Study By Correspondence Students in Africa
Two University students are seeing the war in Africa at close range, and the description of maneuvers and desert skirmishes means more than abstract stories in newsprints to them. These two men, Randall Brown and Merlin Adamson, live in Belgian Congo, Afrira, and both are enrolled in the University correspondence courses.
Brown, 15-year-old, the son of missionaries, was a student for some time in a Los Angeles high school, but when his parents were sent to Belgain Congo, he had only five and one-fourth units of high school credit. He decided to learn by "remote control," and enrolled in two English courses, plane geometry, and elementary French. Makes High Grades
Facing the difficulties of learning without the aid of instructor or fellow students. Brown succeeded in making 'A's.' His 'extra-curricular' activities include learning the native language of the country. "Kirundi," French, which he mastered by himself, is the official language of Belgian Congo.
Brown is procuring a liberal education through the medium of travel. He sailed from Port Arthur, Texas, to Capetown, South Africa, and from Capetown went 3800 miles to Kivimba, Belgian Conga, a journey on which he traveled through Johannesburg, Livingston, and Elizabethville. South African attractions such as elephant hunting and the zoological sights of wild hippos, waterbuffalo, and antelope were common in the day's events.
Lives Near Brown
Merlin Adamson, the other African student correspondent, lives about two hundred miles from Brown but the two men became friends when Adamson visited Brown this summer.
The war in Africa may effect these men in many ways, but the most unhappy possibility is that regarding correspondence work. After working long, laborious hours, and after finally completing a couple of geometry problems. Brown and Adamson are worried with the fear that the work might be destroyed crossing war zones while on the trip to Lawrence.

Llohry was dangerous both on the ground and in the air, while Darling plunged viciously and backed up the line with finesse. In the Iowa State line, end George Harville and tackle Bill Barger turned in exceptional performances.
IOWA WINS---to the Jayhawk 5. A penalty placed the ball on the Kansas one-yard line, and, after the stubborn Jayhawk line had held twice, Darling crashed over on third down. Iowa State failed to convert.

The Cyclones again made a first down before a Cyclone fumble was recovered by the Jayhawks on the Iowa 29-yard line. A five yard penalty, and a rushing attempt by Evans took the ball to the Cyclone 16. Gene Roberts entered the game, but was thrown for a seven yard loss and injured on his first play. Evans then drifted back, shot a short pass to Linquist on his left and behind the line of scrimage. The fullback
Cherry Pie King
★★★
Wins Contest
Can she bake a cherry pie. Billy boy? If she can't, Billy Faulkner, 16 year-old navy baker from Waco, Texas, is prepared to bake his own. Faulkner is the bright boy of the navy baking class, conducted daily in the Union cafeteria kitchen by Mrs. Violet Fowkes, navy baking inspector.
Yesterday, each of the advanced baking students was asked to prepare 12 cherry pies for a contest to be judged by Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Union building. The winner would be proclaimed "Champ, Chef" and be relieved of his cleaning-up duties.
It was a close contest, but Miss Zipple finally decided that one group of pies looked more delicious than the others. These prize pies were Billy's. As pies are the last step in baking instruction, which begins with bread and progresses to cakes and cookies. Billy has been graduated. He is no longer a student, but a full-fledged navy baker. The amateur champ has become a professional.

On the first play Linquist drove hard to the one-foot marker. However, from there the desperate Cyclone line three times in succession threw back Kansas backs without an inch of gain in a brilliant goal line stand. Lohry then punted beautifully out of danger to Altman on the Kansas 10-yard line. The half ended one play later. Darling Scores Again
The Cyclone kickoff to start the second half went over the goal line, and the Jayhawks took over on the

Membership in the CAP is voluntary and, to date, no restrictions have been set. Instruction is given in military procedure, first aid, navigation, meteorology, observation and radio operation. College women have shown particular interest in CAT work because, in the event that women are drafted for auxiliary defense work, this training will give them fundamental p.eparation.
The "squadron" is the local unit of the Civil Air Patrol. The district unit is the 'group' and the state unit is the "wing." Capt, Lewis K. Zimmer from the Lawrence squadron is medical and personnel officer of the "wing." Lt. Howard Z. Lindley, also of Lawrence is the "group" intelligence officer.
Industrial training schools which select students for paid technical instruction frequently ask CAP officials to recommend persons for training. Young men seek membership because it fits them for specialized positions in the air forces.
Commissioned and noncommissioned officers are selected from the membership to direct movements. Heading the present staff personne is Lt. Harold Emick, staff commander. Lt. Emick is an ex-service man and a licensed pilot. Though several members of the Lawrence squadron have had flight training only Lt. Emick and Lt. Ruth Orcutt flight commander, are licensed pilots. Miss Orcutt is associate professor of piano in the School of F Arts.
Several Indian Students
The three commissioned officers are Lt. Wilfred C. Hunsinger, executive officer; Lt. Willard Larkin, adjutant; Lt. George E. Berg, training and operations officer; Lt. Emma B. Berg, equipment and supply officer Lt. George Berg is an instructor at the Haskell Institute. Several Indian students are non-commissioned officers.
