League-Leading Kansans Leave For Oklahoma
Eleven members of the University of Kansas' league-leading Jayhawkers will leave for Oklahoma City tonight. They play the University of Oklahoma Sooners tomorrow night in a game which should be one of the thrillers of the current Big Six campaign.
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen will take Charles Moffett, Dean Corder, Gordon Reynolds, Gus Daum, Owen Peck, Kirk Scott, Herb Heim, Norman Carlson, Odd Williams, Everitt Hill, and Lou Goehring on the trip south. This is the same squad that made the Missouri trip with the addition of Goehring, who was on restriction at that time.
O. U. and K. U. Seek Third Win
Both teams will be seeking their third victory, Kansas having won from Missouri 45-28 and Nebraska 48-33, and Oklahoma having beaten Nebraska by 40-37 and 48-45 scores. The Sooners, however, lost to Kansas State by a 52-1 score at Manhattan in their opener while Kansas is undefeated so far.
Harold "Scooter" Hines leads the Sooners this year in scoring. Hines has scored 161 points in 12 games, including 40 in his first 3 Big Six games. He will undoubtedly be a challenge to the Kansas defense, best in the league so
HAROLD HINES far with a 30.5 defensive average.
Short Sooners This Year
Hine's teammates are also rather short, in fact the starting five averages only 5 feet 10 inches. Harold Kieth, O.U. publicity agent, calls this year's Sooner team the "roundball runs." Other Oklahoma regulars are Ed Lindenburg, Don Buelow, Jack Landon, and Howard Brinegar.

Kirk Asks Congress For Draft of Nurses
Physical Therapy Course Offered To Meet Army and Navy Demands
Washington—INS—Major General Norman T. Kirk, army surgeon general, appealed to congress today to authorize the drafting of nurses. He said the flow of wounded soldiers from the war front to the states increased 270 per cent in the past year, and that 18,000 nurses are required at once to meet minimum demands.
Clarifying its appropriation to the Jayhawker magazine, and passing a motion admitting upperclassman as well as freshman to the freshman dance, the All-Student council met at 12:55 p.m. today in the Fine Room of the Memorial Union building, with Doris Bixby, vice-president, presiding.
A.S.C. Clarifies Fund For 1945 Jayhawker; Acts on Class Dance
Moved by Jack Button, Council secretary, the following motion passed after a short discussion:
"Be it resolved that the All Student Council appropriates $608 to the Jayhawker for the purpose of publication of a fourth issue of the Jayhawker magazine. Be it understood that every possible attempt will be made to return this sum to the All-Student Council. This resolution shall precede all previous resolutions."
The action taken on freshman dance followed a decision by the council at a meeting Tuesday to underwrite the class to the extent of one half its expenditures.
- Formerly the council had decided to return to the Jayhawker magazine its profits from last year, providing they had not already been placed in the Council treasury. According to Clifton Calvin of the business office these profits amount to $608 and have not yet been transferred to the Student Council fund. Upon being transferred, according to today's decision by the council, the money will be appropriated to the Jayhawker magazine.
Because of the urgent demands for physical therapists from both the army and navy, a 9-month course will be offered by the University of Kansas School of Medicine, Dr. Gordon M. Martin, director of the department of physical medicine, has announced.
Men and Women Will Enroll
Both men and women will be enrolled, Dr. Martin said. Only women will be assured commissions in the armed forces upon graduation, however.
Students having two years of college credit will be accepted, with 15 hours of science preferred, but not required. One semester of anatomy and physiology in Lawrence will be followed by a 5-month training period in physical therapy technique and work with clinical patients at the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City.
Tuition for the course will be $75 for residents of Kansas, and $125 for out-of-state students, Dr. Martin said. During the last three months of training, allowances are granted to cover living costs.
The University of Kansas also offers a 4-year course in physical therapy. Both the 4-year and 9-month courses have been approved by the council on education of the American Medical association. The next term in the new 9-month program will begin March 1.
Urging women to consider physical therapy as a career, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a radio broadcast last night, said that persons were needed badly in that field. Of the 2,500 trained physical therapists in the United States, almost half of them are serving in the armed forces, Mrs. Roosevelt added.

Students in Protest At Increased Tuition
Evanston, Ill.—(INS)—Northwestern university students called a campus demonstration today in protest against a surprise increase in tuition fees from $336.50 to $400.
An art刊 in the Daily Northwestern, student newspaper, declared, "if the university has raised its tuition rates to pay for a golf course upon which the students cannot play, it has all the earmarks of a vicious racket."

H. C. Lucas, army auditor from the headquarters of the Seventh Service Command in Omaha, Nebr., is at the university checking on the army medical contracts, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today.

Everything from "needles to threshing machines" is being manufactured in 300 Kansas town, which have one or more plants, said N. C. Balderson, president of the Balderson Manufacturing company of Wamego, on the "Kansas Unlimited" program last night over E.F.K.U.
KFKU Speaker Lauds Small Business
Interviewed by Dr. John Ike, of the department of economics, Mr. Balderson said that small business has made a real contribution to Kansas industrial growth and to the war effort. He referred to businesses located in towns with an average population of 1,700.
The purpose of the small business was originally to supply local needs, but it later contributed to national and even world markets. Mr. Balderson explained.
More than 100 Kansas towns have active planning committees for postwar industrial possibilities, the speaker said. Although small industries are "virtually stripped of manpower at the present time", many workers will return after the war with added knowledge gained in large plants and they will be able to do a better job than before.
That snow plows are manufactured in a Kansas town with a population of 1,700, is indicative of the fact that the geographic location of Kansas is not a handicap for national and world markets, Mr. Bolderson said.
Next week on the "Kansas Unlimited" broadcast, "Postwar Possibilities for Cities in Kansas" will be discussed by Fred Karr, general manager of the Gas Service Company, Topeka; Chancellor Deane Malott; and Charles S. Cook of Concordia.
