LaVere Calkins Appointed to Aid Entomoloqu Head
LaVere Calkins, who received his bachelor of arts degree from the University in 1931, has been appointed assistant to state entomologist H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology and head of the department of entomology here, it was announced yesterday.
The appointment of Mr. Calkins fills a vacancy left open since the middle of September, when Dr. Reese Sailer, who formerly held the position, left to accept a position as associate entomologist in charge of Heteroptera at the National Museum in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Sailer, who received his doctor of philosophy degree here last year, is the fourth man from the University's department of entomology to receive a position in the National Museum. Most appointees to the museum are designated only as junior entomologists or assistant entomologists. Mr. Calkins, previously employed by the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, conducted surveys upon grasshoppers in western Kansas.
The new assistant's territory will be the southern half of the state.

The faculty should at least make an effort to show their sportsmanship by keeping physically fit, for the man who abandon fitness is abandoning himself, Allen declared. "Our armed forces retire officers not capable of fulfilling their duties and so should our institutions of learning. Faculty members who repeatedly miss their classes as a result of unfitness, should be retired likewise. If these faculty members were physically fit, they would not consistently miss their classes as a result of illness or of hypertension," Allen concluded.
University Graduate Asks Citizenship
Joseph Ramos, graduate of the School of Engineering in 1939, applied Saturday in the Lawrence court for his citizenship.
Mr. Ramos, a Tarascan, is now residing in Shawnee, Oklahoma. While attending the University, he worked for Dr. E. H. Taylor, professor of zoology. Dr Taylor vouched for Mr. Ramos' character in the court.
Peabody,Kuersteiner Present Recital
Miss Irene Peabody, mezzo-soprano, and Karl Kuersteiner, violinist, accompanied by Miss Ruth Orcutt and Miss Allie Merle Conger, presented the second in the series of faculty recitals sponsored by the School of Fine Arts at 8 p.m. yesterday in Fraser theater.
The program was divided into four parts with the two performers alternating. Mr. Kuersteiner played the opening number, "Sonata No. 9, Opus 47. Adagio sostenuto—Presto," (L. Van Beethoven). Miss Peabody's numbers for the second part included "Stars With Little Golden Sandals," "He Came," and "Request," (Franz); "The Gardener" and "Und Willst Du Deinen Liebsten Sterben Sehen," (Wolf); "The Smith," (Brahms), "In Zitterden Mondlicht," (Haile), and "The Hen and The Carp." (Mattisen.)
These violin numbers were played by Mr. Kuersteiner during the third part: "To The Prairie," (Burleigh), "Sioux Flute Serenade," (Skilton), "To A Cactus-Flower," (Burleigh), "Toy-Soldiers' March," (Kreisler), and "Introduction and Tarantella." (Sarasate).

Reduce Geological Request
Chief change aside from salaries and maintenance, is a reduced request for the Geological Survey. Chancellor Malott pointed out that the reduction was in no way an "indication of the lessened importance of this work, nor an implication that the Survey's work is over."
The need for its surveys are greater than ever, he said, "but man-power is almost impossible to obtain in these critical days, and with the absence of Dr. Raymond C. Moore, director of the survey, who has been called to the armed services, it has seemed wise to somewhat curtail these important activities."
The medical budget increase, Chancellor Malott states, represents a reflection on increased costs of operation of the hospitals and the low wage and salary scales that require adjustment if the hospitals are to continue operating.

This Week's Mid-Semester Quizzes Reveal Study Habits
Between the first and last of every school semester, approximately an equal distance from the first and the last, mid-semester examinations are given to students of learning in order to determine for the professor whether or not the students in mind have an average chance to be in attendance the following semester.
It should also be explained that inmates of these centers of learning are classified as students until proved otherwise. Flat Foot no Excuse
At this point it should be explained that in these centers of learning there is a rule stating that any student shall not be a student in this student's center of learning if it is determined that the student is not a student in this student's center of learning.
Mid - semester examinations are given to students to determine whether or not a student is a student.
Flat Feet no Excuse
Mid-semester examinations are given to the entire class. No student is exempted because he has flat feet, asthma, poor eyesight, missing arms or legs, or even if he is a conscientious objector. The professors are very stringent about class attendance.
The procedure on the day of deaths is something similar to this: Students of learning straggle into the room. Some are light and gay (these are usually the ones that are old and innocent); some drag their
