Alumni Pamphlet Will Feature Political Map
The pamphlet currently being put out by the Alumni Association will feature a political map of Kansas showing home districts of members of the state senate and house, according to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary. In addition there will be information on the new mineral industries building, a list of the war activities of the University, and other topics of school interest.
The Alumni Association secretary stated that in the past the pamphlets containing the political map has proven extremely
popular, and that there have been many inquiries this year by members of the legislature concerning the publication of the material this year.
There is a full page picture of the new mineral industries building, almost ready for use, in addition to a short sketch of the usages the building will be put to.
Some of the war activities listed are a shortened course to two and a half years through adoption of year-around schedule; expanded enrollment in such courses as medicine, engineering, chemistry, physics, and mathematics; added departments and subjects such as aeronautical engineering, secretarial training, camouflage, navigation, aerial photography, medical entomology, meteorology, and first aid; special courses of study to train women for work in industry and other war services; a widely recognized physical conditioning program for all men going into armed forces; a war information library for use of the entire state; more than 25,000 persons trained for war industries in Kansas through extension division program, under sponsorship of the office of education; and training of such units as the Naval Training School for Machinist Mates, and cooks and bakers, with 800 sailors assigned, a United States signal civil service radio school, with studying powder analysis for service 65 trainees; a class of 30 women in the United States ordinance department in war plants; a technical course of study for 200 women going into airplane production; and a pilot training course under Civil Air Authority, which has ranked high in the nation in number of graduates and quality of training.
New Radios for Merchant Marine
Two thousand six hundred newly designed seagoing radios will be placed aboard new Maritime Commission vessels, and ships under the control of the War Shipping Administration. This type of radio, unlike standard receiving sets, does not help enemy vessels locate the ship which carries it, but will make it possible for men in America's merchant marine to hear domestic programs.
Tokyo will eliminate the Dutch and British educational systems in Sumatra and Malaya in favor of another "which will fully develop the mental and physical faculties of the natives."
Snooping Around News and Views from other colleges
Japanese Accepted
Kansas Wesleyan University will have two or three Japanese students enrolled second semester. These students have been approved by the F.B.I. and also K.W.U.
W.S.S.F Contributions Increase
Contributions to the World Student Service Fund have been solicited at McPherson College, and the results show a definite increase over last year. The increased fund is believed to indicate an increased interest in aid to foreign students.
War Trims Faculty Personnel
War has affected Princeton University by taking approximately one-quarter of the University's normal instruction staff and increasing the burden of those who remained. Abandoning their private research projects and class room instruction for the duration, 84 members of the faculty have entered war service, 46 as members of the armed forces of the U.S. and Canada and 38 as advisors and experts in government agencies or war industry. In addition to these faculty members, 16 administrative officers have left for the duration either to enter the armed forces or to work in war industry.
Yale Makes Room for the Army
Yale is making room for 2,000 army officers on their New Haven campus. The officers of the army air corps will utilize approximately one third of the total facilities of the university in their training program. Yale also plans to give special training courses to as many drafted men as the army sends. These men will be enrolled in courses taught by members of the Yale faculty and will be considered a part of the regular student body, but they will not be candidates for the Yale degree.
U.C.L.A. Makes It
For the first time in the history of U.C.L.A. the University's football team achieved the honor of being nominated to the nearby Rose Bowl for the New Year's game.
As a result of excessive class cutting by students at the University of Oklahoma, a new rule will be enforced next semester. The rule is that students who cut more than three classes without a legitimate excuse will automatically be expelled from the university.

A Horror Of War! Rubber Won't Stretch If We Have None
Few people ever stop to realize what an important part rubber plays in our daily lives. They have forgotten that shortly after we are born we are introduced to this neutral-tasting commodity in the form of a lactic pipeline. They forget that our diminutive derriers are swathed in rubber until such time as carefully inhibitions may be safely substituted. They recall with nostalgia, if at all, that our formative years are involved with rubber boats, rubber ducks that squeak, sling shots and

bootball bladders. They have conveniently chosen to hide deep in the subconscious, that horrible evening at the high school dance when the garter broke and the world went black. Ahhh, Rubber!
Has New Importance
The familiar stench of too-suddenly braked tire, once dismissed with a sniff and a shrug, has become identified with criminal negligence, if not downright treason. Every under-inflated tire, every careless bump against the curbstone, every screeching turn gives us the feeling that we've sunk a rubber boat, torn a gas mask off a soldier, or sent a jeep into battle on its rims.
At this particular time, rubber has taken on a new importance. Among the horrors of war, has emerged the terrifying fact that rubber, when we haven't got it, won't stretch.
If we don't feel that, we should.
We joke about tire rationing because it's the American way to kid ourselves most about that which we feel most seriously. We can tell ourselves that this thirty-five mile-an-hour law will be more dangerous than tearing along at seventy because, while we formerly didn't take our eyes off the road, now we don't dare take them from the speedometer. We say that, and laugh and order another beer, but we know we're kidding.
