In Engine School
2-Year Course
Dean J. J. Jakosky of the School of Engineering and Architecture announced today that the school will offer a two year course in the training of skilled craftsmen. The faculty and the board of Regents have approved.
Many students, because of financial and military reasons have requested a program that will enable them to gain a certificate of industrial technology in two years. This training is primarily to fit men for positions as foreman, technical supervisors, unit supervisors, draftsmen, and machinists.
The two year course is no more difficult than the 4- and 5-year course that is in effect now. It is merely an abridged course stressing shop and machinery work.
The entrance requirements are the same and the fees have not been changed.
Those who complete the 2-year course may continue to their 4-year course and receive a degree without repeating any work previously completed.
So many students have sought copies of the four-color print of Fraser hall which recently appeared on the Summer Session poster, that a limited number of copies have been placed on sale at the Alumni Office and the Kansan business office. The print is 8 by 10 inches, and sells at 15 cents.-Adv.

Pearl Harbor, but may be reopened soon.
V-5 is known to men in the service as the "gilt edge" opportunity. And one doesn't even have to be a superman to get in. But he does have to be between the ages of 19 and 26, and in good physical condition. If he hasn't finished his required two years of college he may enlist now and continue school until he has finished the two years. When he receives his wings and commission, he will also begin receiving his $245 a month, which isn't hard to take. And, his transportation will be paid to the nearest selection board. Don't all leave school at once!
Co-Ed Becomes More Serious Than Mom
V-6 classification covers nearly all of the Navy's 55 petty officer specialist ratings. If you are familiar with the practical idiosyncracies of the common garden variety typewriter, and can decipher as well as take shorthand, then you are the Navy's dream of the perfect yeoman. Opportunities in this classification are varied and wide, but there is a place for almost anyone who has a hobby with any practical value.
Athens, Ga. — (UP) — The co-ed of today is more serious than her prototype of a generation ago.
At least that's the conclusion reached by Dr. Joseph B. Gittler, associate professor of sociology at the University of Georgia, in his forthcoming book "From Pinafore to Martarboard."
According to Dr. Gittler, the college co-ed has passed through three different stages. First she was the prim and tailored champion of emancipation and suffrage. Then with the roaring twenties she was a short-skirted lass with a flask in her pocket book and no objection to "petting."
But the college girl of today has world problems, psychology, science, journalism, and "getting a job" on her mind.
Dr. Gittler said that today's co-ed wears "a definite Monday-to-Friday attire which stamps her immediately." According to the sociologist you can set a girl off as a co-ed if she's wearing dirty white saddle oxfords, socks, sloppy sweaters with sleeves pushed up to the elbows, and a single strand of pearls.
The far-famed V-7 is for junior, senior, or graduate students between the ages of 20 and 27 inclusive. That is the best way to insure completion of your college education, at the same time doing essential work for the government.
There are infinite details, but they will be cleared up by a short conversation with Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar, and campus authority on things naval and military.

If you're at bat you haven't a thing to worry about. They may get two strikes on you and there may be all the bases loaded but they can't fan you!
WHY?---
Because you let us send her flowers! (Dumb, isn't it?) The first strike was when you went out with "the boys" instead of her, the second was when you forgot the coke date — but they can't fan you out because flowers are "all out for your defense" and you made them work for you.
