5 Plain Tales From the Hill ADVICE TO THE CANDIDATES FOR APRIL 30 Some good speeches to use in accepting nominations for office. These will not be copyrighted and will be of value to any young bashful candidate. FORM ONE Gentlemen, if you seek redress from the wrongs of the tyranical Senators of this University, elect me to the Student Council. The guy who is running against me hasn't got the intimate acquaintance with the high officials, and therefore can do the cause no good. I have read the Sour Owl and have gotten some good points to spring on them.

I will do my best and will make it a point to attend all of the Varsities. Many thanks. FORM TMO Gentlemen, it is with heartfelt feeling that I stand here today and accept this unlooked for nomination. I know that the majority of the school wants me to run, so why shouldn't I'm not looking for any grapes for that is a thing of the past here, but I do want to be a member of the Council, for that will give me an honor to put under my name when I have my picture in the Jayhawker. It is purely an impersonal motive on my part.

Thanks. FORM THREE All of you know me because I'm such a good dancer down at the Varsities. What I want to do is to show the students that dancing is not my only occupation, but that I'm a good business man. If you remember me at all, I was the star of the K. U.

Ballet' a year ago, and I feel that I'm a representative student for the office. Thank you, again and again. Unless the dandelions are taken care of, visitors on the campus will think that the University has a yellow streak. The Red Vigils have a rival. Law rence now has silent police and de tectives.

No more shimmying in the city limits. The University will be forced to move now. It used to be "The poets who raved about Spring." Now it is the poets who rave about poets who rave about Spring. Dempsey Elliot took his date and his automobile to church Sunday. He left the auto outside, and took his date with him to hear the sermon.

Ferguson, a freshman at the University in 1917, will resume his work in the School of Engineering next fall. Ferguson, who was in Company of the 137th Infantry, was wounded in the Argonne fighting. His home is at Minneapolis. The other man who will come to K.U. is Herbert W.

Huff of Fort Scott. "Any man who has been adjudged 10 per cent, or more disabled by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance is eligible for vocational training at, the expense of the government," said Mr. McEachron. "If a man's disability prevents him from returning to employment, the government strongly recommends that he elect to follow a course of vocational training provided by the board. This training will be either in manufacturing plants, schools or colleges.

"In addition to the expense of the course, including tuition, the government will pay the man, as long as the training lasts, a monthly compensa- tion equal to the sum to which he is entitled under the War Risk Insurance" Act, or a sum equal to the pay of his last month of active service, whichever is greater. In any case he will receive at least $65 a month, and more if he has dependents. "A survey is made of each case, the education and previous employment of the man is found out, and a suitable course of training outlined." Two hundred and fifty men have already been placed in vocational training qy the St. Louis office, according to Mr. McEachron, and it is expected that seven or eight hundred will be assigned before the fall terms begin.

The board is also finding employment for men who do not need further training. Demand for H. S. Teachers Great This Year Johnson The demand for teachers in the high schools for next year is pressing, according to Prof. W.
