Lecture Series On Army Policy To Be Offered
Scabbard and Blade, senior honor military society, is sponsoring a series of lectures on military policy, how it grew and what it is today.
The lectures will be held at 7 p.m. every Wednesday, Oct. 10 through Dec. 12, in the drill hall of the Military Science building.
The first lecture Wednesday will be given by Dr. W. W. Davis, professor of American history. His topic will be the historical background of United States military policy through World War I.
Although the lectures were developed for the benefit of cadets in the R.O.T.C. of the Army, Navy and Air Force, they will be open to the general public.
Col. E. F. Kumpe, head of the campus R.O.T.C. unit, said there is more to the R.O.T.C. than an opportunity to complete an education.
The more the cadets know of military policy, its history, how it works, the weapons the United States now has and will have, the effect of these weapons when used against the enemy and when used against the United States, the better prepared they will be. Col. Kumpe said.
The series of lectures is also aimed to increase the understanding of the military program, what it means to cadets as to why they are in the them, and what it means to the nation.
Speakers for the nine lectures have been obtained from the faculty of the University, U. S. Naval Air Station at Olathe, and the Command and General Staff college at Fort Leavenworth.

A new one-year teacher training program for the deaf in Kansas is now in operation at the University Medical Center, Kansas City.
Offer Course To Teachers Of Deaf
Kansas has had some type of school for the deaf since 1861. But it has been necessary to hire teachers trained in one of the 19 other U.S. schools offering certified training programs.
Lack of teachers has prevented any expansion in the program to help the deaf.
In a recent survey of school children in Leavenworth, it was discovered that nearly 6 per cent are hard of hearing. If this figure is extended to all of Kansas, 28,197 children are hard of hearing. Only about one-fourth are being helped in any way.
Those finishing the course will receive a master's degree in education. They will be eligible for certification by the Conference of Executives of American Schools for the Deaf.
Offer New Course In AROTC
Flight operations is being offered for the first time to advance students in the Air Force R.O.T.C. This course, for which two small trainers are being supplied by the Air Force, involves studies in navigation, aerodynamics, meteorology, and command operations.

Her Odd Clothes Serve Same Function
When Rabeya Moozomdar, University student from India, was asked the significance of her clothes, she answered, "Just as yours." A fallacy has grown up in the $ \textcircled{4} $
A fallacy has grown up in the Western world that the primary function of Indian dress is to denote caste, she claimed. Humanly enough the first purpose is to keep warm and the second is to look attractive.

About eight yards of material go into the Indian "sari" that is held in place by a large ornate pin of silver or sold on the left shoulder.
"The sari is my national dress," she said. "I have grown up in the bright colors of the sari and am reluctant to discard it for Western clothing which I am unaccustomed to wearing."
During the reign of the Louis's in France, beauty marks were the fad. The "tika," a beauty mark worn in the center of the forehead, has been popular with Indian women for
"Westerners fill India with too much mysticism," Rabeba said. "Holy men aren't as numerous as people are led to believe. I have never seen a yogi and I have taught in three regions of the country."
The "tika" serves the same purpose as other feminine devices to lure males. Men often wear the tika just as Westerners wear flashy ties.
Term Papers And Theses Are Routine For Student's Wife
Indians know more about the Occident than Westerners about the Orient, she commented. Rabeya was accustomed to Western food, she saw television in England, and has seen more of the United States than many Americans.
Most students spend a lot of worry and time working on those annoyances known as the term paper and thesis, but Mrs. Laura Shields, 1209 Ohio street, has worked on so many of these papers she can't remember how many she's done.
"The most difficult papers are those I can't read." Mrs. Shields said. Pencil-written notes on notebook paper smudge. However, there is not much trouble in reading notes, she added.
centuries. It has no mystic signifiance.
Mrs. Shields does all kinds of typing, ranging from a 10-page term paper to a 600-page thesis. Since beginning this kind of work three years ago she has typed for students in most of the major departments of the University.
At one time it took two or three
She began typing for some of her customers when they were underclassmen and finally typed their theses. This year at graduation Mrs. Shields noted that she had typed the theses of 18 graduates who received his master's or doctor's degrees. Since Aug. 1 she has finished five theses.

which has lasted a week on one side.
Students furnish their own paper.
The rush season on papers comes just before Christmas and doesn't end until after the semester closes. During that time Mrs. Shields said she used to be "snowed under but I finally learned to say no."
She estimates she often spends 12 hours a day typing. Seventy-five to 150 pages is the average length of the theses she has typed. Others are only 30 pages and some are 600 pages. An average term paper is 10 to 15 pages but they may go as high as 40 and 50 pages.
During the division of India and Pakistan, she worked in a refugee social center aiding displaced persons. Her ability to speak several of the 80 different languages was valuable at that time.
She has a business degree from Emporia State Teachers college. She estimated an average of 60 words a minute in typing speed.
Mr. Shields is working on his doctor of philosophy degree in botany. They have two daughters, one in the first grade and the other 4 years old, and a 2-months-old son.
"Some of the English papers come over and over again from the files—especially those of the Elizabethan period." Mrs. Shields said.
Rabeya intends to get her master's degree in education and return home to teach.
"India needs leaders," she said.
