Navy Publishes Paper Micrometer
Around the first and fifteenth of every month when you see the sailors of the Training Station rushing home from mess in the Union building in double time—it's not a leave they're rushing for—it's the Micrometer.
The Micrometer, semi-mon the Naval Training Station, is th Maurice Roberts. Roberts not only writes the stories, edits them, attends to the circulation, but also cuts the stencil and runs the paper off the mimeograph.
Paper Announces Debut
The Micrometer in its first issue announced its debut thus: With this issue "NTS Micrometer", the new station paper of the Machinist's Mate training school, Kansas University hits the main gangway. After two weeks of scampering, scraping, and digging, the editorial staff, is now convinced that it can be done—and we "dood it". We hope our first edition meets the approval of all hands.
"As yet, the staff is incomplete and all hands, with any journalistic inclinations, are urged to step forth and volunteer their literary services. It is also desired to include cartoons from time to time in this paper, and anyone gifted in this line will be a welcome addition to the staff."
Faper A Morale Builder
The paper is for your enjoyment, for your convenience, and for your benefit. Those are our objectives, and only with your cooperation can we achieve them. We are open to any criticism, and we ask your suggestions. We want the Micrometer to be a morale builder, an entertainer, and a ready reference for all station activities.
The backbone of the paper is the editorial page. Roberts skillfully points out to the sailors means of improvement so that they may advance more rapidly in the Navy. One editorial head says "Salute sailor, salute!" Pointing out the impression that a smart salute makes to observers, Roberts said, "One of the most important things new recruits should remember is that the salute does not render anyone inferior. Actually, for an enlisted man not to salute when he should shows ignorance, and that in itself makes him inferior. So Salute Sailor—properly and smartly with both hands out of your pockets."
Editorial Warns Against Hoarding
In the same issue the Micrometer reminds "all officers, enlisted men, and their families to refrain from boarding or unnecessary purchasing of commodities which shortly will be sold on a rationed basis." The overpurchasing of commodities beyond normal daily needs is not only unpatriotic, but will seriously hamper the war effort, as food supplies are needed for feeding our increased armed forces."
Editorials do not fill the paper though. Sports, in which the navy does right well, have a page. Each division has a correspondent and their contributions fill a page. Some of the sailors contribute poems. And

then there are cryptic comments such as, "My father used to say, Son, never make love to a woman if you have something better to do. But, what the hell is better?"
"Bilge Burps" Column Filled
Items of that caliber fill the column, "Bilge Burps". And there are stories such as "That Nasty Ole Chief'll Git Yuh" that whisk sailors' cares away.
The Micrometer expects to add more reporters to its staff in the near future and the six-page semimonthly may soon expand.
School of Business Loses 28 Per Cent By Reservists' Call
Twenty-eight per cent of the total enrollment of the School of Business has been taken by the exodus of army reservists, Dean F. T. Stockton revealed yesterday.
Included in the loss of 55 men of the school were 20 called to the army air corps, 32 taken into the AERC, and three others inducted into other branches of the armed forces. Leaving in the School of Business 99 men and 40 women, this loss represents 36 per cent of the men enrolled at the beginning of the spring semester, Dean Stockton stated.
Of the remaining 99 men, however, nearly half are enlisted in some division of the naval reserve, the dean disclosed, assuring, as far as it is possible to predict, the opportunity for a substantial number tofinish the present semester.

Talks And Music Are Given At Art Banquet
Addresses of welcome by Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Dean Donald M. Swarthout, a musical program by University students, a humorous reading by Allen Crafton, professor of speech, and messages from prominent artists, composed a program given at the Art banquet Friday night.
Chancellor Malott stressed that art gives one an opportunity
Chancellor Malotts succeeds to enjoy his surroundings, because it provides more contact with the world in which one lives. Beauty is not an external thing but an appreciation within us," Chancellor Malotts said.
Art is playing a big part in the war, Dean Swarthout pointed out. Posters and cartoons have the power to create spirit in the American people. Art is very important in camouflage, Dean Swarthout said.
The musical program consisted of a trio, Ruth Prentice, Betty Ann Graffith, and Suzanne Schmidt, who sang "Three Little Maids From
School," from Gilbert and Sullivan; and vocal solos, "Honor Honor," and "A City Called Heaven," by Nadyne Brewer," "I'm Called Little Buttercup," by Betty Ann Griffith," "Tit Willow," from the Mikado, by Suzanne Schmidt, and "Now Sleeps the "Crimson Petal," and "Charming Chloe" by Ruth Prentice. Florence Richert and Max Hughes accompanied the numbers.
Professor Crafton gave a humorous reading on Kansas.
