UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1918.
Surgeon General May Ask School of Medicine For All-Year Session
NUMBER 12.
Professors of Army Age Wil Be Commissioned Officers
Government Will Send Men to Attend School of Engineering
Will Train More Soldiers
A medical increase in enrollment in the School of Medicine for the coming year is expected, Dr. John Sandwill believes. The larger number of students will be owing to the increased demand for carollment for training in the Medical Reserve Corps of any man who has had sixty hours of college work, including six hours of physics, six hours of chemistry and six hours of biology and can produce a state-of-the-art diagnosis that he is not in the current quota.
MAKE PROFESSORS OFFICERS
With the increasing demand for doctors in the war zone, enlistment among professors has been so great that the School of Medicine has had difficulty in keeping the necessary number of teachers. But by a recent order the government has added to the number of medical officers who eligible to the Medical Reserve Corps, for teaching in the School of Medicine.
On account of the urgent need for doctors, a continuous session of the School of Medicine for the coming year will be requested by the Surgeon General.
MANY IN ENGINEERING
The School of Law is expecting a marriage next year unless a woman pleads with the mayor, W. Green. W. Green is urging to prepare for legal positions left by men entering
Prof. Carl Preeyer believes that the carollement in the School of Fine Arts will be the same as last year, if not increased, because of the large number of women enrolled. Prof. Arthur Nevin will be back and new courses formed among them implementations, conducting and a vow seminar.
DEM AND FOR TEACHERS
The School of Engineering, according to Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, has an encouraging outlook in spite of the fact that the enrollment was lower than expected. The school that soldiers in uniform will be sent to the University by the Government to finish their training, in addition to the men in the National Army School now stationed here. Many freshmen and sophomores will take work in engineering to get experience before entering national service.
The School of Pharmacy we have a small enrollment in the ad vanced courses but is expecting more students in lower classes.
The great demand for teachers will increase the enrollment in the School of Education materially, Dean F. J. Kelly believes.
The enrollment in the Graduate School has been reduced 50 per cent since last fall and all kinds of trained workers. The enrollment during the summer term has been practically the same as before the war, Dean P. W. Blackman
The College probably will suffer most next year. The enrollment was reduced 16 per cent last year but the funding may keep the figures higher.
Many Jobs for Students Who Want to Earn Way
Jobs next year for students who wish to defray their own expenses will be plentiful. This year some jobs are particularly urgent and perilous. Because of the war there will be openings in the business section for stenographers and clerks in offices, newspaper reporters, waiters and others. The work is extra hours and on Saturdays.
Muck stenographic and mimeographic work is done in the University of Illinois by copying students' themes. Then there is always a demand for janiors and for students to do housework, memorializing, washing children for children.
The absence of so many men from the University will give the women an opportunity to take many places otherwise unavailable.
The Red Cross is Democratic.
The Y. M. C. A. maintains an employment agency for men and the Y. W. C. A. for women. Applications for work may be made to either association a few weeks before the University opens.
Attractions Ready For Campus Party Tonight
The pet stunts of the favorite comedians, and some who you did not know were comedians, are the special inducements offered at the Campus Party this evening, from 7 to 10 p.m., the Summer Session students. Two fares, "The Elopers," and "Feed the Brute," will be given by the Dramatic Art classes, and dumbbell performance, impersonations, and other stunts; the other stunts will be put on. The entire program will not be put out until Friday night at the party, when printed programs will be distributed.
The War Here and Over There
Belgium's queen has sent to American women an expression of her admiration for their work for the Allies' cause.
A resolution, requesting the president to issue a proclamation calling on the American people to observe room prayer during the war, has been passed by the senate. President Wilson favors it.
Despite the Socialists the Reichstag has passed the peace treaty and supplementary treaties with Roumania.
A campaign for a $121,000,000 fund for the Y. M. C. A. war work will begin immediately after the fourth Liberty Loan. A
Seven thousand tons of raw Caucasian cotton, to be divided among Hungary, Austria, and Germany have shipped from Tiflis to Budapest, where the cotton will arrive early in August. Twenty-six freight cars of the finest Merino wool already have arrived in Budapest.
For the first time in more than a year, the women of England are to have the privilege, for two months, of purchasing shoes with leather tops more than seven inches in height. After July 31 no more high shoes may be purchased for an indefinite period.
The Japanese government has decided to institute civil administration in the South Pacific islands.
Ad Building Will Provide Barracks for N. A. Men
New Contract Extending School Six Months to be Signed In October
n October
With the new Administration Building used as barracks and mess hall, the second floor of Fowler Shops as quarters, and a new shed near the base, the building will be pairing, the war atmosphere will be thicker than ever next fall.
The additions are necessary to accommodate the National Army Training School, which according to latest plans will be continued after October 15, and will be increased in August to 350 men. The new contract will be signed for six months until the end of this year and be continued after that time as well, Capt Benjamin F. Rice announced yesterday.
The new wing of the Administration Building will be used as quarters for the men. The officers are directed on the foundation of the auditorium for a mess hall. The offices, barracks, and infirmary in the auditorium will be continued at as present.
Women, as well as National Army engineers, have been training for Uncle Sam in the Engineering Building this summer. Real patriotism is essential to men taking an intensive course in mechanical drawing under Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, for they not only teach you how to use 130 to 169 s'o'clock but are receiving no credit for the course, their purpose being to prepare themselves for government service as draughtsmen, thereby relieving men for mill-work.
Women Show Patriotism By Mechanical Drawing
The women have had no assurance that they will secure positions on completion of the course but must first pass a civil service examination. In spite of that fact they have competed in the college, taking a semester and a half. Professor Goldsmith said he had never had a class do as excellent work.
The seven women are: Ruth Ellis,

Exchange Professor Comes to University From War Time Franc
Arrangement Made by Miss Galloo and French Director of Education
Prof. Robert Mahieu, the first exchange professor from France to come to the University, will be here when the university opens in the fall. Students attending the arrangements for his coming here were made by Prof. Eugenia Galloo, head of the department of Romance and language, director of education in France.
Professor Mahieu's, coming is a wonderful opportunity for the University* Prof. D. L. Patterson, acting daed, said "he brings the atmosphere to our students," speaks English perfectly. Coming from France after four years of war he will serve as a bond of unity between the University and France and will give students a clear idea of what is going on in his own country.*
Captain Scher At Front
THE LAST KANSAN FOR THE SUMMER
Saw Ten Months Service in Advanced Fighting
Zone
Capt. Bruno T. Scher, professor of military science and tactics at the University and commanding officer of the R. O. T. C., has just come from the Western Front where he saw ten service in the advanced fighting zone.
Captain Scher went to France in June 1977 with the British forces of United States Troops to be sent overseas. He was commissioned major temporarily until he was retrained from active service and was given the option of physical disability. Before leaving France he was given a wrist watch by Marshal Joffre, with the Marshal's name inscribed.
He has been in the army twenty-five years, having seen service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. He inspected the insurrections. He was the War Department Service badge for ser- he received his second lieutenant's commission during the Spanish- tricambronade and first lieutenant several years later. He was on the Mexican Border with the 6th Infantry during the Mexican trouble and was commissioned cap- tainer. He went to France from the Border.
All students who expect to complete work for degrees at the close of Summer Session should make office use by registering at office before they leave.
This issue of the Summer Session Kansan will be read by some thousands of young men and women who have never attended the University. That they may know the University somewhat better—especially the University in war time—it is necessary to print some things which students on the campus know well. However, many regular students do not appreciate adequately the full measure of the University's war activity, and even the incomplete information in this paper will occasion surprise as well as satisfaction.
Announcement
Prof. E. B. Stouffer is at home from Simmons' Hospital, where he was operated on last Friday.
Miss Corbin Considers Student Housing Plan
Miss Alberta L. Corbin, the new adviser of women sees in the attention for next year an opportunity for the women of the University to attend conferences and coording to letters received by her friends here. No definite plans have been made as yet, but Miss Corbina hopes it may be possible to provide houses for women students, even those without graduate grants the halls of residence.
Miss Corbin is spending the summer in Madison, Wisconsin, and is living with Miss A. B. Ernst, formerly of the department of German here, and now on the faculty of the university. She will be studying conditions in Wisconsin and other universities, preparatory to the work here next year.
SECRETARY BAKER TO COLLEGE MEN
This new policy (Establishing Reserve Officer's Training Corps in Colleges and Universities) aims to accomplish a two-fold object: First, to develop as a great military asset the large body of men in the colleges; and second, to prevent unnecessary and wasteful depletion of the colleges through indiscriminate volunteering by offering to the students a definite and immediate military status.
Plain Tales From The Hill
A University student, passing Prof. H. W. Humble's home, was arrested by the figure of that gentleman's small son, who is about six years old kneeling in the grass with his face solemnly lifted to the sunshine sky. He was talking either to himself or a teacher. He was sitting at the student stopped opposite the youngster and asked him what he was doing and to whom he whom he was talking.
The boy answered earnestly that he was talking to God asking him for rain. "You know," he said, "we rain the rain for the crops and the grass."
Dempsey Elliot, c20, received his call to the Great Lakes Training School Monday. He left Tuesday to report.
There has been an increase due to war influence in the percentage of mathematics, caused by the necessity of a knowledge of algebra and trigonometry in special branches of mathematics, such as aviation and artillery.
Prof. A. W. Larson of the department of mathematics is now in the Officers Training Camp at Ft. Monroe, Vn.

formerly Assistant-Registrar at
the University, and now Registrar at

lege visit Mrs. E. E. Entzley
and other friends at the University.
next week.
John M. Shea, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, has been placed in Class A, and whether he will be called to the service at once depends upon the local draft board. The University authorities hope that he may remain on account of his performance. He is especially needed for superintending the construction of the new Administration Building.
E. S. Staterle, who was captain of the team he teamed with, led the technological school for inspectors in one of the Du Pont power factories at Carnegie University.
"Some factory," said Professor Dains. "They turn out 8000 pounds of nitrate explosive a day."
Every Freshman Woman Will Have a Big Sister
A big sister for every freshman woman is the aim of the Big Sister committee of the Y. W. C. A. next year. Two hundred and twenty-five upper class women have volunteered to lead the leadership of the fifteen captains, who will be on the job when registration begins. They will bring the freshman women from the trains to the Y. W. C. A. headquarters in New Orleans and locating students; help in enrollment, and take the first year students to the University parties. Three hundred letters of welcome will be sent out to high school graduates in New Orleans next fall. Mary Burnett, 1231 Louisiana Street, will give any information desired.
Students Enlist in U. S. Army Next Year As Part of R.O.T.C.
Will be Called to Colors on Reaching Draft
Age
Soldiers on Furlough Status
In Summer
Training Supplemented by Six Weeks' Intensive Work In Service
The army unit to be established at the University the coming year is an infantry unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, with Capt. Brune T. Scher, U. S. Army, in command. The R. O. T. C is a part of the Students Army Training Corps, with camps in all institutions of collegiate grade in military training, including men, and is designed to use as a military asset the great body of young men in the higher educational institutions of the country.
All able-bodied students over eighteen will be encouraged to enlist, and those under eighteen to enroll. The enlistment contract of students over eighteen is signed by the commissioner of the Army of the United States, subject to active service at the call of the President. It will be the policy of the government, however, not to allow a student who they reach the regular draft age, and then they are to be called at the close of the June following, in order that they may complete their college year. The student body is not a desirability under the Selective Service Act.
REGULAR MILITARY TRAINING
The enlisted students will be on forlough status, and will not receive a payday. They are sent a year. But when they are attending the six weeks' intensive course during the summer, they are furnished transportation and rations by the Navy.
The work includes ten hours per week throughout the school year, divided into six hours of practical instruction, three hours of technical course, and four hours credit for academic studies of military value. This is followed by six weeks' intensive training at some summer camp for R. H. Mason in 60 hours military work per annum.
PREPARE FOR OFFICERS' CAMPS
Enlistments are in the grade of private. When called to the colors, a large percentage of these men are expected to qualify for officers' training camps, and a large percentage of them are missioned officers. The number of men to be sent from any institution to officers' training camps, depends not only on the quality of the men and the need of the service at the time.
nurse instructors are provided for these units whenever available, and officers returning from overseas unassigned are not utilized. The summer work is all under experienced army officers. For the training during the school year, supplementary instructors, who are given special intensive courses durably are used by nurses and officers. Fifty-three students and five members of the faculty of the University, will take such training in Fort Sheridan in July and August.
EQUIPMENT PROVIDED
Each soldier is allowed one uniform per year by the government, and all soldiers are required to wear a model Russian rifles and ammunition. Soldiers are required to wear their uniforms for all the military work, and wear them all the time if they choose.
The R. O. T. C., as a part of the Students Army Training Corps, is under the Training and Instruction Branch, War plans Divisions of the General Staff. An advisory board consists of 20 members of War to insure close co-operation between the War Department and the colleges.
Professors To Ft. Sheridan
Five Chosen for Assistant Instructors' Camp This Summer
Prof. R. E. Carter, Prof. B. E. Stauffer, Dean F. J. Kelly, Dr. John Sundwall, and Prof. Maxwell Ferguson are the five faculty members of the university. Prof. Maxwell of Kansas at the Fort Sheridan training camp for assistant instructors in Reserve Officers' Training Corps such as will be established at the University next fall. Their work will include training the military training and to assist Capt. Bruno T. Scher, commanding officer.

OUR WAR WORKSHOP
ANOTHER year of sending men over to France and into our training camps by the hundreds of thousands may make it hard for prospective students to see that it may be their best patriotic service to remain in school, or to enter a university.
But in this phase of war adjustment, as in so many others, surely we can learn from the experience of England and others of our allies. During the first year of the war, the university men of England all rushed to enlist, and the enrollment in Oxford most conservative of English schools—the one designed to "teach an English gentleman how to be an English gentleman" fell, in October of 1914, from 3500 to 1200. Many of these men went down in the inevitable "initial sacrifice," and the second year of the war, all England wished desperately that these men had been saved for use as officers. R. O. T. C.'s were organized in every higher school of England.
On the other hand, citizens and prospective students are right to ask what the universities are proposing to do to meet the changed conditions of the country—what they can offer in the way of real war service or preparation.
The mainspring of the activity of every member of the University faculty, from the Chancellor to the newest instructor, is the consideration of what the University may do to help win the war. Each department co-operates with each other in furthering war interests; there is added the impetus of cumulative and combined efforts. Surely any young man or woman who is considering the question of colleges, will do well by his country in coming to the University, where he may find his talent which will best serve his country, or develop that talent at top war-time speed, for the service of his country.
The University of Kansas will continue next year three main lines of activity: general preparation, which should make the student more valuable in the service of the country when his time comes, and more apt for military training; direct preparation for war service, such as that in the R. O. T. C. and the food conservation courses; and actual war work, as of the classes in surgical dressings, the raising of funds for the French orphans, and home service work.
By a recent order of the War Department, in providing for the establishment of R. O. T. C.'s at the larger educational institutions, the members of the R. O. T. C. are to be given a definite military status next year. By this provision, any young man in a university or college, will be proclaimed to all his associates for what he actually is—a soldier in the course of training, as truly as the men in the regular army camps
For all young women except those entering training as nurses, we believe there is no place offering better opportunities to do war service, and to train for effective work, than the schools and colleges of the country. To fulfill this promise is the chief desire and aim of the University of Kansas for the coming year, and as many more years as it may take to defeat the Huns.
EDUCATION HOLDS THE KEY
EDUCATION
In the early days of the war we Americans were inclined to be proud of our isolation, and our superior sort of aloofness from European affairs. But it quite pleased our vanity none the less to consider ourselves a world power. We liked the phrase, and imagined that we could be a world power merely by virtue of size.
But at last we have come to understand that we can be a world power in truth only by taking a real part and place in the world's affairs. The next step, as Dr. Slosson put it in his recent convoitation address at the University is that we should become A WORLD INTELLIGENCE AS WELL AS A WORLD POWER.
We can never reach this stage in our development by complacently regarding ourselves as already superior to the rest of the world, and
pluming ourselves on our past achievements.
The young men and you women of America will never help us to it by concluding that an education does not matter in such strenuous times as these. It is precisely in such strenuous times as these that an education matters most.
Each new investigation of Germany's methods of conducting warfare shows more clearly than before that she neglects no possible sphere of knowledge or activity. Every branch of education is mads to contribute to the cause. She uses political as well as military strategy; studies racial characteristics and social conditions, as well as contours of land for army operations.
Modern languages are of increasingly greater importance. So long as we held to our old idea of isolation from the old world, we might reasonably say to ourselves that languages were of minor importance. But if we are to deal with other nations in any effective manner, we must be able to communicate with those people in their own language.
So it is also with international law and diplomacy, commercial law, accounting, economics, history, business methods—these and many other subjects demand attention as never before.
We cannot fight this war in our own way—we must counteract the movements of the enemy, and if his operations lead us into the devious courses of sciences andologies and isms, we must outmanouver him there and beat him at his own game. We must learn even from our enemies.
Training is at the foundation of victory in the war. Education and training must be depended on to take care of after-the-war problems.
My Notion is That— Expressions of Opinions by Students and Teachers on Matters of General Concern
Editor Summer Session Kansan:
Did you ever notice the innocent but pertinacious prevarication that people practice in regard to their own climate? Did you ever see this: "Mt. Oread, the coolest spot in Kansas," or this, California, cool in summer, warm in winter." Now at Wisconsin State University, on three beautiful lakes. Cool and pleasant," or this, "Come to California, col in summer, warm in winter." Now having made trial of all these I can say they as superlative hot as any other place where grain and fruit get warm enough to ripen. At each place, in reply to any surprised or painted complaint, you hear this: "But really this is unusual, the hottest in years." ete ad lib. So, after all, we are just as comfortable in believing and acting on the climatic announcement of our own circulars as when we travel hither and yon.
M. A.
Editor Summer Session Kansan:
That the University will in time need more land added to it's campus is undeniable. When the dormitories, which are sure to come, are built, where will they be located? New buildings will be needed in all departments, and the University should buy land adjoining the campus before it is built upon.
The Board of Alumni Visitors have advocated the purchase of the land just south of the University.
IF anyone really thinks the University of Kansas is a school only for the sons and daughters of the rich he should be told the fact that more than sixty per cent of the students last year were either wholly or partly self-supporting! And these students are leaders in college affairs too, in every phase of school life.
This is the best available piece of ground around the campus, as all the land both north and east is occupied. Let's have it.
Henry tends to Mrs. Brown's furnace in winter, and waits on the table at a club and still finds time to be the most popular man in his class. They do all sorts of work, these worth-while students in college. Some are expert stenographers and sit in dignified coolness in some Dean's office, while others act as stewards for clubs or wash stacks of dishes each day for their meal. But the University of Kansas is a democratic school and it makes no difference what kind of work a man does, just so he is a good fellow, a good student and will do his share in keeping up the spirit of the University.

UNIVERSITY BORN IN WAR TIME If you live out in the state and meet some one just fresh from the University, he will tell you that the war is the one great thing at the University these days; and you think, "Yes, where there are so many young people there will always be much enthusiasm. And besides, these boys and girls do not know what war means."
But come on up to Lawrence, and you begin to discover that just as the “win the war spirit” is not expressing itself as football-enthusiasm is wont to do, so it is not a demonstration by persons unable to realize what war means.
By the time you find stained professors giving their sons to all branches of fighting service in spite of long laid and cherished plans; and they and their families making all kinds of sacrifices of personal comfort, in many instances giving their entire time to some form of war work—then you feel that the spirit developed at such institutions is as fine a thing as America can produce.
The very traditions of the University, and the circumstances of its founding, lead to just such a spirit of loyalty and sacrifice. The legislative act providing for the establishment of a University and its location at Lawrence, was passed in 1863, and in that year and the following one the citizens of Lawrence raised a large proportion of the first endowment fund of the University, even though the town had been laid waste in the meantime by the Quantrell raid.
With such birth and ancestry, could the University of Kansas be other than a disciple of the cause of freedom for all people of the earth?

People Need Information About Permanent Income
"The summer school students can do a great deal to influence the men and women of Kansas to vote for the Permanent Income Amendment. Second, students and teachers of Country Club Union. "Circulars have been sent out to alumni, editors of newspapers, and teachers over the state for distribution. If all summer school students attend summer schools, would come to the Alumni Headquarters in Fraser Hall, get a bunch of circulars, and distribute them in their home communities the great obstacle, lack of knowledge about the bill, would become."
Mr. Glascock found in his trips out over the state that the people are not against the amendment. When he talked to them, "What have you find out what it is, that it will
reduce rather than raise taxes, that it will eliminate waste of money, and will provide for the maintenance of the seven state institutions more efficiently and more economically than under the present plan. The appropriation is legislated, are glad not to vote but to work for the passage of the bill.
Mr. Glasser will leave soon to join the army but expects the work of the Country Club Union to go on under a new president to inform the voters of the state concerning the permanent income law.

One is in the extension department of the Michigan Agricultural College, two are in France now, and two expect to go as dietitians.

Football Again Leads Sport, Prospects Good
Freshman Intercollegiate Games In Prospect Next Year
Football will take its old place at the head of all sports, according to Coach Hamilton, who has been keeping track of the men likely to be back in school this fall. Three all-valley men, Lonborg, Nettles, and Foster will form the nucleus of team, and there are prospective of intercollegiate athletes for freshman teams. This gives freshmen football men the most importance in athletics that they have had heretofore, as their work has always been considered entirely as preparation for the years to follow.
Idiol, Simon, Pringle, and Bunn are the backfield men who will again be in school. Knoles and Lonborg will probably be the ends. Most of line men will have to come last year's freshman season. Duff, Marr, Church and Desmond will be candidates from the freshman team for line positions.
The prospectus for basketball for next year are not very good on account of the number of men who have enlisted. Bum ants and other inmates who will be back a school and Marms is the only freshman expected back.
Only a few of the goal track men are expected next year as most of them either have enlisted or were graduated last year. A couple of them, the dawn men, will be here. Dewall, Clift and Duff will be on for the distance races and Howard and Hobart will work with hurdles, pole vault, brick jump and
high jump with disappear as an intergoalist sport next year, according to present indications. Slawson, Foster, Pringle and Lonborg will be the only Varsity baseball man on prospects are not this age. game were not in the game has dropped in most universities, it is believed that baseball will be dropped in the University of Kansas.
