Give Partial Credit to Enlistees Jayhawkers Open Against Denver Tonight
STUDENT DRAFT
☆ ☆ ☆
Applies Only For Present Semester
A plan to provide partial credit to University students withdrawing from school to enter military service before the end of the first semester was approved by University authorities today and sanctioned by the chairman of the Board of Regents.
The plan adopted makes the following provisions:
Because some students already have withdrawn from the University to enter service, and others are considering withdrawal before the end of the term, such a plan was thought necessary.
A student withdrawing from the University after Dec. 7 for entrance into the armed forces of the United States shall receive credit in each course proportional to the time he continues work in the course. Calculation of credit in each course shall be to the nearest one-half hour of work completed.
Grade Without Examination
In order to receive partial credit in a course in accordance with the above plan, the student must be doing passing work in the course, and the grade shall be determined by the instructor without giving a special examination.
A student who wishes to make the necessary preparation and take an examination over the whole course may receive full credit in the course if he passes the examination satisfactorily.
In order to receive partial credit a student must show that he has entered the armed forces within ten days after his withdrawal from the University, except that a student withdrawing during the Christmas recess shall have until Jan. 15 to enter the service.
There will be no midweek in the Memorial Union ballroom tonight.
Affects This Semester Only
What will be done by the University for succeeding semesters will depend upon a statement from Washington concerning the desirability of college students interrupting or discontinuing their studies to enter military service.
In announcing the plan, faculty authorities stated that they had no wish to either encourage or discourage students in their decisions to leave school to enter the armed forces of the country. The plan is made to accommodate those students who enter the service at once.
Students interested in details of the plan are asked to confer with James K. Hitt, assistant registrar. The plan applies only to the present semester.

W.S.G.A. Organizes Women's War Work
Responding to a demand from women students for war work in the national emergency, the Women's Self-Governing Association has appointed a committee to consider work women can do for defense.
The committee has drawn up a three-point program of letter-writing to all University graduates in the service. Red Cross first aid, and knitting.
The program for organized women's services will begin next semester, and will include all University women.
Salvation Army Asks Contributions For Xmas Baskets
To aid in the preparation of 125 Christmas baskets for the annual distribution to needy families the Salvation Army is asking donors to contribute.
Organizations or individuals who wish to "adopt" a family for the Christmas season may obtain a list of the needy families from Capt. Olin Brigman at Army headquarters. It is possible that more than 125 baskets will be needed, for many requests for aid are being received. Three dollars will prepare an average market basket.
Red Cross Sets Student Quota at $500
"The casualties suffered by the armed forces of the United States in the first week of the war demonstrates the need for immediate expansion of the Red Cross program. I am sure that students and faculty of the University will show their wholehearted support of the government by over-scribing the quota set in the Red Cross American War Relief Demand."—Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Fred Robertson, college senior, was appointed by the Red Cross student committee to head the student branch of the emergency war relief drive for the Red Cross. The student quota is $500.
Robertson and his committee will meet with Prof. E. C. Bueh-
ler, chairman of the entire drive, tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. The student drive will be launched immediately after Christ- (continued to page eight)
"Empty Saddles," sung by baritone Leslie Breidenthal and whistled by June Paulk, with band accompaniment, was another favorite with the audience.

Modernistic Theme Pleases Audience
BY LACY HAYNES
The modernistic theme in band music caught the fancy of an audience of more than 2,500 persons at the annual University Band concert in Hoch auditorium last night. Throughout the hour and a half program, listeners were treated to both classical and popular band arrangements, but it was the popular music that really aroused the Glenn
The Jayhawk Trumpeteers, Herbert Miller, Robert Cater, and Wallace Kunkel, captured the high mood of the audience when they played the "A La Moderne" arrangement of the old standby, "Annie Laurie." A saxophone quintet composed of Paul Evans, Walter Martie, Joe Holt, Bill Desjardines, and Jim Holyfield played elevated swing under the name, "Modern Fantasy," a medley of three pieces, "Whispering," "Moonlight and Roses," and "Delores."
After this flag-waver finish, the audience called Russell L. Wiley, director of the band, back on the stage for three curtain calls, and finally left after the band played the "Alma Mater."
that really aroused the Glenn Miller-fan majority.
The patriotic element of the program came first with two band numbers, "America, I Love You," and"I Am An American." The new number, "America," a patriotic tone poem, was an effective and stirring finale for the concert. The band, sixteen singers picked from both the A Capella Choir and the Glee Club, and the organ joined in the finale.

To Lawyers ★★★
Give Degree
Twenty-five law students are affected by a new state supreme court ruling that all law students who will have completed their courses Sept. 1, but are called into service before that time, will be admitted to the Kansas bar. Other requirements must be met, however.
The ruling states that petition for admission to the bar "will be acted upon promptly by the court if it is found that the petitioner is qualified to take the regular examination for admission to the bar in all respects except that he has not completed all of the last year of his legal studies."
F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, pointed out that the move was a worthy concession for the court to make in the interest of defense.
Athletic Board Meets To Approve Schedule
The athletic board will meet late today to approve the 1942 football schedule and the awarding of letters to the 1941 football squad.
More K. U. Calendars To Arrive Tomorrow
Shipment of an additional supply of KU. calendars for 1942 from Chicago has been assured. They will arrive in time to go on sale tomorrow, T. C. Ryther, director of the University press, said today.

Kansas Rates Favorite Over Tall Visitors
By CHUCK ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
Height and lack of poise will battle fundamentals and experience when the Pioneer quintet from Denver University pairs off against the Jayhawkers at 7:30 o'clock tonight in Hoch auditorium in the opening game of the 1941-42 basketball season.
The starting line-up the Pioneers will place on the floor will average six feet, two inches. Three of the

starting five are taller than the tallest man in the Jayhawk's opening team.
The average height of Kansas will be six-feet one and one-half inches. None of the players are under six feet and the tallest is T. P. Hunter, six-foot three inch guard who has been named game captain for tonight.
More Experience
Offsetting this small height advantage enjoyed by the Pioneers, the Jayhawks will have an overwhelming edge in experience. The entire starting line-up will consist of lettermen, whereas two of Denver's line-up will be playing their first season of varsity ball.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, wily coach of the Jayhawks, decided to start an all-veteran team tonight to give his high-
strung sophomores a chance to settle down and not be too nervous when they enter the game.
Students attending the game tonight must present activity books along with game tickets at the gate.
Veterans of the opening five in point of experience are Ralph "Cappy" Miller, forward, and Hunter. Both players are two-letter men. Miller did not play last year, resting his injured knee, but lettered in '39 and '40. Two years ago in his junior year he was second high scorer in the Big Six while playing with his injured knee. This year, his first of intercol-
