Given LAWRENCE, KANSAS,SUNDAY, JANUARY 25, 1942 NUMBER 76 Jayhawkers Lead Big Six Race 39th YEAR World At War Course Open To Everyone The lecture course "The World at War," which will be given next semester as part of the University of Kansas' war program, is expected to attract the largest enrollment of any class that has been held on Mt. Oread, and is regarded by the University administration and by the community as one of the most important courses. The course is designed to present a sound basis for popular judgment upon current problems of America at war, and will be open to all students of the University as well as to citizens of Lawrence and surrounding communities. It will consist of fifteen lectures, and will carry one hour credit. Material considered in the course will be: How and why did this war come to the world and especially to America? What are the stakes for which it is being fought? And what are the prospects that open ahead? The course will begin with conditions that lie behind the present conflict: the clash of ideas and systems, the failure of Versailles, the League, disarmament, and the peace efforts, and the lessons that these experiences can teach us. The discussions will take up next the coming of war to Europe, to the Far East, and to America, with an analysis of the role and resources of the various combatant powers, and an account of the conduct and strategy of the war to the present. Finally, consideration will be given to the problems of American war economy and require- (continued to page eight) $24 Cash Red Cross Gets Class Rebate Attention Women--whom Bailey Laboratories are named. There was a request from Tulane University, from Wayne University, from the Kansas State Board of Health, and a whole file of others. $24, cold cash, was added to the Red Cross drive pot last week by the 9:30 Social Science Survey class taught by Hilden Gibson. The class found that it had a rebate coming on a magazine that they had subscribed to for the course, the total of which amounted to $24. Sherwood Has Requests For 200 Technicians Military and Defense Data Available Some one made the motion, and it passed unanimously, to give it all to the Red Cross. James R. Hitt, assistant registrar, is accumulating all available information with respect to opportunities open to students in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Defense activities. Part of this information has been summarized in a multigraphed pamphlet edited by Stewart Bunn, senior engineer, which was distributed as a supplement to the Kansas Engineer for January, 1942. Additional copies are available at the Registrar's Office. On the bulletin board outside the Registrar's office is posted an extensive chart prepared by the Office of Education of the Federal Security Agency which summarizes the positions open in various civilian defense activities as well as the Army and Navy Aviation, CAA, Maritime Commission. Weather: Fair over weekend. Fine for vacationing. Urgent requests were there from Col. W. H. Bailey, chief of the military hospital at Ft. Sill, Okla., for four technicians. Col. Bailey is a son of Prof. Bailey, former professor at the University of Kansas for An unusual opportunity for University of Kansas young women to be of vital service to their country is offered in the field of bacteriology as laboratory technicians. Dr. Noble P. Sherwood, chairman of the department of bacteriology, announced today. An almost overwhelming flood of letters asking for the services of competent technicians, both in government and in private service, lay on Dr. Sherwood's desk as he spoke of the opportunities for service. More than 200 K.U. graduates, he said, have been placed in positions as laboratory technicians in every state in the Union, and in U.S. possessions. A half dozen, he indicated, are located in Honolulu. Dr. Sherwood looked at them regrettedly. "I am sorry," he said, "we just don't have enough girls to fill these important positions." Now with the war in full swing, Dr. Sherwood pointed out, there is (continued to page eight) Establish Residence Hall for Men Thirty-six University men will be housed in the new cooperative dormitory, purchased last week by the Endowment Association, Gilbert Ulmer, chairman of the Men's Residence Halls Scholarships Committee, said yesterday. "Applications for places in the new hall should be made immediately," Applications for places in the new men's residence hall should be made immediately in room 1, Frank Strong hall. Mr. Ulmer urged. New applicants for residence hall scholarships will have a limited choice of the four halls, but most of the newcomers will live in the recently acquired dormitory. The committee cautioned applicants not to make contracts or commitments at rooming houses while their applications were pending. Buy Acacia House The house was purchased last week from the Acacia fraternity as the fourth men's scholarship dormitory. It was formerly occupied by the University Club. "It is a fine building." Mr. Ulmer observed, "and the study rooms are larger and more comfortable than those in any of the other three halls." The new hall, as yet unnamed, will be operated on the same basis as are Battenfield, Carruth and Templin halls, with a deposit of $19 each month and a possible refund at the end of the semester. The new scholars will also pay a maintenance fee of $7.50 at the beginning of the semester. Mrs. M. M. Wolf, housemother for the Acacias, will continue as housemother for the cooperative house. Applications for the position of proctor will be considered by the committee. Engineers Enroll Early Enrollment for all students in the School of Engineering and Architecture will start at 7:30 am. Monday, Feb. 2. (continued to page seven) Working students who have relatively inflexible schedules should be there early to get in necessary classes before they are closed. F. L. Brown, professor of applied mechanics, will have charge of upperclass enrollment, and R. Koopman, professor of electrical engineering, will supervise freshman enrollment.

He was fouled 15 seconds later but missed the free throw.
