STUDENTS: In the pages that follow you will find a statement of the steps which the University of Kansas is taking to adapt its instruction to the needs of a nation at war. I hope that you will read it carefully and talk it over with your parents wherever possible so that you may be prepared to make im- portant decisions about the remainder of your work in the University. These courses are designed to make possible training for maximum usefulness for men entering the armed forces and industry, and for women new opportunities to be of important assistance in the emergency. I call your attention also to the extended summer session of twelve weeks in the College and even longer in some of the professional schools of the University. Freshmen will be admitted to these summer sessions. All other classes are offered the same opportunity to accel- erate their programs. It has always been possible through use of the summer sessions to graduate in three years. Now it is possible for able students, entering in June and taking maximum work, to graduate at mid-year in the Junior year,—a saving of a year and a half. For many this means a college degree before military service, and for many others it means the saving of vital months in prepara- tion for national service. These new departures are designed to increase the use- fulness and effectiveness of the University to you, and I hope you will take advantage of such of these opportunities as meet your particular needs. DEANE W. MALOTT, Chancellor. KINDS OF UNIVERSITY TRAINING MOST NEEDED BY THE COUNTRY AT PRESENT Both officials of the government and industrial leaders have indicated definitely the major needs of the nation which it is the particular province of colleges and univer- sities to meet. Clearly the United States should be pro- vided as quickly and as steadily as possible with more (1) physicians, (2) engineers, (3) nurses, (4) chemists, (5) physicists, (6) accountants, and (7) industrial managers. These classes of trained men and women will not only be indispensable during the period of the war, but most classes of them will continue to be needed after the coun- try has happily returned to a condition of peace. Juniors and seniors who have not already chosen a cur- riculum concerned with one of the academic fields just in- dicated will probably be unable to do anything about the matter now, except perhaps to enroll in one or more of the emergency courses discussed elsewhere in this pamphlet. Freshmen, sophomores, and entering students, however, may well wish to take the national needs into account in making plans for the months ahead. This is not to say that students are advised to shape their academic program solely on the basis of war conditions and requirements; but the knowledge of what services are deemed of paramount importance to the life of the country today should properly be one of their considerations. KK ook A WORD ABOUT CERTAIN BASIC GENERAL COURSES During the months which have passed since the country began actively to prepare for war, many former college students have discovered to their dismay how great is the 5 Fi es SU Due NOS) CAN De Aa Ree handicap imposed by ignorance of certain basic general courses—courses open to them, even urged upon them, while they were on the campus. Many a senior has lost the opportunity to join the staff of an industrial firm because he so cheerfully neglected the physical sciences. Many a young would-be officer has found himself barred from a training school because representatives of the army or navy consider important the mathematics which he so will- ingly escaped. A timely warning now may save others from the same sort of error. Matuematics. The value, especially, of College Algebra and Trigonometry is called to the attention of the general student, not only because these subjects are indispensable if one is to do some types of military work, but because, also, they are prerequisite to most courses in physical science. Incidentally, high-school seniors who are plan- ning to enter the School of Engineering and Architecture should bear in mind that to gain admission an applicant must offer three units of credit in high-school mathematics, including one and one-half units in algebra, one unit in plane geometry, and one-half unit in solid geometry. Lack- ing these credits, one should try to make them up during the summer preceding admission by enrolling in the work in the summer session or through the Correspondence Study Bureau. CueEmistTRY. In a time of industrial expansion it is better to know a little chemistry than none at all, if only because of the incidental use one can make of the knowledge. At the University there are two beginning courses in the sub- ject. Chemistry I, offering five hours of credit, is designed primarily for those who wish to obtain a general knowl- edge of the principles of the science, but who expect to en- roll for no more than one course. Chemistry II, likewise 6 * SOME “SUGGESTED “COURSES. <2 % offering five hours of credit, is so organized as to lead to the next work in the subject. Those who expect to continue with chemistry should of course begin with Chemistry II. Puysics. The justification for taking one or more of the beginning courses in physics is even stronger than that for the enrollment in chemistry. Industry constantly draws on the knowledge and skills of the physicist; and military leaders, with the new instrument of radio in their hands and other scientific challenges to be investigated, have ever increasing use for men who have had some training in the physics laboratory. For example, both the army and navy are now actively searching for college men to be trained as meteorological officers. No candidate, however, is con- sidered who has not had sound training both in mathe- matics (through integral calculus) and in physics. The courses in the subject at the University especially to be considered are two pairs of courses, Physics 3 and 4 and Physics 5a and 5b, either of which constitutes a basic one- year unit. Ke ee COURSES ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR THIS TIME OF WAR In an attempt to offer students as many opportunities as possible for specialized training, even if only in some minor area of activity, we have organized a number of new courses—and in addition are calling attention here to some of our standard courses—which will, we feel, serve to de- velop special techniques or to impart specific bodies of knowledge which may prove useful to those entering ac- tively upon service in the war, whether in the fighting forces or in an organization to maintain civilian morale or in industrial production. What use one may find for any of We OK Ge AOS ST DE NaS AON le eres Wa Ro 9 these offerings will depend upon the réle which he desires for himself in the days ahead or which is likely to be as- signed him. It is to be hoped that the student will carefully consider the courses in the list which follows and select any of them which his aptitudes and opportunities appear to justify him in taking. Not all the courses of value in preparing for the national undertaking are discussed, but the most im- portant of those immediately useful in the emergency are listed and described below: Astronomy 40. Navication. Three hours credit. Second semester. A course designed to give students a working knowledge of navi- gation.

ROR COKE oe TRAINING OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO WOMEN Although women students are barred from none of the work discussed in this pamphlet, except that in military 2 TKS SS LUD ENTS > AND. HE OMAR science, most of them will be primarily interested in the types of training especially suitable for women. Rep Cross Courses. Four standard Red Cross courses have recently been established at the University and are open to women students, as well as to women of the city, who can qualify for admission. The usefulness of these four courses, which are described below, will be obvious. Nurse’s Ares. Three hours credit. Open to women in good health between the ages of 18 and 50 years. Time required: Unit I, 34 hours class room lectures and demonstrations, 2 hours daily, 5 days a week; Unit II, 45 hours hospital demonstration and practice, 3 hours daily, 5 days a week; Unite III (First Aid), 20 hours total, 2 hours daily, 3 times a week; and finally, 150 hours practical experience in a hospital approved by the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association. Obligations of candidates: they must agree to finish the course, give 150 hours of volunteer service each year to maintain their cer- tificate and serve whenever they are called. A certificate of Red Cross Nurses’s Aide is given upon the satis- factory completion of the training. The teaching is done by accredited graduate nurses; and the di- rection of the course is in the hands of Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, di- rector of the University Health Service. Home Nursinc. One hour credit. Open to women over 17 years of age. Lectures and demonstrations. Minimum of 24 hours for basic course; 6 hours additional recommended. No service obligation. Teaching to be done under the supervision of Dr. Florence Sherbon of the University faculty, with the help of volunteer graduate nurses. First Ar. One hour credit. Open to both men and women over 17 years of age. Lectures and demonstrations. Minimum time: 20 hours in basic course, 10 hours additional recommended. No service ob- ligation. To be taught by physician members of the University staff, under the direction of Dr. Canuteson. Nutrition. One or two hours credit, depending on the election of 20 additional hours. Open to both men and women. Lectures and demonstrations. Minimum time: 20 hours for the basic course; 20 hours more may be taken, but by women only, in canteen training. 10 ww S-OPMAE SU -GiG SED. COUR SIE S wr A course approved by the Governor’s Committee on Nutrition. No service obligation. To be taught under the direction of Professor Edna Hill, chairman of the Department of Home Economics. Home Economics. In addition to Home Nursing and Nu- trition and Nutrition just discussed, given with the help of the staff of the Department of Home Economics, there are _ several regular courses in the field which may be used to meet a possible need of war times, either in the home or in the community or possibly (certainly with men who serve in the Quartermaster’s Corps) in the military camps. The principal courses of this kind are: 3, Elementary Nutri- tion; 4, Foods I; either 10 or 82, Health of the Family; 12, Child Development; and 76, Standards of Living and Fam- ily Finance. CURRICULUM IN OccUPATIONAL THERAPY. After the first World War those working with wounded and disabled ser- vice men made notable use of occupational therapy as an aid to recovery and vocational rehabilitation. In the belief that the need for this kind of social and health activity may presently be very urgent again, and because the number of institutions offering the training is too few to supply the demand already existing for trained workers, the Univer- sity has recently organized a curriculum in occupational. therapy, which may be elected by qualified women stu- dents only. The course of study will lead to a baccalaureate degree, and will require three years of work in Lawrence, as well as practical training at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City extending over two semesters and one sum- mer session. Among the subjects required are English, psychology, physiology, zoology, chemistry, anatomy, and bacteriology; and along with these will go enrollments in design, bookbinding, metal and leather work, weaving, the 1] V\ J lA /\ “« eo Ue SEU DENTS: AND: THE WAR Uk making of jewelry, and other handcrafts work. In Kansas City stress will be placed on hospital and clinical practices necessary in dealing with the sick. Members of the hospital staff will conduct this latter work. For further details regarding the curriculum, see or write Professor Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the De- partment of Design, School of Fine Arts. ce ek HOW WELL DO YOU TYPE? Both men and women are likely to find the ability to use the typewriter of decided value at present. Typists, even more stenographers and secretaries, are in great demand in industry and for governmental offices; and the military forces never seem to include a sufficient supply of men who can type letters and orders accurately and keep de- pendable records. Obviously some students would be more useful soldiers serving as company clerks than as carriers of guns. If you feel that you may belong to this class, you might wisely do some work in typing by way of preparation for a more serviceable job ahead. Work in typing and stenography gives credit only in the Schools of Education and Business, but students in other divisions of the University are allowed to enroll in some of - the work upon the payment of the regular fees. For in- formation about typing and shorthand, inquire at the of- fice of either of the deans of the two schools named. RK ee LEARNING TO FLY Both elementary and advanced work in flight instruc- tion is offered at the University as part of the national 12: ww S/O.McE: <3) S U7 G:G-& SF ED: G20: 0 RSE S wr program established by the Civilian Aeronautics Admin- istration. Although this training is not definitely classified as military, skill in flying is unquestionably a very de- sirable attainment today. For information as to the re- quirements for enrollment in the C.A.A. courses, inquire at the office of the Dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture. Kak me MILITARY TRAINING AT THE UNIVERSITY The Federal Government has announced that it plans no increase in the number of R.O.T.C. units maintained at American colleges, but that those units already established will be continued and-utilized as a source from which to draw about ten thousand young officers every year. At the University of Kansas there are both a Coast Artillery unit and an Infantry unit. Courses in military science are open to all physically fit young men in the University, and credit in the work is allowed by most schools. To be eligible to receive a commission as a reserve officer in the United States Army, a student must have completed eight se- mesters of work in military theory, and have attended a summer training camp of at least six weeks’ duration for practical experience in the field. The basic course in mil- itary science, consisting of the theoretical work of the first two years, may be taken for credit alone, and although not sufficient in amount to lead to a commission, it will be of considerable value for many men. The first enrollment in military science may be arranged at the beginning of any semester during a student’s stay on the campus. ¥ KS SSID ENTS “AND? THE:cWAR (2% THE DUTY OF KEEPING PHYSICALLY FIT Both army and navy officials have pointed out that to keep oneself physically fit at this time is a primary duty of all loyal citizens; and a member of the General Staff of the United States Army has suggested that all colleges and universities make work in physical education compulsory. Although the University has not found it possible to take this eR as yet, we have maintained, and plan to continue to miantain, facilities aboundant enough to enable every student who will use the opportunity to exercise regularly, either by using the gymnasium or by joining in the or- ganized sports directed by members of the Physical Edu- cation staff. A varied program of intramural games is car- ried on throughout the year, in which all students on the campus are invited to take part. To become a member of some sports group one has only to make application at the Intramural Sports office in Robinson Gymnasium. Enrollment in courses in physical activity, for a limited amount of credit, is allowed in several schools of the Uni- versity. Dr. F. C. Allen, chairman of the Department of Physical Education, has arranged to use the course, Individual Gymnastics, as a means of aiding those who wish to exer- cise strenuously in preparation for military service or other war work. Re Re UNDERSTANDING THE WAR We hope that students at the University of Kansas will not be satisfied, entirely, with the preparations they are making to assume réles in the active defense of the nation, but that along with an interest in our military and indus- 14 * SOME SUGGES T bbs C OU R:S-ES * trial growth they will show an eagerness to understand the causes of the war and the issues involved. That this eagerness will not only develop but will find reflection in _ the reading on the campus and the choice of electives, we take for granted. Certain courses are especially to be recommended to those seeking light on the background of our war-torn world. Consider, for example, how much enlightenment might be gained from the course in economics, War Economy Problems, which deals with the effects of modern war upon both neutral and warring nations and analyzes the eco- nomic policies followed under war conditions. In Recent World History, among the subjects stressed, are the re- actions to the first World War and the conditions leading to the present one. International Law makes clear the ways in which nations have attempted to bring about or- derly and legal modes of dealing one with another and the difficulties standing in the way of harmony. International Relations covers a still wider area, treating of the manifo dealings and attitudes among states which result fro eir political, economic, and social institutions. Your especial attention is called, howevér, to a new course designed to present a summary review of the inter- national situation, The he course will con- sist of a series of lectures given by chosen men from the Departments of Economics, History, Political Science, and Sociology. The lectures will carry one hour of credit; they will come at some evening hour, and will be open to the public of this area. The timeliness of the course will be evi- dent from a glance at some of the subjects to be presented in it: “What was the Matter with Versailles?” ‘The League of Nations,” “How the War Came to Europe,” ‘““America, the Axis, and Russia,” “Japan, China, and the 15 w KOS Ue. <3 SIE BiNet S 2 AGN TURP BWW ACR Sok United States,” “The Réle of Latin America in the World Alignment, “The Conduct of the War,” “Resources of the Warring Powers,” “Problems of American War Economy,” and “Requirements for Victory and a Durable Peace.” March 5, 1942.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 18— Physical training of a type recom- mended by the Army and Navy is rapidly getting 1,850 University of Michigan students into wartime fighting .condition. Today, after four weeks of the first compulsory é hardening program in the univer- sity’s history, one official predicted that “there won’t be enough fat left on their bodies to poke a finger into by the end of Summer.” By order of the Board of Regents the program is required of every student registered in the draft or in any'special enlistment program, unless he is medically exempt. It aims to have the students in top- notch shape when they enter the armed forces and also to improve their chances for advancement. A Fall enrollment of about 5,000 is expected, but facilities are believed adequate. |Commando Training Begun at Princeton | Obstacle Course Being Used ‘| By 800 R. O. T. C. Cadets Special to THE NEW YorRK TIMES. PRINCETON, N. J., July 18— Training in fundamental com- mando techniques began this week for 800 cadets in the Princeton University Field Artillery unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps with the opening of a spe- cially designed obstacle course on a wooded hillside near Lake Carnegie. Planned by Lieutenant Raleigh ansl Jr., instructor in military ‘| tactics, to supplement the univer- sity’s compulsory athletic program ‘land give to R. O. T. C. students practice in surmounting barriers commonly met in combat, the ‘| course was constructed largely by) .| undergraduates. All cadets are required to nego- | tiate the course’s hurdles, sheer walls, tunnels and entanglements once a week. Emphasis at present \is being placed on developing the right technique in getting over the obstacles, although eventually stu- dents will be timed for speed inj covering the half-mile steeple- | | chase. Several cases of poison ivy have developed among men who rolled, fell or staggered from the limits of the course, and a hand-over-hand climb up a slender twenty-foot rope has made blistered hands the rule. ns Physical Education Made Compulso Western Reserve Adopt: New Program to Meet Military Needs Special to THz NEW YorK TIMES, CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 11—A4 new program of physical educatio for “self-preservation” is being in- augurated at Western Reserve Uni- versity under the direction of Rob- ert M. Grueninger, associate Pro- fessor of Physical Education, Dr. Winfred G. Leutner, president of the university, announced today, following faculty action. The pro- gram is compulsory and is “de- signed to equip each individual with the necessary requisites for induction into military service.” Professor Grueninger, who has just returned from a leave of ab- sence to develop the program with | Army and Navy officials at Fort|| eade, pointed out that among} other things fully accepted as im- | portant to the inductee are: “A to- tal body development.” “Combat efficiency connotes! more than condition,’ Professor Grueninger added. “It implies the ability to endure the utmost physi- cal strain and have enough to per- form with efficiency. This concept precludes the idea that a man can do all his training in an eleventh- hour program. It means that our youth should put on muscle and ac These skills, Professor Gruening er believes, may be listed under tw Classifications: Skills for comba as climbing, throwing, jumping, vaulting, div- ing, rolling, falling, and individual combat activities. ; The program to develop useful is h iA wy j IN TWO PARTS VOL. 39, NO.

Physical Fitness A Selected Bibliography * Prepared by a committee representing the American Physical Education Association and the American Library Associationt composed of THomas K. Cureton, Ph.D., University of Illinois (Chairman). (Physical Education and Recreation.) Citar E. Turner, D.P.H., Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology. (Health Education and Nutrition.) Emma McCoy Layman, Ph.D. (Mental Hygiene.) HIS bibliography of books on Physical Fitness is selective. It in- cludes books, published through October 1942, dealing with wartime phases of physical fitness, supplemented by a few of the better older books to complete the scope of the work. The dynamic aspects of physical fitness are now emphasized by the Physical Fitness Division of the U.S. Office of Education and Federal Security Agency. A larger number of books are given for Sports and Conditioning Exer- cises to emphasize the positive develop- mental aspects of fitness. Other phases are not neglected and some better books are listed for: 1. General Hygiene. 2. Nutrition. 3. Standards and Measurements of Fitness. 4, Scientific Analysis. _ Hygiene and nutrition courses will need those in the first two categories. Adminis- trators and teachers are dependent upon measurement and standards to motivate the pupils, to establish status as a basis of guidance, and to evaluate improvement. Most of all they need to know the practical activities. Students in professional classes will need books which deal with the basic scientific principles. All aspects are im- portant for the professional worker. The activity books were selected on the basis that they represent activities for physical fitness which are being empha- sized in the present wartime emergency. The following areas of emphasis were rec- ognized and are represented in the selec- tions: 1. Swimming and Warfare Aquatics. 2. Calisthenics and Gymnastic Condi- tioning Exercises. 3. Fundamentals of Team Combative Sports. 4. Wrestling, Boxing, and Rough and Tumble Fighting (Judo). * This list will appear also in the Research Quarterly of the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation. { This project was suggested originally by Carl M. White, of the American Library Association, Director of the University of Illinois Library. It came as a follow-up to Bulletin 23, of the American Council on Education dealing with Higher Education and National Defense which specified that a more definite and consistent program for physical fitness should be developed and required of all students at this time. In taking this matter up with the Department of Physical Education at the University of Illinois the matter was referred to the Research Council and the Governing Board of the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, which confirmed the above named committee to do the job of selecting the titles.

Allen Director of Physical Education - Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Although the information I am enclosing is not complete, I think it will answer in part the questions raised in your letter. We have run our students in our required courses over the Toughener Course several times, and in addition, many have competed inthe intramural contests which used the Toughener Course. Here are the figures for one instructor's classes, a total of sixty-seven cases. In the initial test nine @& sixty- seven, or 13.4 per cent, failed to scale the wall. All of these men, as a result of instruction, were able at a later time to scale the wall. The best time for any of the fifty- eight of the sixty-seven who did complete the course was 30.8 seconds. The slowest for any of the fifty-eight was 72 seconds, and the mean time for the course was 39.35 seconds. Later in the year near the end of the semester we found that the mean time for all of our students in the required course program was 35 seconds. In Mr. Stankowski's intramural contests over the Toughener in which approximately 400 men participated, the best time was 26.2 seconds. Only three men in the University have been able to run under 27 seconds,which was the record established by Mr. Faurot the first week the Toughener was in operation. In the intramural competition one team representing the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity had six men who ran between 28 seconds and 28.2. This to me was a remarkable performance. However, this group of six was selected from a membership of approximately seventy. I suspect that the information given above is about what you want.
