Jakosky Reveals New Army, Navy Engineer's Plan
Bringing with him plans for the new army and navy engineering programs and a favorable report on governmental priorities for plastics and engineering equipment, Dean J. J. Jakosky, head of the School of Engineering and Architecture, returned to the University Friday after a three weeks leave of absence.
A meeting with the American Institute of Mining Engineers in New York City to discuss problems of engineering education and the war effort brought about a correlation of engineering work and the new army and navy programs, Dean Jakosky explained
Governmental plans for men in the Army Engineering Reserve Corps are that at a term beginning the closest to March 15—the time at this school has not been definitely set—the men will be sent to an indoctrination center for a period of 13 weeks. If they do satisfactory work there, they will be returned to the University for more training.
Their training here will be in 12 week periods and their stay in school will depend upon their grades. Any man not doing satisfactory work at the end of the first period will go into the army. If he is recommended, however, the engineering student will continue with the 12 week study periods until the army feels he is ready for the work it wants him for. At the end of any 12 week period a man may be dropped out.
The navy program, however, allows the engineers to finish their schooling as they have planned, if they keep their grades up. Beginning at the same time as the army program, the term nearest March 15, the men in the Naval reserve will continue their work here in 16 week periods. Satisfactory work will allow them to finish their course, but a cheek will be made at the end of each 16 weeks. When these men finish their engineering course, they will be sent to a governmental indoctrination center.

One of the greatest Jayhawk cage teams ever to trod a Kansas court last night swept an outclassed Kansas State team from Hoch auditorium by a 47 to 30 score. Led by newly elected captain John Buescher, who tallied 21 points and played an aggressive floor game, the victors were never in trouble after
Selective service boards recently were authorized by the War Manspower Commission in Washington to give continued deferments to all engineering students who can complete their work by June, 1945. According to Dean J. J. Jakosky this will include all sophomores.

Little Joe Ridgeway, diminutive Wildcat forward, kept the men from Manhattan in the game during the opening minutes of the game, and midway in the first period the score was tied 10-all. Buescher and junior Max Kissell, who turned in a fine performance, began to find the basket at that piont, however, and at halftime the Jayhawks led 20 to 13.

Second half play was slowed up by close officiating, and four men left the game on fouls. Undaunted, however, Buescher continued his scoring activities and the Kansans slowly drew away to establish a new Big Six record on point advantage over opponents over the season, and to win their tenth straight Big Six conference game. Thus, the Kansans became the third team in conference history to finish the season undefeated.

Fire Damage Estimate Increased to $52,000
Last estimate made of the damage to the anatomy building and its contents was placed at $53,000 by the Chancellor's office this morning.

equipment had not been placed in the vault. The cadavers in the large tank in the southwest corner of the ruins are believed to be intact also. All but 10 of them on the first floor were saved.
Nearly all of the medical school classes are meeting in Snow hall. The medical school authorities worked frantically all night Wednesday with the Chancellor, found class space for the medics, and the school continued after the fire without missing a class.
