Junior, Senior ROTC Students Sent to OCS
More than 60 students in advanced R.O.T.C. at the University last semester have been assigned to army camps, from where they will be sent to officer candidate schools in preparation for commissions in the infantry and coast artillery units of the army.
Many of the men received their orders before they left the University, and will report first to Ft. Leavenworth. Most of them then will be sent to schools in Texas. Several students who completed the advanced training in January were permitted to remain in school the past semester in order to finish work on their degrees. These men are being sent directly to officer candidate schools.

Chancellor Malott Welcomes Students
On behalf of the Administration and Teaching Staff of the University, I welcome each student, old or new, as the summer semester begins.
This is not a normal year on the campus, as this University is a part of the great war effort which engrosses our nation. But whatever the inconveniences and discomforts, they are of minor importance compared to the opportunities for study, for training and preparation, and for fellowship in the University community on Mount Oread which lie ahead of you in the days to come.

Create Pool To Train Journalists
To help relieve a serious shortage of newspaper workers, five national and regional associations of publishers have announced a plan to form a "replacement pool" of women and draft-exempt men by working closely with the 33 schools in the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism—of which the department of journalism at the University is a charter member.
"This new plan shows that the publishers are relying heavily upon the professional schools to supply trained, educated workers," explained Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism. At Kansas, we are trying to find upper-classmen who can be trained quickly by electing our 'war-time' minor sequence of fundamental journalism courses. This 11-credit sequence can be completed in two semesters—beginning this summer—entirely on an elective basis, without a shift in major. Students who complete the minor sequence satisfactorily will be assisted by this department in getting 'placed' on publications."
The "replacement pool" will be a list of possible candidates for journalism training compiled by the publishers' National Council and the names of prospective students will be sent to the 33 Class A schools of journalism in the AASDJ.
The publishers' organizations cooperating through the National
