Notify High Schools Of Hall Scholarships
Notices have been mailed to every high school in Kansas of the availability of 156 men's residence hall scholarships for 1942-43, Gilbert C. Ulmer, associate dean of the College, and chairman of the men's residence halls appointment committee, announced today. The appointment to such a scholarship carries the privilege of living in one of the four dormitories maintained by the University.
Twelve residence hall scholarships are available at present, in addition to the openings that will come next year.
Worth $100 A Year
While there is no direct financial grant to the award, each scholarship is considered worth not less than $100, that amount being the estimated difference in cost between living in one of the halls and living in other quarters equally desirable accommodations. Last year, the first year of operation of the dormitories, what is believed to be a record for low cost housing for American University students was established on the Hill. The men have to maintain a high scholarship average to remain in the halls.
The average cost per man for the 118 students living in Battenfeld, Carruth and Templin halls, for the nine months' period covering the 1940-41 school year, was $140.10. This figure did not, of course, include any University fees or personal expenses, but was the total cost for board, room, light, heat, power, water, telephone, insurance, magazines and newspapers, house laundry, and salaries for the housemothers and proctors.
Do Own Cooking
This year, a fourth dormitory, Jolliffe hall, given to the University Endowment Association in which title
the dormitories is vested, by O. Sollipe, Feibae banker and cattleman. Since the Endowment Association owns the properties, rent is not a factor in living costs. The boys do all their own cooking. There is no maid service—the men doing all their own cleaning, bed-making, dishwashing, and all other tasks incident to comfortable living. The halls provide not only comfortable living accommodations, but are appointed as
well as any rooming quarters in the city.
The men thrive on their own cooking which is done according to the most scientific principles of the culinary arts. Daily weight charts kept during the first year of operation indicated an average weight increase of four and one-half pounds per man.
Book by Pratt Off K.U. Press
"Oil in the Earth" is the title of the new book by Wallace Pratt, director of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, which was recently published by the University press.
The book is an informative discussion of how and where oil occurs, how it is discovered, and how the possession of oil resources affects world affairs. It is written in a non-technical style and is especially important in view of present-day world affairs.
Fratt is a graduate of the University with the degrees of A.B., B.S., and E.M. For a number of years he was associated with the Bureau of Science, Philippine Islands, as a geologist and later as its chief. He was president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 1920, and in 1928 he became a director of the American Petroleum Institute.

MacArthur Plans U.S. Offensive As Philippine Aid
By UNITED PRESS
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters, Australia, March 20—Gen Douglas MacArthur said today he had come here to organize an American offensive against Japan and that a primary purpose was to relieve the Philippines.
He made his statement "somewhere in Australia."
In a brief statement, every phrase of which was a fighting one, the hero of Batan Peninsula said:
It was the first public statement the new United Nations' supreme commander in the southwest Pacific had made since his arrival in Australia Tuesday.
President Orders It
"The President of the United States ordered me to break through the Japanese lines and proceed from Corregidor to Australia for the purpose, as I undestand it, of organizing an American offensive against Japan.
"I came from there and I shall return."
As MacArthur made his statement Prime Minister John Curtin said in a statement of his own, "We will take back what we have lost." He said Australia backs the pledge of MacArthur to the Philippines.
along the northern and northeastern coastal fringes.
"A primary purpose behind this is the relief of the Philippines.
They had raided Darwin yesterday, reconnoitere dover Port Moresby and attacked Tulagi and Florida in the Solomon Islands as aerial warfare intensified in speed and fury all
Japanese war plauses lashed out in two new attacks on Port Moresby, 350 miles northeast of Australia, as their invasion forces drove through the interior of New Guinea toward it behind 'Nazi-trained native guides and German "missionary" aides.
Australia Voices Opinion
Aerial Cannons Roar
Four Japanese fighter planes used their cannon and machine guns against the airdrome areas until ground fire drove them off. In a second attack a Japanese heavy bomber made two runs over the Port Moresby area, dropping its bombs. It was asserted that in neither raid was damage or casualties caused.
High Allied officers revealed that American airplane crews were operating widely over the New Guinea invasion area, and praised them highly.
"We are trying to keep the Japanese from stabilizing their position in New Guinea," a spokesman said. "If we had a little more equipment we could do it."

Funds for the proposed $65,000 structure were raised in a campaign completed last fall. However, according to Dr. Martin, the money cannot be spent for anything else. It possibly will be invested safely so that the funds will bring in interest until such time as the dormitory can be constructed.
