By BETTY LOU PERKINS
Not since the Christmas riot last year has the campus seen so much excitement as that caused by the item on the A.S.T.P. den of wolves in the library. Every army man on the Hill was complaining bitterly about it. The editor of the Kansan has received about 15 letters stating the other side of the question. I wonder, is the reason the A.S.T.P. objects so stronely because they all have guilty consciences?
By the way, the girls really do prefer the fatigue uniforms of the army to the khaki.
The Union fountain's business has picked up quite noticeably since the blonde cashier, Joanne, made an appearance. Probably more checks are being paid.
The evacuation of Corbin hall occurred Sunday. Nearly 20 girls from Corbin are now in Wattkins hospital. Several others were either sick at Corbin or went home. So this time the boys can believe the girls really were sick when they broke their dates.
Bill Haynes, Delt, and Bob Bellamy, Phi Psi, write that they're doing their best to make Purdue K.U. conscious. The men seem to be doing well by their Alma Mater. The Oberlin boys claim they have convinced 10 men that K.U. is the only place for them after the war. Fred Elsworth ought to be proud of them.
Jack Hines, D.U., will soon, we hope, have a band ready to play for some of our dances. All he needs news is Don Cousins. But what band doesn't?
Since the third time is charm. I believe Johnny Standberry spells his name Johnny Stanberry. Satisfied, Johnny?
MISS HOOPES
“Appointment, nothing,” Miss Hoopes replied, “we'll have that interview right now while I'm still good and mad.”
"Cut classes?" the interviewee asks with eyebrows raised. "Well, I guess not! When I went to school it was a matter of getting through so I could make a living. I didn't sleep through classes either. Why? Because I was interested in what was going on, and I stayed awake to listen—to the prof."
She led the reporter into a classroom and asked, in so many words, "what's on your so-called mind." The answer was, of course, "darn little" considering that the unfortunate reporter was bargaining only for an appointment and not the interview. Summoning together what presence of mind she could, the reporter carried on.
"When I took a quiz, I was always the first one through," she said. "I'd throw my quiz book on the desk, glare at the teacher, and stomp out madder than—I was mad! When I got the quiz back, I found I hadn't done so bad after all."
And the reporter wondered about that yarn Miss Hoopes tells about the lab course she took and in which she didn't do so well. The
Alumnus Given Silver Star
Major General Ennis C. Whitehead, deputy commander of the Fifth United States Army Air Force in the Southwest Pacific area, was decorated last week with the Silver Star for personal gallantry in action. General Whitehead is an alumnus of the University of Kansas.
The general, who also wears the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Distinguished Service Cross, left the University in 1917 to enter the first World War. He completed his college training after the war and reentered the air corps in 1920. He was promoted to the rank of brigadier general last year when he was in command of Luke Field, Arizona, and became a major general last March 25 for the part he played in the battle of the Bismarck Sea.
Lieut. Gen. George C. Kenney, commander of the Allied Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific, made the award to General Whitehead for the latter's role in the bombing of the Japanese at Mubo, New Guinea, July 6.
whole difficulty seemed to be that Miss Hoopes, all fair play, was trying to draw what she couldn't see under the microscope while the other kids copied the pictures out of the book.
Anyway the bottom had sort of fallen out of the interview. The reporter's whole idea was to console some of the weary students on the Hill by giving them a concrete example of a successful, well-informed faculty member who had been through all the woes of cutting classes and messing up quizzes and came out on top in spite of it all.
"I am definitely interested in the Armed Forces on this campus," she said. "That is in connection with the lawns."
Fellows, Miss Hoopes is staging a one-man campaign to keep you on the sidewalks. After the last war she developed a right sharp discipline technique—army style, while teachin second lieutenants and top sercents. And boys, she hasn't lost that technique. Ask the ASTP's who have the opportunity to find out.
"This hot weather is pretty hard on the students," Miss Hoopes admitted. "They're beginning to look pretty tired."

Officers of the group state that the public is cordially invited.
"Probably the most inconvenient thing about the similarity in names is that we both often get telephone calls in the middle of the night," said Dr. F. C. Allen.
C. M. Baker, director of libraries, and Clarence M. Baker, bindery foreman of the University press, have had their troubles too. Even as a student at the University in '35, Clarence M. Baker received mail that should have been sent to the library.
CONFUSING---concerned, the A.T.T.'s have all the opportunities other students have if they care to take advantage of them." Professor Stillwell commented.
"Once Mr. C. M. Baker got a mail order that belonged to me, but the trouble is he never does get my bills," said Clarence M. Baker. "And one time when I was a student here, I tried to cash a check at one of the stores downtown. Of course it was all right until the manager saw me, and I had plenty of trouble establishing my identity to prove that it wasn't an attempt at forgery."
Jean Robertson, assistant secretary of the Alumni Association, and Jean C. Robertson, assistant instructor of romance languages, have plenty of trouble too. They even live on the same street, quite to the bewilderment of anyone who wishes to find one or the other.

Wonder what stalled the army talent? We know they can sing. Maybe they felt they weren't ready to introduce their new "aria" composed for their theme song.

That course was on the 16-week basis with more than one prescribed course of study. Now, all 165 women take the same fundamental course which includes eight hours of work six days of the week."
The division of work is as follows: aircraft drafting (four hours); applied mathematics and mechanics (two hours); aircraft materials and processes (one hours); and aircraft nomenclature (one hour).
"All the employees are paid for going to school. The pay is based on a 40-hour week which gives the women eight hours over-time with school on Saturday. Both companies pay about $97.50 a month," he said.
Professor Stillwell said classes are held in three buildings: Marvin hall, Snow Hall, and the "mud hut." Study begins every day at 7:30 a.m. and lasts until 4:30 p.m. with one hour out for lunch. Outside work done on the course usually requires an additional two hours every night. Grades are reported to the companies each week.

WEEK'S ENGAGEMENT
A. T.T.'s are under the same rules of closing hours as any other woman student, according to Miss Marie Miller, assistant to the adviser of women. Miss Miller is in charge of housing the women who stay at Corbin, Hopkins hall, and other approved rooms in Lawrence.
Mr. Karl Klooz, bursar, said they could buy activity tickets if they wished, although so far, none of them have done so.
"These training courses will be continued as long as the need for them lasts and since there is still quite a shortage of help, this means several more courses will be given," Professor Stillwell said. "Those who went to work on stress analysis after the first course was completed are reported to be doing exceedingly well. They are even taking advanced courses in mathematics during their spare time in order to become more highly skilled."
Professor Stillwell, who came to K.U. from Minnesota a year ago, has charge of all aeronautical programs on the campus which includes 120 V-12 engineers, almost as many naval air cadets, the civilian aeronautical engineers, and all the A.T.T. women. He has always been interested in aviation, first as a hobby, then as a vocation.
TRUCKER----
(continued from page one) and two soldiers who saw the accident took the injured boy to the University hospital for first aid treatment.
Robert Burchett, the driver of the truck, was not aware there had been an accident until stopped by bystanders. He appeared in police court yesterday morning and was charged with careless driving. The case will come up August 30 at which time, Lawrence Green, owner of the truck, and Eugene Roper, who was riding in the truck with Burchett at the time of the accident, will be present. Mr. Roper is in Leavenworth today by the call of the draft.
The truck had been hauling coal for the Pete Reedy Lumber company.
