Philosophy ★★★ In'Place Of Lunch
The war has brought strange things to the University campus: sailors, reservists, and the Seahawks. To be listed with these is a group of sthdents who are giving up lunch hour to meet at 12:30 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the pursuit of knowledge. These students enrolled in Theory of Knowledge, a class in philosophy that meets by appointment, found this the only hour in the day that was convenient for all.
The class is taught by Prof. E. H Hollands, chairman of the department of philosophy.
Another innovation in the curriculum of the College is the addition of two classes in Plane Geometry, a course never before offered. Owing to the war emergency, freshmen and sophomores are allowed to take this course without credit in order to enable them to take more advanced courses in mathematics. The classes are being taught at 3:30 Monday, Wednesday and Friday by Mrs. Magda Jenson and Miss Robertson in room 111, Marvin hall and room 217, Frank Strong hall.
JAYHAWK ATHLETES---

ketball quintet last year, has enlisted in the marines, and is at present stationed at Quantico, Va. Bob Johnson, another basketball star, is at the St. Mary's Pre-flight Army Training school. Virgil Wiley and Bill Wade, members of the 1940-41 basketball squad, are also air corps cadets.
Charlie Black, junior forward, has
enlisted in the air corps, and is awaiting call to service. Whether the call will come before or after the cage season, he does not know. John Bueseher, basketball quarterback, was called up for selective service physical examination during the summer, but was rejected, and will be back for his senior year of competition this winter.
Dick Edwards and Eldridge King, track stars, are both members of the Jayhawk squadron training at St. Mary's. Edwards was last year's Jayhawk ace middle-distance runner, while King was a high-jumper. Bill Hodge is another track man who is now in the service.
Larry Johnston, baseball outfielder, is the fourth Kansas athlete in the Jayhawk squadron. Other baseball men now in the services are Forrest Hill and Jerald Boynton.
Many other members of last year's athletic squads are at present awaiting the call to a branch of the services. It was pointed out at the athletic office that it is probable that of these men are already in uniform, and that the office has not yet received notice of their calls.

In addition to the stars from last year's squad, who are now in uniform, athletic officials stated that a large number of men from previous years' teams are serving.

Because of the strain on the department facilities, Allen said, it might be necessary to somewhat curtail the intramural program this year. Such curtailment will probably take the form of later hours for contests, and the holding of many of the games on substitute fields other than those formerly utilized.
"Naturally, we want to encourage as much participation in intramur-
"I am certain no student would want a soldier or sailor to leave this Campus improperly prepared for the work ahead of him," he added. Good Spirit Shown
Allen stated that he has been particularly pleased with the spirit shown by men enrolled in the new compulsory program.
"I think I can safely say," he said,
"that they are more eager for the training than were the 400 men who last year took physical education at their own choice. Nobody is trying to dodge the course. They all know it is for their own good."
Allen pointed out that the physical conditioning course will be conducted in the terminology of the army and navy, instead of in the terminology previously employed by the department of physical education.
receive instructions from the recently published book—"Get Tough"—by Major Fairbanks. The book was written to serve as a guide to guerilla fighters in the use of commando tactics on an invading foe. It is currently recognized as the best book of its kind.
"Thus," he added, "the language of the services will be familiar to the men when they don their uniforms, and they will be one long step
ahead of the men who have not received such training."
"The Basic Fail Manual for Physical Education," published by the

The author had had years of experience in such fighting in China, and had also consulted with other authorities in the field before writing the book.
Replogle Assists
Dr. Laurence Morehouse, newest addition to the physical education faculty, has been placed in charge of the swimming tests which are opening the new program. Henry Shenk, director of men's intramurals, has been placed in charge of field and track training. Shenk was formerly track coach at the Junction City High School. Wayne Replogle, freshman football coach, is also assisting in the program.
Physical education majors and varsity men, who have previously shown promise as instructors, have volunteered to serve as instructors in the new program. Allen said. The instructors, or "leaders" as they are termed in the program, meet each week on Thursday evenings to discuss progress of the course.
