Scrap Metal Needs Treatment ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Trip to Battle Is Long
Next time you are out riding around, head your car down East Ninth street and see the procedure Persephone is going to have to go through before becoming a part of some shell headed for Hirohito and his yellow-skinned crew.
At the end of the street is the home of the Auto Wrecking and Junk Company where the scrap metal from the city and campus scrap drive is put into box cars for shipment to mills where it will be converted to war use.
At one end of the block-long yard, truckload after truckload of non-descript metal is dumped on the grounds where men struggle to sort their way out of the huge piles of scrap. Various Metals Separated
Here the scrap is separated into mountains of cast iron, steel, brass, alumninum, copper, and tin.
When a box car arrives to take the metal to one of the eastern mills, the metal isn't just dumped into the car and started rolling. First, the scrap must be cut up so that it can be easily handled at the mills.
The larger chunks of scrap have to be cut apart with a blow torch. Persephone, washing machines, tractors, and the cannon donated from the Lawrence park will be among those receiving the blow torch treatment.
For smaller, less bulky pieces of scrap—bed steads, bedsprings, wagon wheels, pipes, and chains, a machine resembling a nut cracker and a pair of nail clippers is used. This chopper cuts two-inch iron rods with as much ease as a person bites thru a slice of bread.
Community Doing Part
Then, and only then, is the junk ready for shipment. Community Doing Part
The co-managers of the company, Morris Cohen and J. W. Cohen, are well-convinced that Lawrence and the surrounding county means business in collecting scrap.
This month's quota of 500 tons which must be shipped to the mills will probably be passed before many days, they said. Already, with only half the month gone, more than 300 tons of potential guns and ships have been loaded in box cars and started for the mills.
The "Old Oaken Bucket" for which Dickenson and Bettysburg colleges vie on the football field is in relarity a mahogany bucket, and only a few years old.
Strait To Be New Phys Ed Instructor
Reginald R. Strait has been hired as physical education instructor to replace Dr. L. E. Morehouse, who has resigned to accept a commission in the navy.
Strait was released from the Chanute school system where he was director of physical education in the city schools and a teacher in the junior college.
Receiving a B.S. degree from Ottawa University in 1927, Strait has taken additional work at Iowa University, where he earned his MA degree and began work toward a Ph.D.
Strait has coached athletics at a number of towns in Kansas during the past few years.

Naval Reserves May Form Club
"Learn everything you can now; you may not have time later." Lt. Comm. Lyle O. Armel advised University students who met in the Memorial Union building last night at the first official meeting of those enrolled in the navy enlisted reserve.
Armel's speech hit the keynote for the meeting which was called to bring naval reserve students together. Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law presided at the meeting.
Following speeches by Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Lt. Wilson Crosby of the Kansas City, Mo., Naval Aviation Selection board, Lt. Arthur H Buhl, commander of the Machinist's Mates School here, and Lieutenant Commander Armel, the potential naval officers decided to meet again Oct. 28.
A suggestion made by the Chancellor that those in the naval reserve form some sort of organization was left open until the next meeting.
ISA Plans Varsity For Saturday Night
Although only 150 students are listed in the University's offices as being enrolled in the V programs, many students not in the naval reserve attended. It was decided that any students who have already received commissions in the navy be asked to attend the meetings.
The ISA fall varsity will be from 9:30 p.m. to 12:00 Saturday evening in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. Danny Bachmann and his band will furnish the music. Admittance to the dance is limited to membership in the organization. Individuals, however, may purchase their membership cards for the year at the door.

The Purple Pepsters, women's peg organization at Kansas State College, have invited the Jay Janes to have lunch with them October 24, the date of the K-State-K.U. football game. The invitation has been accepted and the Jay Janes met yesterday to make arrangements for transportation to Manhattan.
Following the business meeting of the group yesterday, the pledges were given a quiz over various University songs. Plans were also made for the Night Shirt Parade, in which the Jay Janes will take part.

Cyclones Prepare For Game With Drake U. Bulldogs
Ames, Iowa, Oct. 15—Somewhat heartened by the splendid showing of hitherto untried reserves, the Iowa State football squad has settled down to preparing for the forty-second renewal of its rivalry with Drake. The two teams meet at Ames Saturday.
Despite the disappointing showing of several members of the starting eleven, Iowa State College fans could still pick up some bright spots from last week's 34 to 12 loss to Marquette.
Lieut. and Mrs. William A. Rider arrived in Lawrence today to spend two days with Dean and Mrs. D. M. Swarthout at their home. For the past four months Lieut. Rider has been stationed at Ft. Warren, Cheyenne, Wyo. but is being transferred to Camp Breckinridge, Ky.
Ellis Alexander, and Vie Weber gave Paul Darling plenty of chance to rest against Marquette by turning in fine performances at fullback.
