This Education Deferment Is Okay, Students Say, But—
Student opinion on the new educational deferment policy issued by Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey is generally favorable, according to interviews recently conducted in Watson library. However, some students were still rather hazy as to just what effect the plans would actually have.
Frank Koenig, business senior, said, "I think the country does need education to foster its plans for the future. It's giving some a special benefit, but it is a good thing for the future.
Richard Klempnaver, College junior, said, "I believe the tests in the right direction, but in my estimation there are some loopholes in it."
Kenneth Keller, College senior, said, "I suppose it is the right thing to do. It's creating sort of intellectual hierarchy because it will be drawing a line. This separation might be resented."
Lawrence Baldwin, College junior, said, "The tests will assure a good student of his education, making him certain of finishing college before serving in the armed forces."
Hans Peterson, College sophomore, said, "I think the new policy will be beneficial for students not in OMK. It will keep quite a few in school."
Dean Nickell, College junior, said,
"I think the deferment plan is a good deal, especially for the younger age group—the 18-year-olds."
Mary Crews, College sophomore,
said. "I don't know anything about
the content of the tests, but I think it a fairer way to determine whether a boy remains in college."
Kep Johnson, College junior, said,
"It sounds as if the new plan will
be most beneficial to the upper-
classmen."
Charles Schnetzler, College senior said, "I think the new policy is pretty fair to the students. I will keep most of the people in college who would stay anyway."
Kenneth Beck, College freshman, said, "I believe that the new deferment policy is fair and enables all students who really want an education to stay in school."
Ronald Todd, College sophomore, said, "I don't think the tests are exactly fair to those not in college. I think deferring students till the end of the academic year is enough."
Homer Longsdorf, College junior, said, "I think the tests are a fine idea. I think it would be stupid to send the talent off to get killed. We need talent to continue improvement after a war is over.
Barbara Tucker, College sophmore, said. "The new policy gives the fellows some idea where they stand. It will put pressure on them to make better grades."

Final Resting Place Found For The Rock Chalk Cairn

Bv VERNON SUTTON
The Rock Chalk Cairn, which has suffered destruction twice its long and harried career, is about to come to roost once more
The cairn, stepped in K.U. tradition and the scene of many impressive ceremonies since its erection in 1926, will be moved again. The cairn had been taken down to make room for the campanile, but plans are now to reconstruct the cairn in conjunction with a new flag pole to be erected south of the stadium.
Robert Reiswig, head of the committee for the relocation, said that in its new location, the cairn would not distract from the campanile and still would be in a conscious spot.
"The caim will be easily visible from the stadium, in its new location." Reiswig said.
The cairn has been destroyed twice, once by workers and once by vandals. However, many of the stones which were carried away and lost have been returned:
Sachem, men's honorary society, will retrieve one stone, a stolen window ledge, which was recently discovered on a farm near Lawrence. The ledge from Old North College was found recently and the information was received in the dean of men's office. No one knows how the ledge got on the farm.
Sachem initiation was also held at the time and the freshmen voluntarily appeared in their caps.
The Rock Chalk cairn is the traditional rallying place for K.U.
The Rock Chalk pile was dedicated on May 7, 1926, by Dr. Frank Strong, Merle Smith, Miss Hannah Oliver, and George Leis. Leis was the first student enrolled in the University.
The buildings of cairns or piles of commemorative stones as rallying centers is an ancient practice. Like landmarks, cairns stand upon the world's high places from China's sacred mountain to Confucius, westward back to California's Mt. Boudidoux.
Need Officers In Marines
There are still several vacancies in the marine corps officer candidate course.
Capt. W, R. Terrell, professor of naval science, has announced that college graduates or regularly enrolled seniors in good standing may apply if they aren't working for a degree in either medicine, dentistry, or theology. College seniors to be eligible must be graduated in the spring of 1951.
Candidates will be enlisted in the marine corps reserve and given a 10-week course at Parris Island, S.C. The second phase of the training will be at the marine corps base at Quantico, Va., where candidates will take a five-month basic officers course
Interested students should see or call Major H. Poggemeyer, Jr., U.S.M.C., at the N.R.O.T.C. unit in the Military Science building, phone 341.

In 1926, stories of the vital influence of the traditional symbols of other schools were brought to the campus.
Harvard and its Harvard Yard, the Yale Fence, the Oxford Martyr Monument, the Missouri columns, and California's "Big C" on the side of the Berkeley hills and stories of other monumental rallying places were brought to the campus.
The result was the desire to have a traditional rallying place at K.U. and the subsequent erection of the cairn.

Rumblings From Within
(Continued from Page 8)
"The means by which Pachacamac discovered the alleged ineligibilities is somewhat of a mystery," the Kansan said. "Neither the registrar's office nor the eligibility committee will release the names of ineligible students to other students."
Pachacamac men had their talents.
On April 11, 1934, the Kansan reported that "Political vandals using eggs as bombs and brown paint to spread 'terrorism' turned the M.S.C. election Kansas Cityish today as they attacked the strongholds of the Oread-Kayhawk party.
"The houses of Delta Chi, Beta Theta Pi, Acacia, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, leaders of the Coalition group, were 'bombed' by rivals, who the members said were Pachacamac sympathizers."
After this bit of highly slanted journalism, the Kansan, adopting a tongue-in-cheek tone, dutifully recorded Pachacamac's protests of innocence.
Hearing rumors that Oread-Kayhawk would send a request to Governor Landon for national guardsmen to patrol the polling places, a Kansan reporter interviewed Campus Policeman George Snvder.
George said "that he would watch for high-powered motor cars racing across the campus with politically corrupt politicians, but he didn't expect to see any."
Like Black Mask and the Independent coalition, the Oread-Kayhawk machine had pushed across a victory its first year. But, like its predecessors, it learned that Pachacamac always has the last laugh. The Independents had won in 1926 and lost for the next four years. Oread-Kayhawk won in 1931 and lost for the next three.
So the cycle was completed. Oread-Kayhawk dissolved and the Progressive Student Government league (P.S.G.L.)
