Friday, Sept. 26, 1952
University Veterans' bureau officials said yesterday that although only 35 Korean veterans have turned in their certificates enabling them to attend KU under the bill, that number will rise to a few over 100 within a few weeks as the rest of the blanks come in.
The more than 1000 Korean war veterans enrolled in the University are advised to give careful thought to their course of study, since the Veterans' administration permits only one change in their major under provisions of the Korean Gi Bill.
Quill Club Offers Prizes for Writers
VA officials advise that before a Korean veteran even apply for training under the new bill, he should have clearly in mind just what his goal in life might be so that the training may serve as a means toward arriving at that goal.
The Quill club made plans for its annual fall contest and a new magazine it plans to publish this fall, at a meeting Wednesday night.
It was decided that $15 in prize money will be offered, with $5 to be awarded to each winner in the short story, poetry and miscellaneous divisions. The last division may include plays, essays, feature articles, or almost anything else.
Purpose of the new GI education and training program is to help a veteran reach a definite goal such as a college degree, a profession, or a vocation.
The contest will close on Friday, Oct. 31. Students desiring to enter manuscripts are requested to leave two typewritten copies of each entry with Thomas Sturgeon, faculty adviser for the club, in 211 Fraser.

DRIVING INSTRUCTION CAR—E. A. McFarland, manager of extension instruction, and Otis Nutting, campus policeman, look at James Tysor, driving instructor at this summer's driving school, explains the training car to Willard Kaiser, law, and Olin James, graduate student.
The University Extension bureau offers students and faculty members the opportunity to become capable automobile drivers this year when it again opens its Driver Education course.
Driver Education Program Offered Again This Fall
This non-credit course is open to any student, or member of the faculty or staff of the University for a small fee per lesson. There is no actual classroom work, all work being done in the University's driving car.
As soon as the instructor feels that the student has qualified as a capable and careful car handler, he is permitted to obtain a Kansas State driver's license without taking the test. Actually the course is much more thorough than the state examination, but the pressure of such a test is missing.
course. Not more than two lessons can be taken in one week. The Extension service provides texts, films and literature for the student.
When the prospective student indicates his interest in the program, he is given a test of his present abilities and from the results, the instructors determine whether he should take the five or ten-lesson
Whether a student is driving now or not, he is urged to drop by the Extension office, room 115 Fraser, to take a test of his capabilities. This year there will be only two instructors available so the number of students will be limited.
An additional day of auditioning for the University theater has been scheduled for Monday.
More Theater Auditions Scheduled for Monday
All students who wish to audition then must apply in 202 Fraser by Friday.
Coach Has Great Hope For AFROTC Riflemen
"I don't see how we can miss!"
With that statement, T/Sgt. Harold G. Swartwood, optimistic coach of the Air Force ROTC rifle team summed up the prospects for that group as they began organization this week with an eye towards capturing the William Randolph Hearst trophy for the top ROTC rifle team in the nation sometime next spring.
The team which won second place' among all Air Force ROTC units in last year's competition met Tuesday evening for the first time this fall and began mapping plans for as rigorous a schedule of shoulder-to-shoulder matches as that organization has ever attempted.
Sgt. Swartwood, who has already set his sites on the coveted Hearst award, has scheduled challenge matches with ROTC units from all of the University's football opponents this fall with the exceptions of Texas Christian university and the University of Santa Clara. Ten members of the team will be taken to Ames, Iowa, Dallas, Texas, Columbia, Mo., and Manhattan to fire matches with ROTC rifle teams of those schools.
Teams from Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma A&M are tentatively slated to fire similar shoulder-to-shoulder meets with the KU squad in Lawrence on the Saturday mornings immediately preceding football games w i t h those schools.
"Not only will our boys be getting in condition and obtaining valuable practice and experience for the big meets next spring." Sgt. Swartwood explained, "But they will also be getting four nice trips, two of which are by air, and the chance to see all of the football games this season.
In addition to the dual matches Sgt. Swartwood is planning a Big Seven meet for these same conference schools' teams to be held in Lawrence sometime during the 1952-53 school year. The local AFROTC unit will also sponsor an invitational match for five or six teams sometime in the spring.
Besides the Hearst competition next spring, the team will also participate in the Little Camp Perry Invitational match at Kemper Military school, Booneville, Mo., which drew 500 shooters last year, and the National Intercollegiate Shoulder-to Shoulder match sponsored by the National Rifle Association of America in March.
Sgt. Swartwood will have all but one of the members of last year's two teams back to form the nucleus of this year's group. The lone graduation loss is Richard Kumer, a member of the first team. Other members of that group who are back are Frank S. Jennings, George Lund, Max Embree, and Norman Wilson. The entire number two outfit composed of Hubert Dye, Lorimer Armstrong, Don Tice, Mike Wayland, and Rod Dyerly are back.
In addition to those groups, Sgt. Swartwood reports a promising crop of freshmen and transfer students who "will be as good as the boys we have now."
Instead of just two teams, Sgt. Swartwood intends to send four teams, two units of basic AFROTC cadets, and two groups of advanced students to the Hearst shoot.
"And I've already got a spot picked out for that trophy," the grinning Sgt, Swartwood said.
Initial competition for the Hearest trophies are divided into Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC divisions. The final winners among those groups will compete for the top Hearest award.
Although the Ivy league has been called "Ivy" for many years, the eight colleges in the league did not recognize the term Ivy league until they formally agreed to it at a meeting in July 1952.
