Journalism Survey Gets Quick Results
Started only a week ago, a survey of Kansas high school journalism, which the University department of journalism is conducting, has already brought results. Seventy-five schools have filled out and returned questionnaires which were mailed to them a week ago, Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department, announced today. Many schools have sent sample copies of yearbooks and newspapers.
The information brought in by the questionnaires and the yearbooks and newspapers will be carefully studied. When the survey is completed, the information will be tabulated and evaluated, organized into a digest, and a copy of the digest sent to each high school.
The department hopes, through the survey, to establish a basis for comparison and study of what is being done in Kansas high schools in the journalism field. With the digest the department will be better able to answer requests for advice, since it will know what each school is doing and what its problems are.
Canada Will Subsidize Students
Montreal, Canada — (ACP)— Canadian students who quit their classrooms to join the dominion's armed forces will be able to complete their studies at government expense after the war is over.
This is the substance of a recent federal order. Under its provisions discharges, whether or not they have had previous college or university training will, if they apply within 15 months of their discharge and have their course of study approved by the minister of pensions and national health, have their fees paid and in addition receive a weekly subsidy of $9 for unmarried students and $13 for married students.
Entertains County Medical Society
Members of the Watkins Memorial hospital staff entertained the Douglas County Medical Society last night in the hospital lecture room. A paper, "Coarctation of the Aorta" was read to the physicians by Dr. Ronald Vetter, member of the Watkins staff.
After the paper had been read the doctors discussed the subject. Dr. Galen M. Tice, consultant radiologist from the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, and Dr. E. D. Liddy of Lawrence participated in the discussion.
Refreshments were served after the discussion and the regular business meeting was held.
Gophers Are Crossed Up As Bierman Joins Foe
Washington, March 5 - (UP)—Maj. Bernard H. Bierman of the U.S. Marine corps—known to the football fans as Bernie—has been given a coaching assignment on the campus of the University of Iowa which was his rival when he coached the Minnesota Gophers,
The navy department announced yesterday that the former Minnesota football coach has been named athletic director and head football coach of the navy's newly-established pre-flight training school at the University of Iowa.
Remodel Office Of Education
The office of the School of Education in room 103, Fraser hall, is being remodeled to improve the filling space and lighting arrangement. Double wooden doors between the office of George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, and the outer education office have been replaced with a glass and wooden paneled partition and door.
Book cases in Dean Smith's office have been rearranged, and new lighting fixtures have been installed in both offices. In the outer office new shelves and cabinets are being placed around the room, and special cases for the mimeographing machine and paper supply are being made.
George M. Beal, professor of architecture, Bill Wilson, sophomore engineer, and Hampton White, senior engineer, suggested the architectural changes. Gilman Harding, senior engineer, was consulted for suggestions in the change of light fixtures.
Trailers Designed To Supplement Defense Housing
Flint, Mich. —(UP)— Flint, the former automobile city now turning out armaments for the nation's war effort, has turned to a new product designed to help meet industry's critical housing problem.
Outwardly, the new product is a regulation house trailer, but in reality it is an expandable home that can be transformed into living quarters for four persons.
Designed by William B. Stout of Dearborn, Mich., the trailer occupies normal clearance space on the highways. With its wheels dismounted, it can be transformed into a home in 30 minutes with the aid of sliding panels and other ingenious contrivances.
When set up as a home, the trailer contains three sleeping compartments, two wardrobes, a folding dineette with table and four chairs, cook - stove, refrigerator, electric lights and oil heat.
After the game tomorrow night attend the Jayhawker Varsity.

Weak Beer, Bad Weather No Germans
London, March 5 — (UP)— Hundreds of newly arrived American troops complained today, after their first day in London, that the beer was weak, the weather was bad, and that there were no German air raids to liven things up.
They were all eager for action on the theory that the sooner they had a crack at the Germans the sooner they could go back home.
Buy Defense Bonds and Stamps
Many of the soldiers, here as a headquarters detachment, spent last evening in the west end night club area, mingling with warmly welcoming crowds, going to the movies, and sampling the British beer.
Pvt. Gerry Claeson, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was surprised that many Londoners did not bother to carry gas masks. "We thought things would be much grimmer here," he said. "It's hard to believe there is a war on. Everybody seems unconcerned."
The boys were impressed by the black-out, however. They attracted attention when a group of them went into the Picadilly subway station in the heart of the west end. "There's a light down here," one of them said. "We want to get out of the black-out."
Among the troops were seletees from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Some were military police, who started worrying because they thought they might have to direct traffic sometime in Great Britain, where vehicles keep to the left instead of the right.

"I guess it would be a good idea to have the folks back home send us some silk stockings to give away," one of them said, "They would be the best means we can think of to better Anglo-American relations."
(In peace time, American-made silk stockings were universally popular in Britain.)
The student team will conduct a newspaper clinic, analyzing and commenting on the Kansas press in open discussion. "As far as we know, this experiment is a new idea. If it succeeds, a similar event might be included in the program of the national convention of the Federation of Press Women, which is to be held in Topeka this spring," Beth said.
Students in the University department of journalism have been invited to attend the meeting of the Kansas press women in Topeka at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Eimer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department, said that a team of five seniors will be sent to the meeting.
Journalists Go To Topeka Meet
Mary Frances McAnaw, president of Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary professional journalistic fraternity for women, is in charge of arrangements for the trip. Other college seniors making the trip are Betty Abels, Heidi Viets, Stan Stauffer, and Kenneth Jackson. Mr. Beth will go with the students.
