Enlistees At Present Are Being Placed On AAF Waiting List
New information regarding enlistments has been received at the registrar's office and the Lawrence recruiting station.
James K. Hitt, registrar, has been notified that students with more than 60 hours of credit are now being placed on a waiting list after enlisting. Previously only students with less than 60 hours or two years of college were required to wait, as was reported in the Jan. 12 Kansas. Sgt. Leonard Greene of the recruiting station said that their quota had been reduced to about 2 persons week. He said this is temporary, but that more permanent freezes in air corps enlistments were anticipated. Before the reduction the station was able to take four students a week as enlistees into the air forces.
"Students should stay in school until a definite date for them to ship as been received," Sgt. Greene emphasized.
"Come back to school next semester by all means; the freezing of air
corps enlistments indicates even more clearly that the services are trying to say, 'Stay in school until you are needed.' Mr. Hitt said, "If they wanted students, they wouldn't freeze enlistments.
"Reports from marine sources indicate that marine reserves are being given an opportunity for deferment," Mr. Hitt said.
Under a new system, marine reservists may stay in school until they receive their call, and then they may continue schooling upon request.
They may stay in school while applying for officer's candidate school, and still get a delay until the end of the year if they aren't accepted for O.C.S.
"This is the first break through, and indicates O.C.S. possibilities to college students, with implications that other branches may have similar plans," Mr. Hitt emphasized.
There are no restrictions at present on enlistments into the regular army.

Gifts Totaling $20,000 Given Anonymously
Two initial gifts of $15,000 and $5,000 to the Kansas University Endowment association to endow scholarships were announced today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Income from the endowments will be used for scholarships open to "all worthy and needy high school graduates, both men and women, who desire to attend the University of Kansas." However both donors wished to remain anonymous expressed the hope that qualified engineering students could be found for the scholarships.
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, and Irvin Youngberg, secretary of K.U. Endowment association, have been made members of the scholarship committee by terms of the gifts
Youngberg said that both donors plan to increase their endowments through annual gifts.
"The annual gift endowment is growing in popularity these days." Youngbger said. "Because of high taxes and low interest rates on investments many persons who would like to create some memorial are unable to make a lump sum contribution large enough to make a valuable annual scholarship. But by spreading the endowment over several years it can soon be built into a valuable scholarship producer."
Character, scholarship and promise of future usefulness to society will be the bases of evaluation in awarding the scholarships.

This type of close body contact play was present through much of the closely contested game that was won by Kansas State in the final two minutes.

8th Army Recaptures Suwon; Reds Retreat
Tokyo, Wednesday—(U.P.)—U.S. 8th army troops in western Korea drove another 10 miles north Tuesday, recapturing Suwon and forcing the Chinese Communists to fall back toward Seoul, 17 miles north.
Pilot Flies Candy Airlift In Korea
A former University student performed a candy air-lift for two hungry G.I.'s in the Korean mountains.
Lieut. James R. Topping, Lawrence, a student in the College in 1945-48, spotted the two American soldiers atop a 3,000-foot mountain while he was flying a small observation plane near Waegwan.
They radioed a request for candy bars so Topping flew back to his base and returned to drop 24 candy bars to the hungry fighting men.

With the capture of Suwon, the 8th army had advanced 12 to 14 miles since it launched what it called a "reconnaissance in force" Monday. Osan, 10 miles south on Suwon, fell without a fight.
In central Korea, however, other 8th army troops withdrew from the embattled Wonju area to set up a new and straighter defense line to the south.
Fifth air force fighters and bombers blasted the Reds with 419 sorties during the day, hitting 33 towns among a long list of targets along the front.
Chinese rear guards put up only a token fight in Suwon before fleeing north. Allied air fleets raked them and mowed down at least 150 troops.
However, the 8th army still has not come into contact with the main Chinese forces below Seoul and it seemed unlikely that the Reds would yield much more ground without an all-out battle.
One report said the Chinese were throwing up a defense line just north of Suwon.
An 8th army spokesman disclose that a third Chinese army—the 40th—had moved through the forme South Korean capital and joined the 38th and 50th armies south of Seoul. That put some 20,000 Chines troops between Seoul and the 8th army line.
In east - central Korea, other United Nations forces dug in above a new defense line after abandoning positions just south of Woniu an enemy too stunned and disorganized by their 10-day stand (follow up the withdrawal.
An 8th army communique said there was "no enemy activity reported on the central front" during the day.
