of the summer so that he could return to the United States in time to be here when the University opens in the fall.
A. Erskine, chairman of the
John Overseas Commission of the Y.
M. C. A., has written to Chancellor
Strong asking him if the University
would be willing to grant Professor
Owen a leave of absence if he accepted
this position. No decision had been
made by the University today on
whenever it would permit Professor
Owen to leave or not.
There are 10,000 men in the army in Europe who are studying Spanish and this number will be greatly increased when the instruction in the language is fully organized into a department of the educational work. The Y. M. C. A. Army Overseas Commission on Educational Work is planning to give the soldiers who are kept in European instruction several hours a day in courses that will be a benefit to the men in the work that they will take when they return to the civilian occupations. They are planning to send about 2000 instructors immediately for positions in the work.
Miss Hannah Mitchell, an alumna member of Epsilon chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, national journalism fraternity at the University of Kansas, has been appointed by the Grand Council of the fraternity to organize an alumna chapter at Washington, D.C, where many members of Theta Sigma Phi are engaged in newspaper work or in government service.
Students of the University who wish to take work in stenography and type-writing this term will have a chance to do so, according to Miss Margaret Lynn. Last term some students wanted a course that included this work in order to prepare for civil service examinations.
Theta Sigma Phi to Have Chapter at Washington
Stenography Classes
Arranged for Students
Among the Theta Sigma Phi's in Washington are: Alice Blowby, University of Kansas, who is with the Nation's Business; Katherine Davis, University of Kansas, with the Washington Herald; Emily Newell Blair, honorary member from the University of Missouri chapter, with the Council of National Defense; Margaret MeBride, University of Missouri, in the office of the sergeant-at-arms of the senate; Margaret McGowan, University of Missouri, who is doing public work.
The unsettled conditions of the first quarter of school with the vacation coming from the influenza epidemic caused the preparations for such a course to be discontinued. The promise was made that stenography and typewriting would be offered in some other way later. Arrangements have been made for a class in this work, Miss Lym has announced, and she desires all students interested to see her in Room 201, Fraser Hall.
Enrollment Continues In Various Schools Of the University
New Students Registered Number 52—Finish Listings Saturday
Although Monday was the official day for registering and enrolling, many students are enrolling today and registration and enrollment will continue until Saturday, Registrar George O. Foster says. Between two and three thousand students have enrolled but no accurate figures can be obtained until next week. Fifty-two new students registered yesterday.
The School of Engineering has approximately sixty upperclassmen and one hundred freshman. From all indications the upperclassmen will invest in a paid job said.
100. One hundred fifty-two students have enrolled in the School of Education, which is about the same as last term *The School of Fine Art has 197 so far. The total enrollment for this term will be larger, Dean Butler says.*
Only forty-five students are enrolled in the School of Pharmacy but the number may increase if its former students obtain releases from military service. No estimate can be given of the Graduate School until later.
No figures are available as to enrollment in the College of Libera Arts. ...
Many former students are enrolling in the School of Law, but the exact number of students will be announced later.
Student Council to Set Day for Class Elections
Early Nomination of Tickets is Urged by Herschel
Washington
"The time for the class elections has not been set definitely," said Herschel Washington, president of the Men's Student Council this morning. "A meeting of the Council has been called for Wednesday night, when it will be decided what is to be done in regard to the elections."
Theta Sigma Phi will meet with Mary Smith at the Alemania House, 23 East Thirteenth Street, Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock. Miss Hannah Mitchell of Washington and Mrs. Charles Sweet, alumna members of the chapter, will be guests at the meeting. Several members will be elected. Journalism students who have finished their sophomore year are eligible for membership.
"I wish to urge all classes to get out tickets at once," he continued, "as the election will be soon. There should be some good competition in all the classes. So far, however, only one ticket has been announced, in the senior class."
Class elections usually are held near the opening of the University year, but the influenza and abnormal conditions of school prohibited them this year. The election was then called for December 12, but was postponed till after the holidays because it was announced of the lack of regulations concerning the election and its date probably will be issued after the meeting of the Student Council, Wednesday night.

Annual Election Held For School of Law Today
The School of Law elected officers at a meeting of the school this morning. Fred C. Stringfellow, junior, was elected president; Walter F. McGinnis, junior, vice-president; Glenn V. Banker, junior, secretary; and Mark H. Adams, middle, treasurer.
The junior, middle, and senior classes of the School elected officers individually in former years, but the custom was changed this year, so that there will be no class officer for officers for the entire school. Plum for Uncle Jimmy Green will be much soon.
Girls and fellow sufferers, prepare! For lo, they will be throat upon yo again. At practically every fraternity meeting, last night, the question of making fraternity calls was discussed. One of the Kappa Sig freshman can not understand why the calls are only to last from 7 to 8 o'clock.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Every sorority must have a freshman man who has one of the popular muskrat fur curs in order to be able to look the other sororities in the face.
Some of the things that are taugh to the men in the army will stifle with them even after their training is over. At one of the college interns last night, one of the rookie freshmen, who had just finished eating his dinner, picked up his plate and started to take it to the kitchen to wash it.
A few of the sororites were S.O.L.
before Christmas, but since the vacation all but one of *em* can at least be in school is passed from one sibling to another.
The less fortunate Greeks are now out looking for new material on the Hill, who has a new fur coat.
The women on the Hill are beginning to get worried. The fraternities have been in their highest two days and it is rumored that some of them have planned all their dances for the rest of the year—but none of the women has dates for them. Arg they to be Stag parties?
It is very probable that the Kappus, Gamma Phi Betas and Alemannies will combine forces and have a common mess hall at the cafeteria. The cooks of Lawrence have gone on a strike.
The girl who wears her rubbers to please her mother--and no hat--was on the Hill in the snow storm this morning.
Pants Murphy is fast losing his fame as the dancing master of the University of Kansas. His rival is now Johnnie Olds—and a freshman guy, at that. It is said that the reason Pants is losing his prestige is that he is not able to compete with the writhing, contorted movements o Johnnie's lithe body.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1918.
To spend New Year's Day going to class will be something new, but it will also be something in the way of a celebration. It is about the first time you have had a chance to go to class freely and uninterruptedly, isn't it?
AFTER THE WAR—WHAT?
The time has come—the good old days are here again. There is no more war, or influenza, or S. A. T. C., or sitting around waiting to be called, or K. P., or being marched to educational movies, or complaining about the food, or orating about the unrest that is everywhere. The excitement is over, and every one can settle down to the ante bellum monotony for which he has mourned the past two years.
The day of the alibi has passed, too. The main thing in the University this quarter is the pursuit of knowledge. Military duties will no longer serve as a valid excuse to get students out of things they should do. The students who did not care for the regular academic activity of the University have not come back. With the comparatively small enrollment this quarter, there will be fewer interruptions and less confusion in the arrangement of class work than ever before. The men and women who are on the Hill this quarter are here because they want to go on with their regular college work, or have come back in order to complete it. With a student personnel of this sort, real work and interest in academic affairs should be evidenced.
The calm, uncrowded atmosphere of this quarter's enrollment marked the beginning of the reign of peace at K. U. There is nothing to get excited about, and nothing to complain about. The side shows have closed down, and all the attention may now be given to the main performance.
TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER
There has been an impression for a long time that the weather is democratic—treats everybody alike. You know. When it's sunny, why it's sunny.
Then there's rain. When it rains, it isn't any wetter for an Ounty Belle who grumbles because her clothes get wet than it is for the millionaire's daughter who hates to get her pink satin slippers damp.
Don't let them fool you though! The weather is not democratic. The weather is very partial to some people and treats others like a very much abused 'stephild.'
For instance, take the case of the two girls who last summer marched forth into the fields to help shock wheat. No doubt they did shock it, but that is neither here or there. The point is that those girls went out on the same day and in the same place;
they worked the same number of hours in the same weather. But did the weather treat them alike? It did not!
It never does! Nellie appeared the next week with a healthy tan that was the envy of all her friends who had been longing for a vacation on the sea shore, and Irene had to spend the rest of her summer using freckle cream and skin lotion so that she could appear once more in the society of people, who read advertisements about the "skin you love to touch."
Have I proved my point? No?
Well then, take the case of the man who could not make up his mind between two beautiful girls, both of whom desired to work for him for life.
One day, quite by chance, they both cornered him, and also quite by chance a rain came up and then came down upon them without the siligest notice, and before the young men could summon a taxi.
Now rain is a part of the weather but did it treat these two young ladies alike? No, it did not! One young lady right, and there "cinched" the young man with the help of the weather. The other young lady, due to the same weather conditions, was doomed to remain single for life- or look farther for a husband, to speak more correctly.
The weather, the undemocratic weather, I say, took the beautiful waves out of the one young lady's hair and pasted damp locks in the most unbecoming places on her face and neck, streaked her complexion, ruined her silk hat, made it all droopy, and cheerless looking as if a young nippopotamus had sat on it in several places, and in short, ruined every prospect the young lady (who by the way was in the beauty contest) hat for getting first place.
What did this tricky instrument of the weather do to the other compulsion of the young man? Her hair commenced to curl up in what Robert W. Chambers describes as "adorable little ringlets," her cheeks grew "red as a bright apple," the rain dripped on her mannish little hat merely freshening it up a bit. And the young girl smiled which settled the young man entirely.
The moral of all this is, don't ever be deceived into thinking that the weather is democratic, or in other words, if you are undecided as to whether a girl is beautiful or not, cave it to the weather.
The well-known student who tried to shove by his place in the line was not so noticeable at Monday's registration as he has been formerly. One earns to stand in line in the army.
Wouldn't it be a good idea for every student to make a New Year's resolution, to do his or her best to restores former K. U. pep at the University"
BETTER SKIP THIS ONE
"If you are looking for trouble, meet it half way." The individual who first promulgated this old adage is no longer present to defend it. He found what he was looking for.
Quite recently someone attempted to describe Lawrence as being downright inhospitable.
"It is the most gloomy place I have ever visited," said this individual. "I have roamed the streets for an hour and haven't met a smile."
"And what do you do?" asked the Lawrence man?
"So?" queried a Lawrence stand-patter in a tone that sounded the death knel of the complainer's plaint
"That's probably what the rest of the town is doing—scowling back," retorted the Lawrence gentleman.
"Do?!" said the down and outer, "I scowl back."
"The point is, don't try to kid the other fellow by scowling," he advised. "Get his pick by smiling. Or in other words, if you must make a New Year's resolution, swear to smile and stick to it."
"Yes," continued the disappointed visitor, "everyone I meet scowls at me."

MAKE THE MOST OF IT
Talk not of your weary woes
Troubles are the rest of it;
Life is but a fleeting dream;
Care destroys the best of it;
Swift it glides like a stream.
If your friend has got a heart:
Be yourself, not like them.
Mind you make the best of it Talk not of your weary woes.

Make no heartless jest of it

Worn shoes washed in big steam-
roller tubs the same as your collars
are washed back home, and puncture
and badly-wounded rubber boots
patched and vulcanized by the methods
the tire man uses in the garage—
these are two of the hurry-up ways
in which the Army salvage plant at
Blois is cutting time and labor in
making old shoes and boots into new.
SHOES ARE WASHED
"Ah said fohty cents," replied Ras-
Minneapolis Journal.
Rastus, awakened by reville, got up and, stretching himself, remarked "Man, ah feel like fohty cents this mawin."
In repairing rubber boots, big-scale operations have produced more novel methods. For instance, there's the drying of boots after they have been thoroughly washed. The boots are placed, soles down, over hollow tubes out of which rush continuous blasts of hot air.
No other shoe plant in the world washes shoes in a laundry machine, the salvage men say. Soaking hard-wearing shoes in oil vats is another new feature.
After all the torn parts have been cut away and the edges cleaned—perhaps the whole heel and half of the sole must be taken off—the boot is shoved in an iron last of exact size. Expert tire repair men then build up new fabric in the holes, using strips of thick material necessary. Then the boot is clamped in a steam-frame and baked until the new parts are as solid as the old.
Shoes that can't be repaired are not the upsets. French girls shred the uppers, making shoe strings, each makes a matte look or more strings.

The most frequently misspelled words in the newspapers are, according to a sharp, patient watcher: "Haled," as in the sentence "haled into court"—it is often spelled "halled"; and "identify," which curiously enough enought in instance after inference. The word "estacy" is often spelled "estacy," which is often spelled "ectacy" or "cestacy."—Ladies Home Journal.
The Goddess of Liberty is French not American, as so many think. The phrase was given historical importance on October 5, 1789, when a starving mob of female furies, with canon, guns and pistols and horses rushed out of Paris to Versailles and charged the palace where Louis XVI and the members of his court were roeyestering and feasting. A deputation of twelve women was selected to present the appeal of the people, and this group in turn set forth the demands they gained for her beauty, as the leader of the delegation. As this revolutionary Joan of Arc approached the king she fainted, but when she recovered she won the good will of Louis. She obtained his promise of relief for the poor, and the king there upon bedecked her with flowers and hailed her as "the Goddess of Liberty."—Ladies Home Journal

Airplanes of less wing-spread than some of the largest abstrata of the South Seas are being produced in England, according to Popular Mechanics (Chicago, November). Says this magazine

"The wings of these tiny machines extend only 15 feet, while albatross have been known to measure 17 and 18 feet from tip to tip. It is considered likely that aircraft of this type will prove valuable to the aerial mail service after the war is won. Large machines will no doubt be used for long non-stop flights, but for maintaining interurban service the small, less expensive planes quite probably will be employed, at least in England, it is contended.

It shows one of the small airplanes taking on fuel in a village street, while a mAIL-bearing parachute floats earthward from a large "through express" flying aloft.

The Independent Finds Heilenth Improved But Culture Gone
Magazine Appraises
Work of Student Army
The establishment of the S. A. T. C. has brought both gains and losses to the men in it, says a writer in the current number of The Independent.
Among the gains one notice the increase in courtesy and good manners of the students. And the uniform is becoming impressive when seen upon them, though it may not be becoming to the individual taken by himself.
By Board
The health of the students has been promoted by the regular habits of military life. Regular meals, regular physical exercise, and regular hours of school much to show that student that the way of regularity is the way of health.
Another gain is noticed in the increase in the democratic spirit of the college. The strata of social demarcations which are much too characteristic were cut down or very largely demolished.
But the losses in higher educational values are not to be disregarded. Culture, intellectual breadth, have gone by the board. The power of reasoned judgment, of considerateness for contrary principles, of willingness to listen and reflect have been brought into jeopardy.
The many college activities such as the college newspapers, the dramatic clubs, the literary societies, etc., have contributed to the loss of their male members.
Yet the S. A, T. C, has not been a failure. Its advantages have tended to balance its disadvantages. And even if they do not, its establishment was a wartime necessity.

Omicron Nu to Aid In School Lunch Plan
Miss Maud A. Brown, assistant director of physical education in the Kansas City, Mo., schools, addressed a meeting of Omicron Nu recently on the Child Health Organization and its plan for recording the physical development of pupils in the public schools.
The plan was devised by the eminent child health specialist in the Department of Child Health.
Every pupil in the school rdom is weighed and measured once a month and the data recorded on a uniform file. This helps to weigh weights of children, given heights.
Children who are ten per cent under weight are referred to the school physician. In some cases the parents may be appealed to but only about six per cent respond. The services of the nurse, however, increase the results.
In New York only seventeen per cent of the pupils were properly nourished, and twelve per cent were of the worst type of malnutrition.
in New York twenty-four "food scouts" were selected from a group of malnourished pupils. Each of these "scouts" signed a pledge to eat the school lunch at noon and their other meals as planned by a dietation, to sleep ten hours each night, to take a mid-day nap, exercise out doors every day, and to eat a mid-day lunch. The physical and mental development of these "scouts" was then compared with that of other pupils records.
A "Little Mothers League" was a
already organized and the little girls
were asked to help.
The need of improving the physical condition of students is very apparent and the simplicity of the plan of child organization recommends itself.
Plans for introducing the plan in the Lawrence schools are now being considered by Superintendent Kent, the department of home economics.
The active *members of Omicron* Nu assisted by the school nurse will probably take up the work next quarter in the city schools.

K. U. Basket Ball Men Practice for Contest With Ames Jan. 17-18
Early Indications Favorable for Development of Good Quintet
Veterans Back In the Game
High School Stars Try Out for Places—Freshmen to Have Team
With two games with Ames little more than two weeks off, the K. U. basketball team is getting down to practice work in good shape and as soon as Coach W. O. Hamilton returns from New York where he has been attending the national athletic conference, will put in its hardest licks developing a team. No practice could be held Monday, because the faculty had been using the gym for enrolling students, but tonight the men will be out. The Iowa games come January 17-18 at Ames.
Ed. Mason, Ray Bennett, and Uhrlaub are out for guards and are playing good ball. Bennett played with the Jola highs when they were in their prime. This is Mason's first year at the court game but he is making good. Uhrlaub won his letter here several years ago and knows more basketball than most coaches. He is a brother to Dutch Uhrlaub, captain of the five last season. Dutch Uhrlaub will work with the team and help the men along.
Matthews, who won his letter at center last season is out for the jumping position and is making good again. He is a good shot. Slonaker will be out for center also. Slonaker is a Cherryryale man and has played good ball in his prep school career. John Bunn and Marvin Harms are out for the forwards. Bunn won his letter here last season. Harms played good ball with the freshmen and got his start with the Wichita highs. Charles Heizer of Osage City is another good Varsity man, but will spend most of his time with the track men, as he is good with the bamboo pole.
The freshmen team looks good with Gross and Turner of Poly Tech of Kansas City to head the list. Both are good men. Scoop Olson, a Lawrence high school star last season is working well with the yearlings. Gardiner of Arkansas City and Ditson, the Newton star failed to return to school this quarter. The first year men will be able to give the Varsity some hard practice games this season and develop the Verosity.

Thurman's Life Belt To Man Who Didn't Swim
A. W. Thurman of Joplin, Mo., in a letter to the Daily Kanan today gives a letter he received telling of manly and beautiful traits of character that had endeared to men overseas Mr. Thurman's son, Robert, a former K. U. student who fell in battle in France September 27. The letter to Mr. Thurman follows:
At Sea—European Waters.
Mailed November 26, 1918.
Plumage.
Dear Mr. Thrumm.
Just as we get getting through the week for this trip, a fast motor launch ran alongside and tased a bag of mail on our deck. There was a letter for me from Louise dated October 26, telling me that word had come that Bob was killed in action in France a month before.
My dear Mr. Thurman, I wish my poor pencil could put down words gentle enough to say what I feel. The last time I saw Bob was in front of the steps leading to the army recruiting station in Joplin. I was trying to make the aviation school at Pensacola without success, and he did not to be disheartened and made me laugh by his comical sayings, and I went away with a light heart, whereas before I met him I had been feeling awfully blue.
A strange thing happened to me with regard to Bob, I want to tell you about it. It was so beautiful that I wrote my mother about it. A short time ago I made a liberty in Tangier, Morocco. I met a Y. M. C. A. worker there who made the port from a merchantman which was bound for the Eastern Mediterranean. He said he was going to Jerusalem, then on up to some station in Mesopotamia. In exchanging notes I told him I was from Joplin, Mo., and he said his home was in New York. Then he got out a litite notebook from his waistcoat pocket and after searching for sometime, turning over page after page, he showed me written on one page the name, Bob Thurman, Joplin, Mo., and under it, "True blue, a fine fellow. Seems to know that real happiness comes from kindness to others."
Then he went on to tell me how he met Bob coming over on a transport, and how Bob had been the most cheerful and happy fellow in his company, and was the life of his section of the ship; always seemed to be looking out for the comfort of his mates, sharing his cigarettes and such meager little sweets as he had, which men at sea crave dreadfully, with his companions in arms. This man said he was very much drawn to Bob, and if there ever was any man who showed a clean life and an unselfish soul by his eyes and face and buoyant tones of voice, it was Bob. He said he was going to keep in touch with Bob after the war and wished he could get him into Y. M. C. A. work, as his example would be so helpful to others.
But. Bob had already made the supreme sacrifice he, and neither of
us knew it. This man said that what made him first notice Bob was one night at "Abandon Ship" drill. Bob showed up without a life preserver and when the ship officer discovered it and hawled Bob out for it, the man next to him spoke up and said, I have his life-preserver, I could see him. The moment "Abandon Ship" was sounded, and he handed me his while we were racing up the hatch, saying that he could swim and he knows I can't."
You realize, of course, they had no way of knowing but that it was really and truly "Abandon Ship," the real thing, especially as it was after midnight, all hands being broken out of their bunks in the inky blackness. This man said it made him shudder to look out upon the void of black water and he made up his mind to find out about that fellow, and was glad he did. I made a memo of the M. Y. C. A. man's name on a sheet of his notebook with his penkil. He tore the sheet out for me and I put carefully in the band inside my white hat, that is, the lining just above the band. Coming through the surge that night it was awfully large seas and my shipped whipped off my head by the hat that were blowing and lost overboard. I tried to grab it with one hand but I could not catch it, as I was pulling an ear and could only take one hand off for a second as I had to put all my strength to it with both hands. I hated it like everything, not because of the hat but on account of the note in the hat.
My heart is filled with deep sympathy for you and Bob's mother.
When a man marries his troubles are all over. Yes, all over the place. The young lady who wants to catch an aviator for a husband should try flypaper.

But Two Letter Men Return to College; Bradleys Expected Back
New Men Must Win Points For K.U. Track This Year
The University of Kansas track team is going to have to depend in a large measure this Spring on its new men, especially in the earlier indoor meets. Preliminary practice is already under way at Robinson gym, and by the end of the week tryouts will be held for a tentative team for the indoor meet with the Aggies here February 17.
Dewall and Ralph Rodkey are the only letter men in school and both have been working out all winter Rodkey won his letter in the quarter and broad jump last season. He is a brother to Fred Rodkey, the Kansas record holder for the quarter mile Dewall has been training for the distance races and is in good condition. Ogelivie, who ran in some of the meets last season, is in the school of medicine this quarter and will be out for the 2-mile. Russell, a Baker athlete, will be out for the quarter. Russell was on the squad last season but did not get into the meets. Rex Brown is a good cross-country man and may be out for the quarter also.
The Bradley brothers, from Oklahoma, who did some good work during their freshman year, are expected at any time. Charles Heizer, an Osage City athlete, who did some good vaulting during his first year and won his football letter this fall, will be out for the vault and can be counted upon for a good leap. Don Wetty, a K. U. vaulter is expected to return before the season is well under way and will make Heizer a good vaulting partner. Coach Hamilton will have charge of the men, but Pat Murphey, with half-miler, is teaching in the department of geology and is helping to the men when real practice starts. Roy Pringle, the senior varsity athletes, who won last spring is in K.U. and will work out with the squad. The first year men will not be eligible for competition in the Valley meets, but will be sent to some of the open meets at Kansas City if they show up well. The Valley meet will be held at Ames this spring.
