Students Start Signal Corps Engineer Work
Fifty-eight men and eight women reported yesterday to begin work school for signal corps engineers, to be conducted here for the next 24 weeks. The men are being housed in quarters occupied last year by the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, which this fall has moved to a new location, and the women have been assigned rooms in the homes of Lawrence residents.
The school, enrollees in which are classed as under engineer trainees, was approved for the University by the United States signal corps and the Civil Service Commission. It is being sponsored by the signal corps division of Wright field, Dayton, Ohio. Men and women who have been approved for the training, who come from all over the country, are classed as civil service employees at a starting annual salary of $1440.
The courses require 48 hours per week and will be conducted under the direction of the department of physics, of which James D. Stranathan is chairman, and of the department of electrical engineering, headed by V. P. Hessler.
The training is under the general administration of the extension division through the Engineering Science Management War Training program sponsored by the Office of Education. Guy V. Keeler, of the extension division, is regional director of the program, which has given training to more than 20,000 persons engaged in war production in the last 18 months.
William Carter Henry and Paul Gideon Kamen are asked to report at the photographic bureau in the sub-basement for re-takes of their identification pictures.
Professor's Wife Is New Y.W. Secretaru
New to the campus this year is Mrs. Calvin Vander Werf who will take over the duties of Y.W.C.A. secretary.
Mrs. Vander Werf, whose husband is an assistant professor of chemistry, graduated from Ohio State University in 1940 with a major in economics. During her senior year she was president of the Y.W.C.A., and following her graduation she spent two years in Columbus, Ohio, in the business and industrial section of the Y.W.C.A.
The secretarialship will be conducted on a part-time basis, with Mrs. Vander Werf in her office in Henley House from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Faculty March In
The annual ceremony opened with the faculty marching into the auditorium and taking their places on the stage. Then the entire assembly joined in the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner," led by Joseph F Wilkins, professor of voice. This was followed by the Doxology and responsive reading of Psalm 84, conducted by the Rev. Edwin F. Price, dean of the School of Religion.
Russell L. Wiley, director of the University band, led his group in playing "American Tone Poem," by Ernest Williams, followed by the Hymn singing of the traditional Duke Street Hymn.
Praise from Markham
The sentiments of Ratner regarding students and the war were seconded by W. T. Markham, of the Board of Regents. Markham pointed out that 63 of every 100 men in armed duty specialized training such as was available at the university, and praised the part K.U. is playing in the preparation of skilled service men.
LINDLEY HALL---raise about $640,000 a year, of which the University was to receive $200,
000. Still in the planning stage is a wing to be added to the Memorial Union building.
Chancellor Malott wasted few words in warning students of perilous times ahead. Material shortages, rising costs of living, lowering of the draft age, and calling of students enlisted in the army reserve will almost certainly arise in the coming year, Malott said, and the student body must share with the nation in making necessary sacrifices. He then praised students and faculty for their willingness to take part in war work at the University, and stated that any sacrifice would eventually be worth the cost. The convocation closed with the playing of the Alma Mater.

Discussing the University job situation, Harry O'Kane, secretary of the Y.M.C.A., yesterday told the Lawrence Rotary club that the "shoe is on the other foot"—there were more demands for student help than students seeking work.
O'Kane stated that wherever possible students would be placed in work complementing their studies. He also announced that students will be paid at least 35c an hour, a level a little above that of former years.
