Red Cross Funds Near Goal Jay Janes Cover Hill
Faculty and University employees have already contributed $674 toward the $800 goal, and the student drive which began this week is in full swing, Prof. E. C. Buehler, chairman of the drives, reported today.
"The faculty drive is unique in that it is being accomplished entirely on an honor basis, without soliciting," Buehler said.
Fine Arts Proposes Course In Therapy
A four-year course leading to a degree in occupational therapy has been proposed for the School of Fine Arts. The course would require 122 credit hours for graduation, would require the student to spend six semesters in the University school of Fine Arts and college of Liberal Arts and Sciences and two semesters and a summer session at the University hospital in Kansas City. It would lead to a bachelor of science degree in the School of Medicine.
"Such a course is needed badly by a school in this part of the country," Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the design department, said. "The nearest school offering a course of this nature is in St. Louis.
Miss Whitney also said that the need for trained persons in this line would continue to increase as the war progresses. They are used almost entirely in rehabilitation work, having an extensive training in various handicrafts and in nursing.
AIEE Dines Monday
Hans Wechsel, representative of the Wagner Electric corporation of St. Louis, will present a demonstrated lecture Monday in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building, when the Kansas University branch and the Kansas City section of the American Institute of Electric Engineers meet there for a 7 o'clock dinner.
"The student drive is also progressing with a minimum of canvassing."
Thursday and today Jay Janes have been soliciting on the campus, and next week members of the faculty, Sachem, and Mortar Board will speak at the various organized houses.
Sunday is national Red Cross day, to be observed by all Americans and stressed in the pulpits and newspapers. Fred Robertson, head of the student drive, urges students who have not already contributed to do so.
Bloch III; Out For Remainder Of Semester
Albert Bloch, professor of drawing and painting, who has been ill at his home since the Christmas vacation will not be able to conduct classes for the remainder of this semester.

The department of journalism has recently purchased a Speed Graphic camera with a speed gun and range finder. This is the latest type of news camera used on most newspapers. The department also owns a Graffix news camera.
Journalists Get Speed Graphic For Photo Course
The cameras will be used in a new course in News Photography, which will be taught by Verdun Daste next semester. The enrollment in this course will probably be limited to seniors who are majoring in journalism.

Lawyers May Get 2 Degrees In 4 Years
The proposal that a student may obtain both the college and law degrees in four calendar years is receiving consideration in most of the leading universities of the nation, Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law announced today.
In carrying out this proposal many schools will operate on the three-semester basis, Moreau stated. Each semester would contain 15 or 16 weeks. This would enable the law student to complete the course in two calendar years and in the advent that the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences would undertake the same plan the student could receive both degrees in four calendar years.
This announcement came as the result of a conference of the Association of American Law Schools held in Chicago Dec. 29-31, which was attended by Dean Moreau and five other members of the law faculty. During this conference two sessions were devoted to the consideration of problems confronting law schools as the result of war emergency.
At the meeting the association adhered to the minimum requirements both for the admission to schools of law and law study for obtaining a degree in law.
The minimum requirement of the association for the law degree are 90 weeks of law study and 1,080 classroom hours in residence. Moreau said that no deviation is permitted except where men are seniors during the school year 1941-42 and are called into the service between January and June.

London—(UP)—British men, worried about becoming baldheaded, have begun taking sulphur tablets to make up for the deficiency of that element in their diet because of the egg shortage. Dieticians have pointed out that the egg is rich in sulphur which is necessary for hair health.
Emphasis was placed on the need of streamlining and expediting completion of 90 weeks of work.
Missouri Adopts Quarterly System
Columbia, Mo. — (UP) — The Schools of Medicine and Law at the University of Missouri will go on a quarterly basis beginning with the summer quarter, enabling students to complete their courses in a much shorter time, President Frederick A. Middlebush, announced last night.

Symphony Orchestra Sponsors Dance
The Symphony Orchestra will sponsor a dance in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building at 9 o'clock tomorrow night.

Musicians Assemble 800 Strong
Despite the cold weather and bad road conditions, all of the organizations scheduled to appear in the Mid-West Music Clinic have arrived. More than 700 high school and junior college students are on the campus for the Clinic along with more than 100 supervisors.
Russell L. Wiley, director of the University Band and director of the Clinic said that four groups which had canceled their plans to attend, had reverted to their original plans and were at the meeting. He reported that registration of supervisors had fallen short of the 200 expected to attend but that he was confident that at least 125 would be registered in the lobby of Hoch Auditorium by 4:30 this afternoon. The members of the visiting organizations are not registered. Eighteen organizations are attending the Clinic, including bands, orchestras, glee clubs, and A Cappella Choirs.
Students who wish to get passes to the concert, or to any of the Clinic events, may do so by applying for them at the fine arts office.
One of the highlights of the program will be the Complimentary Gala Concert in Hoch Auditorium beginning at 8 p.m. this evening. The Concert will feature the University Symphony Orchestra under Karl Kuersteiner, the University A Cappella Choir under Dean Donald M. Swarthout, and the University concert Band under Russell L. Wiley.
The program will close with the Band, a picked choir of 16, and James Quy at the organ playing the new tone poem, "America," by Ernest S. Williams. The tone poem made its first appearance on the Hill at the Annual Band Concert last month.
Just before Christmas the Hill Bundles for Britain gave birth to the Bluejackets group. The U.S. declaration of war had made B. for B. drop some of its bundles. Bluejackets, in step with the times, sends clothing to Uncle Sam's navy.
Bluejackets Instead of Bundles Hill Women Sew for Navv
Since its organization here, more than 85 University women have volunteered for Bluejackets service.
The group's work consists of the knitting of woolen garments. Beginners are asked to make the simpler squares, scarves, and watch caps by the Bluejackets. More advanced knitters may attempt gloves and turtle-neck pullover sweaters. All garments must be made $ ^{\circled{1}} $ according to specifications
The wool to be used and knitting instructions can be had weekly at the W.S.G.A. teas. Contributors are asked by the Bluejackets to pin name
and address to the completed article to insure answer from the member of the navy whom it reaches.
Although affiliated with Bundles for Britain, Bluejackets is an independent organization.
