Allies Prepare
To Enter
Torn Naples

(International News Service)

The way was cleared today for
early American and British occupa-
tion of Naples when German de-
fense lines outside the historic city
crumpled under terrific Allied on-
slaughts and the Nazis gave up their
bitterly defended strong points in
the mountain passes.

A spokesman at the headquarters
of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in
North Africa said that prospects of

~ early conquest of Naples were “very
- bright” and all battle front dis-
patches indicated the Germans soon
would evacuate the city. |

U.S. Army Reported Near Naples

Latest reliable advices placed
troops of the United States fifth
army only 18 miles from Naples, and
unless all present indications are
eountervened by unexpected cir-
cumstances, it appeared likely that
within the next 24 hours the Stars
and Stripes would fly over the
metropolis.

A London report said the Ameri-

cans had'surged into ancient Pom-
peii on the southeastern fringe of
Naples.
» Dispatches from General Fisen-
hower’s headquarters made it clear
that Nazi destruction of the city
and its military installations now is
complete.

New successes also were scored
by the United Nations in Russia and
the Southwest Pacific.

Aerial Photography,
New Field, in Book
By H. 1. U. Smith

“Aerial Photographs and Their
‘Applications,” a book by H. T. U.
Smith, assistant professor of geol-
ogy, was published this summer by
the D. Appleton-Century Co. The
book gives the simpler methods of
“making maps from aerial photo-
graphs, and interpretation of photo-
graphs with special reference to the
geologic point of view. Aerial
photography for the engineer, geog-
rapher, and military scientist is al-
so treated.

There are many illustrations in the
book, half of them arranged for
stereoscopic examination. The pic-
tures were taken in Hawaii, Alaska,
and about 24 states. Professor Smith
-worked on the book for a year. It
is now being used as a textbook
in two naval training schools.

The University was one of the
first schools in the United States to
‘offer courses in aerial photography.
"The first one was started five years
cago for geology students. After the

" -war started another was added for
‘military training. Four former stu-
dents are now officers in this work.

This summer Professor Smith
taught a class to 50 professional
petroleum geologists in aerial pho-

_ tography in Wichita.

Council System
Was Organized
During Summer

The All-Student. Council, which
originated last spring when the
Men’s Student Council united with
the Women’s Self Governing Asso-
ciation, spent an active summer get-
ting organized on its new system,
with Clarence Engle acting as presi-
dent in the absence of Peggy Davis.

The main business of the Council
last summer consisted of revising the
old WSGA and MSC bills and draw-
ing up new bills of its own. The nine
bills passed by the Council during
the summer were on legisiative pro-
cedure, elections to the Council,
parking on the campus, creating a
permanent archive in Watson library
for all University publications and
documents, smoking on the campus,
judiciary procedure, provision for
Council keys, committees to the
Couneil, and the election of class of-
ficers and freshman representatives
to the Council.

The. ASC also provided for the
publication of a summer student di-
rectory, investigated and found jus-
tifiable the $2.50 rise in the summer
student health fee, and considered
plans for selling activity tickets to
the military groups this fall. .

Women serving on the ASC during
the summer were: Jill Peck, Janet
Marvin, Doris Larson, Frances Per-
kins, Claudine Scott, Mary Martha
Hudelson, Ruth Krehbiel, Grace
Curry, Kathryn Bonewits, Betty
Woodring Hall, Maxine Jones, Phyl-
lis Wickert, Doris Bixby, Caroline
Baker, Florence Harris, Louise Al-
'derman, and Paula Reeve.

_ Men on the Council were: Thorn-
ton McClanahan, Reed Whetstone,
Harlan Cope, Clarence Engle, Joe
Beeler, Ben Matassarin, Alex Roth,
Dick Miller, Harlan McDowell, Frank
Gage, Mou Hui King, John Sells, and

 

R. J. Atkinson.

 

Summer Activities Reviewed;
Semester Crowded With Events

 

For the information of former stu-
dents who weren’t enrolled during
the summer, there follows a resume
of what happened on the campus in
the University’s first full summer
semester:

Sixty ROTC -juniors and seniors
received their calls'to OCS or army
camps; Richard B.° Stevens was
elected president of the Alumni. As-
sociation, he is a Lawrence lawyer
and a member of the class of 1925; a
“war-time” journalism minor of two
semesters was announced by the de- }
partment of journalism; twelve
alumni were cited for distinguished
service to their country.

Prof. H. P. Cady, former chair-
man of the department of chemistry
and discoverer of helium in a Kan-
sas gas field, died Mey, 26 at his
home.

Clarence Engle was elected to
head the All-Student Council for

 

the summer, since Peggy Davis was
not enrolled «during the session;
J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of
Engineering, resigned June 2, the
resignation effective August 1; the
Registrar’s office announced that
nearly 1,100 students were enrolled

WEC Revises
House Rules

The summer activities of the
All-Student Council consisted main-
ly of revising the old WSGA rules*
and changing the closing hours for
University women.

Fhe WEC adopted the following
closing hours, effective from July
14 until the beginning of the five
week session: Monday, Tuesday,
and Thursday, 10:30 p.m.; Wednes-
day- and Sunday, 11 p.m.; and Fri-
day and Saturday, 1:00 a.m.

The 1 o'clock closing hour on Fri-
day and Saturday nights did not
prove satisfactory for continuance
in the fall semester under present
conditions on the campus, and the
WEC changed the closing hours to
12 o'clock on Friday night and 12:45
on Saturday night. Closing hours on
the other nights remained the same.

Another action of the WEC was
to send out letters to all high school
girl graduates inf the state, encour-
aging them to come to the Univer-
sity this fall.

Members of the Women’s Execu-
tive Committee last summer were
Doris Larson, president; Kathryn
Bonewits, vice-president; Doris
Bixby, secretary; Caludine Scott,
treasurer; Phyllis. Wickert,. Mary
Martha Hudelson, Frances Perkins,
Betty Woodring Hall, Jill Peck,
Paula Reeve; Janet. Marvin, Ruth
Krehbiel, Grace Curry, Caroline
Baker, Maxine Jones, Louise Al-
derman, and Florence Harris.

Saturday Classes
Stay, Lawson Says

Suggestions for doubling . class
work on Friday or Monday to elim-
inate Saturday classes were stopped
by Dean Paul B. Lawson of the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
when he said today this would be
impossible.

In this accelerated program the.
students have enough work to ab-
sorb in one day without adding
another day’s assignments, the Dean
said. Lack of space would also
handicap such a move, and some
thought is being given to arranging
for more classes on Saturday
rather than abandoning the present
ones.

 

Orchestra To Start

The University of Kansas orches-
tratra will hold its first rehearsal
of the year in Hoch auditorium,
Thursday evening at 7:30 o’clock,
according to Prof. Russell L. Wiley,

“We expect. to have a 70 piece
orchestra this year, and the pros-
pects are looking good,” Professor
Wiley stated. “Both the orchestra
and the band will be presented in
a formal concert this fall and will
be heard regularly over KFKU
throughout the year.”

Tryouts for, the orchestra are be-
ing held Wednesday and Thursday
nights and. possibly another night
this week, according to Professor
Wiley,
