Interview For Marine Training
Lieut. Paul E. Smith, United States Marine Corps recruiting officer, today interviewed students interested in becoming commissioned officers in that branch of the service in room 225 Frank Strong hall.
In March another recruiting officer, accompanied by a medical examining officer, will be on the campus to obtain enlistments. Qualified applicants within the assigned quotas are enlisted in the Marine corps reserve for four years but must sign an agreement that they may be held for the duration of the war. The men so enlisted are appointed privates first class, and placed on inactive status until they finish their education.
Students interested in seeing the officer may make application for an interview at the office of James K. Hitt, assistant registrar.
The Marine Corps has allowed the University of Kansas a quota of 22 men, in comparison with 20 from the University of Wichita and 19 from Kansas State College.
Social Path Class Looks To Kansas City Field Trip
The students in the first semester's social pathology class under the direction of Miss Mabel A. Elliott associate professor of sociology, will take a field trip to Kansas City Saturday morning.
The group will leave Lawrence at 8 o'clock. Arriving in Kansas City they will go directly to the Provident Association where William T Kirk, executive director of the association, will talk to them on regular family case work, work with colored persons, and work with special agencies.
The class will visit St. Joseph's Children's Home; the Urban League, a welfare agency for colored people; and the Helping Hand Institution, which is one of the best known organizations in the United States dealing with homeless and unemployed men. The group will also visit a settlement house.
Students who are interested in going but were not in the class should see Miss Elliott as there are several vacancies in cars making the trip.

The Polynesian language of the Samoans is not as pretty as French, Mrs. Nessly thought, but it is easily learned—especially the slang. "Fe ce lamu" means "Take it easy," and "cacawoe," "let's go!" For hobbies the Nessly's took moving and still pictures, but their cameras were sealed at the beginning of the war. Coraling, shelling, and playing "good old American bridge," were other activities. After dinner, everyone ran for bridge tables and played for hours.
"We lived in tents in a city called Fatumafuti. It was fun. The tents were sixteen by sixteen feet with tropical screens and rain curtains. We had coral sidewalks, and all ate in a community mess. The service wives took turns planning menus. Had the job the month the war broke out. That WAS a job." Mrs. Nessly grimaced.

Good To Be Back
Before the war, Mrs. Nessly attended several Kava ceremonies and native feasts. The most memorable of the latter was one held after a wedding. "It looked like something from a movie—but it was really authentic. The food served on banana leaves was native—seared but uncooked chicken, baked taro, breadfruit, and bananas."
In camp Mrs. Nessly, the youngest member, was called "Aunt Julie" by the numerous children. There were only 11 marine wives.
"Oh, there was fun and plenty of it before the war, but since then it hasn't been. Anyway, it's nice being back," Mrs. Nessly concluded as she fumbled with a "new-fangled" cigarette machine. "Guess I've been out of circulation. I'm not used to modern things like this. Samoa didn't have 'em."

With five minutes to play Creighton pulled up to a 45 to 40 score. At this point Beisser got off a long hook shot that went in, out, rolled around, and then dropped outside the basket. From then on it was a battle royal as the Kansans leisurely toyed with the ball while the frantic Bluejays grabbed the ball and shot as soon as they reached center court.
