University To Admit High School Seniors
Kansas high school seniors now have another opportunity to speed up their education still further as a war emergency by clipping another full year from the time it takes to graduate from college, according to a regulation passed this week by the University of Kansas administration.
immendation of the high school principal, if the ___
Upon recommendation of student has attained senior standing, is in the upper ten per cent of his class, has qualities of leadership and ability as evidenced by a special aptitude test provided by the University, a student may be admitted to the University at the beginning of the summer semester, May 21.
This regulation, approved by the Kansas State Board of Education, contemplates that high school credit will be given for the freshman year of college, and that the high school diploma will be issued after the conclusion of the college freshman year. This year of work will also count for regular University credit as usual and as prescribed by the various schools of the University.
The University is now on a year round basis, offering three full semesters a year, the next beginning in May. By such an arrangement, it is possible for a student to complete work for a full college degree in two and two-thirds calendar years. By the new University regulation, it would be possible for students in the upper ten per cent of their classes to complete high school and college in five and two-thirds years, as against eight required before the new war speed-up program at the University.
University Works Round The Clock
As a matter of fact, in addition to being on a year round basis, the University is also actually on a round the clock schedule. In order to provide classroom and shop facilities for the engineers, it is necessary to schedule classes at all hours of the day and night. Flourescent lights blazing through the nights in Fowler Shops attest that the sailors are utilizing the facilities of the University round the clock in the all out war effort. Regular engineering students at the University utilize Fowler shops several hours in the afternoons.
OKLAHOMA WINS--tion providing for the conscription of all men and women between the ages of 18 and 64 for industry, agriculture, and the armed service."
(continued from. page one) six victories, four affirmative and two negative. The University of Wichita had a total of five victories, the University of Kansas and the University of Nebraska had four victories apiece. Iowa State won one contest.
The debate topic was, "Resolved That congress should pass legislation providing for the conscription of all men and women between the ages of 18 and 64 for industry, agriculture, and the armed service."
The extemporaneous speaking contest was won by Bob Leffler of Oklahoma, who received the $20 prize for first place. Because of a ruling, made by the League before the contest started, stating that only one contestant from each school could be counted among the top three, Tom Finney, also of Oklahoma could not collect the $10 prize for second place, even though he placed second in the contest.
Oklahoma Wins Again
The oratorical contest was won by Rick Davis, University of Texas, for his oration on "John Q. Citizen, the Third." Cash prize for first place was $20.
Bill Conboy, University of Kansas, won the $10 prize for second place because of the rule. Bill Rist, University of Nebraska, took the $5 prize for third place. All speeches were on some phase of the topic, "Post War Organization."
Texan Wins For Oratory
Romulo Soldevilia, University of Nebraska, won the second prize of $10 speaking on the topic, "The War of Ideas."
David Woods, University of Oklahoma, won the third prize of $5 with his oration, "When Johnnie Comes Marching Home."
Professor E. C. Buehler, chairman of the meet, closed the meet with a word of thanks to the contestants, and hoped "that conditions won't get so bad that the Missouri Valley League cannot continue.

New York, (INS)A meatless weekend, the like of which this metropolis of 7,500.000 residents never has experienced, confronted New York City this weekend since both wholesale and retail butcher shops were either closing or without even meager supplies.
New York Faces Meat Shortage This Week
Even after rationing of mea begins on Monday, New Yorkers will have difficulty obtaining meat because of depleted stock and the fact that much of the little now trickling into this jam-packed city is earmarked for war or lendlease purposes.
It even was difficult to get poultry in some sections and the supply of potatoes forced a number of stores to place a limit on purchases—as little as two pounds.
Mute evidence of the critical situation was the inactivity Friday at the huge market places where hustle and bustle were commonplace only a week ago. Instead of the rush of sales there was the sombre realization that the shortage had become critical.
West Washington market, one of the largest of its kind in the world, was virtually closed and three of the city's biggest packing firms did not open until long after their accustomed time. They had little, if any, meat to sell so it was a waste of time to go through the motions for any longer than necessary.
