R.O.T.C. Receives Garand Rifle For Instruction
One of the Army's new basic rifles, the Garand, was received by the University's department of military science and tactics this morning.
The Garand, which is gas operated, will be used for instructional work for two weeks and will then be shipped to another R.O.T.C. unit.
This new rifle will eventually replace the 30-30 Springfield
model of 1903, it is expected.
The Garand is only one of the new weapons adopted by the War department. The newest type weapon to be adopted is the Winchester carbine which will largely replace the 45 caliber pistol among infantry troops. Other branches of the service will replace the pistol with the carbine to an extent consistent with their mission in combat.
When plans for the use of this new weapon are put into effect, the offensive fire-power of the infantry regiment will be increased by nearly 33 per cent. At present our infantry regiment has 2,099 men armed with the Garand service rifle and 1,181 with the pistol. Of the latter number, 973 will be armed with the new carbine. Thus the pistol—essentially a defensive weapon—will be replaced by the carbine, a weapon that can be used either offensively or defensively.
The new carbine is seven and one half inches shorter and almost four pounds lighter than the basic Garand rifle.
Though gas operated like the Garand, the Winchester carbine works on a new principle that takes the gas off much closer to the chamber before it cools. This prevents carbonizing of the piston.
Garand Not For Here
The return of open warfare to the modern battlefield, the development of highly mobile fighting units and the employment of stock forces such as the parachutists and airborne troops, have made troops behind the lines extremely vulnerable. Officers feel that the replacement of the pistol with the carbine where practicable is the most effective counter-measure and certainly adds protection.
It is not likely that the 30-30 Springfields, model of 1903, will be replaced for the local unit of the R.O.T. C. until after the present emergency and the new carbine will probably never be used for drill work here, but rather for instructional purposes as soon as mass production can begin.
Dirty Work Going On At Bailey
Students; for your information, those guys working over in front of Bailey Chemical laboratories are not removing all of that dirt in order to build an ice-skating rink, feasible as such a scheme might prove.
There have been a number of questions asked about what was taking place; and the workmen might appreciate a general announcement that the dirt, which is being taken out, will be replaced by more fertile soil in order that grass may grow better in front of the building.
One workman stated that 17 students had asked so far this morning, "what is taking place."
Another worker insists that the curious did not number 17 students, his assertion being that it was 16 students—and a blond.
Dr. Ralph Canutesor Returns Home From Radiology Course
Returning yesterday from the University of Minnesota, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of University health service, reported that the session of the Radiology continuation course which he has been attending for the last three days, was devoted to the diagnosis of chest diseases by various methods of X-Ray.
Much of the course was given to discussion of the use of small films in chest survey, he said. The army uses 4 by 5 inch film and the navy uses 35 mm. films for survey purposes only.
Football broadcast at 1:30 tomorrow in Memorial Union.

The medallion is given each year to the senior having an outstanding scholastic record for the previous academic year.
Ed Young
Before the presentation, Justin Hill, superintendent of the Lawrence Paper company, spoke to the 75 students and faculty members regarding problems of his calling.
Pinch of national priorities has not yet been felt in the paper box field. Hill told his audience, and added that business in recent months has increased greatly. The speaker pointed out that only five per cent of his company's output was for national defense.
Because of conflicting meetings at the Memorial Union building, the Symposium, open forum group, will not hold its panel discussion scheduled for Sunday.
Postpone Meeting Of First Symposium
John Waggoner, who is in charge of the group, reported that the discussion on "Should Student Labor Organize?" would be planned for some future date.
