KU Women Give Opinion on Draft
"It's all right if it's necessary," is the general reaction of University women to the bill now being considered which provides for registration of women and possible drafting of available woman-power, according to a poll made yesterday and today.
Some of the opinions expressed:
Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser of women—"I rather favor the idea of voluntary service unless the emergency demands conscription of women. I feel that women are willing to do their part but those who go voluntarily would have more interest in their work. We must do what the emergency requires whether or not we like it."
Although most women intebill. they think it should notaffect college students.
Alice Marie Hayes, College freshman—"I like the idea. Most girls will look forward to it with a thrill or else will feel that it really needs to be done and go at it as a patriotic duty. I don't know whether or not it is necessary now, but I don't see how it could do any harm."
Evelyn Nielsen. College senior— "I think if men between the ages of 18 and 45 must register, women should also. There is no reason one part of our population should be singled out for service, while the rest of us can go ahead with our plans as if there were no emergency existing."
Necessary Move
Martha Young, senior in business "It seems to be a necessary move if they can't get women to voluntarily take jobs, but it's going to be a most difficult job to place women in the positions for which they are best suited."
Esther DeBord, College junior—
"If we want to win the war and win
it quickly, that's one of the best
ways to do it."
Mary Lou Lohman, senior in business—"Personally I don't like it, but just because we are women we shouldn't be exempted from military service. If we are to have total war it is necessary."
Kathryn Krebiel, College sophomore—"I don't favor drafting women because if the government follows its proposed idea of turning out men over 38 from the fighting forces, there should be enough workers for industry. I think that if women entirely take over industry there will be a very difficult period of adjustment and rearrangement when the fighting men come home after the war and prepare to resume their former position as wage earners and heads of families."
Viola Richardson, junior in fine arts-"I think that registration of women is a good idea. It will show what reserves are available if enough women to fill war positions do not volunteer."
Jerry Powell, College senior-"I
think it's necessary, if the proper exemptions are considered. College women capable of attaining a degree should be allowed to stay in school."
Serepta Pierpont, junior in fine arts—"It's all right if they want to have registration, but it's unnecessary, because there should be e- enough volunteers. Women who are in college should be allowed to complete their education."
Barbara Winn, College sophomore "I think it's silly for college girls unless they can get a higher position than the common ordinary women. The government is always asking for trained women, and we should finish our education." Against Registration
Against Registration
Margaret Penny, senior in business—"I am against registration. It is probably the best thing for the war effort but I am against the war effort. I think that less harm would be done by letting the enemy take over than by the war."
Mary Louise Harling. College sophomore—"I favor immediate conscription of women."
Edith Olmsted, College sophomore — "We want to win the war, and if registration and drafting of available woman-power will help, it is a necessary move."
Ruth Kelley. College senior—I think that since the fellows are fighting that non-combatant service is the least that we can do. It seems as though it might be necessary now, and whatever the government says is all right with me."
Do Voluntary Work
Marjorie Bueker, College sophomore—"I think that men are doing enough and that women can do voluntary work."
Betty Winterscheedt. College freshman—"Production is an important factor in winning this war. If women can speed up production they should be drafted for war work."
Nancy Brown. College sophomore—"I think that those of us in College should finish, and then we can help more later with more education. Women who are just wasting their time should be required to do some sort of work to help the war effort. Probably it's necessary right now, but I don't like the idea of being drafted."
Catherine Foster, College sophomore—"I think that women can do more at home just keeping the world stable so that there will be something for the men to come back to that is more-or-less the same as it was before.

Government Needs Persons Skilled in Oil and Rubber Crops
Persons with a practical knowledge of the production of rubber and oil-producing crops and other tropical plants, including the procurement of wild rubber, are being sought for federal employment, the Civil Service Commission announced Monday.
El Centro, Calif.—(ACP)—Automobile tires, as well as salads and bridge club sandwiches may be made of lettuce.
The positions range from chief crop production specialist, at $8,000 a year, to the assistant grade at $2,600 a year and persons appointed will do work in connection with the establishment and operation of research stations or plantations growing rubber or oil-producing plants. The duties will involve making surveys of the country to determine the selection of proper sites, soils, and other essential factors.
Latex Found in Lettuce May Be Rubber Substitute
L. G. Goar, of the University of California college of agriculture, disclosed that tests of three varieties of lettuce showed high contents of latex, main substance of rubber.
One wild variety, he said, yielded 29 per cent of latex from its stalk, as compared with approximately 25 per cent from guayule after three years growth.
Arnall Says Youths Should Vote Atlanta — (INS) — Ellis Arnall, Governor of Georgia, supports a move to grant 18-year-olds the right to vote. He is voted as saying, "we cannot sit by and see the youths fight and die and not allow them to vote."

Let's get serious about this job of winning the war. Vast quantities of war materials and thousands of troops are now being transported by rail.
To better and more efficiently move the ever-increasing production of essential materials and supplies, Union Pacific is
voluntarily reducing the speed of its regular passenger trains.
We know that all civilians who find it necessary to travel will willingly adjust themselves to slightly longer schedules and, during the duration, to somewhat less travel comfort if conditions so require. Our Nation's welfare must come first at all times.
2. Ask about war-time regulations regarding Pullman reservations now in effect on all railroads.
1. Plan trips and make reservations well in advance. When plans are changed please cancel reservations promptly.
3. Pack all articles needed on the train in one bag. Additional luggage up to 150 pounds can be checked through free.
TRAVEL HINTS FOR CIVILIANS
4. Avoid week-end travel peaks by plan ning mid-week departures.
5. Dining car and kitchen space are limited. Help your fellow travelers by relinquishing your seat in the diner when you have finished your meal.
