Snooping Around News and Views from other colleges
All men students at the University of Nebraska will be given an opportunity to take a two weeks leave of absence to help plug a labor shortage on defense projects and upon farms in the near future, according to University officials.
As the set-up now stands, those interested will contact Dean T. J. Thompson's office and a check-up will be made to see if dropping out of school for the two-week period would jeopardize the students' academic chances for the year.
Another War Casualty
Because of a shortage of male voices and the uncertainty of the times, the Bethany Choir and its director, Dr. Haebard Brase, decided to dissolve the organization for the duration of the war.
The Bethany Choir has an enviable record in its seven years' existence, being runner-up in 1938 in the Columbia Chorus Quest of the Columbia Broadcasting System. The choir has given one hundred five concerts, broadcasts, and small programs, and has sung over Columbia, Mutual, and local hook-ups.
Women Plan Chorus
Women at the University of Oklahoma will try out for the two singing parts and the twelve parts for women in the chorus of the Pulitzer prize winner, "Of Thee I Sing," to be given early in November.
The musical is the Will Rogers field production. The cast will be made up of many professionals and is directed by Elisha Cook, Jr., young actor of Broadway and Hollywood now in the army at Will Rogers field.
An Octogenarian Goes to War
Iowa State's famous 87-year-old locomotive is being offered as scrap to the nation's war savage drive. The locomotive has been on the Cyclone campus for 37 years.
This campus landmark was a narrow gauge locomotive that gained her right to fame in 1855 when she was ferried across the Mississippi River to be the second locomotive to enter Iowa. When the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad widened its guage, the locomotive worked with the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad.
If the locomotive proves worthy of salvage, Iowa State will lose a famous relic which has been cherished since 1905 as a familiar landmark on the campus.
Another Contribution to Scrap
Another Contribution to Scrap A streetcar and an automobile belonging to John Geduldig, student at the University of Minnesota, had an argument Monday and he automobile came out second best.
Gedudiq felt that the car would never run again, or at least would run better as a tank of a B-17, so he turned it in to his fraternity, Kappa Sigma, for the University scrap drive.
The War Production Board has gone on a work schedule of eight hours a day. six days a week for the duration.

Pledging services will be Tuesday evening in the gymnasium before the regular meeting of the week begins.
SCRAP IRON--cent a pound the scrap iron will bring Scrap metal is desperately needed by American foundries and the national drive was begun, giving Kansas a quota of 200,000 pounds by Jan. 1, most of which must be collected before the first snow. Dolph Simons, chairman of the state drive, asked the students through the CVC to cooperate and do their part to help win the war. "Lack of scrap metal is the most critical situation in the war program," he said.

MUSIC MAKERS--positions. Bob Githens will once again be the starting center, Henry has indicated, replacing sophomore Junius Penney. Crawford and Long will be back at the guard posts, Hardman and Dick will be at the end positions, and Hodges will handle the other tackle slot.
The drummer for Bachmann is a full-blown Comanche Indian, and seems to have the love of drums as a natural heritage. Phil Cato, a senior in high school, is also a ballad singer for Bachmann. Don Price handles the drums for Pope. Price played with Skipper Hawkins in
On the brass for Bachmann are Charlie Kassinger, college sophomore, and Harry Johnson, and Don Holman, both college juniors. The piano men of both bands also act as arrangers. Warren Durrett, with Pope, is featured on the piano. Durrett was formerly with Buddy Fisher and toured the East with him. He is polished both at arranging and playing. Melvin Zack, college senior, arranges for Bachmann. Zach has written an original number entitled, "Hey, Hitler," which is another anti-axis jive.

Wichita and Dick Tippin in Lawrence.

UNDERDOG JAYHAWKS--positions. Bob Githens will once again be the starting center, Henry has indicated, replacing sophomore Junius Penney. Crawford and Long will be back at the guard posts, Hardman and Dick will be at the end positions, and Hodges will handle the other tackle slot.
Meyer is expected to alternate two backfields, both built around great quarterbacks. On one squad Emery Nix, sensation of the Frog squo so far this year, will call the signals, while on the other Dean Bagley, 150-pound scatback, will operate at the tailback post. Other backfield aces of the Frogs include Montgomery, Bond, Hall, Don Ezell, McCollom, and Rogers.
Coach Henry has indicated that only one sophomore will get the starting nod for the Crimson and Blue. Carl Hird is expected to be sufficiently recovered from a recent injury to occupy a tackle berth. Githus Will Start
Veterans will occupy the other ten
The starting Jayhawk backfield will consist of the same eleven which began the Denver game, Henry said. The quartet consists of Altman, Linquist, Evans, and Sherwood.
Scheduled to see plenty of action in the backfield tomorrow, however, is a newcomer—Frosty Wilson. The sophomore has plenty of spirit, and has been looking very good in recent scrimmage sessions. Other backs who may get into the game are Hoyt Baker one of the best of the sophomore crop, and Kenneth Adams, a good pass receiver.
Penney, Don Johnson, Lewis Musick, Paul Turner, Otto Schnellbacher and Charlie Black are expected to see action on the line.
Substitutes Scrimmage
Coach Henry has spent the better part of this week attempting to develop capable reserves for his regulars with heavy scrimmage sessions for the substitutes. The manpower situation on the Jayhawk grid team is the most serious he had ever encountered, the coach says.
The Jayhawk mentor has warned his charges of the offensive power of their opposition. He pointed out that not only has Meyer's outfit got its usual smooth passing game, but has also developed a high-geared running attack that has been rolling over opposing squads this fall. Emery Nix in particular has been effective carrying the piskik.
TCU this fall holds a 7 to 6 triumph over UCLA at Los Angeles, and a 13 to 6 win over Arkansas.
Coach Meyer has repeatedly declared that his squad has not yet lived up fully to its possibilities and is hoping his team will "really get to rolling" tomorrow.
Football fans attending the game expect to witness an aerial battle, however, as Henry attempts to match the Frog's Bagley and Nix with his own Ray Evans. Evans at present is the leading passer in the nation. Sophomore Baker might also do some hurling for the Kansas squad.
The team left for Ft. Worth this morning at 8:48 o'clock, and will arrive there at 10:25 this evening. The return trip will be made Sunday.
An Aerial Battle
This year's game marks the first meeting of the two teams. They are scheduled to clash again next fall, this time at Lawrence.
Men making the trip in addition to the coaching staff were Kenneth Adams, Harlan Altman, Hoyt Baker, Joe Crawford, George Diek, Ray Evans, Boh Githens, Paul Hardman, Carl Hird, Warren Hodges, Grant Hunter, Don Johnson, Lin Einquist.
Gene Long, Lewis Musick, Bernard Passman, Junius Penney, Gene Roberts, Joe Roberts, Otto Schnellbacher, Walt Sheridan, Gene Sherwood, Lloyd Svoboda, Paul Turner, Charlie Black, and Frosty Wilson.
