After 56 Months at Sea Capt. Kung Heads NROTC
A veteran of 56 months sea duty, Capt. William Kung, will take over the U.S. navy program on the University campus Monday, the Daily Kansan learned today.
Capt. Kung, whose home is in Overland Park, will relieve Lt. A. B. Copping, who has headed campus naval administration since last spring, and has been on the navy staff here since Nov. 10, 1944.
The navy captain will be the highest ranking officer ever assigned to the K.U. campus. He has been visiting in Lawrence this week, and will have offices in the Military Science building.
Lt. Copping will have enough service to be eligible for retirement from service after he is relieved here.
Forty-Niners Receive Fire Torch In Ceremonies
The flaming torch of progressive education was given to the class of '49 at the 20th annual new student induction last night.
The firebasket ceremony was carried out by members of Mortor board and Sachem.
The torchlight ceremony was re-established by the All-Student Council traditions committee after a two-year lapse. The last traditional program was held in 1942.
About 1,200 new students and students who entered the University in 1943 and 1944 marched from the firebasket near Corbin hall to the Memorial stadium. After an interpretation of the University seal by Dean F. J. Moreau, an explanation of the symbolism of fire was given by Chancellor Deane W. Malott. Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College read scripture verses pertaining to the seal.
A bugle call started the torch race from the Rock Chalk cairn in back of Frank Strong hall to the stadium platform.
The torch was relayed down the hill by members of Sachem, and presented to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary by Rudy Carl, chief Sachem, junior, and sophomore class officers It was passed down the line of senior, to Duke Burt, freshman, who lighted the altar fire.
New students, led by Jane Peterson and Burt repeated the oath of allegiance to the University after Chancellor Malott, Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts led the singing of the Alma Mater. The traditional Rock Chalk ye'! closed the ceremony.
No More Phy Ed Required on Hill
For the first time since before the war, the physical education requirement for both men and women has been dropped it was learned today.
Monday noon is the deadline for payment of fall semester fees, Karl Klooz, bursar, announced today. The penalty for payment after that time is 50 cents a day for three days, after which registration and enrollment will be cancelled if fees have not been paid.
Fee Deadline Is Monday, Bursar Says
A student whose enrollment is cancelled must have special permission of his dean to re-enroll, and must pay the late registration and enrollment fee of $2.50.
About half the students have paid their fees, Mr. Klooz said.
The only reason given by the College for the dropping of the requirement is that, with the war over, "it is no longer necessary."
Enrollment in women's gym classes has dropped from 550 to 250, while only 65 men are enrolled in College physical education classes.
Even the government had a thumb
Haldeen Braddy Resigns Because of Ill Health
Prof. Haldeen Braddy, of the English department, has resigned because of poor health, the Daily Kansas learned today. Professor Braddy, is going to his Commerce, Texas, home, undergoing extensive medical treatment. He had been on the Hill a year.
Alas, Alack (Of Books) - - -
A Student's Dream of College
A student's dream of college with- out books may be coming true!
Professors are as disturbed as students because, expecting only an average enrollment this fall, they filed early orders for fewer books than they now need. Telegrams requesting immediate delivery have been sent to publishers but a week or 10 days probably will elapse before the orders can be filled, professors said.
Some students have shrugged off the book shortage with "I probably wouldn't have read it the first week anyway," but others are wearing worried frowns. It may even go so far as to cause a few students to miss their afternoon visit to the Union fountain.
Freshmen are running in and out of bookstores, phoning upper-class-men, and asking other freshmen how they're doing' in the mad hunt for books that has the campus in a slight turmoil.
in the pie. Emergency defense measures included the order that many of the metal plates, used in printing books, be destroyed for the scrap metal drive. Because of this, copies of some textbooks can no longer be made.
WEATHER
Bookstore managers say that the curtailment of paper allotments and the labor shortage in paper mills and publishing houses have added to the problem.
Cloudy with showers and thunderstorms today and tonight. Cooler today west and north central.
"Why have I been collecting all this scrap paper," a former boy scout asked plaintively.
It all leads to added activity on the campus for another week but more mid-night oil saved for a later date.
Three Culture Series Planned For School Year
Culture—gobs of it—will be offered to K.U. students this year in the form of three University-sponsored lecture and concert courses.
Franklin P. Adams of the radio program, "Information Please" will be the first speaker in the community lecture course for 1945-46. After Adams' lecture on Oct. 25, a discussion on "What About Russia?" will be presented Dec. 11 by Lewis Browne, author, and Ely Culbertson, bridge authority and the author of the Culbertson world organization plan. Owen Lattemore, authority on China will lecture on "Changing China" on Oct. 25. All three lectures will be presented in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 p.m. and students will be admitted on activity tickets.
