War Worries Shadow Lives of Jayhawk Men
Topping the list of possible conversational topics is, naturally, the war. The effect that this conflict will ultimately have on the University can't be clearly seen, but ideas on the matter can be gained by getting the opinions of a cross-section of the male population, those in whom the answer to the dilemma is indirectly vested.
It is a situation in which there is little or no optimism. The men are confident that the struggle will be long and hard. No one could be found to disagree on this point. However some commented that they did believe that the war would be a tougher fight at the beginning than at the conclusion. Should Knock-out Early
"If we get in there and deliver a series of knock-out blows in the beginning," one student said, "after about 18 months we should have only the task of cleaning up the situation."
The question, "What about your future here on the Hill, will you be back next semester or next year" brought a series of definitely undecided answers. A few were positive they would return next semester, a few were positive they wouldn't, but a majority "didn't know." None could be found to state that if he did come back next semester, he would also enroll next fall.
Most of the men did not think they would enlist outright in the service, but they voiced the opinion that if it seemed imminent that they would be drafted, then they would enlist in some branch more appealing to them than the infantry.
Interferes With Studying
"Darn right it does," was the answer to the query, "Does this situation interfere much with your regular studying habits?"
"By the time I get through reading about it in the paper, listening to the late radio reports, worrying about how my chances are to finish school before being called, whether or not I should enlist now, with some other things thrown in, I find I can't put myself to concentrating on the books like I should," was the way a college junior put his situation.
Taken as a whole, the Hill male
populace has begun worrying about the war. Although there has been a sprinkling of enlistments already, most of the men are trying to get their bearings and to find out exactly where they stand in the matter.
According to the average trend of opinion, there will probably be war enough for everyone without a rush taking place for the front row seats. "Lean back, worry, study as much as you can, and let nature take its course," is evidently the motto of most Jayhawk males.
Crowd Hears Orcutt Recital
A crowd braved the winter's first first cold snap to hear Ruth Orcutt in a piano recital in Frank Strong auditorium Monday night.
Miss Orcutt began with the Bach-Graonger "Blithe Bells" and then went into Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Handel. The second group was the whole book of Chopin's twenty-four Preludes, while the third and last consisted of piquant Spanish and Brazilian items.
First was Albeniz's "Castilla," followed with Solitudes of the Brazilian Forest by Villa-Loboz. Falla's "Ritual Fire Dance" closed the program.
Marjorie Wiley, college senior will leave for Akron, Ohio, at the end of this semester to accept a position as laboratory technician in bacteriology.
Senior Takes Research Job On Government Project
Miss Wiley will be associated with Dr. N. A. Lockwood under the auspices of the National Research Council of the University of Pennsylvania school of medicine. The research is a government project which will be conducted in the Akron City hospital.
Red Cross Asks $443,700 Fund From State
Beautiful Loretta Young is starred at the Granada Theatre in the most glamorous role of her career, that of an extremely fascinating theatrical celebrity in Columbia's "The Men in Her Life." Conrad Veidt, Dean Jagger, John Shepperd, Otto Kruger and Eugenie Leontovich are featured members of the cast. This feature will run thru Saturday.
St. Louis—(UP)—United States entry into the war brought multiplied responsibilities to Kansas' 113 Red Cross chapters, which this week began a two-fold task of raising their quotas in a Red Cross $50,000,000 American war relief fund campaign and preparing to meet increased responsibilities in their own communities in the war emergency.
Kansas chapters' quota is $443,700,
William M. Baster, Red Cross Midwestern manager, announced here.
In an expansion program begun two years ago the Red Cross now has increased to more than 1,000 the number of its trained workers stationed at all important military posts and naval stations. The Red Cross is the official welfare agency of the army and navy.
"Chapter disaster preparedness and relief committees, already organized for meeting natural disaster emergencies, will stand ready to give emergency relief in event of sabotage, fires, explosions, or other catastrophes for which civilian populations must be prepared as a war emergency measure. Chapters also will assist in plans for evacuation of civilians from bombed cities and towns."
"Kansas chapters," Baxter said, "will cooperate with the Office of Civilian Defense in providing first aid training to members of defense units which the OCD is setting up.
Women Aviators Meet to Prepare Defense Thursday
The Women's National Aeronautical association will meet at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building.
Edward E. Brush, associate professor in aeronautical engineering, will speak on "What Women Aviators Can Do in Defense." Anyone interested is invited to the meeting.
The association plans to help in the blackout planned for Lawrence next semester.
The February issue of Esquire magazine contains a story by Coach "Phog" Allen, entitled "Rotate Around the Center Jump," a basketball story written not only for the basketball player and fan but for the general readers of that magazine.
Concerned with the elimination of the center jump, doctors and cage coaches complain that the new whirlwind game runs up the blood pressure and death rate of our young basketeers. By this elimination the game has been speeded up as much as 30 per cent.
Coach Allen contends that he opposed the striking of the center jump from the rule books and offers as his solution for a return to the sanity of the game by restoring this phase of the game and rotating every man on the team to jump center.
"I vehemently protested the elimination of the center jump on the grounds that the 10 to 13-second pause of the official when putting the ball into play at center gave the players a temporary breathing spell. It also gave the spectators a mental breath."
MSC Lack Quorum In Post-Vacation Meeting
A new book, "The Administrator's Wife," has been presented to Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, for the Alumni library. The authors are G. W. Marshall, superintendent of schools in Ottawa, Clara W. Marshall, and W. W. Carpenter, professor of education at the University of Missouri.
The general theme of the book is the effect a wife can have upon the success of a school administrator. The book also considers problems of the administrator's wife.
The authors are all graduates of the University.
