These rainy nights bring forth strange sights to some of the Corbin girls. Last night, Claudine Scott and Elmer Omohundro with a few other girls were driving along in front of the Cottage about 10:30; when two ASTP boys, hats on their head, their clothes under their arms, and clad only in shorts dashed madly down the street toward Lindley hall.
After this sight, Claudine remarks,
"Maybe that's why mothers won't send their daughters to school here."
Another incident due to the rainy night. Marillys Scott of Corbin and her date started home in the rain, but managing to pick up a taxi, they continued their journey from there. Marillys had taken off her shoes to save the leather. When they entered the cab, another couple were also sharing the car with them.
After a few minutes, the other boy looked up suddenly. "Is there a dog in here?" he asked.
After a brief search, the answer was negative.
Scott should be more careful where her toes land.
"Hm-m, I thought I felt one licking my leg," he puzzled.
Well, summer school is just about over and with it goes many interesting and enjoyable experiences. Elaine Howard and Dick Hoover are still managing to get together when the Navy relaxes its discipline; Clark Henry thinks the Navy is great and the Medic school even better; Bill Lee of Washington State seems to be fitting in quite well with the Sigma Nu's of Kansas; Phil Butler remains just as aloof from Kansas girls as ever.
Ruth Krehbiel is still the friendliest girl in school; Rossyln McCampbell manages to keep Corbin
Fire School To Be Held Sept. 20 to 22
Elimination of fire hazards and the protection of life and property will be the outstanding topics of the Kansas Fire School this year, to be held in Wichita from Sept. 20 to 22. The school is conducted by the Kansas State Firemen's association in cooperation with the Kansas State Board for Vocational Education and the University's extension division.
"The fire school program," said H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division, "will give valuable instruction to administrative officers, drill masters, and fireman members of all fire fighting units. The man shortage situation has caused many fire departments to be understaffed, so it is more important than ever that special attention be given to preventive measures and extensive training."
Some of the principal lecturers and instructors for the fire school will be: Lt. Col. H. R. Brayton, of the Chemical Warfare Service; Emmett T. Cox, senior fire protection officer at the Indiana Fire Service Training Schools; Lindon J. Murphy, regional adviser on fire defense of the Seventh Civilian Defense area; and R. J. Douglas, fire protection officer at Oklahoma A. and M. college.
The fire school will meet concurrently with the annual convention
laughing; Phyllis Wickert and Bill Benefiel's engagement is stronger than ever; Dale Robinson is still giving Frances Abts pointers on how to run the Kansan this fall; Glenn Pettis, ASTP, gets around more and more; Toto Lulli still shows a preference for beautiful women, (some men are too particular); John Rutledge remains as independent as before.
Don Cousins claims he wants to get married, (that's new, anyway); Jack Jarvis is seen around Corbin hall frequently; wonder where Irvin Mintz disappeared to; Johnny Stanberry and George Samit continue to be the ASTP's nicest boys; Footsie Marcus continues to be the funniest; we miss John Conard at the Cottage; Ann Sipes of Corbin still manages to get the best looking men; Virginia Guill gets more than her share, too; Dr. Ashton can always make Shakespeare come up to date; and with a million other thoughts, so the summer ends. Hooray!
High speed machines and precision mechanisms were discussed in a lecture and demonstration on "Dimensional Crontrol," given by Lou Linger, from the Sheffield Corporation of Dayton, Ohio, assisted by Glade Ives, district representative for the Kansas City area of the Sheffield Co., Thursday afternoon in Fraser hall.
Dimensional Control Explained by Lingler
Ray Evans, former football and basketball star at the University, was a visitor in Lawrence last week-end. He is a physical training instructor in the Army Air Corps at Scott Field, Ill.
Paul G. Hausman, supervisor of the department of shop practice, School of Engineering and Architecture, arranged for the lecture, for the benefit of the Navy machinist mates trainees and invited various departments of the School, and the women of the civilian signal trainee corps.
Mr. Lingler explained in his lecture ring, plug, thread, and snap gauges of various types, and the latest plastic and white glass precision instruments.
The reed mechanism, used for measuring to within one millionth of an inch, has made possible the high speed of machines and guns of today. In the old type machines and guns measurements depended on the skill of the individual doing the measuring; with this new type machine the human element is taken out of actual measurement.

The electrical gauge measures the parts of machines and operates lights. The lights indicate to the inspector if the part being measured is under or oversize. The inspector need not be trained in precision measurement to operate the gauge. By using electric horns, in place of the lights, the blind are able to inspect measurements of machine parts.
Mr. Lingler demonstrated the bauging of a rifle barrel by usink the barrel from a machine gun. Barrels from five-inches to one-eighth of an inch can be measured accurately and quickly with the air gauge.
Earl Weston and H. Rea, who are in charge of the tool and die department at the Lake City Ammunition plant at Blue Springs, Mo., attended the lecture.

V-12's Are Playing Basketball Now
Intramural sports competition began again yesterday when the V-12 members held their first basketball games in Hoch auditorium and Robinson gymnasium from 4:45 until 6 o'clock. The games will continue Monday through Friday for the next two weeks. The Machinist Mates started practicing last night and will continue on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7 to 9 o'clock.
"We are going to have an intramural program about four times as large as we ever had," stated Dr. F. C. Allen, head of the physical education department. "With the army, navy, Machinist Mates, V-12's and civilians competing, it will be difficult to arrange a schedule for all groups wishing to participate as the buildings are frequently used for giving examinations.
"Wherever the schedules conflict, the service men will be given preference over the civilians because of the limited recreational periods of the men in uniform," he explained.
The army and navy officials are anxious to have their men participate in sports, according to Dr. Allen. They especially approve of basketball as it not only helps to keep the body physically fit, but trains the men to be more alert and agile.
"We are planning to have a program of touchball, handball, speedball, hardball, tennis, softball, volleyball, horseshoe, golf, and basketball," said Dr. Allen. "Every man playing his favorite game' is our motto."
