War and Chinese Exhibits Feature Museum Display
Two new and different exhibits are now featured in Spooner- Thayer museum. Both collections are owned by the museum. In one gallery war posters from World War I are displayed, and in the other many eastern paintings and tapestries, chiefly Chinese, are hung.
Spectators of the war posters can compare them with those of today. Included are posters of marine enlistment, Red Cross donations, war bond sales, and conservation of food.
Posters urging people to conserve the same types of food as today are numerous in the display of World War I. One reads: Food:
1. buy it with thought
2. cook it with care
3. use less wheat and meat
4. buy local foods
4. buy local foods
5. serve just enough
6. use what is left
don't waste it
Belgian, English, and Canadian posters cry desperate needs and show pictures of wounded and small children clinging to their parent's hand. It is evident that posters in the last war were drawn to create more sympathy and sentimentality than those today.
One poster urging American women to join in war factory work shows a woman in overalls with an airplane in one hand and a bomb in the other. So the slacks of the woman defense worker today are no novelty.
The other gallery is filled with far-eastern art. Most of the paintings and all of the tapestries are Chinese. However, there is a large Korean painting, 17th century, which covers the wall at one end of the room. There is also a Persian painting, one from East India, and a Japanese painting.
Kansas Legislators Plan Short Session Of Important Issues
Topeka (INS) — Although the OPA has ruled the members of the Kansas legislature are entitled to C gasoline ration cards to enable them to travel at will, a drive is under way among the leaders of the lawmakers to make the session the shortest in history.
Henry S. Buzick, Jr., former speaker, and Wayne Rogler, chairman of the House Ways and Means committee, insisting that only the most important matters be considered and that the session be held down to not more than 50 days.
The legislature will begin work Jan. 12.
Pharmacy Students To Give Talks
Three seniors in the School of Pharmacy will provide the program for the Pharmacy colloquy at 11:30 Friday. Allen Sebaugh, whose discussion of "Sleep" was held over from the last meeting because of lack of time, will speak this Friday. Ray Garrett will discuss "Drug Addiction." Ardon Butel has chosen "Socialized Pharmacy" for his subject.
THAYER SCORES---must be between 18 and 35 years of age, and be a high school graduate. College education is desirable. Nursing schools charge tuition but usually give free room and board to a student during training. Lack of funds need not discourage any qualified woman; federal scholarships are now available to cover tuition fees in most nursing schools. Although the training period varies among the country's 13,000 nursing schools, three years is the average

Army, Navy Government Pays Tuition and Women Spend Three Years Need Nurses
Nineteen thousand student nurses must be recruited soon to meet America's nursing requirements, it was estimated at the meeting of the National Council for War Service and government's Subcommittee on Nursing.
To qualify as a student, a woman
The Nursing council pointed out that a steadily increasing number of student nurses must *
Council officials particularly have urged college women graduating at midyear to enroll in professional nursing schools. In addition to the immediate need for nurses in the armed forces and for guarding the civilian population against epidemics and diseases, the Council points out that the post-war reconstruction offers unlimited possibilities for service at home and abroad for the trained nurse.
The Nursing council pointe number of student nurses must be trained to replace the 3,000 graduate nurses being called up by the Army and Navy each month.
Figures compiled by the Nursing Council for War Services show that 35,000 girls, must be trained as nurses in 1942, and that 65,000 more will be needed in 1943. Thirty-six thousand young women entered nursing schools in September, and 19,000 more are needed for classes beginning in January and February in order to meet the year's quota.
To simplify recruiting, the Nursing Council for War Service has set up a clearing and information bureau in New York. Qualified women who write to Nurses Training, Columbus Circle, New York City, will be sent a list of the nursing schools in their vicinities.
Miller Coaches University High
Dick Miller, freshman basketball coach, is now coaching University High's basketball team. The school has won two games this year.
Girth Control Involved Food Rationing
Coeds who tend to be slightly husky shouldn't think that at last all temptation will be removed and that to be within the law they must reduce when the new food rationing plan, under which more than 200 foods are to be rationed, goes into effect in February.
Charts appended to Secretary Wickard's speech last Monday night show that no one who buys his share of the food will
lack nourishment under the program. Actual amounts to be allotted to individuals have not been announced yet. Meat and Butter Not Returned
Another consolation for those persons on the solid side is that meat and butter are not yet to be rationed although it is generally expected that they will be added to the list of foods to be rationed later.
Meat and Butter Not Rationed
The rationing will be undertaken in order to insure that everyone gets his share and to supply the growing needs of the armed forces and some of the United Nations.
Wickard announced that among the foods to be rationed would be, with few exceptions, all canned, dried, and frozen fruits and vegetables, and soups. This may mean that some vegetarians will suffer, but at least they have the consolation that they still may can their own.
Some persons think that the announcement of the program so far in advance will cause a bargain day rush on grocery stores. Elmer Davis, director of war information, expressed the belief that the majority of Americans were too patriotic to do that, however.
Institutional buyers of these commodities from the Walderf Astoria to Joe's Beanery will also have to cut down their menus to conform with the program, Wickard announced.
Not Patriotic To Stock Up
Men Should Continue Schooling Until Called -Educator Advises
College men uncertain about their military status have been advised to go back to school and stay there until actually called into military service.
Such advice was given by Dr. Francis J. Brown, consultant for the American Council on Education. Dr. Brown believed the plan the best for both students belonging to the enlisted reserves and subject only to draft actions.
A new educational committee, appointed by Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt, has met to consider selection of an estimated 350 colleges and universities to be used in specialized training program recently announced by the army and navy.

Seven college presidents and two laymen, experienced in government and educational work, form the educational committee.
