Red Cross Calls For Dollars No Certain Deferment For Students
'Subject To Call,' Cameron
No promising junior or senior graduating in a field of great need will be called to duty.
NUMBER 66
"There is no occupational deferment from service in the Army," said Bruce Cameron, head of the local draft board, yesterday.
In deciding such cases the board must weigh two considerations. First it must ask, "Will this student's deferment materially aid the nation's war effort." And it must also remember the government's stipulation that "patriotic common sense will govern" the board's deliberations.
All drafted students — doctors, chemists, or engineers, are subject to this nation-wide order, Cameron said. Each application for deferment is considered upon individual merits, and the demand for workers in the field of his major.
The No.4 parking lot has been closed to student and faculty automobiles by a recent ruling of the University traffic rules committee, according to an announcement from the Chancellor's office.
"At present, regulations change almost weekly, but the rule remains: No set occupational deferment. Doctor, chemist, or engineer, each must present his case—and accept the verdict."
University authorities emphasized that students effected by the new ruling are not to leave their cars parked at the curbs of principal campus roads.
The lot effected is located behind Marvin hall. Students holding parking permits for this lot will be allowed to leave their automobiles at the new lot on the road leading to the rock crusher behind Snow hall.
There is no certain deferment for any able-bodied student, but all students who are deferred, must enter plants or laboratories engaged in national defense work.
Close No.4 Parking Lot
The ruling was made because of building activity near the old parking space.
Second Co-op For Women Opens Soon
The University is to have another women's co-op dormitory in the near future, Genevieve Harman, president of the Kaw Koettes, announced today. The location of the house has not been definitely decided upon, but it will be within close walking distance of the Hill.
Anyone wishing additional details may see Genevieve Harman. Application blanks may be secured from Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser of women.
This new co-op will accommodate 20 girls and will have either a housemother or houseparents. The girls will manage and furnish the house themselves. Work in the dormitory will be apportioned in the same manner as at other co-ops.
Navy Calls for University Men Hill Enlistments High
More students from the University of Kansas have taken advantage of the new V-7 naval reserve program than from any other school in Kansas.
This new ruling of the United States navy permits junior and senior students enrolled in work toward bachelor of arts, science, law, and business administration to complete their study if they enlist in the service now for the duration of the war.
Letters were sent this week calling the upperclassmen's attention to this opportunity for continuing their school work.

The students will enlist in the reserve training which leads to the rank of midshipman. They are not called into active service until after they receive their degrees, except for short training periods during the summer months.
If the student should fail to receive his degree he will enter the service as an ordinary seaman. However, if he receives the degree he will enter the officer training school for a 4-months course.
Each student is required to be of junior or senior classification in
school, must be 19 years of age or more, must have parents consent if a minor, and must upon graduation have taken at least two semesters of mathematics, including a course in trigonometry.
Those enlisting must first pass a physical examination before being accepted.
Schedule Proofs May Be Examined All students who will be back on the Hill next semester and who wish to plan their course for that time may examine the galley proofs of the new class schedule in the college office, Dean Paul B. Lawson announced this morning.
'Investigate Tucker and Layton' ★★★ ★★★
Phog Calls For Big Six Probe
Allen is writing Dr. H. H. King, chairman of the Big Six faculty committee, and Mike Ahearn, Kansas State athletic director, to request for an immediate meeting of the committee to clarify the eligibility of these two Sooner athletes.
Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Kansas' staunch basketball mentor made known his intentions this morning to call for a meeting of the Big Six faculty fathers to consider the eligibility of Gerald Tucker and Lester Layton, both University of Oklahoma athletes.
In reply to Allen's accusations yesterday of Oklahoma's subsidization of its athletes, Jap Haskell, Oklahoma athletic director, admitted the Sooner school had sent many of its football players to the professional ranks and added that he believed "in dealing the cards above the table."
'Phog' insists that since Haskell has dealt the cards, he will force the Oklahoma to "show his hand by laying his cards on the table."
COACH JAP HASKELL .swings back at Phog
Allen wants to know why Lester Layton, who he says is living at the home of Bruce Drake, Sooner basketball coach, should be allowed to play amateur baseball in the Big
Six while he is, Allen charges, in the pay of the Boston Red Sox.
Allen contends that Tucker, around whom the eligibility controversy has revolved all this week, should not be allowed to play the last semester of his senior year, since he has already played in five games this semester although later declared ineligible by the Big Six.
When the Oklahoma basketball team made a road trip East before the conference began, Tucker played without having the Big Six committee's passing on his eligibility. Now the faculty fathers have decided Tucker, under the "migrant athlete" ruling shall be allowed five semesters of varsity competition at Oklahoma.
In view of this ruling, and in view of the fact that Tucker has played in five games this semester, although they were non-conference games, Allen believes this semester should be included in the five of Tuckers eligibility, since non-conference contests count as competition.
Student Drive To Raise Money For Emergency
Independents are especially urged by the student committee to make use of this medium of giving, for students living in organized houses are contributing through the house.
Students will have an opportunity to contribute toward their Red Cross goal of $500 tomorrow and Friday when Jay Janes circulate over the campus with Red Cross containers.
The faculty drive began the week before Christmas.
"University students who are fortunate enough to be allowed to continue their education and are
Prof. E. C. Buehler, faculty adviser to the committee, states that this is the first drive of its kind on the campus in 23 years, and that the emergency war drive goal of Douglas county for the first World War was $100,000.
"If the faculty members who haven't yet contributed will cooperate in some manner as those who have contributed have done, the drive will go over the top in a hurry," Prof. E. C. Buchler, chairman of the drive, said today.
Faculty contributions amounting to $625 have been received by the Red Cross faculty committee, leaving $175 yet to go to reach the $800 goal.
not serving in the active forces should be willing to do their part toward helping their country," said Fred Robertson, chairman of the student drive.
"Every student can afford to give the cost of a couple of packages of cigarettes or a movie to this cause," Robertson added.
The emergency nature of the present drive causes the goal to be set higher than that of the annual Red Cross drive, but it still does not approach the first World War goal, Buehler said.
Chubb, Randle Crash At Intersection
A collision involving two automobiles, one driven by Kenneth Randle, sophomore engineer, and the other by H. B. Chubb, professor of history, occurring at the intersection of Fourteenth and Kentucky during the noon hour today resulted in slight damage only.
The Randle car received a damaged front wheel and brake rod. The Chubb automobile received only scratches. The two drivers were the only occupants of the cars.
