Veterans Committee For Army Credits Reviews 960 Cases
Since the establishment of the Armed Forces Credit committee at the University in October, 1945, a total of 960 cases has been handled for student veterans, Leonard Axe, chairman of the committee, announced today.
The office has been transferred to room 220, Frank Strong hall, from room 225 in the Chancellor's suite. Room 225 will be occupied by the Dean of the University, Dr. E. B. Stouffer.
At least one member of the committee is on duty at all times to interview veterans interested in enrolling and to evaluate their military training. Credit is recommended for military service alone in cases where such service approximates courses offered in military science at the University.
Of the 960 cases handled, 525 studies have been completed and recommendations made to the committee on advanced standing for credit to be awarded to veterans for work done while in the service.
Through the advanced standing committee, credit is also allowed for college courses completed through the Armed Forces Institute by correspondence, for work done under the Navy College Training program (V-12), the Army Specialized Training program, Army Air Forces premedicology Training programs, and for other technical and specialized training offered by various branches of the Armed Forces.
About 200 applications for credit are partially completed at present by the committee which is awaiting further information from veterans. The number of cases now being processed totals 235.
Army veterans present photostatic copies of Form 100 and Navy veterans submit copies of Form 553 to the credit committee for evaluation. An applicant who is still in the service should request Form 47 (Request for Report of Educational Achievement) from his educational or special service officer and submit it to the committee.
'Must Solve Crimes Quickly'—Moorhead
"If the police department doesn't quickly on criminal cases, they frequently go unsolved." William B. Moorhead, police-reporter for the Kansas City Star, told members of the University club last night.
He spoke of his experiences in covering criminal cases for the newspaper. He also said that the crime wave in America is increasing, particularly juvenile delinquency, and proposed solutions for controlling teen-age vandalism.
The police reporter revealed how he had seen the third degree used on prisoners, with beatings by chairs and rubber hose. He said that he had seen drunken policemen stripped of their badges and shoved into cells, and had heard of some of them stealing confiscated liquor and selling it to bootleggers.
"Policemen today are different," he said. "Today's policeman is not so close to the public. He must be educated to do his work on a more scientific basis."
Most crime today is committed by teenage boys, ex-convicts, and men rejected for service because of police records, he disclosed.
"The police department asks for better homes and religious training to keep down juvenile delinquency. Parents should tell their children why certain things must not be done, and they must be more companionable" Mr. Moorhead explained.
Mr. Moorehead also spoke at an initiation dinner of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity.
Memorial Dinner Tonight
A combination dinner and business meeting of the Student Memorial committee will be held at the Hearth at 6:15 p.m. tonight, Nancy Tomlinson, chairman, announced today.
This Sounds Too Much Like a Dorm at K.U.
Houston. (UP)—Mrs. Archie Brown. is losing sleep.
A week ago she heard a noise in the hallway at 2 a.m. and asked, "Who's there?"
"Beg pardon, guess I'm in the wrong house," said a man.
Two nights ago she awakened to find the light on in her bathroom. It was the same man, who said:
"Beg pardon, guess I'm in the wrong room."
Student Council Approves Plans For Book Store
Plans for the Student Union book store as drawn up by the planning committee were accepted last night by the All Student council.
Wendell Nickell reported the committee had decided that the book store be made a part of the Memorial Union corporation, a non-profit organization, so it would be exempt from taxes.
Approval of the book store now must be given by Chancellor Malott and the board of regents.
The report on the book store is as follows:
"It is recommended:
I will be "reconfinished."
"L. That a book store be established."
"II. That the store be entitled the 'Student Union, Book Store'.
"III. A. That this book store be operated as a non-profit organization for the benefits and interests of the associated students of the University as an integral part of the Memorial Union corporation.
b. That the book store as a part of the Memorial Union corporation, be under the control and auspices of the Union operating committee, the committee to be handled by a full time manager who shall be directly responsible to the Union Operating committee.
"IV. That this book store be operated on the principle that the profits not be accumulated for the interests of any group or individual but that any profits accruing to the book store be redistributed to the student purchasers in some form such as rebates, merchandise, or service.
"V. That this book store be financed in the following manner:
A. By transfer of money balance and books on hand belonging to the W.E.C. book exchange—$10,000.
B. By transfer of money financed through activity ticket reserve fund—$3,000.
C. By loan from Union Operating committee $10,000.
"VII. That All-Student council authorize its committee to continue any further negotiation necessary for the completion of this project according to plans here presented."
Members of the Council not present were Lois Thompson, Anna Stevens, Emily Stacey, Franzena Jackson, Sewall Macferrand, Charles Hall, Mary Jane Zollinger, Richard Nelson, George Worrall, and Joan Anderson.
A motion that the Council appropriate $125 for Dandelion day was passed. Dandelion day is to be sponsored by the Jay Jane and the Council rather than by the activity ticket fund as in other years.
