Annapolis Has One Idea To Produce Naval Officers
The naval academy at Annapolis seems to be interested in teaching one trade only—that of a naval officer. Everything else is secondary.
At least that is what Paul J. Uhlig and Theodore W. Tober, N.R.O.T.C. students say. The two men recently returned from a week's visit to Annapolis, as representatives of the University. They were chosen for the honor on the basis of their work as members of the N.R.O.T.C. unit team.
At the academy, everything is regimented and all of the cadets match wherever they go—even to church. Everyone follows the same curricularum, and there is no such thing as an elective subject. Each class period begins with a quiz and the remainder of it is devoted to discussion and recitation.
Competition at Annapolis is extremely keen, Tober said. Every sport imaginable is played, and those who play are in the game purely to win.
"Strangely enough, everything is run by the cadets," Uhlig said. "The officers do nothing but teach in the classes and act as general supervisors. The graduating class sets up the rules and sees that the others abide by them."
They stayed in a monstrous dormitory, about twice the size of Frank Strong hall. Among the many other conveniences in the building were a gymnasium and swimming pool.
During their stay at the academy, the K.U. men took two cruises in radar navigation boats, flew in a navy flying boat, and visited the crvpt of John Paul Jones.
"Annapolis is not only an interesting and hospitable place, but beautiful as well. Everyone treated us so well that we hated to leave," Uhling and Tober said.
Hotel Business Declines
Atlantic City, N. J.—(UP)—The week-end business of hotels has declined 30 per cent during the last year, according to John F. Kinerk, promotion director of the American Hotel association. Kinerk told the New Jersey state Hotel association that the buyers' market has returned to the hotel industry after seven years of the sellers' market.
Club Distributes Voting Information
Information sheets on voting requirements were distributed at a meeting of the Schoeppel-for-Senator club Tuesday. This information was compiled by Charles D. Stough, Lawrence city attorney, and is being distributed by the club for new voters and those who will vote by absentee ballot this year.
Fred A. Beaty, second year law student, reported on a speech made by Mr. Schoeppel on the campus recently. Mr. Schoeppel is a former governor of Kansas.
During an informal discussion of the campaign issues, Jack Greene, chairman, explained that the club has been a "spontaneous organization that started with a dinner given for Mr. Schoeppel recently and has continued with the active support and interest of the students."

Jim's Kissin' Days May Have To End
Rockford, Ala., May 6—(UP)—Alabama's huge governor, James E. (Kissin' Jim) Folsom, vacated his "most eligible bachelor" post today and honeymooned with a beautiful new bride half his age and little more than half his size.
The 6-foot 8-inch governor was wed to tiny Jamelle Moore, 21-year-old former secretary on the governor's staff, in a surprise ceremony here yesterday.
The governor and his new first lady, a gorgeous brunette, left immediately on a wedding trip to Florida. Friends and relatives would not tell exactly where the couple had gone.
The 39-year-old widowed governor is currently facing a paternity suit filed by a blonde divorcee, Mrs. Christine Putman Johnston. Mrs. Johnston, a native of Governor Folsom's home county; claims that he is her common-law husband and father of her 22-month-old son.
