Col. Washington Doubts Rotsies Sent Back Here
It is not likely that any of the advanced R.O.T.C.'s, that were ordered from Kansas University the last of May will be returned while they wait for vacancies in officer candidate school, according to a statement of Col. William C. Washington, professor of military science and tactics.
The Kansas University R.O.T.C. students were sent to Camp Roberts in California and to Camp Wallace in Texas. Col. Washington believes the students will likely be enrolled in colleges near these camps.
The latest regulations received by Col. Washington from the war department on the disposition of R.O.T.C. students say that first year advanced R.O.T.C. students now undergoing basic military training at replacement training centers, upon completion of this training, will be returned to college under the supervision of the army specialized training division, pending the availability of vacancies in officers candidate schools.
During this period, which may be long enough to provide two or more quarters, they will be given academic instruction designed to make them better officers in their branch of service. Military instruction will continue during this college period.
Second year advanced R.O.T.C. who have graduated are now being placed in officer candidate schools as rapidly as vacancies become available.
Second year R.O.T.C. students, who have not graduated or who

"Mug" 500 V-12 Men Yesterday
More than 500 members of the V-12 naval reserve, both engineers and medical students, were photographed yesterday morning at the "ship" in Frank Strong hall. Lieut. C. A. Mickelman, V-12 commanding officer, stated that all men had gone through the line by 11:30, an average of 175 an hour.
Starting at 8:15 a.m., and going through alphabetically, some men whose last initial is far down the alphabet missed most of their morning classes. Men whose last name begins with the letter "A" were able to attend all of their classes, Lieutenant Mickelman stated.
The photographs taken yesterday will be used on the men's identification cards, which they will be required to carry on their persons at all times.
Liberty night for V-12 men will be on Thursday night this week, according to the Lieutenant. On that night the men may remain away from quarters until 11 o'clock if they so desire.
High School Seniors To Be Discussed
Prof. A. H. Turney, director of the University psychological test bureau, will present and discuss the data on high school seniors at K.U., who they are and how they are doing, in a fourth of a series of educational forums to be held in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building at 7 o'clock tonight.
High school students of senior status, who were in the upper 10 percent of their class and recommended by their principal to take the examinations for V-12 and A-12 University work, are the ones to be discussed, said Dean J. W. Twente of the School of Education, arranger of the forums
All students of the University are invited to attend these forums, Dean Twente stated.
After the opening data of whom they are and how they are doing has been presented by Professor Turney, the discussion will be taken up by the audience. "Are they better off in high school or in the University" and "What do high school principals think" will be some of the leading questions to be answered, said Dean Twente.

Nov. 30—Missouri at Lawrence.
Tired? Rest See Campus From Bench
Do you ever get tired of sitting on a hard chair in a class room staring at drab, uninteresting blackboards and walls? The English literature class must have felt that way when it decided to meet at the Pi Phi bench back of Blake hall. From this large, stone, semi-circular seat you can see the Wakaura Valley for miles. It's certainly more inspiring than the glimpses you get from a class room window.
West of Green Hall and looking over the grove is a large bench with an inscription running around the sides and back of it to the effect that it was presented by the class of 1914 to the University of Kansas.
On the back of the bench two dates are inscribed—1873 and 1923. Our alma mater in love and gratitude Between them this is printed, "To on the fiftieth anniversary of Kansas Alpha of Pi Beta Phi." There are other older benches on the Hill if you want a different view.
On the other side of Green Hall is a small plain stone bench that is almost hidden in a clump of redbud trees.
"Winds of heaven brave it
Sons of men save it Save our redbud tree.
Rains of heaven lave it Sons of men save it
Rains of heaven lave it
Save our redudd tree,
is the inscription on this one. In
three corners of the bench are
the names of Rose Morgan, Edith Clarke,
and Kate Stephens. In the fourth
corner is the date of their donation—
April, 1916.
Perhaps the most well known benches are those in front of the li-

Craig Outlines 3 Approaches To Education
Industry, breadth, and the imaginative point of view were stated as the three essential avenues of approach to higher education by Hardin Craig, professor of English at the University of North Carolina, who spoke at convocation in Fraser theater yesterday morning.
Speaking in the interest of the individual student and the individual college teacher, Mr. Craig discussed the three avenues of approach with great enthusiasm relating each to the present situations. Mr. Craig's interest in the world of humanities was reflected through-out his speech as well as in his manner of speaking.
"The civil war which rages in some places among the sciences, both pure and applied, the social sciences, and the humanities arises out of inadequate knowledge and comprehensions of the field of learning and man's relation to it," said Mr. Craig in presenting breadth as one of the approaches to higher education.
"A proper modern education comprehends all three fields. One may say that every educated man neglects one of these fields at his own peril in relation to human life," the speaker said.
After discussing each of the three aspects of learning separately, Mr. Craig illustrated their direct rela-

Choir Featured In Vespers
The final All-Musical Vespers of the Summer Session, scheduled for next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock in Hoch auditorium, will feature the Summer Session a cappella choir of 75 voices under the direction of D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
The choir will sing some attractive folk songs, some numbers from the Russian liturgical choral literature, and as at the last vespers, a Negro spiritual, said Dean Swarthout.
The Summer Session string trio, composed of Ruth Orcutt, pianist, Waldemar Geltch, violinist, and Dean Swarthout, cellist, will play a movement from a "Trio in C Minor" by Gretchaninoff, while the quintet, consisting of Jan Chiapusso, pianist, Mr. Geltch, first violin, Frances Robinson, second violin, Barbara Huls, viola, and Mr. Swarthout, cello, will play the opening movement of the Dvorak "Quintet in A Major."
The duet "Quis est homo" from Rossini's "Stabat Mater" will be sung by Meribah Moore and Irene Peabody, both members of the voice faculty.
To open the vespers Laurel Everet Anderson will play "Vermeland," by Howard Hanson, on the organ. The vespers will offer one of the finest programs of the summer stated Dean Swarthout, and will last slightly longer than an hour.
