Southernaires Will Sing Here
The Southernaires, male quartet, have been engaged for a concert to be presented in Hoch auditorium sometime in July, the Fine Arts office has announced. The group has achieved popularity through Sunday evening broadcasts over NBC.
The exact date of the concert will be revealed in the near future by Dean Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts. Dean Swarthout stated that in order to give more persons the opportunity to hear-the quartet, prices for the concert are being set as low as possible.
No reserved seats will be sold, but all places on the main floor will be available at $1, in the first balcony at 75 cents, and in the second balcony at 50 cents. University students who have activity tickets will be admitted by that.

Professors Hold Clinic in Salina
A post-graduate medical clinic for practicing physicians on tropical diseases will be held in Salina this weekend under the auspices of the University extension division. Cooperating in the clinic are the School of Medicine, the State Board of Health, and the Kansas Medical Society.
Lecturers for the clinic will be Dr. H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology, Miss Mary E. Larson, assistant professor of zoology, and Dr. H. L. Douglas, assistant professor of medicine and instructor in tropical medicine in the School of Medicine at Kansas City.
The clinic will open Saturday evening, June 12, with a dinner meeting. At 7:30 p.m. Miss Larson will discuss laboratory diagnosis of malaria, Dr. Hungerford will speak on epidemiology in the prevention of the disease, and Dr. Douglas will lecture on clinical aspects and therapy. Diseases of the dysentery group and other tropical diseases will be discussed at morning and afternoon sessions on Sunday.
Two clinics have already been held, in Emporia and Wichita, and it is probable that two more will be held in Parsons and Kansas City, according to officials in the extension division.
V-12 Officer Sets Up Temporary Office
Lieut. C. A. Mickelman, commanding officer for the Naval V-12 program, which will start here on July 1, 1943, arrived in Lawrence last week, and has set up temporary headquarters on the second floor of Frank Strong hall. He will be assigned permanent headquarters in the near future.
Lieut. Mickelman has degrees from the University of Illinois and Northwestern University where he specialized in personnel work. He has also had experience as instructor and administrator both in the secondary school and university fields.
The program which calls for the training of naval engineers will have an enrollment of approximately 500 students. The students will be housed in various fraternity houses. V-12 students will have the same privileges of regular university students, as they may take part in athletic and other university activities which do not conflict with their studies.
Corp. George Kekich, who was taken into military service while he was a graduate student in journalism, visited the campus Friday. He is travelling constantly on intelligence missions, but is stationed at Washington, D.C.
The Graduate School office reports the additions to their furnishings of a brown Dobbs hat, size seven and one-eighth. The owner may have for calling for it, says the office secretary.

Soldiers Study At University Through Mail
Enrollment is increasing in virtually all departments of the correspondence study bureau, stated Miss Ruth Kenney, secretary of the bureau, yesterday. Members of the armed forces are enrolling steadily in courses sponsored jointly by the University and the United States Armed Forces Institute, a government organization to promote education among service men, Miss Kenney said.
A large increase has come in high school courses from students wishing to secure diplomas or high school credit before going into service or war work. "Refresher" courses in mathematics and physics are also being offered to high school teachers. Each teacher who completes a course will receive a certificate from the state Board of Education which will entitle him or her to teach the subject in a high school. The certificates are good only for the duration of the war, and they were instituted to aid in meeting the shortage of instructors in mathematics and physics.
Portuguese language courses are the most popular among service men enrolled with the bureau, Miss Kenney revealed. Accounting courses follow in popularity, and entomology courses are receiving heavy enrollments also. Many students taking entomology are with medical detachments in Australia, according to Miss Kenney.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Dean J. J. Jakosky of the School of Engineering and Architecture, Prof. Thomas T. Castonguay, and J. C. Fryce of the Geological Survey are attending the Midwest Research conference being held in Kansas City this week.
John Conard, Coolidge, is managing the Syracuse Journal this summer while he awaits his call to the navy. Conard was picked by Sigma Delta Chi, men's journalism professional fraternity, as the "outstanding man in journalism" last year. He was editor of the Jayhawker and was honored by election to Phi Beta Kappa.
Conard Edits Paper
A majority of the courses provided through the bureau and the Forces Institute are for college or high school credit, although a few are offered solely for vocational training and do not provide credit. The federal government pays half the cost of fees, texts, and materials required for each service enrollle.
At the invitation of J. C. Nichols of Kansas City about 40 persons are program for mid-west educators to working toward a unified research program for Midwest educators to further the development of raw materials in this section of the country. The representatives, from Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Iowa, are staying at the Hotel Phillips.

One hundred sixty-seven young women from nine mid-western states have signed work contracts with the Boeing Aircraft Company of Wichita or with North American Aviation, Ine., and began their training on the campus today, Guy V. Keeler, regional director for the engineering science management war training program, announced this morning.
These young women will be on the campus for a 12-week training course under the auspices of the School of Engineering and Architecture. They are on the payrolls of the aircraft companies and will receive $100 a month while in training. After completion of the course, they will go to the factories. Prof. Henry Sheldon Stillwell, of the department of aeronautical engineering at the University is directing the program
167 Women In Training Program
During their stay at the University, the girls will be housed in Hopkins Hall, the Alpha Omicron Pi house, and the old Pi Kappa Alpha house at 1201 Louisiana. They will be regularly enrolled students, are subject to the same rules as other women students, and are eligible to the same advantages.
Most of the women enrolled in the present section were recently graduated from high school, according to Professor Stillwell, acting chairman of the department of aeronautical engineering. Several of them have been previously employed by (continued on page four)

Morgan Display In Spooner
A large collection of dry-point etchings, lithographie sketches, aquatints, and drawings of Charles Morgan, professor in the School of Engineering and Architecture, is now on display on the top floor of Sooner-Thayer museum.
These drawings are done both in black and white and in colors, and, for the most part, depict scenes in England, France, Spain, and the United States. One sketch was made of the campus. Mr. Morgan's drawings are noted especially for the speed with which they are made. A large majority of them took less than 30 minutes.
Of his kind of work,Mr. Morgan says that sketching was once an art widely practiced by architects.
Some of these etchings and drawings are on sale. Among this group are 20 in color and 10 in black and white.
"A few of the older people can recall Saturday afternoons long ago when one went under the guidance of a 'patron' somewhere to make sketches of animals and wild life. Now the practice has gone almost entirely.
"Sketching is sketching and photography is photography. The camera shows only the object as it appears to the human eye, but with the brush you can put feeling and emotion into your work," emphasized Mr. Morgan.
