Candidates for the air crew will be required to pass a screening test, a three hour written mental aptitude examination. Ninety questions out of 150 must be answered correctly. The test is to determine the ability of the student to take instruction; it is a test of his intellect rather than his accumulative knowledge. They must also pass a physical examination.
Candidates for the ground crew must present a college transcript showing credit for two years including one year of college physics. Certain courses toward a college degree will be specified for these candidates.

Laurence Woodruff, registran, is faculty coordinator for the University. Further information may be received from him.
INITIATE RECREATION--gram with tentative dates is as follows: open house mixer in the Memorial Union ballroom from 3:30 to 5 o'clock. June 4, open to all students; box supper, June 12; semi-formal dance, June 19; hayrack ride, June 26; bicycling party and picnic, July 4; sunrise dance and breakfast, July 11; bridge party, July 18.
The committee is also working on the project to secure a reduction on bicycles for all members, who may obtain a bicycle at a reduced price upon showing his membership card to the dealers.
The proposed program is tentative and the committee will welcome suggestions for other activities, which, if the demand is large enough, will be undertaken under the sponsorship of the committee.
Bill Cole and Doris Dunkley are handling publicity on the program. Cole is speaking at the I.S.A. Jay Hop to explain the plan to the independents.
Next fall Greeks and independents will return to their respective social
set-ups. There will be no carry-over to the fall semester of the summer recreation plan, Miss Hull said.

Strong in Lawrence and Prof. W. H. Carruth at San Francisco. Professor Carruth spoke to the Lawrence and New York alumni for three minutes and was then followed by Chancellor Strong who told of the growth of the University.
Musical numbers were given over the wires. The University glee club sang and the three alumni gatherings gave the Rock Chalk yell, and verses of "Crimson and Blue" were heard and sung from coast to coast. Members of the reunion gathering in Lawrence reported hearing the waves of the Pacific as well as the strains of the old K.U. songs.
The telephone conversations were arranged by the New York alumni of the University which was attending its annual banquet. Telephones were installed at each plate.
After this enthusiastic demonstration by the University graduates, the idea of alumni reunions took on popularity. A plan was then adopted to hold alumni gatherings at the state teachers' meetings each year. This has gradually grown until now at large association meetings throughout the country former University students hold alumni banquets and celebrations.
In 1931 ten women who had left school in 1901 and who had kept a chain letter circulating among them since that time added their unusual record to the alumni convention. Thirty years of letter writing was climaxed by attending a University reunion.
In 1927 a small group of three graduates planned to carry the idea of reunion abroad when they made arrangements to meet at Tours, during the summer for the purpose of renewing K.U. experiences.
So across the years graduates have left, but they have ever been returning to bring back the days when they stood on Mt. Oread and gave a cheer for the "Crimson and Blue"

Yes, It's Another Slogan
Jack "Big Stoop" Ballard, college sophomore, who made a giant if glamorous well-padded feminine figure, was called "Miss Ballard" by one of his teachers, and his friends started naming him "Jaquelyn." He was reported to take a belligerently maternal attitude toward the doll which he carried.

The economics professor said the government's immense spending program will help redistribute the wealth and thus furnish a hedge against depression. Re-designing of industry to produce civilian needs, increased by war-time scarcity, can provide jobs for millions now turning their efforts to war production.
Austin, Texas — Economic depression after this war can be avoided, in opinion of Dr. C. E. Ayres, University of Texas economist. Dr. Ayres suggests as America's postwar slogan, "Come on, Depression . . . We Licked Hitler and We Can Lick You."

With an eye for style. Marvin Sollenberger, junior engineer, looked less ill at ease in his coed attire than most of the burly K-men.
George Dick, education junior, Jayhawk end who looked good in varsity football at the end of the season, costumed as directed today in spite of the fact that he is on crutches, because of a leg injury. He was the only one of the K-"ladies" on crutches.
Prettiest of the Amazons was Dean Martin, senior engineer. He was so well costumed, figure-disguised, and made-up—lipstick and all—that Mrs. Webster did not recognize him when he came into the athletic office this morning.
Carrying a dog doll, Bob Johnson, senior from Ka:sas City, was embarrassed this morning when he was addressed in Spanish class as "Senorita or senora, which is it?"
The men who were in costume today, according to the list held by Mrs. Webster in the athletic office, were Harlan Altman, Joe Crawford, Warren Hodges, Jack Tenenbaum; Jack Ballard, Don Blair, George Dick, Ray Evans, Bob Fitzpatrick, Bob Johnson, Max Kissel, Dick Miller, Marvin Sollenberger, Warren Israel, Paul Turner, Larry Johnston, Delmar Green, John Krum, Dean Martin, Bob Trump, Bob Bond, Duane Smith, Francis Domingo, and Norman Sammane.
Among the most uncomfortable of the initiates was Ray Evans, sophomore, who took to his girlish garb like a kangaroo to ping pong.
Disgusted with his feminine apparel almost before he put it on, Joe Crawford, sophomore from Kansas City, secretly took off his girl's disguise and dressed as a typical campus male immediately after checking in at the athletic office.
The day of costuming constitutes initiation for the K-men. There is no initiation ceremony. The old and new members of K-Club will hold a picnic Saturday afternoon.

Hoch to House Magic
The human voice, light, the approach of a body, or humidity can control electric current as well as the familiar switch, and demonstrations of these less usual methods of control provide some of the most startling effects in the General Electric "House of magic" which will*
The human voice, light, th. can control electric current as demonstrations of these less us some of the most startling e "House of magic" which will be presented in Hoch auditorium next Tuesday evening.
The control of electric current by sound is demonstrated with a miniature electric train. Apparently endowed with the ability to understand a spoken command, a small lecomotive obeys orders to "Stop," "Go Ahead," and "Back up." But this unusual method of dispatching a train is less complicated than it seems at first. It is explained that the number of sounds and their timing when spoken into a microphone provide the electrical impulses which control the actions of the train.
Humidity control is demonstrated with a light which can be turned on by blowing a moist breath or turned off by blowing a dry breath, making it possible to "blow out" an electric lamp just as a candle flame is blown out.
Capacity control, or the control of current by the approach of a body, is another method which creates seemingly mysterious effects. A "kidnap detector" is used to demonstrate this method. Whenever a body approaches the "baby," a bell rings and so it is impossible to steal the baby without setting off an alarm.
With the aid of the electric eye, a variety of novel demonstrations are given to show how light can control electric current. An electric lamp is turned on by striking a match. An electric eye attached to a loudspeaker makes it possible to "hear" light, and changes in light are heard as changes in sound. In combination with a special lamp, music is sent across the room on a beam of light and heard at the opposite side of the room. This experiment of carrying the human voice or music on a beam of light has been performed in Schenectady for a distance of more than 25

miles, and also from an airship to the earth and from a moving train to a station platform.
The control of electric current by light through the use of the phototube or electric eye is gaining an increasingly wide use to perform all kinds of functions. Examples are the automatic turning on of airfield lights as darkness approaches, controlling the operation of printing presses, opening doors, and many others.
Admission, which is free, is by tickets which may be secured at the University business office in Frank Strong hall.
Bankers' Scholarship To Business School
