Illinois to have Mid-year Graduation
Billions to have Mid-year graduation Because of the speed-up war program( complete gaduation services will be held on Dec. 16, for mid-year students at Bradley Tech in Peoria, Ill.

All the emphasis given the April graduates will be given in December with baccalaureate service on the Sunday preceding graduation.
Lovola Plans Monument
Students of Loyola University are contributing this week to a drive for funds to erect a monument to Loyola's war dead. The sum of $1,000 is expected to be raised from student contributions and alumni and from entertainments to be given during the year. The money will be invested in war bonds and stamps for the duration, and immediately after the war, the memorial will be erected.
Japanese Is Popular Language
First-year Japanese has drawn the highest enrollment in Extension division language courses at the University of California. The high enrollment is believed to be due to its necessity for persons following military, diplomatic, and war duties.
Slightly Confused!
Doctors at the College Hospital at Iowa State College have been receiving a variety of answers to apparently simple questions. When one student was asked for his college classification, he replied, "Irish." Another prospective patient answered the same question, "1-A."
Minnesota Offers New Course
A new course in micro-wave theory will be offered by the physics department at the University of Minnesota as soon as organization is completed. A series of introductory lectures will be offered to review necessary mathematical techniques. Pre-requisites for the course are calculus and differential equations, and
Fossil ★★★ Find Rare Turtle
A new species of fossil turtle, the only specimen of its kind ever discovered in the western hemisphere, was found last summer by Dr. C. W. Hibbard and his party on a field trip through southwestern Kansas.
Jack Twente, son of Professor J. W. Twente, acting dean of the school of education, discovered remains of the turtle shell on terrace sands along the Cimarron river.
Members of the party, examining the shell, realized that it was different from those of ordinary terrapin, but Dr. E. H. Taylor, professor of zoology, has since identified it as a species of the genus Emys. Only one specie has been found in each hemisphere. Dr. Taylor completed the classification by putting pieces of the shell together and studying turtle species.
Members of the field trip five years ago discovered a valuable wolf jaw on the Cimarron river site. It was placed in Dyche museum.
Dr. Hibbard's party this summer found fossil horse teeth and a specimen of a mouse jaw on the same site.
Swarthout To Study Music
Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts will leave Wednesday for Minneapolis, Minn., as examiner for the National Association of Schools of Music, of which he is a member of the graduate committee, to study two of the leading schools of music in the city. He expects to return to his office on Saturday.
as much of the theory of electricity as a junior in electrical engineering would be expected to have.
Phones Are Treacherous
It sounds like a mean trick, but it happened to a University of Oklahoma man. The fellow frantically borrowed money to take a collect call at 1 a.m. from his O. A. O. in Detroit. That's what he thought, but what he heard was a strange girl shout, "Hi, sucker!"

Child Book Pictures On Display
A new art exhibit of original illustrations from children's book is now in Spooner-Thayer museum. This exhibit is sponsored by the Library committee of the Lawrence council of parent-teacher association, and is part of celebration for National Book Week next week.
Part of the collection is illustrations of the book, "Rufi," the story of a squirrel written by A. B. Leonard, assistant professor of zoology. This is the first children's book he has written. It was published by the Caxton Publishing company in Idaho, and the illustrations are by Walter Yost, fine arts graduate.
Mr. Leonard and Mr. Yost will be in the art gallery from 3 to 5 tomorrow afternoon. Other members of the Art department will be present.
Mrs. Domenico Gagliardo, chairman of the committee sponsoring the exhibit, said that the University is fortunate to have these illustrations since most publishers won't part with the original drawings. She said that the exhibit given last year received so much publicity that the publishers have been very cooperative.
The exhibit will be in Spooner-
Thayer museum all week, including
next Sunday. The museum is open
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and
from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Sundays.

First Jayhawker Has Variety Magazine Goes To War
By FLORENCE BROWN
From the four-color front cover to the end, the Fall issue of the Jayhawker is crammed with pictures, features, introductory articles, cartoons, and even a page of words written in the name of poetry.
Just in case the Jayhawker reader didn't know the University is in this war too, gearing its facilities to the war effort, he'll be conscious of the fact after reading John Kreamer's story on "The Reserve Offi-
Just in case the Jayhawke versity is in this war too, gearin he'll be conscious of the fact story on "The Reserve Officers," "The Jayhawk's Wings Grow Stronger" by Bob Coleman, and "Everybody Loves the Navy" by Joy Miller (the truth is, Joy's exposure was officially censored, and John Conard wrote the one that appeared.)
Right in line with national defense comes physical fitness, and Itakit Tu gives an "inside-dope" account of conditioning classes in the article, "Biceps Incorporated."
And "Union Now" is something that wouldn't have come along if it hadn't been for the war. Betty Perkins reviews Clarence K. Streit's life as a correspondent and his lecture on Oct. 13.

Pledge Class Pictures
Your interest in pictures and hopes of finding familiar faces probably will prompt you to scan the pledge class pictures. And when you come to the pictures of the new students in the dorms, don't be perturbed because you can't find the name of the hall represented. It isn't there.
Assuming that you don't know what it's all about, Virginia Gunsoll presents her findings and ideas on the Lantern Parade. Another exposition is Bill Feeney's review of a day in the "Shack" when a Kansan is being published.
