Students Begin Drive For Scrap Iron
Students CVC and KuKu's Lead Campaign To Aid Nation
Beginning tomorrow, University students, led by the Co-ed Volunteer Corps and assisted by the KuKu Club, will search the campus for tacks, nails, light bulbs, iron fences, to aid in the nation-wide scrap tin cans, and other scrap iron drive now being conducted.
The CVC will work through platoon sergeants who met Wednesday to outline the program. Each platoon leader will have a squad and each squad will collect all the iron they can find in houses and on the campus. Dean Gates, president of the KuKu Club, is planning a similar pattern for the men.
The drive, which will continue for one week, is in cooperation with Dolph Simons, chairman of the state drive, who accepted a challenge from Douglas county, Neb., for a three week scrap metal contest with Douglas county, Kan.
"Christmas cheer for the boys not here," a slogan telling the purpose of the drive, will be plastered over the campus. The money received from the scrap is to be used for Christmas gifts for Kansas men in the armed forces.
Any scrap that can be carried will be piled on the "Christmas cheer for the boys not here" pile in front of Fowler shops. Loads that cannot be carried will be picked up in trucks at the end of the seven day drive. Persons knowing of such loads should notify Major Jill Peck, commanding officer of CVC or Dean Gates, Miss Peck said today. Kansas has a quota of 200,000 pounds to turn in by Jan. 1.
An officers' meeting of CVC is scheduled for 9 p.m. Tuesday and an induction of new members will take place immediately following the drive.
WEAK PUNTING--inches tall and nearly all will be at least 6 feet.
(continued from page four) cap the team. One or two of the candidates on the squad will be 6 feet 3
Menze will have only six men with any previous squad experience, so he must rely-heavily upon sophomores. Rollin Kuebler and Rueben Mickelson are the only men who saw much action last year. The third major letterman is George Harville, now out for football. Bob Hayes, forward, won a minor letter. Gordon Bell and Fred Clausen were squad members.
The squad of 24 candidates will be cut to about 16.
Hill Employment Offices Make Call for Waiters
A special plea was made today for waiters by the National Youth Administration and the men's employment office. The campus employment situation remains about the same with the two organizations in desperate need of students to take the numerous unfilled jobs. Anyone interested in getting a job will be welcome at the NYA and mens' employment office in the basement of Frank Strong Hall.

Sailors Dig Deep For Navy Relief
A one hundred per cent participation was the response of the University's Naval Training school for machinists' mates in the annual drive for contributions to the Navy Relief society. The drive, one of a number of such drives carried on by various naval activities in the nation, was conducted by the officers of the station and was terminated this week. Funds are used to alleviate financial distress of families of navy, marine, and coast guard personnel.
The Navy Relief Society was organized "by the navy, within the navy, to look after the navy's own" forty years ago and with the exception of the recently successful civilian drive for funds to assist navy families during the present emergency, it has depended entirely upon navy personnel for support. An unofficial organization, it gives financial aid in emergencies to families of enlisted men and officers, including marine corps and coast guard.
Summerfield Scholars will have their annual picnic Sunday, Mrs. Flora S. Boynton of the Endowment Association office, announced today. Mr. and Mrs. Irving Hill will be hosts to the scholarship group at their home near the outskirts of
