SPORTIN' AROUND--continued from page four)
Adams had his familiar jump shot but looked even better on defense. . . . Besides not being able to hit the hoop for points the Kansans were woefully weak on gaining rebounds. . . . Another point that better be checked pronto is the dissension that is present on the squad. . . . If certain conditions can be ironed out the Jayhawks can look forward to a successful season but otherwise only trouble and defeat is in store for Phog Allen. . . Lt Russell Cook, coach of the Great Lakes team, said, in commenting on their defeat at the hands of Creighton University Wednesday night, "Creighton was the hottest team ever. All they had to do was to look at the basket and push the ball and it was two points."

European history, military law, a choice of several foreign languages, mechanical and free hand drawing, and a number of applied sciences, plus certain optional courses. All told, the training would last for one year, and college credit would be given for the class work.
A special War Department "must" course for all the S.A.T.C. members was a lecture series called "War Issues." While the 500 or more schools with S.A.T.C. units were required to offer such a course, they were allowed certain leeway in the organization. The local series was divided into four sections as follows: the causes of the war and America's entry; political science problems involved; economic problems; and philosophical problems. Each section was to last three months, with college credit given.

Barbed wire entanglements lay thick at all key positions to strengthen the trenches, fox holes and other defenses in which the Imperial troops awaited on assault.
Women Do Their Part
Among the 24 faculty members who gave the lectures, several are still here: the back files of the Daily Kansan list L. N. Flint, of the department of journalism; D. L. Patterson, C. C. Crawford, and F. E. Melvin, of the department of history; A. M. Sturtevant, of the department of German; R. A. Schwegler of the School of Education; and W. L. Burdick of the School of Law.
Women students were not entirely ignored in the wartime scene. A prenursing course was set up, in which women received instruction in anatomy, physiology, hygiene, general bacteriology, elementary chemistry and food and nutrition. Completion of the course entitled the student from six months to one year advanced standing in training schools for nurses.
The S.A.T.C. started badly, and ended abruptly, in both instances due
to circumstances beyond its control. In the first days of October, just when the student-soldiers were moving into their newly-erected barracks, an influenza epidemic swept the Hill. The University was closed for 15 days, and several deaths resulted from the attack of old devil flu.
After the epidemic ended, the program was just getting under way again when the Armistice was signed, Nov. 11, and the government was mildly at a loss for what to do with the S.A.T.C. It was decided to the matter to a vote of the students and faculty of the various universities whether the program should be carried out. By an overwhelming vote here, it was decided to discontinue the course at the end of the Dec. 21 quarter. Soon afterward, the War Department ordered the demobilization of the units on Dec. 3-4, with the officers to be demobilized Dec. 10. Some of the men collected their pay and went back home, but most of them stayed on to continue their studies. The barracks were torn up and declared salvage.
Post-War Courses
In the spring quarter, as a sort of prologue to the "War Issues," a number of "reconstruction" courses were offered. "War, Peace, and Reconstruction" was taught by Prof. Melvin; H. C. Chubb, who is also on the present series, presented "Greater European Movements"; A. J. Boynton, professor of economics, gave "Economics of War" and William M. Duffus, also of the department of Economics, offered "Labor Problems of the Reconstruction Period." None of these courses were required.
Prospects of another S.A.T.C. are rather dismal, according to Prof. Melvin, because of the impracticability of the old program. Most of the men were too absorbed in their military work, or too fatigued after drill to devote much time to study. To keep our Universities open, programs such as the Navy's V-7 will be used in place of any student-soldier scheme.
Billions for Allied victory . . . or for tribute to dictators? There is only one answer: Buy U.S. Defense Bonds and Stamps.
