KU's SERVE-YOURSELF SYSTEM- Two women students are shown as they make use of the Student Union Bookstore's new self-service system in the basement of Strong hall.
Self-Service System Adopted for Bookstore
Students will serve themselves under the new plan at the Student Union bookstore, Ray Verrey, bookstore manager, has announced.
The move is necessary because of the cramped quarters the bookstore has in its temporary location in the basement of Strong hall, Mr. Verrey said.
Verrey assisted by clerical help worked out a shelving system which groups books dealing with the same subjects. For instance biology, entomology, and botany books are all put together.
The shelves are labeled and mimeographed diagrams of the shelving systems have been made up. The shelves are enclosed behind chicken wire fencing.
The plan is to fill the shelves with books and have them guarded 24 hours a day. When students begin buying books the procedure will be
to enter the east gate of the enclosure.
Inside, the belongings they have as they enter the gate—such as books and pencils, will be placed in a sack which will be stapled shut. The students will be given a mimeographed diagram of the shelying system as they enter the enclosure.
Students will move down the long hall and select their school books as they go. When they arrive at the temporary store, they will purchase pencils, paper and other school equipment.
As they leave the enclosure they will pay for their purchases at one of the three cash registers.

Army ROTC Unit to Become Test Unit for New Program
The Army ROTC unit at the University this fall will become a test unit for the new Army ROTC Branch General course.
By selecting KU as a test unit for this new curriculum the Department of defense greatly broadened the scope of Army training for students.
The Branch General course will permit Army students at KU to be commissioned in any arm or service of the Army. Heretofore, the Inantry and Corps of Engineers were the authorized options.

Col. Edward F. Kumpe commanding officer of the Army unit here, explained that all Army students except those in their last year will follow the same four-year course. It will qualify them for a reserve commission in any branch of the Army depending upon the needs of the service, the academic and technical training of the student his mil-
This Branch General training with its numerous options should add to the substantial increase in Army ROTC enrollment already indicated at KU, Col. Kumpe said.
Army, Navy and Air Force students who qualify in the ROTC as potential officers are permitted by Selective Service boards to complete their college education so they may be commissioned as reserve officers. Their service as reserve officers will be identical to the service now required by the draft act: two years of active duty and six years thereafter in the reserve components

The Army Unit at KU will celebrate its 32nd anniversary this fall. It has graduated and commissioned about 1,000 men since it was organized in 1919.
Anderson Elected To Science Group
Dr. Kenneth E. Anderson, professor and director of the KU Bureau of Educational Research and Service, has been notified of his election as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
"The unanimous action of the council in electing you a fellow of the association." Howard A. Meyerhoff, the association's administration secretary wrote, 'is in recognition of your standing as a scientist.'
Since 1949 KU also has produced 50 ROTC graduates who received and accepted Regular Army commissions. These men are commissioned at the same time and follow the same career pattern as the graduates of West Point graduating the same year.
