LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1942
40TH YEAR
Eight or ten applications for NYA are needed immediately to fill vacancies this semester, O'Kane said this morning. Many other vacancies in the men's employment bureau could also be filled immediately.
Study Until Called -- Ratner
A bulletin board has been posted outside the bureau, O'Kane said, which contains a list of prospective jobs for students. The list will be kept up-to-date.
Enrollment Figures Show Decrease
NUMBER 3
Enrollment figures released from the offices of Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Laurence C. Woodruff, registrar, at the close of the regular registration showed a decrease of 345.86 per cent from the enrollment last year. The total number of students in the University is 4268 of which 3652 are regularly enrolled. Last year's regular enrollment totaled 3997. Tabulations show that the decrease is practically all in men students while the figures for separate schools show an increase in engineering and in the School of Medicine.
Attendance by schools is as follows:
Graduate, 91; College, 1828; Business,
209; Education, 96; Engineering, 676;
Fine Arts, 251; Law, 22; Medicine (at
Lawrence) 178; Pharmacy, 58.
Information of the attendance at the
medical school at Kansas City is not
yet available.
More Jobs Than Men O'Kane Tells Rotary
At present, there are more than 7 thousand students enrolled in nonresidence courses offered through the various departments of the extension division.
The remainder of the total number of students are not regularly enrolled but are taking specialized war work in the naval school for machinists' mates, in the Civilian Pilots Program and in the signal corps school sponsored by the War Department.
Most serious decline is in the School of Law, which reports an attendance slump from 63 last year to 22 this year. Only the Schools of Engineering and Medicine could report gains, the engineering students increasing in number from 649 to 676, and medical students from 169 to 178. Attendance in the Graduate School declined almost 50 per cent, from 181 to 91. The College, and Schools of Pharmacy, Fine Arts, Business and Education slumped moderately in attendance.
New Student Induction Takes Hill Spotlight
Highlighting the new student induction to be held Tuesday night at 7:30 in Memorial stadium, will be the traditional torch race from the Rock Chalk Cairn. The runners, members of Sachem and Mortar Board, honorary societies for seniors, will deliver the lighted torch to Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, who will pass it down the line of representatives of the various classes to the freshmen's representative, who will light the fire.
Dr. F. E. Melvin of the department of history will relate the story of the "Firebasket" to the new students on North College Hill. As the firebasket ceremony is carried out, they will march to the stadium, where Chancellor Deane W. Malot will administer the oath of allegiance to the in-
Hill To Be Warm
As Winter Hits
(continued to page eight)
Paul M. O'Leary, deputy OPA administrator in charge of rationing, stressed the urgent necessity of converting oil burners to coal wherever this was possible. Those buildings which cannot convert their heating system will be rationed on a percentage basis of last year's use. O'Leary, a graduate of the University in 1922, majored in economics and was a professor of economics at Cornell University for several years.
The University will not be affected by the nation-wide fuel shortage this winter, Mr. C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said today. Since only domestic institutions come under the government plan of conserving fuel, students will have to warm up in class rooms before returning to their homes. Buildings other than those of the University will be kept at 65 degrees as those of most buildings throughout the country.
Jayhawker ★★★ More Pictures; Less Rhetoric
Spencer Burtis, editor of the Jayhawker Magazine, announced today that, unlike last year's Jayhawker, the material contained in this year's magazine will not strictly analyze, but rather draw a panoramic view of the campus and its works and let the public draw their own conclusions from the material presented them.
If the budget allows, the Jayhawker will contain more pictures and less articles. The war will be presented in terms directly related to the University and the students. The first issue will be out Oct. 25 or 26.
Because of the shortage of paper,
all persons wishing to receive a Jayhawker this year should sign up for his subscription before tomorrow,
Wednesday, at 5 p.m. Otherwise,
no subscriptions or single issues can
be obtained.
Military Science Structure Delayed --- Lindley Hall Ready In January
MILITARY SCIENCE BUILDING Architect's Sketch
The new Mineral Industries building will be completed by the latter part of January and will be ready for classes then, J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, said this morning, but W. P. Bell, superintendent in charge of construction on the R.O.T.C. building said that completion date on that structure has
been postponed indefinitely due to a labor shortage.
Eighty-two workmen were formerly employed on the latter building, but since work started on the Sunflower Ordnance Works plant only six have remained. Thre sex will soon be supplemented by 18 men from Topeka, however, Bell said.
The Mineral Industrial building, a $400,000 project, when completed will contain 120 rooms. The base

Warn Students Of Perilous Times Ahead
Stating that is spite of the war "The world is witnessing the greatest educational effort in history," Payne H. Ratner Governor of Kansas, advised students to continue their studies until summoned for duty when he spoke at the all-student convocation yesterday in Hoch auditorium. Stressing the fact that modern war requires skilled men in every branch of the service, Ratner expressed the belief that a student would show greater patriotism by preparing himself for a vital place in the war effort than by leaving school for active duty.
The military motif in the first wartime convocation in 25 years was evidenced by the presence of the 500 sailors training as machinist's mates and their instructors, the ROTC faculty, the flag-draped auditorium, and the speeches by Ratner, W. T. Markham of the Board

New students at the University will see in operation a 35 mm, photo fluoroscopic unit when they report for their x-ray of the chest as a part of the entrance physical examination.
Exams Soon US X-Ray Unit In Watkins
The apparatus to be set up in Room 54 of Watkins Memorial hospital is the property of the United States Public Health service and is loaned to the division of tuberculosis of the State Board of Health for chest surveys in defense areas. Lawrence is now classed as a defense area which makes it possible to use the machine here in place of the regular x-ray in the health service.
At the time of the physical examination, men were given appointments for the x-ray according to the following schedule: Sept. 22, 2-5 p.m.; Sept. 25, 2-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.; Sept. 26, 9-11 a.m. and 1-4 p.m. Women will report Sept. 23 and 24 at 2-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.
The examination takes only a few moments. Reports on the examinations will be available within a few days. Students will be notified if anything of significance shows up on the photo fluoroscopic film or if it needs to be repeated. There is no charge for this examination.
