PAGE SEVEN
NOW THEY TELL US (continued from page one)
University has regularly been receiving queries from the army and navy as to how the school is hurrying up education. Registrar Laurence Woodruff recently attended a meeting in Washington at which army and navy officials flatly said college men, even professors, are to be drafted when needed and insisted upon a speed up in the educational system.
Governmental attitude makes it fairly certain that there is a sound reason for hastening graduation at the expense of vacation. It is possible that this is only the first step in putting the University on a complete wartime footing. The exclusion of many non-essential classes and the requiring of students to take chemistry, physics, mathematics, and other subjects relevant to the war is more than just a remote idea.
There can be little doubt that every University student wants to do and will do the utmost to aid America's war effort. Under the circumstances of the school's abbreviated vacation schedule, however, most of them feel that they are the victims of too little and too late—too little planning and too late action.
"Life of a Soldier . . .
Jacobson Writes Home
Is No Bed of Roses
Life of a soldier is both amusing and serious, Arvid Jacobson, former instructor in the department of design, writes from the signal corps at Camp Crowder, Mo.
Experience in handling sinks in the department of design has aided him in attending to such details when on K.P. duty. Lately, he has escaped culin- ary penalties, but he didn't say how.
In addition to regimental routine. Jacobson is to paint a mural for the recreation room at Camp Crawder. After checking out paints, brushes, pencils, and other painters tools, he is wondering when he is to find time to use them. The subject for the murals are to be done in a humorous style, using such scenes as "washing out 'lingerie', peeling suds. mail call, marching in the rain, hauling gravel, and all the extra things that we do besides learning how to be a soldier."
He describes the gig list as though he has learned his information from actual experience, but he did not admit that he had been gigged. The list is composed of the names of men who have poorly-made beds, lockers out of order, or shoes unshined. When the soldiers are gigged, they are given a few additional jobs such as "cleaning ditches, and hauling material and stuff," Jake explained.

Texas To Bataan
Here is a new item of real importance to all theatre goers. The Patee Theatre in Lawrence is reopening Friday, October 9th at new low bargain prices. All shows will be 15c plus tax, biddles always 10c plus tax. There will be three bargain shows weekly: Sunday, Tuesday and Friday with a single feature and short units on Sunday-Monday, Friday-Saturday. A two feature program will be presented every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Shows will be continuous from 1.30 on Saturday and Sunday. All other shows will be at 2, 7, and 9. The Patee will feature 1st run pictures. The opening picture this Friday will be the Range Riders in TEXAS TO BATAAN, and comes to the Patee as a pre-release with a first showing in Kansas. The re-opening of the Patee should be welcome news to everyone.
During training for protection against air attack, the men were given the signal to "scatter." Jake flopped to the ground; his glasses shattered.
After a week of flopping and jumping across streams, the soldiers can go to the showers for 15 cents. The entertainment the men receive is varied. When Benny Goodman was in camp, Private Jacobson was selected from 40 men of company B to hear the orchestra leader, who after the program, invited soldiers to come up for a jam session. Occasionally the camp uses some o its local talent to give a minstre show.
Jacobson signed the letter "Private Jake," although he does not understand why he is so called. He says he has not had any privacy since he left Lawrence.

You may study lots Or you may study none, But you still don't get Any Christmas vacation. Amen.
The A. K. Psi pledge class held its first meeting Tuesday night, mainly to discuss the walk-out. Rather than waste time, they decided to hold it immediately.
So they walked out.
The actives, upon discovery of their absence, locked the house—doors, windows, etc.
When the fresh returned in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, they found that they were either going to have to sleep in the street or do something like climbing down the chimney.
So they chose to climb up the house and try the windows.
Like a swarm of monkeys, the pledges went up the house, trying windows. Some of which were open.
One pledge climbed up to a window which was locked, so wanting in badly, he smashed it. An active, hiding near it, nearly lost a finger from the flying glass.
The sight of blood from the slashed finger quelled the small riot and the actives marched the pledges off to the woodshed.

Kappa pledges Nancy Robertson, Marilyn McEwen, and Virginia Gunolly are roommates.
A couple of days ago, Nancy fell out of her second story bunk, smashing a pile of phonograph records and bruising herself considerably.
The following day, Marilyn fell down a flight of stairs, suffering the same inflections—minus the phonograph records.
At present, the third member of the jinxed room has a premonition that she is soon to break a leg.
(Anyone making a future engagement with Miss Gunsolly will run the chance of taking her out with a broken leg.)
