Courses InESMWTExtend To Women and New Fields
BY VIRGINIA GUNSOLLY The Engineering-Science-Management-War-Training courses have made tremendous strides since they were first instituted in July. The first of these classes matured in Pittsburg, Kan., on July 7. It was a course in Chemistry of Powder and Explosives.
Wichita, which is the center of one of the largest war industry areas, has sponsored the most classes. Kansas City, Mo., which is rapidly developing into a war industry area and which is also gaining in population, has instituted the second largest number of courses. Other Kansas towns which have classes are Hutchinson, Kansas City, Independence, Ft. Scott, Lawrence, Pittsburg, Wellington, Augusta, Great Bend, Iola, Kingma, McPherson, Neodesha, Newton, Topeka, Winfield Arkansas City, Chanute, Clay Center, Emporia, Eureka, Paola, and St. Joseph, Mo.
From this meager beginning of one class, a large schedule has developed and is still growing. Classes are located in numerous towns and cities in Kansas and Missouri.
The schedule of classes is constantly undergoing a change. The addition of new classes, new towns, the completion of many courses and the withdrawal of others tends to keep the ESMWT courses up to date.

Certificates to 32 At Commencement of War Training Class
The Crystal room of the Hotel Robidou in St. Joseph, Mo., was the scene recently of the graduation banquet of the Engineering - Science - Management - War Training class in industrial safety engineering. Thirty-two graduates of this class were presented their certificates by Guy V. Keeler, director of the ESMWT at the University.
Mr. Keeler spoke briefly on the growth of the ESMWT program in the United States and particularly in this area.
The two addresses of the evening were made by John M. Sandel, field representative for the United States Department of Labor, and P.B. Lawson, dean of the College. Mr. Sandel spoke on "The Safety Engineer and the War." Dean Lawson's topic was, "You and Your Job."
The first all-woman course of the Engineering - Science - Management War Training program is being sponsored by the United States office of education and administered through the extension division of the University. Twenty-five women are enrolled in this course, Analysis of Smokeless Powder. These enrollees are all civil service employees and are receiving $1440 a year.
Army Reservists Eligible For Air Corps Exam
John Hoverth, chief chemist for the ordnance department of the Hercules Powder Plant, is the instructor of the class which meets in Bailey Chemical laboratories. These women are being trained as analysts of smokeless powder, and will become active government employees as soon as the plant is in production. Applicants for enrollment in this course were required to have five hours of chemistry before being eligible.
Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, co-ordinator of military information for students at the University, has received word from the Seventh Corps Service Command at Omaha, that students in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps may take examinations for admission to the Army Air Force. Dr. Woodruff said today that a recruiting officer representing the army air corps would be on the campus late this month.
In the meantime, Dr. Woodruff added, students who are interested in the army air corps might enlist in the Army Enlisted Reserve, and proceed with the examinations for the air corps, in order to insure themselves of consideration by the air command.
Dr. Beatrice M. Lins, of the medical staff at Watkins Memorial hospital, is ill with pneumonia. The hospital reports her condition as good.
Full information on the project may be obtained from Dr. Woodruff in the registrar's office, or from ROTC officers at the University.

This course for women was set up by Capt. W. P. Green, United States' Ordnance department; R. Q. Brewster, chairman of the department of chemistry; and the director of the ESMWT program.
Directory ★★★
Who's Who
Out Tuesday
The new student directory will be out Tuesday. It will be available at the Registrar's office at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Each student and faculty member is entitled to one of these directories.
The cover is to be in the school colors, crimson and blue. The cover itself will be crimson, and the inserts blue. "This color combination has never before been tried on the student directories," said Glenn St. Auyn, student editor of the directory.
Stanley Hansen, Fine Arts sophomore, underwent an operation at Watkins Memorial hospital yesterday morning.
Kreamer Names 24 To Statewide Activity Group
The student directory contains the names of each University student with his classification, address, telephone number, school, and home address. The faculty is listed also with the following information: University position, address, and telephone number. As an additional feature, members of the navy staff are also listed this year. This does not include the navy enlisted men.
Stanley Hansen Undergoes Operation
Twenty-four students have been appointed to the Statewide Activities committee for the coming year it was announced yesterday by John Kreamer, general chairman of the committee.

Emphasis will be laid on the work of the department of correspondence in the activities of the committee this year because of the short vacation periods and the rationing programs. The department of correspondence will do much of the work formerly done by the department of county clubs.
Students in the department of correspondence are: Bill Cavert, Independence; Dick Royer, Abilene; Betsy Dodge, Salina; Dean Sims, Baxter Springs; Bice Chestnut, Beloit; Robert Martindell. Hutchinson; Virginia Griswold, Newton; Joy Miller, Wichita; Bob Coleman, Junction City; Kenneth Cates, Hutchinson; Wendell Link, Emoria; Dorothy Harvey, Meade; Harlan Cope, Greensburg; and Patsy Piller, Gt. Bend. Max Webster, Hutchinson, is chairman of the department.

Lawson, dean of the College; Florence Black associate professor of mathematics; K. W. Davidson, director of information; Fred Elsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association; and Henry Werner, adviser of men.
Schoeppel Is Guest
Governor-elect Andrew Schoeppel and Mrs. Schoeppel were among the guests of the University at the football game yesterday. Other visitors included Lester McCoy, a member of the University Board of Regents, Hubert Brighton, secretary of the Board, Carl Morrow, a member of the University Board of Athletics, P.B. Mitchell, newly elected Attorney-General of Kansas, and Milton Amrine, warden of the state penitentiary at Lansing.
Set Advisory Period For College Students
The regular mid-semester advisory period for College students will be held on Nov. 19, 20, 23, and 24. In preparation for this period, instructors will report to the College office by Nov. 12 all grades of College students which are below C or incomplete.
The college office will prepare, be between Nov. 12 and 19, a list of the students whose grades indicate danger of failing. The grades of these students will be sent home so that the parents, as well as the students, may be fully informed concerning the student's work.
Every freshman and sophomore is expected to see his advisor during the advisory period regardless of the conditions of his grades. This is an opportunity for students to receive counsel and guidance as well as to learn their scholastic situations.
The advisers will suggest desirable changes in the student's program if the student is in serious difficulty. Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, will then see each freshman and sophomore whose grades are low.
Juniors and seniors will receive notice of low grades through the mail as soon as possible after the grades are received at the College office. Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, will advise these upper-classmen.
"The main purpose of this plan," said Dean Lawson, "is to help the student realize that he has low grades and to help him before it is too late."
The freshman and sophomore grades will be given out only through the adviser to the students concerned. Organized houses desiring grades of their underclassmen should have the student concerned obtain them from his adviser. Grades of upperclassmen may, however, be obtained at the College office, providing that the house brings an alphabetical list. The list will be filled out in the order in which the office receives them.
The names of students and their respective advisers, as well as the adviser's office numbers and office hours, are posted on the College bulletin board opposite room 229 in Frank Strong hall.
Meade Returns to Campus
Chief Petty Officer Steven L. Meade, USN, varsity football tac- kle at the University in 1940 and 1941 was back on the campus yesterday.
Meade is rifle and pistol instructor at the naval training station at Great Lakes, Illinois.
On the Hill he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi.
