Chubb Speaks To Men In Military Camps
Prof. H. B. Chubb, associate professor of political science, has been speaking before groups of army men in this area on American interests in the Far East. "This is part of a program of instruction initiated by the public relations bureau of the war department to give the men in the armed forces an understanding of the international situation as it affects this country," Chubb said. "The purpose behind this program is to give the men sufficient background of the events leading up to the present conflict to enable them to
ent conflict to enable them to get an idea of just what is going on."
In November of last year, the war department asked Chancellor Deane W. Mallot to send them the name of a faculty member who would be willing to go to the camps in this region, and address the men on topics being studied in this program. Professor Chubb's name was sent them by the Chancellor, and the war department wrote him, asking for his biography and qualifications. After supplying the information he received instructions as to where and when he would speak, and was given the topic of our interests in the Far East.
Universities all over the nation are participating in this program. One man is chosen at each university selected by the war department's bureau of public relations. These men are sent to address men in camps located in the region of their respective schools.
Teach International Future
As organized by the bureau of public relations, the program started with a series of orientation courses conducted by the officer personnel at each camp. These courses give the men the background material pertinent to the development of international conditions as they are today, and as they may be in the future.
"This is quite a contrast to the totalitarian system, where the soldier is expected to be a 'goose-stepping' machine," explained Chubb.
Commanding officers at the camps have been instructed to make available suitable places to be used as lecture halls. Charts, maps, pamphlets, and other material needed for instruction is furnished by the war department. Background material is also provided, and has been placed in officers' and enlisted men's clubs, recreation centers, and camp libraries for use by the men in the courses. Monthly reports on the progress of the courses and lectures are made to the war department.
Supplement Camp Instruction
The civilian lecturers are used to highlight and supplement the courses of instruction at the camps. The officers conducting these various courses are given material in pamphlet form, complete with maps, charts, and text of the subject matter, on which to base their instruction. The civilian speakers are given the same pamphleted material for their lectures as is used in the course related to their respective topics. This is to insure coordination between the subject matter of the civilian giving a certain lecture, and what the men he addresses have been studying.
"I have been pleasantly surprised at the interest shown by the men to whom I have spoken," Chubb remarked. "Although the men marched into the room in a precise, military manner, their attitude indicated that they were there to get something from the lecture and not merely because a superior officer had ordered them to attend." This present another contrast between the way
things are done in totalitarian nations, and the way they are done in America.
First Address in Kansas City
Professor Chubb's first address was on Feb. 6 to the men of the Quartermaster's depot, and of other units, in Kansas City. The next week he addressed two audiences at Ft. Riley, each of about 600 men. His latest trip was to Ft. Leavenworth, where he spoke to one group of 900 men last Wednesday afternoon, and to another of 200 men that evening.
Professor Chubb said that until he received further instructions from the war department he did not know when he would speak again, or whether he was through for the time being. This particular phase of instruction lasts until March, and then, he said, he might be needed to address new groups of men at these centers.
Another First Aid class for women enrolled in Nurses' Aid will begin next Tuesday at 1:30, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Watkins Memorial hospital, announced today.
"Nurses' Aid" To Begin Tuesday
Other First Aid courses in progress now are Dr. Glen H. Baird's, open to any student for College credit; and Dr. Clare Asling's and Dr. Park Woodard's freshmen medical First Aid.
Besides the women taking t he course as a second step in their nurses' training, there will also be a few women who were unable to finish the course in February. If enrollment does not come up to 25, interested students and townpeople may take the course, not to exceed 25 in the class.
Wyoming, N. Y. —(UP)— When this town had its initial blackout test it marked the first time the gas street lights had been extinguished since their installation 34 years ago. They had been burning day and night since 1908.
Calling Buck Rogers--- Genuine Ray Gun Could Cause Any Army's Ruin
Washington—(UP)—The worst thing that could happen to the United Nations right now would be for someone to invent a genuine, fool-proof, non-comic strip ray gun, Col. Maurice E. Barker said today.
Gas Light Record Is Broken
The class will meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30 to 3:30 with Dr. Beatrice M. Lins as teacher.
Ray guns, he said, would spell the doom of airplanes, tanks and other offensive weapons upon which the United Nations must depend to win back the vast territories lost to the Axis. 596 years ago in the battle
Once all lost ground has been recaptured, he added, invention of an invincible anti-tank or anti-aircraft weapon of any kind would insure an Allied victory, at the same time bringing about a revolution in warfare comparable to that wrought by gunpowder in the fourteenth century.
"Offensive weapons at the moment are superior to the defensive," he said, "but someone sooner or later is going to invent a one-man cannon, a ray gun or something that will knock hell out of tanks and airplanes."
Barker is chief of the technical division of the army chemical warfare service and he was not just being whimsical when he talked of ray guns.
Will Come Someday
Barker's function is to examine and encourage the production of ideas by chemists, physicists and mechanical engineers for the creation of new weapons and materials of war. Schooled in the history of warfare, he knows that it is not beyond the realm of possibility that this conflict may produce a weapon as surprising to those against whom it is turned as was gunpowder to the armored knights who witnessed its effects for the first time
Examines New Weapons
"We have the rays right now," he said, referring to mammoth cyclotrons, "but a 400-ton atom smasher can't be carried around like Buck Rogers' ray pistol."
"Anything that the logical human mind can imagine can be achieved. If Buck Rogers can overcome enemies of all kinds with his ray gun, who knows how soon such weapons will be hurling their weightless bullets at human targets?"
596 years ago in the battle of Crecy. Citing the example of Jules Vernes" "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," which long ante-dated invention of the submarine, Barker said:
Receive Letter From Alumni Now In Training School
Jerome Hellings, who was graduated last spring, recently wrote to Col. James Dusenbury concerning his schooling in Harvard university under a plan of the United States government.
The government has placed 250 men in the Harvard graduate school of business administration this year. Hellings was the only student from this University to enter the school. He will attend Harvard for 18 months and then go into the quartermaster corps.
The group of men which was selected by the government has been attending classes for two weeks and official acceptance will be given them as soon as the results of physical examinations are known.

three posters made by the students of the different colleges and universities of the state, and one grand prize will be given to the designer of the best poster in the nation.
Most of the posters made by the design department students were at least partially painted by use of the air gun; a device which is so ultramodern and unique that only a scattered few of the universities and colleges of the nation offer instruction in its use.
