Out Of Retirement--gan his teaching career at the University in the department of German in the fall following his graduation, became registrar in 1893, a position he held until succeeded in 1899 by George O. Foster, who retired last spring.
Engel Aids In Army Reserve Enlistments
E. F. Engel, retired professor of German, who has been connected with the University as a student and a teacher since 1886, has come back from a year's retirement to assist students planning to enlist in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps.
Coming to the University as a student in 1886, Engel was graduated in 1892. This year he attended the 50th anniversary of his graduation class. He be- $ \textcircled{3} $
In 1010 Engel obtained a year's leave of absence to study at the University of Marburg in Germany, and in 1017 went to the University of Chicago to study for a doctor's degree, but returned to Kansas in mid-year to serve as secretary of the advanced standing committee, a post he held for six years.
Engel, who estimates that he has taught German to some 5,000 students, is the designer of the "laboratory method" of teaching German, a system which stresses the working use of the language instead of textbook work. His work in this field won Engel national recognition, and in 1936 he was chosen as one of a group of nine members of an educational commission sent to Germany by the Oberland Trust of Philadelphia to study German teachings of foreign languages. Engel retired from teaching in June, 1941.
E. F. ENGLE
Today, E. F. Engel, retired, who has helped guide the destinies of University students through 50 years and two wars, has voluntarily returned to aid young men wishing to enlist in the army reserve of a third war.
Tenors and Basses Are Needed to Fill A Cappella Choir
The personnel of the choir will be announced by Dean Swarthout Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
A man-shortage in the University A Cappella choir was announced today by D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts and director of the choir.

Men who are interested should make a special try-out appointment with Dean Swarthout at the School of Fine Arts office and should report to the opening rehearsal of the choir, Monday at 4:30 p.m. in room 131 Frank Strong hall.
No Housing Need
Rooms For All
Despite a threatened housing shortage, all University students have been satisfactorily accommodated, according to statements made yesterday by Henry Werner, adviser to men, and Miss Elizabeth Megular, adviser to women.
Because of the housing problem caused by the great number of defense workers now occupying rooms formerly available to students, many men and women this year applied directly to the offices of Werner and Miss Meigui rather than to the rooming houses. As a result, three or four times as many men found rooms through aid given by Werner's office than last year. All women who did not pledge sororities found room accommodations through Miss Meigui's office.
Both offices still have rooms available. Approximately twenty-five rooms for women, ranging from $10 to $20 a month, are unrented. Miss Muggiari advised that students not yet settled should see her or Werner immediately.

The Keys To Victory Scrap Drive Donations Include Queer Relics
BY VIRGINIA TIEMAN
What! No Phi Beta Kappa?
Only fraternity jewelry is missing in the collection of keys, including everything from those which were needed for old dusty taverns to grandfather clocks, which has been turned in for the University scrap metal drive. Equalling the collection
Only fraternity jewelry is m including everything from the dusty taverns to grandfather c for the University scrap metal carried by a K.U. nightwatchman, the keys represent many years of fumbling in the dark for keyholes and searching through pockets for the right door-opening device!
Keys Come From Dyche
Responding to the call from T. C Ryther, University conservation chairman, to collect old door and padlock keys. University departments have contributed 487 keys weighing seven and a half pounds. Of this total, 417 keys or six and collecting place from Dyche museum alone. When Dyche was re-a half pounds were brought to the modeled, new keys were purchased for the cabinets, and the old keys were tossed aside only to be recovered and contributed to the hunk of junk.
Although the varied pieces are rusty, distorted, and battered by hard use, each possesses character and tells its own story. A small ornamented key in the collection could come only from the carefully guarded volumes of a University woman's series of diaries. Tall Various Stories
Tell Various Stories
Also tossed into the scrap collection is a key with which, no doubt, several generations of children have cut their teeth! Marred and imprinted with tooth marks, the key tells a vivid story of how a husky lunged youngster has been hushed when his parent has given him the key to play with, and how the child has goosed with glee as he chewed away on the unused relie!
Some of the other keys resemble the early handicraft efforts of savages. Standing over a hot flame near some rocky cliff, a jungle war lord has probably hammered the metal into a questionable shape and then has thrown it away not knowing what it was good for!
A large rusty key slightly bent out of shape by being banged against the wall while the unsteady hand of the alcoholic-soaked individual holding it tried to find the lock surely belonged to an aristocratic stone wine cellar. It is the most worn key in the box!
Give Keys For Scrap
Large heavy keys which have securely locked the iron doors in fifteen century dungeons have been added to the collection and will crude replicas made by villains of take their places along with the the age to gain possession of stuffed money boxes.
A flat key with distinction looks
as though it might have been the key to the city handed to "Flash Gordon of the Western Plains" when he went through "Ghost Town" on his non-stop flight.
So leave your wine cellar unlocked,throw aside your diaries,give the key back to the city,and join in the scrap!
