KU Students Display Mixed Emotions On Question Of UMT
end of $25.
prize of each vote.
Campus opinions vary widely concerning the bill for Universal Military training recently introduced in Congress.
Veterans generally favored UMT to help make "men out of boys." Opinion among woman students seemed to be split 50-50, and comments from men subject to the draft, ranged from the philosophical to the resigned.
One stallum supporter decided that UMT is "something every red-blooded American boy should have—like his first drink of whiskey." A practical college sophomore maintained that "The only reason I'm opposed to it is because I'd be in it."
All 18-year-olds would "be in it" for a training period of six months if the UMT bill now before Congress is passed. The implication is
that only a limited number would be taken at first. Congress is contemplating taking about 60,000 a year.
After the training period, seven and one-half years in reserve status is required. This includes the guarantee that reservists will not be called to active duty for more than 30 days without Congressional approval.
The six months training would be comparable to the orientation and basic training given regular servicemen. In emergencies, men who have completed their training could be prepared faster for combat.
Congress committed itself to the principle of UMT by passing draft legislation last June. Congress is divided on the main problem, when and how UMT should be started.
As Congressional opinion is divided, so is the opinion of University students.
Women expressing opinions for the UMT proposal maintained it was "necessary in the present situation." A college freshman decided, "We shouldn't be caught off-guard like we were in the last war."
Veterans admit that the service has certain "undesirable elements," but feel that six months' training "would not be bad for the nation's youth."
One veteran summed up the argument by saying, "The situation is getting in this day and age where a boy of 17 or 18 has to mature fast, and that's one way of doing it."
"Everybody's going in sooner or later, and that little training certainly won't hurt," is the resigned attitude many college men are showing.
"It would definitely be damaging to culture and to the American people to take away persons from their training in science and arts," one fine arts junior said.
in the United States, there would be enough money to build an educational institution in each county with money left over."
Other women contended that "six months' training was not enough to do any good." A college junior came up with the idea that, "If all the money used for UMT in one year were given to all the counties
A pre-dental student favoring the UMT plan said, "UMT is fairer than the draft because it would allow a student, after his six months training, to complete his education."
An education freshman thought "UMT would be a good thing because it would give the boys a chance to get some practical knowledge before starting college."
Still another opinion expressed faith in the present draft system. "It's practically the same thing." a college sophomore said. "That it's military training can't be denied, and it's universal because everyone has to go."
"History shows us that instead of preparing a nation, it instills militarism in daily life to a point where people seek war as a solution for problems," a business junior said.
Some students said that the training period should be split over two summers. A college senior believed that the trainee "should be able to choose the time when he wants to go in."

"UMT is merely a duplication of the present system, and is uneconomical," an education senior contended.

UNESCO To Aid Education In India
The UNESCO gift coupon plan to aid education in India, which has been adopted by the county council in New Delphi India, was discussed by P. N. Varughese, graduate student from Travancore, India, and Charles Satterfield, college senior, Monday.
They spoke at a men's brotherhood meeting of the Evangelical United Brethren church at Worden in behalf of the Douglas county council for UNESCO.
"This project shows wonderful international spirit," Mr. Satterfield said.
Through this plan, Mr. Satterfield said, Christians will aid education of adults in New Delphi, about one half of whom are Hindu refugees from Pakistan.
The coupon book will enable the recipient to purchase educational, scientific or cultural equipment at cost.
Two large projection screens, five amplifiers having four speakers each and two silent films to be used by the 19 adult education centers in New Delphi will be purchased for the project.
Chemists Continue Energy Research
Before you can have a nuclear energy-propelled car or an atomic furnace in your home, science will have to find suitable materials with which to utilize nuclear energy.
The University is continuing this research with a contract from the atomic energy commission for $10,-962. In announcing the contract today, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said that Dr. Paul W. Gilles, assistant professor of chemistry, would continue as director of the research.
In the past two years, KU has had contracts from the commission involving more than $9,000 each. This work has not only provided valuable research information for the commission, but also has enabled two students to get advanced degrees. Both are associated with the commission at present.
Aiding in the search are University chemists. They are seeking practical substances that can be used at the high temperatures essential for transforming nuclear energy into useful forms.
A third student at work on the project is Quentin de Lattice Wheatley. He has accepted employment at Oak Ridge when he finishes the work for the doctor of philosophy degree this year.
John L. Margrave, who received the doctor of philosophy degree in 1951, has a post-doctoral fellowship at Berkeley, Calif. Paul J. Richardson, who received the master's degree in 1950, is working at Hanford, Wash.
The other two scientists are Thomas A. Milne and Bernard D. Pollock, graduate students. Both are working toward their doctor of philosophy degrees.
The number of materials that can be used in high-temperature work is limited. Many of the classical ones are unsuitable for nuclear energy purposes. Dr.Gilles said.
One of the metals that may be
suitable to some extent is titanium. We are principally concerned with the study of titanium monoxide gas which will help us determine the behavior of titanium under high temperatures." Dr. Gilles explained
Dr. Gilles said that it is quite possible that within the next 10 years titanium metal will have wide use. It has many desirable structural properties, is lighter than iron and is abundant.
Another aspect of the problem is to study the energy required to tear molecules apart. This aspect of the research is important because of the use of fluorine as a rocket fuel.
In their search for suitable materials, the chemists will be working with borides, which are relatively new substances that have extremely high melting points. The objectives of boride work are to determine the composition and/or durability vaporization and to determine the heats for these processes.
Senior To Play Piano Recital
Marilyn Barr will be presented by the School of Fine Arts in a senior piano recital at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Strong auditorium.
Miss Barr has been on the dean's honor roll of the School of Fine Arts each semester of her four years here.
She is a student of Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano. She began her piano studies at the age of nine with Mrs. W. B. Dalton, formerly of Lawrence, now living in Topeka.
She was president of Sigma Alpha Iota, national music sorority, and vice-president of the Light Opera guild. She is now treasurer of the A Cappella choir and organist at the Trinity Episcopal church.
Miss Barr is a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority.
Company Consultant To Address Group
She is the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Harold G. Barr, 1300 Oread.
After receiving her degree from KU in June, Miss Barr plans to go to New York to get a master's degree in music.
"One Hundred Years of Research on Cholesterol and Related Sterols" will be the subject of a talk by Dr. Oliver Kamm, consultant to the Parke Davis company, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in 205 Bailey.
Dr. Kamm, former professor of organic chemistry at Michigan and Illinois universities, is the author of the first textbook on organic qualitative analysis. He has made numerous contributions to organic and medicinal chemistry.
A temporary exhibition gallery in the Museum of Art is almost finished and will be ready for use the first week in March, Prof. John Maxon, director of the museum, announced today.
Dr. Kamm is sponsored by the University section of the American Chemical society.The public is invited.
Temporary Gallery Set Up In Museum
The new gallery will be in the east end of the museum's lower floor. It will be constructed so that both pictures and objects may be displayed beneath glass.
"Treasures from Northeast Kansas" will be the first exhibition display shown in the new gallery.
Mrs. Jukes To Talk On Radio Program
Mary Lou Jukes, graduate student who has the lead in "The Lady's Not For Burning," will be on the KU Calvacade of Hits program on KFKU at 7 p.m. today.
Mrs. Jukes will talk about the difficulties encountered by the actors in practicing for "The Lady's Not For Burning," the University's third major play beginning Feb. 27.
KU Calvacade of Hits is a compilation of the top tunes of the week at KU as determined by a campuswide postcard survey.
