K.U. Will Train Bong Scholars In Aeronautics
K. U. has been selected to train scholarship student in aeronautical engineering through a plan of the Richard Ira Bong memorial foundation, Chancellor Deane W. Malott, announced today.
One of the American schools fully accredited in aeronautical engineering by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development, the University will assist in educating 50 of the best qualified high school graduates each year.
CAPT. EDDIE RICKENBACKER
Chancellor Malott, in making the announcement said, "The University of Kansas is pleased to be included among the institutions that will share Foundation in educating American youth in this highly important field.
"The plan of the Bong memorial foundation to offer a living memorial to the late Major Bong and his compatriots is one of the finest projects in America today and will add materially to the aviation industry in the era ahead," the chancellor declared.
The memorial foundation, organized in Poplar, Wise., bv friends and neighbors of the late World War II ace will award $1,000 scholarships yearly through public contributions.
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, famed World War I top-racing ace, is honorary foundation chairman. Honorary vice-chairmen are Gen. H. H. Arnold, Col. Jimmy Stewart, motion picture actor.
You Aren't at K.U. If You Don't Stand In Line for Books
Have you been standing in line for books? You aren't an eager K.U. student if you haven't been, simply because there is no other way.
The longest line leads to Rowland's store at 1401 Ohio. Here is found a new "twist" to this standing in line deal that wasn't found in the army or anywhere else except on icy, off-perpendicular 14th street hill.
Army veterans grumbling "I thought when I got out of the army I was through with standing in lines" are suddenly brightened by the sight of a good-looking ed-ed sliding by on all fours. Breaks the monotony any-way. (No fair tripping, fellows, might break something else.)
Standing in the line might have its interesting side, but inside the store the situation looks hopeless.) The place is so jammed that you can't open the door without saying "pardon me."
"Pardon me for knocking you down." that is.
Students may get a "bit tired" standing in line, but bookstore employees are having a time, too. The rush starts at 8:00 a.m. The doors are closed at 5:30 p.m, but the store isn't cleared of customers until after 7. Then there remains the job of telegraphing orders for more books.
Text books are still regarded as non-essential, and are on a quota according to the number of books ordered a year ago. The books needed last year won't serve the great increase in enrollment this semester, and the situation may be worse next fall.
Encouraging, isn't it? Cheer up, it's a long time till finals.

Maybe They'll Wish They Hadn't
New York. (UP) — There's a bump in the pavement in a block where several waterfront bars are located, and in the darkness at 1 a.m. today a driver hit it and the rear doors of his truck flew open.
Eighteen cases of chewing gum bounced out and were scattered along the block.
Bar customers rushed out,
deviled into cartons, and began
chewing. Other truckmen
stopped and joined the scramble.
Neighborhood residents dashed
down from apartments.
When a patrolman arrived, he flicked on a flashlight and the beam hit the trade name on one of the broken cases.
