Third Class For WOW's To Open Soon
The down to earth program for preparing women to enter industrial war production, at the University of Kansas, gained momentum today with the announcement by Dr. R. Q. Brewster, chairman of the department of chemistry, that a third class for women in the chemistry and manufacture of explosives, would be opened on Mt. Oread on December 28.
Already two classes, one in the analysis of smokeless powder taught by a chemist from the Hercules Powder company, and a second in the chemistry and manufacture of explosives taught by Dr. Brewster, are in session five nights a week on the campus. The new class and that taught by Dr. Brewster were started at the request of the Hercules Powder company, operating agency for the new munitions plant soon to be opened near Lawrence, and while those completing the courses are not guaranteed positions in the plant; company officials have assured stu-
ents that there is every likelihood for employment if proficiency in the class work is demonstrated.
Students in the course in the analysis in smokeless powder are listed as civil service employees of the government, and are already receiving compensation as such.
The courses in chemistry and manufacture of explosives are open to women from 18 to 65, Dr. Brewster stated, and should have some knowledge of chemistry, preferably high school chemistry or its equivalent. However, Dr. Brewster pointed out, other scientific knowledge may be substituted. These courses are offered under the Engineering Science Management War Training program, supervised by the Extension Division of the University of Kansas and sponsored by the United States Office of Education. Approximately 25,000 industrial workers in Kansas and Missouri have received training under the University's administration in this program, nearly one fourth of them women.
Dr. Brewster pointed out that for students enrolled in the chemistry courses, there would be no charges since the government is providing funds for the training, even to providing laboratory materials. The course consists of one hour class period with three hours of laboratory sessions each day five days per week.

CHARLES BLACK
The University curriculum committee working on the revision of the program is composed of O. O. Stoland. professor of physiology; H.C. Tracy, professor of anatomy; and C.F.Nelson, professor of biochemistry.
Previous plans for medical students had called for their transfer at the beginning of the summer semester, but because of limited facilities and loss of instructors on the Kansas City staff. the large number of medical students cannot be handled at that time.
In accelerating the program, entrants to the School of Medicine are being accepted each nine months instead of each twelve months.
Transfer of Medics Delayed A Semester
Medical students who entered the School of Medicine in June, 1942, will not be transferred to Kansas City for the completion of their courses until the fall semester of 1943, according to the revised program being worked out by the faculty curriculum committee.
City, about 9:15 p.m., Saturday.
Kansas University will meet the Gardner Clippers before 5,000 or more fans at Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Saturday night with the same style of offense that brought the Jayhawks an NCAA playoff spot last season -the fire wagon fast break.
After Missouri and the Iowa Seahawks settle gridiron differences the same afternoon, Coach Jack Gardner's Clippers will attempt to do what he could never accomplish while at Kansas State—defeat Kansas.
Menke Recovered
Lt. Gardner has ace Bill Menke, a former member of two fives that whipped Kansas easily, on hand for the Jayhawks. Menke, formerly with Indiana and Great Lakes, did not play in the Oklahoma A-M defeat Wednesday because of an injury.
Coach F. C. Allen expects to "trade goal for goal with the Clippers." Although the Clippers have been working longer as a unit than the Jayhawks, Allen believes that his squad is in better condition than Gardner's.
Following this plan, Phog thinks his quintet "may wear the Naval Clippers into submission." To do this, Kansas will have to perform much better than in the game against the fresh Tuesday. The Jay-hawks do not look quite as sharp as during the same period early last season.
Rooters Will Be There
Kansas' cheering section will be represented by the Argentine high school band, substituting for the University Band, Cheerleaders Van Peterson and Ruth Krehbiel, and several students.
Charlie Black, who was usually assigned to the tallest scoring ace last season, will guard Menke or Center Grady Lewis. If Lt. Gardner places Menke on the post, the big junior will cover him.
Ray Evans is expected to be more of an offensive threat this season with Dr. Allen placing more scoring duties on him. This shift will put more defensive work on Bill Brill, a Marvin Sollenberger type of player. Johnny Buescher and Otto Schnellbacher are equally proficient at offense and defense.
All 22 squadmen will leave Saturday afternoon for Kansas City.
