Few KU War Notables Ellsworth Searches
More than 400 alumni and former students of K U are serving in all branches of the nation's armed forces according to alumni records. Of these men, Brigadier General Ennis Whitehead is the only one to wear a star. The University's first and only Admiral is Alva Douglas Bernhard, a student here in 1907.
1 Bernhard is in command of the navy air
Rear Admiral Bernhard is force at the Norfolk Naval Station, Norfolk, Va. This summer, at the time of his promotion, Admiral Bernhard was head of the naval air station at Corpus Christi, Texas. He is a brother-in-law of John Ise, professor of economics.
Whitehead in Australia
General Whitehead was graduated from the College in 1920. He is now in Australia, a junior air commander under General Douglas MacArthur. Following his graduation Whitehead reported for the Topeca Daily Capital. He has been in the army since the early twenties, and before being sent to Australia, the general was ranking officer at Luke Field, Phoenix, Ariz. Margaret Whitehead, his daughter, was graduated from KU in the spring of 1942.
In his search to satisfy alumni readers concerning KU's army notables, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, discovered Brigadier General M. A. W. Shockley, a former student of the University in 1892 and '93 and graduate of the Kansas City medical college in 1898, only to learn that the general had just retired.
Need Generals
"This war came along and left us pretty hard up for generals," Ellsworth said, "but we have had illusorious generals in the past." He mentioned General Fredrick Funston, once General John J. Pershing's commandin officer for whom Camp Funston, newly mechanized cavalry encampment near Ft. Riley was named.
The University's list of colonels is: Raymond Dart. '14; Dr. Sumner Everingham, '07; Julius C. Holmes, John A. Hettinger, William H. Baily, and Alva Brumage, former students.

P. peard, former students. Navy Lieutenant Commanders are: Dr. Irwin S. Brown, '24; George M. Boman and Lyle Armel former students.

Basic Courses Test, Ihrig Tells Engineers
"Basic courses rather than the advanced courses are the criteria for which engineering graduates are selected for jobs today," Dr Harry K. Ihrig, Milwaukee, Wis., told engineers and their guests Friday evening. Dr. Irigh was guest speaker for the Dean's Dinner in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
"We look, instead, from the industrial standpoint, to their basic training in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, which are essential and cannot be overstressed in any field of engineering," he explained
Speaking on "Romance in Metallurgy", Dr. Ibrig outlined how research and analysis, with these basic courses, had changed living in the past fifty years.
IM Stars Of Week
Dr. Irbig emphasized the importance of iron in that 97 per cent of the metals used today are iron. The next in importance is copper which is less than one per cent.
Dr. Ihrig presented slides of the metal processes which showed the differences the new processes made in the composition of metals.
J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, introduced the engineering staff and their wives who were present, and Prof. E. A. Stephenson, head of the department of petroleum engineering, introduced Dr. Irigl. Prof. Alen Crafton, of the department of speech and drama was guest 'artist' who, with self-accompaniment, sang songs of World War I, including "If He Could Fight As He Can Love," "Just a Baby's Prayer at Twilight," and "Battle Hymn of the SOS."
