SUMMER SESSION KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Sport Chatter
By Bob Bock
If only the army would just let down the barriers so army trainees will participate in football as the navy boys in the colleges are, football could indeed go through a healthy season this fall, but the way it is now, many colleges without navy programs are being forced to give up the pigskin game for lack of players.
This is what Sammy Weiss, congressman from Pennsylvania, professional grid referee and former Duquesne star, has to say about the matter:
"At this late date, there is only one thing that can save intercollegiate football and that is for the army to give its trainees the go-ahead sign. West Point officials have declared their enthusiasm for continuing the sport, and the cadets will play a schedule this autumn. What I can't understand is how West Point and Annapolis and navy preflight and navy trainees can play,vet the army trainees can't."
The army has 130,000 young men in the colleges undergoing special training as engineers, medical officers, and in other technical pursuits. However, army officials said last week that the schedule set for these soldiers simply does not allow enough time for football, much as they'd like to arrange it.
This is what Freddy Mendell, sports editor of the Hutchinson News-Herald has to say, "From what we have been able to learn, Henry Shenk is going to introduce the V-12 football system at K.U. this fall. Like the T program, it involves mystery and trickery. In the T program, the opposing coach and players always worried about the disappearing half-back. In the V-12 program, this becomes the home coach's worry. All the V-12 boys are in specialized military programs and subject to sudden falls for transfers or service."
Dean Nesmith, who has recently undergone a tonsillectomy, will be here next week to take over his duties as trainer, all ready to take care of footballers if and when they need help; care of.
Ray Kanehl, who has purchased a ome at 824 Arkansas, will take up its duties as a physical education instructor this week. Kanehl, who was formerly director of athletics at Kanehl East High School, had very successful track teams there, this year's in particular, as his Blue Aces per scoring over 100 points in theutchinson regional, took top honors in the state track and field meet which was held in Wichita.
Royal Lohry, 1942 Iowa State foot ill captain and all-Big Six fullback, d Bob Stueber, Missouri's All-american halfback, have been inked to participate in the 1943 College all-star football game with the chasington Redskins August 27 in milder Field, Chicago.

Grid Suits Out, First Practice Monday P.M.
Henry Shenk, head football mentor, announced yesterday that football suits will be checked out beginning at 2:30 on Monday afternoon with the first summer football practice in K.U. history scheduled Monday from 4:30 until 6:00. All boys interested in coming out should report at the dressing room on the east side of the stadium where Dean Nesmith, who is back again as trainer, will fit the boys out in uniforms.
All men who are interested and want to play football, whether they have had previous experience or not, are requested by Coach Shenk to come out for summer practice. This will include Navy trainees (V-12 students) and Naval cadets, as well as the civilian students.
Practices will be from 4:30 until 6:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays as that is the only time that Navy trainees would be able to get off, and probably is about the best time of day for workouts anway.
Never before has any coach scheduled a first football workout with as little knowledge of what he will have to work with, but Coach Shenk says that he is anything but dubious.

iced in the middle of the afternoon.
Mr. Eberhardt said they were using no more ice this summer than they used during the winter. The way it works out, according to Mr. Eberhart, is, "When the 50 pounds of ice are gone, the water gets warm—winter* or summer." All of which means that occasionally, after a dry lecture, ye students will celebrate with a warm drink.
If you happen to be one of the inquisitive kind and are tempted to lift the cover on one of the ice-cooled fountains, don't draw any rash conclusions. The plumber foreman has been somewhat disturbed by hearing students exclaim, after a flash glance under the cover, "Yipe! take a gander at that dirty ice that's cooling this water."
To stress this sanitation angle a little further, it is well to note that all fountains on the campus are equipped with sanitary heads. These heads with a two-stream mound projector keep the water from falling back over the head.
As Mr. Eberhart explained it, the ice cools the copper covered coils through which the water flows and not the water directly. In case any freshmen are interested, there are some fine pictures at the repair shops which explain the whole process.

College Hostesses At Union Night
Union Night will be held at the Union building Saturday, July 10, from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. University activity tickets will admit anyone, or the admission will be 25 cents stag or drag. There will be dancing, ping pong, and cokes.
At 10:30 the Miller twins, Jean and Jane, are going to tap dance, and Jean is going to sing.
Joanne Johnson, member of the Union Operating Committee, says that they want all of the University women to come, with or without dates, and act as hostesses to the Army and Navy men at this dance. The girls from Corbin, Watkins, and Miller halls are going in a body, and Miss Johnson asks that all these girls come early.

concerned. An average of 150 gallons of water is being used every minute here on the Hill.
All water used on the campus is registered through the flow-meter at the power plant (located in back of the hospital). One dial on the flow-meter shows the amount of water being used each minute. At 11:44 Wednesday morning the dial hand was at 155 gallons.
This summer the 10 minutes between 20 and 30 minutes after the hour show a definite jump on the chart. That's right, brother, 35 drinking fountains on the job for K.U.'s thirsty summer scholars.
Another part of the flow-meter registers, on a chart, a minute-by-minute account of the water usage for an entire day. The chart for Wednesday showed the high point to be 250 gallons at 9:30 a.m., and the low point, 20 gallons at 1:30 am.
Miller Says Jobs Open For Women
Miss Marie Miller, assistant advisor of women, has stated that she has had calls for stenographers who can take shorthand dictation. She said there were many openings for college women with this kind of experience. She also has many calls for women who wish to earn part of their living expenses by doing part-time work in private homes. Food service and household work are paying 35 cents an hour. Those who want to take care of children are being paid a minimum of 25 cents an hour, according to Miss Miller.
If there are any women who wish to secure employment and who have not registered at the Women's Employment office in Fraser, Miss Miller urges them to register immediately. Any woman who wishes to apply for work should bring her class schedule with her.
Offices Redecorated
The suite of two rooms in which are located the offices of adviser of women and her assistant, is being re-decorated this summer. The inner office, room 102 and Miss Meguiar's office, has been completed and the outer room, Miss Miller's office, is in the process of being replastered.
Graduate An Ensign
Corpus. Christi, Tex—John W. Martin, son of Mrs. Ruth W. Martin, 1600 Rhode Island St., Lawrence, Kans., graduated last week from the naval air training center, Corpus Christi, and was commissioned an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve.
He is a former student of the University of Kansas, and is a member of Delta Chi fraternity.
In 1913 board cost University students $3 a week and room rent was $4 a month. Now we know what they mean by the expression, "The good old days."
The first publication at the University was "The Observer of Nature," published in 1874 by the students of natural history.
