Establish Student Training Record
Last semester the University trained more students than at any time in its history, according to a report from Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association.
Although the average of college enrollments throughout the country dropped 14 percent, regular residence enrollment at the University was down only 7 percent from last year to 3.751. Special training groups on the campus from navy, signal corps, and civil air authority brought the total in residence up to 4,700. In addition, the University extension division managed the training of 10,000 persons for war industries in special classes over the state under the program of the United States Office of Education.
Deferments requested by the army and navy for upper classmen
aided in the expansion of enrollments in such established courses as medicine,engineering, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Large classes were conducted in such new departments and subjects as aeronautical engineering, secretarial training, camouflage, navigation, aerial photography, medical entomology, meteorology, and first aid.
The University undertook the training of such units as the Naval Training School for machinist mates with 830 sailors assigned; a Signal Corps civil service radio school, with 64 trainees; a class of 30 women studying powder analysis for service with the ordinance department in war plants; a technical course of study for a maximum of 200 women going into airplane production; and a pilot training course under Civil Air Authority.

In Berlin, the Nazis tried to find a word for it. They announced the evacuation under a Rome dateline to designate Italian responsibility and again referred to Rommel as a "master of fluent warfare." There was no admission of the unquestionable fact that British arms have given Hitlerism the soundest military pounding of its career.

Beaver Skeletons
★ ★ ★
Used in Study
The Museum of Natural History has received 10 beaver skeletons from the Kansas Game commission. The skeletons will be used for study purposes by University students.
In order to prepare the animals for classroom study, Mr. C. D. Bunker, curator of modern vertebrates, dries the beavers. After the beavers are thoroughly dry, beetles are allowed to lay eggs on the skeletons. The eggs hatch into fuzzy larvae which eat the meat of the animals.
All changes MUST be in Kansan office by Friday, Jan.29.
The Kansas Game commission plans to trap 1,000 beavers to secure pelts for commercial purposes. The University has applied for the skeletons, and Mr. Bunker expects to receive a large number of the trapped animals.
