Ita Civvies or Sea for Sailors As Campus Sings Bell Bottom Blues; Some Activities Sunk in Naval Action
By PAUL CONRAD (Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
More than half the nearly 400 navy students on the campus will go to sea Feb. 1 because of the return to peacetime navy college training, a meeting of the sailors indicated late yesterday.
A group of about 30 V-12's who will graduate after the next semester will be offered K.U. engineering courses in a semester beginning March 4. Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, explained at the meeting.
The rest of the navy men will be inactivated and must attend some college giving NROTC training. Their schooling will be at their own expense, and they may take any subject, provided they take also the NROTC naval science classes.
All V-12 students being graduated at the end of this semester will be moved to Lindley hall Feb. 1 and will live there until their graduation, when they will be commissioned and go on sea duty, Capt. Chester A. Kunz has announced.
Some of the NROTC students will come under the G.I. Bill of Rights, it was learned, but many will not be able to continue in school because of finances.
As one student put it, "If you take my uniform, I won't have anything to wear, and new clothes will run into money."
The total number of naval science' courses required of NROTC students may be cut from 36 to 24 hours. Capt. Kunz told the group.
He explained that the navy has recommended to congress a bill giving peacetime NROTC students their tuition and $50 a month, but that no legislation will come until the question of the army-navy merger is settled.
"If you can stay in school for six months or so, do it and he recommended. "The only requirement for those on inactive duty going to school will be that they keep the navy informed as to their whereabouts.
Tefft in Hospital

Shall We Eat Here? Asks Jerry Of Course, Horse, Says Florence
Sgt. Theft participated in three major battles in the Pacific zone.
A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a- whooops—the lady has a horse!
"And he's temperamental, but I love him just the same," says Miss Florence Black, associate professor of mathematics, of Jerry her horse.
"I was afraid I'd have to walk back to town, and that was definitely cut as far as I was concerned." Miss Black said.
About the picnic and Jerry's temperament—Miss Black, not having classes decided to ride Jerry into the wide open spaces and spend a day in the woods north and west of Lawrence. She filled her saddle bag with a lunch—hamburger and buns for herself, and an car of corn and an apple for Jerry—and left early in the morning.
She was at the time having several days' rest from teaching math to the sailors, who were having between semester vacation. (She says all of her students now are sailors and that she "loves em all.")
Just how temperamental he is. Miss Black won't say, but when she and Jerry went on a picnic a few weeks age, she let him choose the place for her campfire.
At rosen the dismounted and built a fire to cook her "Wimpy meat" but Jerry objected. He didn't like the location. Miss Black realized this when the horse started down the trail in disgust. She put out the fire remounted, and let Jerry saunter through the woods until he found a place to his liking.
"It was much simpler to let him choose the picnic spot than to walk back to the campus," she said.

"The gravy's in the navy . . ."
So a popular war-time tune advertised, and that seems to be the situation on the K.U. Campus.
From any angle, it looks like a muddle.
The effect of yesterday's navy announcement of cessation of University contracts, Feb. 1, remains to be seen. What will happen to the navypacked campus activities depends upon whether the men themselves will choose to go to sea duty, remain at KU., or attend some other University.
The first effect will be a decrease of enrollment in the engineering school, the College, and the business school. A total of 222 navy trainees are enrolled in engineering, about 100 in the College, and about 50 in business. With about 200 of the navy men indicating that they plan to leave, the schools will see some decrease.
Campus activities from A Cappella choir to club clubs may be hit hard.
The All-Student Council has four navy men who may or may not continue in school. They are Cecil Langford of Kilogre, Tex., PT-9; Leonard Brown of Kansas City, Mo., PT-9; Dean Corder, of Welda, PT-6; and Wendell Nickell of Smith Center, navy medic.
The varsity basketball squad may lose the services of Corder, Gus Daum of Topeka, PT-10; Wendell Clark of Victoria, Ill.; PT-8; Gilbert Stranel of Hays, PT-7, all first-stringers.
Inter-fraternity council, headed by William Jenson, Colby, PT-10, has a large number of navy members.
The K-Club, with Leroy Robison, Lawrence, PT-9, president, may lose a number of navy men who have earned letters through participation in various athletics.
Political organizations, principally Pachacamae which is headed by Vincent McCabe, Kansas City, Mo., PT-9, may find themselves minus some staunch soap-box orators.
Social fraternities may be affected in various ways. Delta Tau Delta, on one hand, has no navy members, while Sigma Alpha Epsilon, at the other extreme, has 35 navy chapter members.
Engineering organizations may see decreased membership. Among these would be the various American Institutes and Theta Tau, with Dean Smallay, Neodesh, PT-10, president; Sigma Tau, Larry McAneny, Seattle, Wash., PT-6; Tau Beta Pi, Jim Thomas, Bartlesville, OKla., PT-6.
The Ku Ku pep club has members in the navy, and Jack Kreed, Hutchinson, cheerleader is in the NROTC.
Many of this year's varsity football men who may or may not have been here for participation next year are navy trainees. This group includes Lercy Harmon, Artesia, New Mexico, PT-7; Franke Burke, Columbus, O., PT-8; R. D. Moore, Bellflower, Calif, PT-7; James Irwin, Dallas, Tex, PT-9; Dud Day, La Jolla, Calif, PT-9; Bobby Burch, Rockwall, Tex, PT-10; Robert Gove, St. Joseph, Mo, PT-6; and Albert Chase, Parsons, PT-6.
