Meets Tuesday In Fraser Hall Chapel Heavier Corhhuskers Defeat Kansas Eleven In Mud Sea at Lincoln Section Exceeds Its War Work Quota By Forty Per Cent National Committee Extends Campaign to Senate of University Will Discuss Merits Of Four-Quarter Plan Some Faculty Members Prefer Former Division of Collegiate Year Section the vocational unit of the S. A. T. has given more per capita than any other unit or organization on the Hill for the United War Work Car and is still giving, said Frf irker of committee today. The ii of Section have exceeded their quota by forty per cent and are still giving.

Their response to the call for money is mor remarkable because of the fact tha nearly every man in the section is allotting a large portion of his pay to dependents at home. One man in Section had exactly $3.60 to last him until next pay day after making his subscrition, according to Frank Parker, secretary of the Y- M. C. A. In the faculty canvasc, said Prof.

U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the War Work campaign on the Hill, the Chemistry Building and Spooner Library have gone over their quotas. The Administration Building and Green Hall have finished their canvass and have fallen below the sum assigned to them. The War Work Campaign has been extended by the National Committee, because of the poor start last week because of the peace celebration and because the influenza epidemic was still prevalent, and now will close Wednesday night, November 20.

A statistical report of the money raised at K. U. will be published tomorrow, including the entire amount, and the amount yet to be raised. Although the per capita sum subscribed here has not been exactly figured, it is known that it is not nearly as large as the amounts given in other universities according to Secretary Parker. At the College of Emporia, S.

A- T. C. men subscribed $19 per capita. Graduate Magazine Features Sailors Letters The Graduate Magazine for this month is on the press and will be issued this week, according to Miss Agnes Thompson, editor. The features of this number will be "Sailors' Letters," a list of the men in service, and the "History of Annuals," which will be continued from last month.

William J. Plank Dies Word has been received of the death of William Jay Plank, of influenza at Sacramento, Cal. He received his bachelbr's degree in the College in 1911 and a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering in 1913. Before entering the aviation service Mr. Plank was mechanical engineer for the government in the Canal Zone.

He had been flying since August. He is survived by his wife who -is in Pittsfield, Mass. While in the University he made his home with U. S- G. Plank, 1231 Oread Avenue.

Panhellenic Will Meet The Women's Panhellenic Association of the University of Kansas will meet at the Sigma Kappa house Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The plans made last year regarding a gift of $50 from each of the sororities to the Red Cross will be discussed and probably will be carried out this year. 'Peace Book Larger and Better Than Ever Customary Year Book Will Be Published by Students of Senior Class Emphasis on Training Corps Novel Beauty Section Planned Mary Smith is Editor and Lynn Hershey Manager "Contrary to the prevailing opinion, the University will have a Jayhawker this year, which will be bigger, better and more attractive than any other Jayhawker of the old school," says Lynn N- Hershey, business manager of the book this year. "It was thought at first that on account of the military conditions on the Hill it would be impossible to get out a Jayhawker, but Capt. Bruno T.

Scher, commandant of the Students' Army Training Corps and Chancellor Frank Strong are both anxious that the Year Book of the University be published this year as has been customary for many years and are backing the movement strongly. "Every facility will be given the managers of the Jayhawkers to. get out the annual this year," said Captain Scher this morning. "Since this has been a memorable year at the University on account of the presence of the Students' Army Training Corps, I believe the book will be very popular with both the students and the alumni. "The company commanders will make a survey of the number of men who want their pictures in the Peace Book and I urge that every man will take advantage of this opportunity and help make the year book of their school a success." "'The Peace the 1919 Jayhawker will outclass the Liberty Bell book of last year," said Mr.

Hershey, this morning. "The book will contain 400 pages, full fabricord binding and embossed in gold leaf. Khaki and black will dominate. Every committee has organized its work and great headway has been made- The taking of pictures will begin in a few days." The Students' Army Training Corps will be given special emphasis, and arrangements have been made to have the individual picture of every man in the S. A.

T. C. taken for the Peace Book. In order that the best of work may be obtained for this work and that every man will have the opportunity to have his picture taken for the book, a studio will be established over the Rowland Book Exchange, to do the work. The book will contain the pictures of the staff of S.A.T.C.

officers, faculty members, class organizations, fraternities, sororities, sports and all sorts of interesting scenes showing the preparation of the Students" Army Training Corps for their part in the great world war- "A novel Beauty Section is being planned for the Peace- Book, and the best artists in Kansas City have been engaged to look after the art sections of the book. Staff meeting will be held this week and the actual work will begin with renewed energy so that the book will be out oh scheduled time this year. Mary Smith, editor, in chief of the University Daily Kansan, will be the editor in chief of the 1919 Peace Book. Dame Rumor Popular Lady at Camp Oread Rumors! Rumors! Camp Oread lives on them. They may have long since ceased to believe any of them, but nevertheless they pass the exciting news to others so that its circulation" is not impaired.

One day they hear that everyone is going to France the following week; next, that the S. A. T. throughout the country will be disbanded that afternoon; then a "wise-brain" tips them off that they still have a chance for a reserve commission. And so it goes, with no one considering seriously what he hears but always glad to listen to the reports, and eagea for the opportunity to air his own opinions concerning them.

Herbert Howland, senior law has received his call for the navy-and left Sunday to reort at the Great Lakes Training Station. The Red Cross is Mobile. Washington, Nov. 18 Studies are being made of the situation in which the ending of the war leaves the Students' Army Training Corps, Secretary of War Baker said Saturday, in order that measures may be adopted to allow the release of such of its members as desire an immediate return to civil life, or who wish to continue in school but in purely academic courses. Mr.

Baker said that the colleges concerned would be assisted in returning to their normal work, and that whenever they had a student body sufficiently large to resume functioning of a pre-war basis, their obligation towards the war department would be cancelled. Whenever it is found that a school's resources and students had been turned over to the government plan so far that the change cannot be made, he said, the present arrangement would be con tinued.

21-tf-23. The foregoing advertisement appears today in the want ad column of The Kansan. It was inserted by a student in the School of Engineering with the explanation that he was doing it in an effort to put spirit, old time college life, in other words college morale, into a student body that had gone to seed. "Don't use my name, but you can put this in your paper," said the student to a reporter who was sent to interview him. "We've let the old fiu knock all the old peD out of us.

We' forgotten how to work or play with ginger. We aren't alive any more' We don't take a half interest in anything. That's my notion of things here at K. U. now.

"Well, let's wake up and get agoing. Let's beat somebody in intercollegiate debates this year. Let's trim the Tiger Thanksgiving. Let's live. I'm chipping in that little old two-bits in the only way I know to try to start this thipg.

The faculty ought to wake up too. They ought to have some pep meetings for the students-As I said, I'm chipping in this little old two bits as a patriotic stunt for K. U. "This is my little united war work campaign right here on the Hill too and for the Hill. It doesn't make any difference that I won that two bits and twenty-five cents more shooting craps on the way home from the Nebraska game.

I'm splitting fifty-fifty with the University by putting in this ad and if everybody will get busy and split fifty-fifty with the University in time, spirit and real old time feeling for the big school we'd get that old fashioned pep right back. Now some of you journalism students who have more imagination than sense take this up and boost it. I've given you the idea and the little old two-bits." Red Cross Opens Room For Work by Students "Red Cross work is not over by any means," said Miss Margaret Lynn, director of University women's war work, today in an emphatic assertion of the human obligations that still continue although the war is over. "Few persons know how many men are now in army hospitals in this country and in base hospitals in France. In fact, the need is scarcely less than it has been," said Miss Lynn.

"Assignments to local chapters of the Red Cross of work to be finished must be finished in order to care for these men." The Lawrence chapter was assigned a quota of work including 3,000 large hospital pads to be finished November 1, but owing to delay in obtaining material and to the need for hospital supplies used during the epidemic, the chapter is still several hundred short of its quota. The University Red Cross bead-quarters, Room 205, Fraser Hall, will be open every day from 3 to 6 o'clock, with supervisors to show beginners how to do the work. Credit will be given for work done here towards obtaining the honor Red Cross. Miss Lynn asks that workers bring thimbles and aprons. Help the American home to fellow the flag November 11-18.

The first Y. W. C. A. meeting for this year will be held in Fraser Hall Chapel Tuesday afternoon from 4:45 to 5:30 o'clock Dr.

Arthur Braden, University pas tor for the Christian Church, will speak on the subject, "Does God Exist." This is the first in a course of four lectures which will be given on four consecutive Tuesdays. University women, faculty members, and residents of Lawrence are invited. There will be a special pipe-organ selection by Miriam Herritt, fa'18. Nadine Blair, c'19, will preside over the meeting. Plain Tales From the Hill Those dire threats to murder the bugler which have been in the air for so long about Camp Oread seem to have been made good at last.

Anyway reveille didn't sound at a number of the barracks this morning, and the men slept till 6:30 o'clock. Which brings us around to the old question again: "Who wakes up the bugler?" "Foot inspection in five minutes!" was the bombshell which dropped among the men in one building Friday night- There was nothing else to do, so they held their feet out the window and let the rain wash 'em off. Week-end passes last week were distributed largely on the basis of the condition of rifles. So the men who left their ram-rods on their bunks when the call came for inspection were out of luck. Likewise the man who came up to port arms and forgot to open his bolt.

However, the prize was won by the rooky who couldn't get his bolt open because it wasn't in his'gun at all, but safely stowed away in a suitcase. The S. A. T. C.

fellows stepped out in style at Lincoln. Officers at Lincoln wear wrap leggings, as do privates at K. U- In the rain officers' and S. A. T.

C. hat-cords looked alike. And the poor S. A. T.

C. dubs of the University of Nebraska thought the K. U- were officers, and saluted respectfully and often Which made the Oread soldiers feel good. The men on the gate at the game had instructions to admit all lieutenants free, and when swagger buck privates from Lawrence advanced, they saluted and let them pass. Said one who had passed in this triumphant manner, and had reached the reserved seat section without a casualty, "Well, I've saluted two dollars and a half's worth, all right." More than one hundred honest young men told their girls last night that they were the only fellow who bummed his way to Lincoln, slept in a comfortable lower, and got away with it.

We have had ample opportunity to observe and comment upon the good old Lawrence phone service and city water, and last night the gas supply again regained the center of the stage. The military system at Lincoln is no good. lOne company has uniforms, and it is a queer looking bunch. The lieutenants don't' even have leather leggings, and everything around the barracks is wrong. In fact, the only thing they have at Nebraska is a football team, which doesn't cut much ice in times like these.

The whistle had just blown and there was the usual rustle preparatory to leaving class. "Just a moment, one more very important point," said the instructor- There was obedient silence. More silence, Embarassed instructor. "Why, why, I seem to have forgotten the point." Announcements All men in the University who are not in the S. A.

War Necessity is Passing Argument Advanced Present Arrangement Best Serves People of State Shall the University adopt the 4-quarter term permanently or shall it return to the old 2-semester plan, now that the S. A.

T. C. work apparently no longer needs the temporary 4-quarter plan recently instituted at the University? The University Senate will discuss this question at a vmeetlng tonight. Several faculty members are urging the' permanent adopting of the 4- quarter term while others are as vigorous in their demands that the school year be divided according to old customs, with a regular school of two terms and with two short sum mer sessions thrown in to meets de mands of those who cannot attend in winter or who have work to make up. It is possible the senate may decide that it is impractical to change back to the 4-term plan until next autum The present term is sceduled to close December 21 and the second term to begin December 31.

On the other hand, it is being argued that the 4- term doesn't fit and that the sooner the old order is re-established, the better. This view, persons favoring the 4-term plan say, does not take into account that war has changed the public aspect of the University almost to a revolutionary extent and that since the University has been used successfully in training young men to be skilled mechanics in a few weeks this same practical service should be expected of it in the future and the school year should be in four quarters. They say the four-quarter school year make a more flexible and more convenient schedule that a greater number of persons could ob tain an education under the new way than under the old- Lecture Series As Usual; Faculty Will Tour State The lecture series is being conducted by the Extension Division of the University this year as usual according to H. G. Ingham of the Division.

Various lectures and concerts by members of the University faculty are scheduled for out over the state as there is a call for them. The influenza epidemic has broken in upon the work during the last few weeks but it is expected that as con ditions become more settled the ex tent of the work will be greatly increased. Lecture to S. A. T.

C. Men Capt. Millard Knowlton, the personal representative for Kansas of Surgeon-General Gorgas on social hygiene, and Lieutenant Antiles, the federal representative on correction of vice, will speak before the S. A. T.

Tuesday, morning at 8:30 in Robinson Gymnasium. The meeting is especially arranged for S. A. T- C. men, but other men are welcome.

A TSOXI I Jay hawkers Fight Desperately As Nebraskans Get Under Way In Latter Half Score of 20 to 0 Piled Up Open Play Impossible and Gains Made by Line Plunges and Short End Runs The Nebraska Huskers defeated the Jayhawkers in their twenty-fifth annual clash at Lincoln Saturday in a sea of mud. The Kansans failed to a single first down and made only sixteen yards during the game to the Huskers 291 yards. The field was too muddy for open play and the teams resorted to line plunging, off tackle smashes and short end runs. The light Kansas team fought desperately but could not hold the heavier Husker team in the mud. The Kansas team punted to the Huskers and held them on their ten-yard line forcing them to punt.

Kansas received the ball in mid-field and punted into Nebraska territory. The first quarter was played mostly in Nebraska territory, the quarter ending scoreless with the ball in Kansas territory. Foster was forced to retire in the first period-After holding the Huskers in the danger zone Bunn fumbled behind the Kansas goal in an attempt to punt and was downed for a safety. The Kansas team took a brace in the second period and the teams fought evenly, Kansas resorting to the kicking game. By the end of the half each man carried an additional weight of fifteen pounds of mud.

PUNTS ARE EXCHANGED The Huskers came out at the start of the second half attired in clean suits, but the Jayhawkers were forced to spend their rest period in the cold, mud soaked uniforms. Ha-worth kicked off to Kansas and the teams played in mid-field, exchanging punts for the first five minutes of the period. The Huskers gradually forced the Kansans to their five yard line by consistent gains, and added yardage on exchange of punts. Bunn punted to the 20-yard line. The Husker backs lugged the ball for three 1-yard gains, and first downs.

Haworth made two yards off tackle, Jobes made four through the line and scored on the following smash. Nebraska failed to kick goal. Nebraska kicked off to Kansas and after an exchange of punts it was Nebraska's ball on the Kansas 30 yard line. Hartley and Jobes hit the line for first downs- The Husker backs made first downs again on four successive line plunges. The Kansas line failed to hold and the Husker backs made short gains consistently.

With the ball in the Huskers' possession on the Kansas 10-yard line Jobes and Reynolds made four yards each and Swanson took the oval across for the second touchdown of the period. Nebraska failed at goal. Kansas kicked to the Huskers and with an exchange of punts it was Kansas' ball on their own 30-yard line and the quarter ended. The score at the end of the third quarter stood: Kansas, Nebraska, 14. NEBRASKA FAILS TO KICK GOAL Foster punted at the start of the last quarter and Kansas held Ne- braska on the 30-yard line for several plays.

The Huskers started an advance and each back carried the ball for short gains to the Kansas yard line. Swanson hit the line twice and scored. Nebraska failed to kick goal. The rest of the game was played in Kansas territory, the Jayhawkers losing ground steadily, but putting up a stiff fight The game ended 20 to 0- Mott and Jones of Kansas played a good defensive Swanson, Jobes, Hubka and Hartley played (Continued on page 4) I Give Thanks For Thursday The Thanksgiving holiday will be observed only on the day itself, are the orders to S.A.T.C. men and other students.

The usual penalty for absence from class on Wednesday or Friday, will be in force, according to Mrs. C. E. Esterly. That is, each individual instructor may impose whatever penalty he chooses for absence from his classes.

Chancellor Has Laryngitis Chancellor Strong is ill at his home with laryngitis. He expects to return to his office in two or three days. WHAT chance will I have when the war is over?" Thousands of boys are asking that-question. They want to keep up with their studies; they want these warfare years to count. For them the war work agencies are conducting the greatest university in the world.

Every hut in France is a classroom, and the leading college and high school teachers of the country, under the leadership of men like Professor Stokes of Yale and Professor Erskine of Columbia, are keeping your boy in touch. Get behind the campaign that will keep the boys from faUing behind. UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN.
