Letters to the Editor
EDITOR'S NOTE: The University Daily Kansan welcomes letters from readers. These letters should not be more than 200 words in length, and must be signed with the name of the contributor. The editor reserves the right to edit all letters to conform to style requirements.
I wish to express my appreciation to the University Daily Kansan for the opportunity to thank its readers for the numerous invitations from University organizations and individuals extended to the men under training at the machinists' mates school.
Due to the strenuous program of training having been undertaken by the trainees of this school, it is believed that any absence from their station during week days would tend to jeopardize their chances of advancement to the rating for which they are studying.
Assurance is given that the only reason for not granting permission for the men under this command to accept the many splendid invitations is that the exigencies of the service do not permit leave to be granted except on Saturday and Sunday.
Flyin' High
Hill Women
On Air Jaunts
Just in case the routine of college becomes monotonous, Miss Ruth Oreault, associate professor of piano, and Doris Sheppard, college sophomore from Larned, can "get away from it all" by a spin above the clouds—no bulletin boards to remind them of classes and meetings; no shrill whistle to blast into their dreamiest meditations; no danger of little green tickets for over-parking.
Last week the two traveled the airways of several states in a flight across Kansas and Missouri to St. Louis and from there into Illinois and back to Lawrence.
Thus far, the trips have been taken in a plane owned jointly by Miss Oreutt and a partner in Wichita. Miss Sheppard plans to have her plane brought from Larned when Miss Oreutt's plane is taken to Wichita next week.
Miss Sheppard received her basic and flight training in Larned, starting when she was a senior in the high school there. Miss Orcutt received her training in Lawrence. Both women have been active members of the Civil Air Patrol since it began here last year. CAP is a local branch of the Civilian Defense program.
Miss Sheppard and Miss Orcutt are limited by their college work in the amount of time they are able spend in the air, but in the future they hope to devote as much of their time as possible to flying.

Saturday Art Classes Start For Lawrence Children
Saturday morning art classes started yesterday for Lawrence school children. Miss Maud Ellsworth, instructor in the education department, announced. The teacher will be Dorothy McGinnis, a senior in art education at the University.
Classes in clay modeling as well as museum art classes, will be held from 10 to 12 a.m. every Saturday. The classes are under the supervision of the art education department of the city schools with the co-operation of museum curators.
Sailors Help In Harvest Fields
Sixty-eight men from the U S Naval Training School for machinists mates were on farms yesterday picking pears, pitching hay, and husking corn. A few farmers came to the station for helpers Friday night but the majority left Saturday morning.
Realizing the serious need for farm help, the trainees asked their superior officers for permission to go to the farmers' aid and the permission was granted for each weekend from Friday evening to 9 p.m. Sunday until the harvest season is over.
A group was taken to Ottawa and the rest are helping within a twelve-mile radius of Lawrence.
Raymond Stuhl Goes To Army Air Force Base in New Mexico
Raymond Stuhl, cello instructor in the School of Fine Arts, left yesterday for Las Vegas, N. M., to enlist in the Army Air Force. He will be cellist in a musical unit of the air force.
D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, said that arrangements were being made to abtain a faculty member to replace Mr. Stubl as instructor in cello, string ensemble work and sight singing.
The new member will also serve as cellist in the University string quartet a position occupied by Mr Stuhl for the past nine years.
Swarthout added that the string quartet would continue appearing in programs throughout the year, and that it would take the concert tour through Texas this December as scheduled.
Mrs. Stuhl will remain in Lawrence according to present plans.
Dramatic Students at Wayne University have cooperated in the development of plays on war themes for community audiences.
Clark Gable and Lana Turner Are Together Again at the Jayhawker
Clark Gable and Lana Turner, after their smosh success in "Honky Tonk," are together again in M-G-M's "Somewhere I'll Find You," an exciting story of war correspondents in the Far East. "Somewhere I'll Find You" opens a 5 day engagement today at the Jayhawker.
The Independent Student Association will sponsor an hour dance Tuesday night, Oct. 20, in Robinson gymnasium. Although the ISA is sponsoring the affair, it is an all-student party.
Admission will be twenty-five cents a person, with all the proceeds going to buy U. S. war bonds. The war bonds will then go into an ISA scholarship fund to be used to the advantage of undergraduate students who go into the armed forces and then return to continue their education here after the war.
SNOW COLLECTION---species, both male and female, and it is to these cards that men in the entomology department refer to classify their insects. If a new species is found, the person who collected it names it according to certain standards set up by the entomology society and then the description and name of the new species is published in some scientific magazine. As soon as the specimen is definitely determined and classified it is published in the official Zoo Record where all new specimens are recorded by name. Hereafter that specimen is known by the name and description it carries in Zoo Record.
(continued from page six)
H. Beamer, assistant curator of the collection and Professor H. B. Hungerford, head of the entomology department, the Snow collection is growing at the rate of approximately 50,000 specimens annually.
10.000 Mile Collecting Trip
In the summer of 1942 Dr. Beamer, Mrs. Beamer, and three students of entomology made a 10,000 mile collecting trip into the southwestern part of the United States and after ten weeks work brought back thousands of new specimens to be added to the collection. A new species of the locus (cicada) was caught in Arizona, a new species of the black kabupper was found in Flagstaff, near the desert regions of Arizona. Because the collection is growing so fast and because of the difficulty of getting specimens classified at present, it will be several years before this new species of fly is named and correctly classified.

Today thousands of new and unclassified specimens are waiting in the laboratories of Snow hall to be grouped and then sent to specialists for classification. Facilities are somewhat overtaxed at present but the men working on the collection have a genuine interest in their work, as did Dr. Snow before them, and under these men the collection is growing daily in size and importance to the agricultural and horticultural interests of the state and the entire country.
