Allen Sets Intramurals In Gear
The intramural program will now get under way at "full speed." Dr. F. C. Allen announced yesterday, with a meeting of all organized house anagers scheduled for today at 2 p.m. in the physical education office in Robinson gymnasium.
At this meeting, plans will be drawn out for intramural league competition, and games will be scheduled in both basketball and softball, which will probably start the first of next week. It is very urgent that all houses that are interested have their representatives present at this meeting, Dr. Allen said.
Organized Houses
It is expected that most of the organized houses will take part, including the Sig Alph's, the Beta's the Phi Gam's, Templin, Jolliffe, and Battenfeld halls, and the John Moore Co-op. The league formed from these and possibly other teams (any one wanting to form a team is free to do so) will function during the three and one-half weeks before July 1, giving everyone, including the naval reserves, the opportunity to take part in some intramural activities before they are called at that date, according to Dr. Allen.
After July 1, the intramural program will really get in high gear, said Dr. Allen, as the leagues will start all over again with a league made up of V-12 men and one made up of the civilian students. Allen to Coach Basketball
Allen to Coach Basketball
Dr. Allen will also call special sessions for those especially interested in basketball, pointing out the fundamentals and helping each man to improve his game.
In addition to softball and basketball, golf, tennis, swimming, ping pong, horseshoes, and handball will be offered to those interested. A track meet and a swimming meet will also be held later in the summer. Also, from the intramural basketball teams, an "all star" team will be formed to play the best of the V-12 league teams, and possibly other teams.
All in all, it looks like a big summer for intramural activities, and anyone interested can find everything he wants in the way of sports, predicted Dr. Allen.
Stockton Addresses Personnel Meeting
Frank T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, spoke Tuesday evening before a meeting of the Personnel Club, of Kansas City, on "Current Requirements in the Personnel Field."
The club is an outgrowth of the management war training classes in personnel which have been sponsored by the University in Kansas City. Meeting of the club are in the nature of round-table discussions of current problems in the personnel field.
NUMBER 4
Davis Will Speak At Youth Meeting
Dr. Robert McNair Davis, of the School of Law faculty, will speak on the subject, "Post War Treatment of Germany", at the union meeting of the church youth groups in Myers Hall, at seven o'clock, Sunday evening.
Miss Helen Pierson, of the School of Fine Arts, will play a violin solo, "Arioso," by Bach. The Congregational Youth group will conduct the worship service.
All young people of the University summer school or training group and of the Lawrence churches, are cordially invited to attend.
Lab Technicians Find Jobs Easily Now
"The drain on trained laboratory technicians is very great," Dr. Noble P. Sherwood, professor of baceriology, said in an interview yesterday. "The great need for trained technicians by the armed services," he continued, "has put a terrific strain on the municipal and private hospitals as many of their women technicians have joined the WAVES and the WAACS or have taken civil service jobs as technicians, while most of the men, obviously, have gone into the armed services.
"Nearly every day," Dr. Sherwood continued, "letters are coming in from army camps, hospitals, clinics, and laboratories urgently asking for help in finding laboratory technicians." Some of these letters have come from Fort Sill, Camp Phillips, and other military centers, offering civil service jobs that will pay $1620 to $1800 a year plus 21 per cent over regular pay for the eight hours work that may be put in over the 40 hour week.
Because of the war, women are

The V-1 and V-7 programs are "to be no more," he continued, "for they will all be combined in V-12." Students, therefore, will no longer be able to get in V-1, but may take the V-12 test which will be offered again some time in the fall, probably around November 1.
"Those men in the V-1 and the V-7 Naval Reserve programs and many in the V-12 program are receiving their orders every day now to report to the college or university where they are to be trained," Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, registrar, announced yesterday. "Those in V-12 who are not called by July 1, will probably be called around the first of November," Dr. Woodruff continued.
Calling Reserves From Day to Day
Only the naval reservists in engineering will be left here, where it is expected that around 500 engineers will be trained beginning July 1.
ASC Plans For Summer Government
Clarence Engle, College senior; was elected to serve as president of the All Student Council for the summer semester at the first meeting of the Council last week. Peggy Davis, elected president during the spring semester, is not enrolled in the University at present.
At a meeting Tuesday night, the newly-appointed members took the oath of office, a directory was authorized for the summer semester, two committees were named, and three bills were passed.
Thirteen students elected to the Council also are not in school now and their positions are being filled by appointment, according to Council officers. Janet Marvin has been elected permanent vice-president of the Council, and Jill Peck was appointed secretary for the summer semester.
Three Bills Passed
Bills concerning and prescribing legislative procedure, elections to the Council, and parking on the campus, were enacted. Thornton McClanahan, College senior, was appointed by the Council to recommend a staff and procedure for printing a summer semester directory of students.
Ten New Members
New members, and the organizations which they represent, include: WIGS—Katherine Bonewits and Betty Woodring; PWCL-Doris Lar-

A Poor Excuse Is Better ..
Assigned four stories on the "tip sheet," a Kansan reporter made four tries—and four failures. The excuses he furnished the editor in a brief note follow:
"Mr. Lane of the Natural History museum was either at home or on a vacation, so said the janitor. Didn't know who else to see.
"Curator of the Spooner-Thayer museum won't be there until 1:00 p.m., or later.
"Miss Smith of the John Watkins hospital is Miss Kiesow pronounced (key so). Please always send me to the hospital because they will probably expect it.
"Went to Marvin hall, but Mr. Bradshaw's office was locked. Too lazy to phone.
Fifteen Enrolled In Nurses' Aide Course
"Have to go home and get my geometry."
Fifteen women enrolled in the Nurses' Aide course which was begun Tuesday evening at Watkins hospital. Most of those enrolled were townswomen, according to Mrs. R. H. Beamer of the local Red Cross chapter, with one faculty member and one student enrolled.
Last night was the last chance to enroll in the class, said Mr. Beamer,
Former Students At Maxwell Field
Two former students of the University have reported to the Army Air Forces pre-flight school at Maxwell Field, Ala.
They are Robert Milton Rippetoe, Wichita, a student in 1940-41, and Aubrey E. Rothchild, Lawrence, who attended the University from 1934 through 1936. Rippetoe served six months as an enlisted man in the army medical corps before transferring to flight training and Rothchild had been enlisted three months before being accepted as an aviation cadet.
Sailors Like University; Girls Too Chilly
"How do you like Kansas, the University, and the students here at school?" was a question put to several sailors here yesterday. Well, believe it or not, they all seem to like it very much, with, of course, a few exceptions. Here are some of the opinions ventured by the boys on various subjects.
Louis Marra, seaman 2c, Michigan:
"It's a nice place. Some of the students are all right. But, say, where do the girls get the gas for their convertibles? I think we rate a 'hello' from them once in a while."
Charles W. Berry, fireman 3 c,
Minneapolis, Minn.: "We like the
campus very much. But it is easy
to get in trouble. I haven't had lib-
erty for 7 weeks.
"The girls are hard to get acquainted with. How do you manage to make introductions to the University girls?"
At this point another sailor remarked that the girls were about as cooperative as the 'stiffs' in Snow Hall.

Jakosky Quits Post As Dean Of Engineers
J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, submitted his resignation as dean to Chancellor Malott last Wednesday. The resignation is to become effective August 1. No announcement has been made as to his successor.
Jakosky, who holds large properties in California, and is connected with National Geophysics, Inc., of Los Angeles, will return to private business. The press of business occasioned by war extingencies prompted the dean's resignation, Chancellor Malott said.
Came In 1940
Dean Jakosky came to the University in July, 1940, from the presidency of the geophysics company, which he had found. He succeeded Ivan C. Crawford as dean.
In 1941, Dean Jakosky inaugurated a four-year training course at the University intended to give the School of Engineering one of the most complete airplane testing laboratories in the middle west. In the same year, Dean Jakosky headed a survey requested by the Office of Production Management to determine the feasibility of certain types of geophysical methods of location of lead and ore deposits in the Tri-State mining area.
Helped Graduates
Planned Shorter Program
In 1942, the School of Engineering adopted a two-year technological program for skilled craftsmen which had been planned by Jakosky to speed up training of essential war workers.
His work at the University has been characterized largely by the development of outlets for the graduates of the School of Engineering among large industrial and engineering firms throughout the nation and by his contacts with government officials in the University's relation to the war effort.
Dean Jakosky had been appointed laboratory director of the state plastics laboratory, for which the Kansas Industrial Development Commission has granted $25,000. The building has not been established because of priority and labor difficulties.
Jakosky is the holder of more than 100 patents, domestic and foreign He is rated in "Engineering Who's Who" as one of the country's leading engineers, particularly in the field of geophysics.
Of Dean Jakosky's resignation,
Chancelor Malott said.
Malott Regretful
"We are sorry indeed to lose the services of Dean Jakosky, particularly in these difficult times. The entire University wishes him well as he returns to his private business connections."
Women drivers are impossible, according to men. It's a little disturbing to accuse a woman and then find it's a man.
