New Aeronautical Lab Largest in Middle West
With the pouring of the concrete floor, work has been practically completed on the new aeronautical engineering laboratory under the west side of Memorial stadium.
The lab will be one of the finest for aeronautical engineering in the Middle West. It is located near the University wind tunnel, which is one of the largest in this section of the United States.
Special equipment has been installed especially for the testing of airplane engines and of fuel for airplane motors. New torque stands for mounting motors have been installed, and work on the control house has been completed. Extensions from the heating facilities have been connected with the wind tunnel for research in testing models.
One new motor has been added to the department's equipment, which already contained several motors of older models, mostly contributed by various manufacturing firms. A complete collection of small parts, consisting of castings and forgings, has been donated to the University by the Boeing company which also contributed several large structural components including plywood wings and a complete aluminum alloy fuselage.
Two machines for testing the fatigue strength of sheet metal have been contributed to the department by Lockheed. These machines were developed by Professor Brush when he was a member of the Lockheed engineering staff. Transcontinental and Western Air have given a three-blade constant speed propellor from a DC-3 transport plane, which will absorb 1000 horsepower.
Camp Shelby, Miss. (UP)—The camp quartermaster's salvage office is in the junk business to the tune of about $8,000,000 a year, which goes to the U. S. Treasury.
Fish and Game Film Wednesday
The mating dance of the greater prairie chicken will be the main feature of the color-and-sound film to be seen by the Zoology club of Snow hall next Wednesday. The film is about an hour in length, Fred Kahn, of the county clerk's office, announced today, and is said to be the only one in which this unusual dance is recorded.
Miss Helen De Vault, publicity director of the Forestry, Fish, and Game commission, will show the picture. The film deals with the use of the state fish hatchery and plant at Pratt and with scenes from the quail and pheasant hatcheries. The buffalo and bison refuge near Garden City will also be seen. The film includes views of various state parks in the different counties.
Judge Refers Arrested Man to David in Bible
Detroit, —(UP)— Lloyd Lowe, 38, organizer for an AFL restaurant workers' local, was arraigned before Recorder's Judge Christopher E. Stein on a charge of carrying a dangerous weapon.
"But, your honor," pleaded Lowe, arrested for breaking a window during a recent jurisdictional fight, "a slingshot isn't a dangerous weapon."
"Isn't it?" the judge parried. "I refer you to Samuel: 1-17—you know, David and Goliath."
Candidates For Marine Corps To See Hitt
Word was received today at the registrar's office from Lt. Paul E. Smith of Kansas City, Mo., that all applications for the marine corps reserve must be turned in before March 2, the date set for physical examinations. Students interested should see James K. Hitt, assistant registrar, at once.
The marine corps hopes to enlist for training leading to commissions, twelve seniors, eight juniors, and two sophomores during March.
An applicant must be enrolled as a sophomore, junior or senior in the University. He must be an unmarried citizen of the United States. He must not belong to any other military organization, including army or navy R.O.T.C.
The candidate must pass the physical examination required for appointment to commissioned rank in the regular marine corps, which requires him to be between 66 and 76 inches in height, with weight in proportion to height and age. He must be recommended by the president or dean of his college or university, by one member of the faculty, and by at least three citizens of good standing in the applicant's home community; and must furnish written consent of parents or guardian to enlistment if a minor.
There are qualifications pertaining to degrees which Mr. Hitt will explain those interested.
Lt. Paul E. Smith is the recruiting officer for this territory and his headquarters are in room 243, U.S. court house, Kansas City, Mo. Lieutenant Smith was on the University campus Feb. 11, of this year and talked to students who were interested in the marine corps reserve at that time.
Shakespeare Players to Appear Here
actors and actresses as Beatrice Whitney Straight, who has studied in England, France, and New York, and Ford Rainey, who has toured the Pacific coast with the American Repertory company.
Therapy Course Has National Attraction
From Window Rock, Ariz., to Plainfield, Vt., hundreds of inquiries have been pouring into the University administrative offices requesting information about the course for occupational therapy for women since announcement was made a month ago that the course would be added to the curriculum.
This scene from Michael Chekhov's current production of "Twelfth Night" will appear on the Hill next Wednesday night when the former leader of the Second Moscow Art theater presents the Shakespearean comedy in Hoch auditorium.
Coming from a recent New York engagement, the full production company is touring the Middle West for the first time, playing at colleges and cultural centers.

One of the first out-of-state requests came from the director of the Navajo Indian school at Window Rock, Ariz. Since the course is administered both by the department of design and by the University hospitals in Kansas City, Miss Whitney is becoming uneasy about being able to handle the influx of enrollees in the course this fall. Facilities are sufficient in Lawrence, she pointed out, but the equipment of the University hospitals is likely to become crowded. However, Miss Winslow added that negotiations are under way with other hospitals of the area to take care of a probable overflow. The therapy course consists of three years in the University, and one year and one summer in hospital training.
Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the department of design, which will administer the course enabling women to participate in the program of vocational rehabilitation of men wounded or disabled in the current war, has received scores of letters from prospective students all over the country, all eager
to know more about the program inaugurated this semester. In addition, Miss Whitney has received a great number of inquiries from Kansas students, including those now enrolled in the course here in the University, and from Indian students at Haskell Institute.
The University of Kansas is one of six schools in the United States qualified to give certificates for registered occupational therapists. Already the demand for occupational therapists is twice as great as the number of trained young women available. The war is expected to increase that demand. The profession, which uses handicrafts, recreational, and educational activities as treatment prescribed by physicians and administered by trained persons to hasten recovery from injury, disease, or mental sickness, is closely allied with medicine, nursing, physical therapy, and social service.
