41ST YEAR
Naples Falls To Allies As Germans Flee
Troops of the United States Army today captured the city of Naples, second largest port of Italy, and southern defense garrison of Rome. A special communique said, "Troops of the Fifth Army have entered Naples. The city is reported clear of Germans."
Thus, the first phase of the daring campaign launched by Allied forces under Gen. Mark Wayne Clark at Salerno ended in complete triumph.
The German Army still was intact but on the run, and abandoned Naples to overwhelming superiority only after destroying its harbor installations and everything of military value within the city itself.
Meanwhile, latest dispatches from Moscow did not indicate any sudden success for Hitler in his reported attempt to bolster morale by a personal visit to the Russian front.
One reliable report received in London said that Russian forces had reached the gates of Gomel, one of the key Dnieper river towns that Hitler ordered must be held at all costs. Kiev still was under Russian artillery fire, and with capture of Krichev, the Soviets won a spring board for a mighty attack on Mogilez and Zietbsk.
At Kremenchuk, the Russians were poised for a drive across the Dnieper which would seriously threaten the Nazi escape route from the Crimea and the Western Caucusus.
Activity in the Soothwestern Pacific centered around attempts by Australian jungle troops to overrun the Japanese supply base of Fanischhafen, on the island of New Guinea.
Heavy American bombers attacked enemy garrisons, airports, and depots throughout the New Guinea-Solomons area.
The shortage of teachers is reflected in the annual report of the Teachers Appointment bureau which recorded only 572 registrants last year—the smallest registration in 10 years.
Teacher Registration Lowest in 10 Years
Last year's registration was a decrease of 172 from the year before, or a loss of 23.5 per cent according to Secretary H. E. Chandler. Of the total number, 84 were enrolled for the first time, 59 were renewed registrations, and 429 were carried over from the previous year.
Because the manpower demands of the war and defense program apparently will be no less this year, it is probable that there will be fewer candidates.
The number of vacancies, totaling 1972 was an increase of 319 over last year, or a gain of 18.7 per cent. The demand was 48 per cent greater than 1940-41. Thus the effect of the draft and war work is shown on the decrease in applications and the increase in demand.
Pennsylvania has more colleges than any, other state.
"Unless more students can be induced to enter teaching as a patriotic duty, the outlook for schools is not bright." the report says.

At the same time the East was given an increase in its A coupon value to two gallons from what hitherto has been a gallon and a half. The amounts allotted to the Far West were undisturbed.
Drums: Virginia Lee Cassell, Den-
Many persons rushed to service stations to fill their tanks from the A coupons. The reduction in the other two coupons will hit war workers and farmers heaviest.
ISA To Sponsor Second Dance Tomorrow Night
The Independent Student Association will sponsor its second free dance of the new fall term for all University students in the Union Lounge, from 9 to 12 tomorrow night.

Features of the program at intermission will be a trio composed of Betty Gsell, Elizabeth Baker and Esther DeBord, and a medley of tunes played on the piano by Harold Phelps of the Navy V-12 program. By popular request after a previous summer performance, Ted Lehmann, an experienced stage player, will again present a humorous Shakespearean skit in the original character of Professor Oddley.
John Sells, ISA president, stated that the dance will give everyone a chance to get acquainted with more University students and that both men and women are invited to come stag.
Uniforms Identify Services
Bv MAXINE CRAWFORD
By MAXINE CRAWFORD With the ASTP, ASTRP, V-12, and the machinists' mates on the campus, military identification is confusing as well as impressive.
Freshmen and new students at the University are not the only ones who are having difficulties in distinguishing the various groups. Not many students have ever seen so many service men all together at one time. A means of identification is as follows:
The ASTP wear regular soldier uniforms, according to 1st Lt. Benjamin Clark, of the headquarters of military activities at the University. The ASTRP, commonly known as the A-12, wear similar uniforms with a few exceptions. Their caps have black braid; their coats have blue lapels. These are the regularly issued ROTC uniforms. In the winter, however, they will wear civilian overcoats as these are not issued by the ROTC.
The enlisted men in the permanent cadre may be distinguished by the collar ornaments and the green braid on their caps denoting detached enlisted men's lists.
According to Lt. T. O'Hara, the uniforms of the V-12's and the machinists' mates are not helpful in distinguishing between the groups. The machinists' mates never go out on liberty except in their dress blues. A red shoulder band, denoting a fireman, or a white shoulder band denoting the seaman branch, are on the dress blues of the machinists' mates. The V-12's do not have either red or white shoulder bands. The firemen, 1st and 2nd class, have two white marks on the cuff of their jumps, and the V-12's do not have these. 'The V-5', or naval aviation cadets, wear khaki shirts and trousers, black shoes, black ties, and

Jayhawks Meet Jinxed Team
Kickoff time is at 8:15 tonight between the Denver University Ploneers and the University of Kansas Jayhawks in their gridiron encounter being played in the Colorado capital.
Denver has had nothing but bad luck all week, losing three of their starting backfield to the armed services besides their second string center. Also the star of the team line plunging Fullback Johnny Adams, will not start the game because of the foot he injured in last week's game with Colorado Mines. Coach Duncan of the Pioneers, however, will inject Adams into the lineup at the first opportune moment.
Coach Henry Shenk of the Jayhawks is all set—his boys are all in good shape and rarin' to go. The Jayhawks would especially like to get revenge for the 0 to 17 licking they took at the hands of this same team last year.
The Jayhawks didn't scout Denver last week and Denver didn't scout Kansas so each team is nearly a complete mystery to the other. But it won't be for long!
560 Students Take Psychological Exams
The Psychological Examination was taken by 560 new students last Thursday and Friday. Three hundred and ninety-six of them were freshmen, 80 were sophomores, 67 were juniors, 5 were seniors, and 12 were unclassified.
The examination is used by the English and mathematics departments as a guide in placing students in classes.
Dr. A. H. Turney in the School of Education said that students may find out their scores in about a month by coming to his office, room 121, Fraser hall.
Three New Officers Stationed Here
Three officers, 2nd Lt. William C. Miller, AUS, 2nd Lt. J. P. Manning, AUS, and 2nd Lt. Leon H. Tykulsen, AUS, reported here Sept. 19 to the ASTP, according to Lt Benniam Clark, Infantry, Adiantur.
Lt. Miller received his commission Dec. 9, 1942, and since then has been on duty at Camp Crowder. Mo.
Having received his commission Sept. 8, Lt. Manning is here on his first duty assignment.
Lt. Tykulsker was graduated from Cornell University, receiving his bachelor of arts degree in 1940, and his master of arts degree in 1941 from the same school. He is here on his first duty assignment, since receiving his commission Sept. 8.
Registration For Proficiency To Start Monday
Registration for the first of five proficiency examinations to be held at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 9, can be made through the college office on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week, according to John B. Virtue, assistant professor of English.
The examination will include the writing of three short essays on subjects chosen from a list.

Other dates for examinations are: Nov. 29, Jan. 15, March 18, and May 13. Mr. Virtue urges students to arrange for the taking of these exams early, and especially seniors, as 24 hours must be completed after passing the examination.
Civilian enrollment in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the other schools at the University stands at 1,711. This figure includes 1,504 students who enrolled this week for the fall term and 207 who were enrolled in the semester starting for V-12 units and engineering students July 1.

Registration of civilian and medical students Monday and late registrations this week brought the current enrollment at the University to 4,092, according to a report from the registrar's office released by Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, today.
Congress Would Cui Draft Deferments
