Latta Surveying Water Resources
Bruce F. Latta of the State and Federal Geological Surveys' cooperative ground-water staff has gone to Abilene to start a detailed study of the ground-water resources of the Smoky Hill valley between Lindsborg and Junction City. The draw on the ground-water supplies of this part of the valley has increased by several times during the past two years owing to the many military establishments and increased city populations in the area.
The geological surveys have previously furnished aid in the case of the supplies in the vicinity of Fort Riley and Salina. The present investigation is to secure basic information that will serve as a guide to future expansion of ground-water supplies, the possibilities of securing water of better quality, and to furnish advance warning in case of imminent overdevelopment and depletion of existing supplies.
(continued from page one) young women are subject to employment regulations similar to those governing employees working in the plants of aircraft manufacturers, including the federal employment laws which freeze employees in essential war industries to their jobs unless they can produce satisfactory evidence that a transfer to some other company would be beneficial to the war effort.
The course of training under the technicians program includes training in aircraft drafting; aircraft nomenclature; aircraft materials and processes; and mathematics and mechanics. While no actual instruction is given in the "monkey wrench" courses in aviation, the young women are trained in an atmosphere saturated with aeronautical background. The University possesses one of the most modern aircraft engineering laboratories in the middle west, including wind tunnels, engine test cells, structural laboratories, and design laboratories.
Stillwell Originated Training Program
The women's aircraft training program at the University of Kansas is the design of Prof. Henry Sheldon Stillwell, professor of aeronautical engineering. No academic theorist, Stillwell was brought to the University from Vought-Sikorsky Aircraft at Stratford, Conn., where he was serving as an engineer. Much of his practical training there, after a college career in the engineering department of the University of Minnesota, came under the supervision of Igor Sikorsky, noted Russian aircraft designer and aviation authority. So when Stillwell approached Beech, Boeing, and North American with his proposed training program, he was fortified with plenty of actual experience in the field of aviation.
Newest addition to the School of Engineering and Architecture at the University of Kansas, the aermautical engineering department has always been directed by practical aeronautical engineers. Stillwell's predecessor, E. E. Brush, now with Fleetwing's, Inc., was brought to the department from Lockheed, where he was serving as an engineer.
Column
(Ed. note: We still can't get a name for this column. Any suggestions will be appreciated.)
Bill Koehler, newcomer, makes the startling observation that, after giving the campus the critical onceover, "There are sure a lot of sailors up here . . . ." This guy said he'd give us 50 cents to get his name in the paper. Harry Johnson . . . During these days the girls never know whether to wear raincoats, scarfs, and carry umbrellas or whether to wear light blouses and skirts. Either way, someone always comes out wrong.
Bill Bunt, after buying provisions for a picnic last week, announced that, "It is almost as expensive to eat now as it is to drink." . . Alouise Brown of Wichita was up for the weekend. . . Ray Helgeson, Phi Gam, has been announcing over Station WREN lately. When Prof. Calderwood found Ray was in his Radio Speaking class, he said puzzledly, "I don't know what he expects me to teach him. I think I'll take a vacation and let him take over." . . I may be uninformed but to me the Army Medics, the ROTC, and the Navy Air Corps all look the same. Couldn't they make some form of differentiation? . . . and, say, it is true the medics only get out on Saturday nights?
A student remarked that K.U. certainly helped one to overcome their inhibitions. "Instead," she went on, "it increases your inbibitions!"
Where did everyone find these two-seated bicycles? Especially the sailors. . . . The mosquitoes are reported to be quite thick around Corbin hall. The girls are advertising for a guaranteed anti-bite lotion. . . For the very latest in slang, such as, "Got a meter in your mouse?" see Ruth Krehbiel. Maybe she can tell you what it means.
Two University of Texas historians recently were decorated with medals of membership in the exclusive Mexican Academy of science.
A year ago Anthony H. Griswold taught Greek and Bible at the University of the South, Swenee. He resigned to enter the navy as a ship's cook. In the meanwhile, he was ordained into the Episcopal ministry and was recently commissioned as a chaplain in the navy with rank of lieutenant.

Composer Visited On Campus Sunday
Roy Harris, distinguished American composer, and his wife, Johanna, well-known as a concert pianist, were in Lawrence over Sunday enroute from Cornell University to Colorado Springs where they will teach in a special summer session at Colorado College and where they will continue their work and residence in the fall. While in Lawrence the Harris's visited with Dean D. M. Swarthout and his family, and with Bernard Frazier, sculptor in whose work they are interested.
Mr. Harris was honor guest in 1942 at the University Music Week, when a number of his works for orchestra, band, and chorus were performed here, and who made the address at the All-University Convocation on Fine Arts Day.
Mr. Harris was given national recognition this past winter when his newly composed Fifth Symphony was performed over a coast-to-coast broadcast by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Dr. Serge Koussevitsky. He has just been commissioned by the Blue Network to compose a Sixth Symphony which will have a premiere performance in the spring.
Missionary To Speak On Campus Today
The Christian Fellowship group a university organization of students, is sponsoring the appearance on the campus this evening. of Miss Irene Webster-Smith, missionary, who will speak in Myers hall.
Miss Webster-Smith is a graduate of Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, and before the outbreak of Japanese-American hostilities had been a missionary to Japan for 25 years. She founded and ran an orphanage there, in which she cared for 86 children.
All students interested are invited by the Fellowship group to attend Miss Webster-Smith's lecture.
Dr. F. C. Allen spoke on the subject "Religion Makes the Headlines," at the Young People's Union services at Myers Hall Sunday night.

Graduate Enrollment Exceeds Expectation
Enrollment in the Graduate School for the summer semester is much greater than was expected, according to J. H. Nelson, assistant dept of the school. More than 35 persons are enrolled, with a great many more expected during the eight-week session beginning in June.
As might be expected, said Dean Nelson, enrollment is greatest if fields closely allied with the war of fort and in which there is heavy de mand for trained workers. Bacteriology and chemistry have drawn the most graduate students, he said Other departments in which gradu ate students are enrolled are sociology, English, education, physics geology, mathematics, and zoology.
A course in garden practice is being offered by the Hunter College evening and extension divisions.
