Kansan Comments M.U. Plans for Medical School May Keep Students from K.U.
In view of Missouri's plan to establish more adequate medical education through its state university, Kansas university may lose many potential medical students from the neighbor state. It can not be said, however, that the Missouri legislators should not pass the bill providing for the last two years of medical training in Missouri. The real issue at stake is whether the school for the last two years of medical training should be established in Kansas City, Mo., or at Columbia, Mo., where the university offers the premedical training.
The primary cause of the shortage of physicians in Missouri's rural areas has been attributed to the fact that the state is not training its own doctors. When the older physicians die there are no young ones to take their places, and a critical problem has resulted—for many families living on isolated farms it would be impossible to obtain medical aid in an emergency. In many counties that once had 25 medical men, there are now three or four—and those men are more than 60 years old. There are now only 1,300 physicians serving people of Missouri outside of Kansas City and St. Louis. Of that number 812 are more than 65 years old; and 391 are older than 70.
Another reason for the need of a medical school in connection with the state university is the fact that it is almost impossible for 2-year medical students at the University of
Missouri to enter the medical schools of other states, for they take only the "cream of the crop" and limit their classes chiefly to the lower classmen in their own schools. Supporters of the medical school movement advocate that if Missouri medical students could receive training in their own state university, they would be more likely to return to the communities from which they came to practice their profession and would thereby help to alleviate the problems of rural medical care which are now so acute.
The curators of Missouri university do not agree with many Missouri doctors that the school should be established in Kansas City. The Missouri State Medical association has pointed out that no amount of spending on a hospital an dother facilities for the school could provide, in a small city such as Columbia, the variety of medical cases needed for study. The association reported that among almost 70 approved medical schools in the United States only four maintain their two-year advanced training school in cities with a population less than 60,000. Nearly all of them are in cities much larger. Those who would like to see the medical school established in Kansas City, maintain that setting up the school in Columbia would be asking the state to spend a large amount of money for facilities inferior to those that are being offered free of charge in Kansas City.

Those not in organized houses are asked to bring clothes to Meyers hall during the week of April 15 to 21. There will be a box placed in the hall for the donations, Miss Mcclure said.
The Y. W. C. A. goal is 15,000 pounds of clothing, for both winter and summer wear. At least five pounds is needed from every student on the campus to meet this quota. Those going home over the weekend may find clothes at home suitable for the drive, Miss McClure suggested.
Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, said, "If you have any old suits that you think you could wear for six more months, give them away."
This nation-wide clothing drive needs the support and interest of both faculty and students, Miss McClure explained.

With firm intentions of avoiding the multitude leaving Hoch auditorium after Alec Templeton's performance Monday night, "Bobbie" Ford and Marilyn Roseman, Alpha Chi's, escorting their housemother, searched for a short cut to the great out-of-doors. Choosing a likely-looking exit, three red faces emerged into the night air from a door marked "Men's Room."

After appropriating various articles of clothing from her roommates to add to her already gaudy costume, Irene Sewell, Kappa, managed to transform herself to her satisfaction into a bowery butterfly, in preparation for the Phi Gam bowery party Saturday night. The jolt came when her date, Roy McVey, entered the house and seeing her disguised countenance peering over the bannister, innocently asked, "Will you please call Irene Sewell?"

Taking the horse by the reins, so to speak, Mr. Mott, of Mott's stables, has evolved a method of reducing the current problem of illusive gas coupon by using a more modern version of the old "one boss shay". At the same time, he obligingly provides a taxi service for the foot-sore Delta Gamma's on their hike to class.
"The foundation is a memorial to a great Kansan and a tireless friend of the university." Professor Flint explained. "It is a practical and appropriate expression of our faith in the better university of the future."

The move will probably be made after materials are released for remodeling the shop's building, Mr. Brown said.
Resembling one of the swiftest of pre-war streamliners, minus the whistle, Marge Easter gave way to a year-long ambition and applied herself to some concentrated bannister sliding after an astronomy class in Lindley hall the other night. From the top floor to the basement, ending in a decided thud at the bottom. Marge repeated the process several times before her athletic activities were interrupted by an irate, night-shirted engineering student, who lives in the basement.
Mr. White, internationally-known editor of the Emporia Gazette, was a former student in the University of Kansas and supported it throughout his lifetime.
