Draft Board Head Urges Men To Stay In School
That University men students should remain in school as long as possible, regardless of their military status, was the opinion expressed today by Bruce Cameron, chairman of the Douglas county selective service commission.
Said Mr. Cameron: "I am of the opinion that it is to the best interests of both the students and of the government for young men to remain in school as long as they possibly can. Should they be called, they have had at least the advantage of the additional time they have been in school, and if not called will be in a particularly advantageous position as far as the future is concerned."
Previously, officials of the Seventh Service Command, of Omaha, had advised young men to remain in school. These advices were forthcoming just after the government's announcement of policies relative to pilots in the army reserve.
The state Board of Regents has also recognized the importance of young men remaining in school as long as possible, and recently passed regulations for the refunding of fees should students be called during the semester for which they have enrolled.

(continued from page four) hawks opened the evening's festivities at Kansas City's Municipal auditorium by downing the North American Bombers 45 to 36, then defeated Rosecrans Field 71 to 22, and capped the day with a 57 to 26 triumph over Camp Crowder.
The three victories ran the Jayhawk non-conference total for the week to four. Allen's cagers had previously downed Oklahoma A & M, 36-29 in Hoch auditorium Wednesday night in a rough, give-and-take battle that left the contestants bruised and battered, and the spectators asleep as the Aggie defense slowed the game down to a walk.
Four Aggies left the game on fouls in the final half of the game. The Jayhawks also lost Charley Black on fouls.
Unhappy over the whole affair was Coach Henry Iba, who in a huff when his fourth man was waved from the game, refused to send in another substitute.
Lawrence Albright Hensley, student at the University from 1937 to 1642, was commissioned an ensign in the U. S. Naval Reserves at the Naval Air Training Center at Corpus Christi Friday. Hensley, a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, volunteered for flight training last February and received preliminary flight instruction at the Los Alamitos reserve aviation base.
He was presented his "Navy Wings of Gold" at graduation ceremonies where he received his designation as a Naval Aviator. Completion of the training at the world's largest naval air station qualifies the graduates for duty with the fleet, or assignment as an instructor at one of the Navy's preliminary flight training bases.
Hensley is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry R. Hensley of Dodge City.
Latin Is Not Dead
Latin Is Not Dead
Long known as a "dead language"
Latin is far from dying out in the
Texas schools, Dr. H. J. Leon,
University of Texas professor of
classical languages, has asserted.
"We have more calls for Latin teachers than we can fill" Dr. Leon said, "and the shortage is being increased by the war."
About 200 Texas high schools offer courses in Latin, he revealed.

Teachers Hope For New Plan On Retirement
Topeka, (INS) — Kansas school teachers today were looking to a better retirement plan following introduction in the legislature of a bill which would increase their compensation after retirement.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Barton E. Griffith, is an amendment to the Teacher's Retirement law enacted two years ago.
The house today gave its approval to the legislation legalizing the collection of the federal victory tax from Kansas public officials and employees.
This measure is expected to be sent to the governor for his signature by tomorrow. The first bill to reach him was a measure appropriating $100,000 for legislative expense.
Representative Powers of Wyandotte county introduced a bill to permit any municipality in Kansas to levy a tax of one cent a gallon on gasoline to raise money for street maintenance.
The proposal introduced by Sen. William H. Kahrf, Wichita, is also causing considerable comment today. His bill would repeal the state income tax law. He said the people were paying so many other taxes that they simply don't have the money to pay off their state income taxes.

High School Seniors Register Under Plan To Enter University
Col. Riggs Missing In Action Col. Carroll Riggs, assistant professor on the University R.O.T.C. staff from 1938 to 1940, is reported as missing in action in Australia since Dec. 18, 1942.
High school seniors registered today in accordance with the new plan providing for high school students to enter the University before receiving their diplomas. This group includes men of draft age in the V-programs, and others recommended by their teachers. Laurence Woodruff, registrar, announced that no estimate has been made of the number registered.
ENROLLMENT BRINGS---with a
(continued from page three) was peeping from under the enrollment table. Could it possibly? It could be, and it was. There was her transcript! Face It Alone
Grabbing this elusive pass to all further knowledge before it again escaped her, Carless Co-led finally made her way through the line of tables, faces and pamphlets. Elbows inevitably found their way to her unprotected ribs, chair legs had an uncanny way of placing themselves immediately in her path, and no one seemed to pay an ounce of attention to her. Her card had to be signed by every instructor on the floor; it seemed, and classes were closing every minute.
There's Always A Touch
After three and one-half hours of bewildering questions, signatures, and standing in endless lines, "Careless Co-ed" found herself confronted with a little orange card which demanded a healthy sum from her once fat bank account. But money seemed to be the least of her worries at this point. She dashed from the building, enrollment card in one hand and registrar's card in the other.
Enrollment is over. Classes begin tomorrow. Careless Co-eidnov rests peacefully on her studio couch trying to recover from the strenuous ordeal.
