Graduate To Caterpillar For Orientation Program
Charles Edmond Krosse, '48, a graduate of the School of Engineering, has been selected for a college graduate orientation program of the Caterpillar Tractor company.
To qualify for the program the applicant must be a graduate of an accredited college or university, and must have shown superior scholastic ability. Extra-curricular activities and the proportion of college expenses earned by the student are considered.
The company attempts to place men according to their background, education, and personal characteristics. Before an applicant is accepted he is interviewed and recommended by managers of company departments.
The one-year training program consists mainly of work in divisions of manufacturing, engineering and research departments, technical lectures, and conferences, and preparing special reports based on assigned studies and investigations.
In a letter to T. DeWitt Carr, dear of the School of Engineering and Architecture, W. C. van Dyke, program supervisor for the company, said, "although we may not interview regularly at your school, we are always pleased to have interested seniors write to us concerning employment opportunities with this company. They may be assured that their written applications will always receive our careful consideration and that we will notify them as soon as possible of our decision."
New Activities Director Has Obtained A Rare Thing-An Office In The Union
In America, if you are important, you usually have your own private office. But, this isn't the case for James Burgoyne, the University's new activities director. Although Mr. Burgoyne holds an important position on the faculty he still doesn't have his own office.
By RICHARD HUNTER
At the beginning of this year Mr. Burgoyne was assigned a modern office in the Union building, the Student Union Activities office. Everything was going along smoothly until about two weeks after school began, then all Student Union activities broke loose.
The S. U. A. started functioning again, as it does about the second week of every semester, and they too needed the office. Mr. Burgoyne, an amiable person, thought if it would be perfectly all right if the S.U.A. shared his office with him. So in came S.U.A. members from everywhere, painting signs, using his typewriter, telephone, and desk until Mr. Burgoyne barely had room to write a small note in cramped shorthand.
Mr. Burgoyne didn't object nor did the S.U.A., but conditions weren't exactly conducive to work. Then, a solution to the entire problem was found by someone in some kind of a very high place. The Y.M.C.A. could vacate its office which is next to the S.U.A. office, and Mr. Burgoyne could move in there.
new office in the Union ballroom. So now everyone is happy except the S.U.A.; Mr. Burgoyne has a new office, the Y.M.C.A. has a new office but they still have the same old one
Then another problem arose, what to do with the Y.M.C.A., the Y.M.C.A. is also an important campus organization and they deserve an office. Then, someone in possibly an even higher place than the person who solved the first problem, hit upon a bold plan. We shall build a

Coffeyville Plans English Revision
J. Henry Hedley, head of the Cofeeville English department, has requested the help of the University curriculum laboratory in a revision of the English curriculum for Cofeeville High school and the junior college.
Dr. Cloy S. Hobson, director of the curriculum laboratory said that considerations will begin the latter part of October or early November. Methods, classes, English practice and teaching are part of the proposed revision.
The Coffeyville department of education will co-operate in this revision.
Republicans Hear Slough
The Young Republicans club heard M. C. Slough, assistant dean of the School of Law, say at a meeting Tuesday, that in the coming elections in Ohio "there isn't a stronger person in the Republican party than Bob Taft, and if the Democrats can beat him they can beat almost anyone we can put up."
Lou Henry, president of the Lawrence city council and unopposed candidate for state representative, also spoke. He supported Mr. Slough's opinion in the Ohio situation and said that the administration is not attempting to beat Taft on a domestic basis, but on foreign issues.
Mr. Henry said that many improvements are being made in Kansas, not only at the University, but also in the state's roads and mental institutions.
The next meeting will be Thursday, Oct. 12.

Luton, England—(U.P.)-Playwright George Bernard Shaw, 94, has become so tired of life that his doctors sent him home from the hospital today in the hope it would renew his old desire to live to be 100.
The doctors feared his melancholia over prospects of semi-invalidism is more of a threat to his well-being than the broken thigh and recurrent bladder ailment from which he is recovering.
Weaver's Fall Window Unveiling—Thursday evening
The famous dramatist was removed from Luton and Dunstable hospital, where he underwent an operation recently to mend a broken thigh bone, to his Victorian mansion at Aoy Saint Lawrence. The trip was under strict medical supervision.
Shaw was showing excellent progress in recovering from the hip
operation and treatment for a bladder condition. But the fact that he will be at least a semi-invalid the rest of his life has depressed him to the point where he doesn't care what happens to him.
His doctors would have preferred keeping him in the hospital, but gave in to his constant pleadings to be allowed to go home.
