Snooping Around News and Views from other colleges
Iowa State students will have no Thanksgiving vacation this year. However the Christmas vacation is being lengthened three days in the patriotic move to place the college on a more practical war-time basis.
Thanksgiving day will be given holiday observance and all classes will be canceled. Final examinations will end in the middle of the week on Dec. 16 instead of Dec. 19. The move is also designed to turn loose the vacation traffic in the middle of the week instead of adding it to the crowded conditions that prevail on the week end before Christmas.
Sooners Definitely On Foot
"It will mean a two-week vacation if some jelly bean comes to school with a flashy car and some of the girls who are silly enough to chase him, ride in that car," according to Floyd Wright, chairman of the car committee and professor of law at the University of Oklahoma. Students may hitchhike rides home without violating the regulation. If, however, the student should be turned in when seen in the car leaving Norman, he must be able to prove to the car committee that he had a ride home.
Anything goes if a parent is in the car with the student. The two-week suspension will apply if a student rides with an out-of town visitor who is not a parent.
Scrap Scavanged At Berkeley
Two hundred fraternity men at the University of California spent a hard day recently careening about town in army trucks, confiscating everything from bracelets to neon signs.
The townpeople, who usually protest at fraternity scavenger hunts had nothing but praise for the army of university volunteers who collected more than 500 tons of scrap metal piled on corners throughout the community.

4. Set the age limit at which parental consent is necessary for enlistment at 18. Twenty-one is the present age.
Science, Engineering Essential
Brig. Gen. M. G. White told the committee that the army has already formulated a plan to continue special work for students after their induction into the army. Such a plan would probably be along the lines followed during the first World War, when students became members of the Student Army Training Corps. Medicine, chemistry, and engineering courses are considered most essential by the military forces.
Deferment for students may be on grounds of merit in studies. Maj.Gen Lewis B. Hershey, selective service director, has opposed over-all deferment of college men under the present reserve system, and a compromise may be effected whereby those with highest grades or most promise would be permitted to continue their studies.
Object to Blanket Deferment
Chief objection to blanket deferment of college men has been that it grants privileges to those who could afford to go to college as against many
shortage, 36 students went to work in sugar beet fields last weekend. and many more are expected to lend a hand this week and next.
In five and a half hours Sunday, a six-man team pulled, topped and covered enough beets to make about 5,000 pounds of sugar.
If You Cut Your Work
From 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., Monday through Saturday, week in and week out, there is a small group of men working at Bloomington. One or two of these men are constantly digging into bed rock with air drills. The others are busy destroying the slabs with picks. Occasionally a truck stops outside to carry away the piles of chipped rock.
The workers are Indiana University ROTC students who are making up deficiencies in military credit by helping in the construction of the rifle range for ROTC use in the basement of the University school. Upon its completion, the range will have 14 targets. Until then, it is an hour's labor for an hour's class of military that they cut.

During the first World war, the University was a site of the Student Army Training Corps. Students lived in barracks, wore army uniforms and were governed by military regulations, were paid army rates, but had their work limited to study in the University.
EVANS IS HOPE---tion of the team, Otto Schnellbacher, pass catching wingman. Schnellbacher will probably replace George Dick at the right end position, coach Gwinn Henry said today.
Schnellbacher and Evans are claimants now to the title of the outstanding pass throwing and receiving combinations in the nation, and the statistics of the American Football Statistical bureau provide a good argument for the claims of their backers.
Evans tops the passers of the entire nation in the number of tosses completed, with 48 for four games this season. He also rates second in the yardage gained by passing department with 492 yards. Schnellbacher is tied for the leadership in the number of passes received this fall with 14, and leads in the number of yards gained as a receiver with 210 yards.
The sophomore end's record is made all the more remarkable by the fact that he has yet to start a game. He is expected to be in the lineup tomorrow, however, from the opening gun, and will probably serve again as Evan's favorite target. Schnellbacher caught seven of Evans' passes against Texas Christian, alone.
Center Undecided
The remainder of the Kansas line-up will be the same that has faced the previous four opponents. Center duty will once again be divided between Junius Penny and Bob Githens. Penny will get the starting call if Kansas receives the opening kickoff, while Githens will start if the Jayhawks do the kicking off.
Oklahoma will start the same eleven which has dropped their first three

skirmishes of the season without scoring a touchdown. Featured once again will be the forward wall, one of the toughest lines in the Big Six. The Sooner forward wall averages 199 pounds per man, and is made up entirely of lettermen from last year's Sooner squad.
"The Mystery of Marie Roget"
In the backfield, Coach Dewey "Snorter" Luster is expected to make a shift so that he can use both fullbacks, Huel Hamm and Eddie Davis, in the same backfield, and thus, perhaps, find some of the punch the Sooners have been lacking. Rounding out the starting lineup for the Oklahoma team in the backfield will probably be the veteran Pat Shanks and the ace blocking man, Bill Campbell. Campbell has been one of the shining lights of the Sooner squad this fall.
Sooner Line Strong
The Jayhawkers are expected to pin their scoring hopes principally upon their aerial game, as the big Sooner line last week held the powerful Texas Longhorn running attack well under control, but faltered when the Texans took to the air.

LATEST NEWS
The Sooner backfield last week showed flashes of power, which may bode ill for the Kansas line. Don Fauble, Shanks, Hamm, Bill Mattto, and Boone Baker all broke through the Texas line for occasional gains, but the Longhorn forward wall stiffened when the Sooners approached paydirt, and each time managed to turn them back.
Meet For 40th Time
In reserve power the Sooners will hold a great advantage over the Jayhawks, especially in backfield material where Luster is well supplied. Linquist and Frosty Wilson, standout this week in Kansas practice sessions, will probably carry the burden of the Kansas substitute service.
However, it has been five years since Kansas downed the Sooners. In 1937 the Jayhawks nosed out Oklahoma 6 to 3, and the man largely responsible for that win, Dick Amerine,
will be in the stands in his U. S. Mar-
ines uniform.
