Begin Specialized Aeronautic Study
Specialized training began Thursday for all women aeronautical engineers who work, study, and add a feminine touch to Marvin hall and the Aeronautical Engineering building behind it.
These women, most of whom came to the University at the beginning of the second semester, are employees of either Beech
Aircraft in Wichita of North American Aviation in Kansas City. Last week after they had completed their preliminary training, they were each interviewed by Prof. H. S. Stillwell, head of the aeronautical engineering department, to find out what work they wanted to specialize in for the next eight weeks.
Professor Stillwell said that the women's choice of specialization and the recommendations of his office usually were the same thing. "Naturally," he said, "the women do their best work in the field in which they are most interested." Both companies approved of their women's choices and only wished they had more women in the courses, he said.
Companies Approve Choice
Twenty-three women decided to specialize in aircraft drafting, 12 others chose structural and weight analysis, 17 are now training to be industrial engineers, and eight are taking courses in production illustration. The last specialized course was open only to women who have had previous art training in college. Same Basic Courses
The courses the women are taking now, Prof. Stillwell said, do not essentially differ from the ones they were all taking. The difference lies in the fact that the women who are now specializing in production illustration, for instance, are taking advanced courses in it and fewer or no classes like structural and weight analysis.
Prof. Robert McCloy has joined with Prof. Stillwell in teaching drafting and drawing. Alone he supervises the industrial engineering, while Prof. Stillwell teaches structures and weights. Morris E. Sandwig teaches aircraft nomenclature as he did the first eight weeks. There are eleven instructors holding classes for 60 women.
Chicago, (INS)—Four pretty young women donned brand new uniforms today and set about collecting tickets and calling stations on Illinois Central railroad electric suburban trains
Women Begin Work As Train-Callers
They were targets for occasional good-natured gibes or flirtatious remarks from the male passengers, but they performed their duties in a businesslike manner. The railroad had been doubtful of the advisability of hiring women for this "man's job" but was forced to it by the manpower shortage.
Today Flagman Johny Young, who had Marjorie Hickey, 21, as a pupil, declared with enthusiasm:
"She's a real railroader. She h兰
des her job like a man."
Radcliffe Offers Fellowships
Radcliffe college is offering two $500 fellowships for training courses in personnel administration.

Kansas City, (INS) — Wendell L. Willkie, who opened Kansas City's Red Cross drive with a non-political address before 10,000 persons Sunday, got snared in a political discussion at a press conference for 20 boys and girls who were editors and reporters of high school papers.
School Girl Sets Back W. L. Willkie
While the former Republican candidate for president was answering questions for the high school editors on his observations of the school system in Russia one girl reporter threw the press conference into a turmoil when she asked, "Are you going to run for president?"
When the all-around laughter died down she got her answer. It wasn't very enlightening to the political world but it satisfied the teen age gal reporter. All Willkie said was, "I don't know."
Kaiser and Williams Complete Cataloging Of Oil and Gas Wells
Philip Kaiser and Harold Williams of the staff of the State Geological Survey have just returned to Lawrence from Wichita. They have completed the cataloging of samples from about 500 additional wells, mostly from northeastern Kansas, which have just been added to the sample files maintained by the Geological Survey at their branch office in Wichita. Samples from about 2,000 wells are available in this office for the use of geologists and others engaged in the search for oil and gas. These samples are now of more than normal importance due to the urgent need for new discoveries of both oil and gas pools to assure a constant and adequate flow of fuel to war industries and to the Army and Navy.
International Club Will Meet Thursday
The International Relations Club will meet at 7:30 Thursday evening, in the Pine room of the Union building. Mary Cheney, president, has announced.
