University women are going all-out for war. Pictured above is a class in mechanical drawing being offered to second semester senior women. The class was organized at the suggestion of the federal government, concerned over the shortage of professional draftsmen for industry, to train women to take the places of men in war production. At left are Hampton White, and Horace Lamberton, instructors. In
the white sweater is Miss Doris Twente, college senior, president of the Women's Self Governing Association.
Fifty-three women between the ages of 19 and 67 years have enrolled in the beginning course in engineering drawing and blue print reading held in Marvin hall.
Sponsored by the United States office of education and directed by
the University extension division. the new class is open to townswomen as well as University students.
The class, which offers skilled instruction in mechanical drawing, printing, and blueprint readings meets two hours a week. One section meets on Monday and Wednesday and the other on Tuesday and Thursday. Each class has had three meetings.
Class of '17
Won't Lose Spirit
The class of 1942 won't be the only war-time graduating class on the Hill during commencement week this year. The graduating seniors will have an opportunity to learn from some veterans of a quarter of a century, the University class of 1917, how it feels to enter a wartorn world.
Holds Silver Anniversary
with the new crop of Hill graduates. Brownell's letter to his classmates opens with two significant paragaphs:
"We are limited on sugar; our next suit may not have a vest; it's a question whether we can buy a new plow to make a garden. But we can have a class reunion!
Oscar Brownell of Lawrence, committee chairman of the 1917 class, has issued a call to the class of 25 years age to celebrate its silver anniversary here on Mount Oread under a new set of war clouds, along
"The good old K. U. class of '17 was graduated under the cloud of war. If any class has to hit on a war-time for its silver anniversary we can take it better than the others. We're used to it..."
Glee Club To Record For Competition
Keith Davis, representative for Fred Waring's Pleasure Time national glee club contest, and graduate of K. U. in 1938, will arrive in Lawrence Saturday morning to aid the Men's Glee Club in cutting recordings at radio station KMBC in Kansas City Saturday afternoon.
The records will be sent to Fred Waring to be judged in the Waring-sponsored national glee club contest. The winners of each district will travel to NewYork City where they will be guests on Waring's regular network program, over which they will sing for the determination of the national winner.
Davis graduated from the University with a bachelor of music degree in voice. He was featured tenor soloist in the University Glee Club. After graduation his musical career included leads in musical comedy roles, radio experience over action WREN, membership in
Tony Pastor's quartet and the quartet of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church.
Davis sang for two years in the Aquacade glee club at the New York World's Fair. He joined the Waring organization a year ago, and with his former experience and the concentrated training that he received from the "maestro" himself, he is ideally suited for his mission here.
John Parker, owner-manager of Wiedemann's grill, who will leave for the Army next Wednesday, has disclosed that he will keep his dine and dance place open during his absence. He has made some attempts to sell the business, but as yet has been unable to do so.
Davis will advise and give suggestions to the Glee Club on points in which they request his assistance, such as the balancing of voices, dynamics, and microphone technique.
Lawyers Honor Dr. Burdick
A new manager for the grill has not been selected.

Billions for Allied victory . . . or for
tribute to dictators? There is only
one answer: Buy U.S. Defense Bonds
and Stamps.
Burdick spoke on "Patriotism and the Lawyer," emphasizing a decision of the supreme court that a man is not fit to practice law unless he is truly patriotic. Following Doctor Burdick's speech, F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, read the names of law students who have entered service during the last year.
Judge Hugh Means of the Douglas county bar, spoke on his experiences in the first World War, in which he served as a colonel. He stressed the differences in army life between that war and the present.
