"We have waged a considerable campaign throughout the state to get employers to list their jobs for students with our offices. Except for summer jobs, the response has been good. We have a lot of calls for graduates with particular kinds of specialized and technical training," Mr. Jones said.

'Cities Need Wise Plans'
"Wise city planning will pay dividends in better communities" says the Bureau of Government Research report.
In the 1930's the growth of Kansas population was only 3.3 per cent as compared to 18.4 per cent in the 1920's. When material shortages and accompanying high costs are overcome, a wave of residential and business construction will begin.
The author, Harold A. Gibbard, assistant professor of sociology at KU, recommends that communities change plans only when they obviously need to. He says communities should plan several years ahead
City planning, meaning essentially zoning, began in Kansas in 1921. By 1940, 36 Kansas cities had zoning. At present Atchison and Leavenworth are the only two first class cities not zoned and the latter is being surveyed.
Zoning has worked well in Kansas, the report says. However there are three apparent limitations. (1) Law forbids requiring any change in buildings or uses existing when zoning became effective. (2) Some cities have underestimated future business needs, thus allowing business to encroach on residential areas. (3) Too often planning boards have been easily persuaded to grant exemptions from regulations.
Amateur Station Gets Call Letters
WOAHW will be the call sign of the University's Amateur Radio club, Paul Gratny, engineering junior and president of the club said recently. The license to operate the station was received this week from the federal communications commission.
The club has its radio "shack" on the second floor of the electrical engineering laboratory, and will broadcast as soon as the antenna is installed.
Robert G. Kurtz, engineering freshman, and member of the technical staff, said that the station may operate on all amateur radio frequencies. Now it will confine its activities to the 20-meter band because of a temporary lack of equipment.
Summer School Attracts Veterans
About 2,000 veterans have signed up at the University veterans bureau to attend the summer session, Prof. E.R. Elbel, bureau director, announced Friday. He said that "fully one-half" of the some 5,400 veterans now receiving University training will have registered before the deadline which has been extended to Wednesday.
Full subsistence payment will be made during summer session if the veteran carries the minimum five-hour schedule. This rule applies to veterans attending classes under the bill of rights or P.L. 16.
"The reason for this large summer session enrollment isn't hard to guess. They're trying to make up for lost time." Professor Elbel said.
"Those veterans who will return this fall need only notify the V.A. to stop their training by signing a form in the veterans bureau sometime between June 1 and 12. Everything will be arranged, provided they don't go to another school during the summer," he said.
Officer On Trial For Prison Conduct
Washington — (UP)—The navy department confirmed today that Lt. Cmdr Edward N. Little of Monrovia, Calif., was on trial at a closed court martial here but declined to reveal the charge because of its "secret nature."
The proceedings were first revealed by radio commentator Drew Pearson in his weekly broadcast last night. Pearson said that witnesses have accused Little of "squealing to the Japs on his fellow Americans" while in a Japanese prison camp.
Pearson said Little is accused of reporting two fellow prisoners for violating Japanese prison rules. Both subsequently were starved to death, Pearson said.
Pearson said. Pearson said Little was a graduate of the naval academy at Annapolis and that the charge against him had been "boiled down by the Annapolis brass hats to conduct unbecoming an officer."

Women Journalists Cheered By A. G. Hill Kansan Editor '17 Visits Shack
A. G. Hill, Pennsylvania newspaper publisher, dropped in at the Daily Kansan newsroom Thursday, his old stamping grounds, and left everyone in the building with a nice, warm feeling inside.
What Mr. Hill said, was, there is a definite place in journalism for women writers, and that several of the top newspaper jobs in the east are filled by K. U. graduates. Meets K. U. Graduates.
He told a story of how he met several K. U. graduates back east. Mr. Hill, who was known as "Scoop" in his undergraduate days, ran across a big story a few years ago. One of the Associated Press big-shots was a K.U. alumnus, so "Scoop" tipped him on the story.
The next day, Mr. Hill got an agonized phone call from one of the key men at United Press, who wanted to know why the heck they hadn't got the word too. Mr. Hill explained that he'd done a favor for an old classmate, and by golly he'd do it again if he wanted to.
The UR big shot thought that over. You do mean to tell me you're the Hill that went to K. U, in 1917? "I love ure," said Mr. Hill.
I ture an, am,
"Well, Scoop Hill, you old so-
and-so," yelled the UP man, "I'm the
reporter who used to wait tables
The caller, Ross Downing, and Mr.Hill worked hand-in-glove after that.
Like Alice, Mr. Hill was editor of the Daily Kansan in 1917. After the war he returned to K-U, to edit the Graduat- magazine for four years. Those post war years were just like this era, he said. There was the same percentage of ex-army clothing, women's skirts were even a little longer, and some of us old classmates had crew cuts.
Like After First War
News Of The World
The student of today, seems a little more cautious, but is still full of the same spirit, he said.
"I use lots of them on my paper," he said, "but darn it, just as soon as they learn what's going on they up and get married."
Mr. Hill thinks women journalists are on the way up.
