LAWRENCE, KANSAS,WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 14. 1942
NUMBER 71
39th YEAR
Favored KU Meets MU Tonight
Open ROTC to All Students
Open R
May Enroll
Without
Fall Course
Contrary to an apparently popular conception, University of Kansas men students may enroll for spring courses in the department of military science and tactics without having taken work during the fall term.
In view of military developments since the opening of the school year, Col. James S. Dusenbury has called special attention to this fact of the students who are engaged with their pre-enrollments beginning this week.
Military science and tactics subjects are arranged so that second semester work may precede that of the first semester without handicapping the student. For this reason, a student entering in the spring semester, or a student already matriculated, can enroll in military science without difficulty.
Colonel Dusenbury also calls attention to the fact that students who have junior ranking can enroll now and complete the basic courses which lead to the status of noncommissioned officers, by the time of their graduation.
Also, he points out that the exceptionally huge demand at the present time for both commissioned and non-commissioned officers at the present time makes such procedure worthy of consideration, especially in light of the co-operative war activities program being set up between universities and the federal government.
The program of the United States army is to obtain many officers from those selected after induction into service, by sending them to officers' training school. Upon graduation from the school, they will receive appointments as officers. College men with any degree of military training, will have a big advantage, Colonel Dusenbury said.
KFKU Roundtablers To Discuss Defense
Juniors in V-7 Take Notice
The KFKU Roundtable discussion at 9:30 tonight will be on the subject of "National Defense and Vital Materials." Dean Frank Stockton of the School of Business will lead the discussion assisted by R. S. Howey and Vant Kebker, both of the economics department.
The discussion on family life, previously announced for tonight, will be broadcast one week from tonight.
Summer School or Else
Those junior men who have enlisted in class V-7 of the United States Naval Reserve will not be required to make their summer's outing a trip, for keeps, to a naval training base if they are enrolled in summer school, it has been announced.
The Naval Reserve takes college graduates only, but under the V-7 program men may enlist before they are graduated. When a V-7 man is called, he goes to a naval training station as an able seaman for one month.
The University has received word from the bureau of navigation of the Navy department that it is not the intention of the Navy department to call juniors enrolled in the V-7 program
Then he is sent as a midshipman to either Northwestern University at Evanston, Ill., or Prairie State in New York, where he is given further training for four months. At the end of this time he is commissioned as an ensign.
during the summer of 1942 provided the juniors are in attendance in the University during the summer.
More than a hundred students who have already enrolled in the V-7 program and all men who are planning to enroll may now be assured that they will not be called to active service until after their graduation, so long as they are continuously attending the University.
Further information about V-7 enlistment may be obtained from James K. Hitt, acting registrar.

BY CHUCK ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
The first definite strength of the Jayhawkers will be shown tonight when they tangle with the Missouri Tigers at Columbia in their first Big Six game of the season away from home.
The game will be Kansas' second in conference competition and fourth of the season. Missouri, on the other hand, will be playing its third game in the Big Six and tenth of the season.
It will also mark the Tigers first Big Six appearance at home this season.
Kansas will enter the game a marked favorite with its victory over Oklahoma as the main basis for this assumption. However, all predictions are to no avail when the Tigers and Jayhawkers meet. In the history of games played between the two schools it makes no difference as to the season records of the teams. Tigers Rip Jayhawks
Especially is this true when the Jayhawks travel to Columbia. In 1935 the Jayhawkers had a chance to win the Big Six title by taking only one of the two games played at Columbia that year. However, they were upset in both contests, 21 to 18 and 23 to 21, and Iowa State came through with the conference crown.
Last year the Kansans won, 34 to 25 but this was their first victory in three years. In 1940 the Tigers were on top 42 to 31 and in 1939 they administered the worst shellacking ever experienced by a Kansas crew at the hands of Missouri, 55 to 30. The lineup which Coach "Phog"
