4-Year Course To Be Offered In Therapy
This semester the University is opening to women students a new four year course that will lead toward a Bachelor's degree in Occupational Therapy. Prof. Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the department of design, will be the adviser for the course. At present five students are enrolled in the course. They are Vivan McBeth, Fauline Rankin, Mary Lou Nelson, Syble McDonald, and Harriet Kizler.
Occupational Therapy was established and used on a wide scale following the World War as an aid to recovery and a guide to vocational rehabilitation of wounded or disabled service men. It is a profession closely allied with medicine nursing, physical therapy, and social service. It uses handcrafts, recreational and educational activities as treatment, prescribed by physicians and administered by trained therapists to hasten the recovery from disease, injury, or mental sickness.
The course of study will consist of three years at the University, one year and one summer at the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City. There are only five schools in the United States from which a registered degree in therapy may be obtained. These schools state that there are about twice as many positions for trained therapists as there are graduates each year.
Latin-Americans In Army Flying
Olympia, Wash.—A dozen Latin- American aviation cadets, part of 500 youths being trained as instructors of United States aviation methods, find themselves quite busy these days.
Besides training at the Olympia airport, they are digging into the mysteries of American slang and food. On the side, they have altered considerably the prevailing impression of the "South American Way."
Several bear non-Latin names, and all speak English well. For the most part, they don't match the movie conception of a Latin-American. All of them constantly run into oddities of life in the United States—such as drinking coffee.
"We drink just a little coffee—just a little cup, very black and very strong," said a Brazilian, Ulysses Segul. "Here you drink coffee all the time—with cream in it."
Others commented on the sweet salads and the custom of serving jelly with meat. The Argentine delegation missed "beefsteak on horseback" an Argentine steak on which an egg has been broken while it broils.
The twelve cadets include two from Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina, and one each from Panama, Petu, Uruguay and Venezuela. They are part of more than 500 Latin-American youths to be sent to this country for training as instructors.
They were not told where they would be sent, and almost immediately on their arrival in New York were sped across the continent to Olympia. Here, they were put into uniforms and took their first flying lessons.

Late Nites, Cold Days New to Costa Rican Coed
Aita Ramirez, new student Rica, caused quite a furor when day. Mrs. Alma Brook, house m and Aita understood very little Frances Butterfield and Dorothy bin, were found to speak Aita's ginning of University life for Caitheo Sargo, Costa Rica.
Dr. Dwight W. Bollinger, Spanish professor at Washburn University, is Aita's sponsor here. She became acquainted with him when he spent a year doing research work in Costa Rica, and he helped her to secure a scholarship. She arrived last week to enroll in special work in the School of Fine Arts.
Although Aita has been here for only a few days she has some rather definite impressions of college life. "Students stay up so late," she remarked. "I prefer to go to bed earlier, and get up sooner." The cold weather seems unusually severe to her as she had never before been in a climate cold enough to require a heavy coat.
She is having many new experiences in eating. Foods here are quite different from those to which she is accustomed. French toast, French fried potatoes, and peanut butter rank high with her, however.
University's "Comanche' In Jayhawker Film
The rapidity with which she is becoming acclimated to Kansas weather and life is amazing. Her home is on the central plateau of Costa Rica, and from the town of Caitneo Sango, a volcano, Trazel, is visible. Changing from a tropical country, subject to mild earthquakes, to winter in a rather severe climate, with strange food, a foreign language, late hours

The Jayhawker's picture Sunday through Wednesday "They Died With Their Boots On" starring Errol Flynn and Olivia deHaviland, is the life story of General George Armstrong Custer and includes that famous battle of the Little Big Horn known as Custer's Last Stand.
The only living survivor of that battle was the horse Comanche. He is now mounted in Dyke Museum at the University. Comanche was not a fancy horse, but a substantial and hardy animal well suited to the cavalry service of that day. His first army service was in Ellis, Kansas, where he was to do his part in the campaign to quell the Comanche Indians who had been making murderous forays against the white settlers of the Southwest. In his first baptism of fire he proved himself of stoclical behavior while under fire and wounded as he was in that first battle.
In his last battle at the Little Big Horn he was wounded seven times and was left by the Indians because he was nearly gone. However after the battle had cleared he was found by some cavalry units and he was taken to Fort Abraham Lincoln where he received an honor never before accorded an animal in our military history "a special and comfortable stall be fitted up for him," and that he not be ridden by any person whatsoever under any circumstances, nor be put to any kind of work, and upon all occasions of ceremony (of mounted regimental formation), Comanche saddled, bridled, draped in mourning, and led by a mounted trooper of Troop I.
and a bewildering number of unfamiliar faces, all would present a formidable barrier to any new student.
There are two things Aita has in common with all other college students—her love of music and dancing. At a house party recently she found that though she could not understand everything that was said, dance music and friendly smiles mean the same in every language.
