U. football star, was one of 49 naval aviation cadets who left Kansas City, Mo., last night for the United States Navy Pre-Flight School at St. Mary's College in California where he will undergo three months of pre-flight training before beginning primary flight training at a Naval Reserve air base.

Red Cross Goes To College Study Mumps, Bed Baths
Those who take the Red Cross home nursing course will no longer be baffled by a thermometer. They will know how to give a bed bath, how to make a bed with the patient in it, and how to improvise back rests out of suitcases. They will also learn about diets for the sick.
"Women today should not consider themselves ready for marriage unless they can take care of the sick in their own homes. They should realize that doctors and nurses will not be available for minor illness. Furthermore, both men and women should be equipped to fight possible wartime epidemics."
"With women doing men's work, men should know something about women's work, especially in wartime when tasks cannot always be delegated to the customary persons," Miss Beard said.
"It is most important that college graduates know their health fundamentals when they go out to do their war jobs," said Miss Mary Beard, director of Red Cross Nursing, discussing the program. "One of the duties of our colleges today is to turn out healthy men and women who will be readily acceptable to the armed forces or who can speed up the production lines in war plants.
Red Cross home nursing classes have been organized on many campuses. Other Red Cross activities being stressed this year include nutrition, first aid, life saving and water safety.
Symptoms of mumps will be studied along with Spanish verbs, and the technique of the bed bath are coming in for a lot of scholarly discussion in many colleges and universities, including K.U., this year. The American Red Cross is embarking on a campaign to make its home nursing course available to everyone of college age. Classes have been organized at the University as part of the regular curriculum. puses. Other Bed C
