Plans Reveal 18-19 Draft Postponement
Roosevelt set three separate registration periods for men who have reached or who will reach their 18th birthdays since the last registration on June 30 of this year.
Hershey said that the intent of this law is to include only the courses of study in the usual high school level of work and not to include elementary or grammar school level work and university or college level work.
Washington, Nov. 19. — In conjunction with President Roosevelt's announcements of how the new 18-year-olds are to be registered for the selective service yesterday, Brig. Gen. Lewis B.

Hill Money Is Put to Work Jayhawk in England
Children of Narnia The Jayhawk Nursery, established
The fame of the Jayhawk has spread to England.
Amidst the peaceful surroundings of Foxhill, near Rugby, England, there stands a spacious modern house. Somewhere on the front of that building may be found a plaque bearing in one corner the inscription, "The Jayhawk Nursery." In the other corner stands a replica of our beloved bird, hitherto unknown in England, the Jay-
The nursery was established with the aid of money raised in a drive conducted last year at the University and in Lawrence. Contributions totaling more than $3200 were collected, and an additional $350 was received from persons in other parts of Kansas. This sum was matched by the British government and added to the fund, in compliance with a promise to put up an amount equal to that raised here. 20 Childhood at Foxyhill
last February at Foxhill, is sponsored by the University. Now more than 30 children, ranging from two to five years of age, live and are cared for there. Most of these children were residents of nearby Birmingham until the war came to disrupt their lives. Their homes were bombed, their fathers joined the services to fight for England, and their mothers went off to work in munitions factories. But now, at Foxhill, they have a new home for the duration.
This nursery is one of 16 now be (continued to page two)
Malott Speaks of College Problems
Chancellor Deane W. Malott yesterday told a luncheon meeting of the Kansas City. Mo. chamber of commerce that this country's universities will face, in the next few weeks decision upon which their very existence will depend.
Chancellor Malott saw alternatives for universities in selection by the army and navy of men by competitive examinations to enter or continue in college, or close the college and turn over their facilities to the armed forces to do with as they desire."
"Many persons believe the latter course is wiser," the Chancellor said, "but I disagree. The educators understand the job better."
Washington officials have contributed to the general confusion. Chancellor Malott stated, by issuing contradictory advice.
"They tell us to speed up, then slow down. They tell us the liberal arts program must be abondoned, then they say every soldier should have a broad education. They tell
