Quota Set At Fifty For C.P.T.
An unofficial civilian Pilot Training quota for next semester was received today from Washington by Prof. E. E. Brush, chairman of the University program, calling for 30 secondary enrollees and 20 secondary student pilots.
Students interested in the training should enroll at once, said Professor Brush. Those who have already signed up began taking physical examinations today.
Brush said he expected all preliminary preparations to be completed in time for the program to get under way with the beginning of next semester's class work.
No date deadline on enrollment has been received yet.
Brewster Speaks On Kansas Resources
Dr. Ray Q. Brewster, chairman of the University chemistry department, spoke at the annual Chamber of Commerce membership luncheon at 12:20 o'clock this afternoon in the Eldridge hotel.
With "The Utilization of Kansas Resources in the Present Emergency" as his subject, Doctor Brewster presented ideas on converting Kansas raw materials into manufactured products.
Discussion took place on the possibility of developing manufacturing plants in Lawrence to use raw materials from over the state.
Doctor Brewster was a research chemist for the U. S. Public health service during World War I.
Enrollment To Be Short and Snappy
Students can expect to set a new speed record going through the enrollment line next semester if enrollment procedure is carefully followed.
This is the way it should work:
In the meeting with the adviser, an enrollment card will be filled out, but the adviser will not sign the card. If all of this is done correctly, actual enrollment should not take more than ten minutes per student for all that will be necessary will be to get the adviser's signature and go through the bull-pen.
Beginning Thursday, faculty advisers will be in their offices to meet and advise students concerning the courses to be taken. Office hours of the advisers will be posted on the bulletin board opposite the College office.
J. Willard Ridings, national president of the American College Publicity association from Texas Christian University, addressed the group at a dinner meeting last night on the subject, "It's the Publicity Director's Job."
Irene Peabody Sings Favorites
The current series of Fine Arts faculty recitals was continued last night in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall by Irene Peabody, associate professor of voice, in a program which alternated old favorites with novelties.
Her first group was from the classical Italian repertoire: "Lungi Dal Caro Bene," Paisiello's "Nel Cor Piu,' and the great Recitative and Air from Gluck's "Orpheus," wherein Orpheus lamentes the death of his wife, Euridice.
The second group came from Russian composers: Gliere, Gretchaninoff, Arensky, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikowski, Moussorgsky. Notable were two Arensky songs, "Revery" and "Deep Hidden in My Heart."
Next came a group from the Scandinavian headed by two Swedish songs in their Lawrence premiere, Rangstrom's "Serenade" and "Vingar I Natten." Sung in Swedish by Miss Peabody, they appealed instantly to the audience. A Swedish folk son, "The Dove and the Lily," was followed by five miniature masterpieces of Grieg.
The last group moved into the realm of "effective" songs—Strickland's "My Lover Is a Fisherman," Buzzi-Peciaa "Under the Greenwood Tree," Hageman's "Do Not Go My Love," and Levitzki's "Ah Thou Beloved One."
Winifred Hill accompanied at the piano.
