University Lauded for Defense Work
Congratulations to the University for its administration of Engineering Defense Training courses sponsored by the U. S. Office of Education, were expressed this week by Fred Kelly, chief of the division of higher education in the U. S. Office of Education.
4400 Complete Course
The record of the University, with more than 4400 young men having completed the training or now being enrolled for the courses, and the high percentage of placements and upgradings in defense industries, is an outstanding achievement, Kelly said. He was in Lawrence discussing with University authorities and heads of other Kansas colleges and universities the program of Civilian Morale Service which is being set up by the U. S. Office of Education.
More than 110,000 young men have received the defense training or are now enrolled in the classes, Kelly said. Of the universities and the colleges throughout the United States who have been supervising the courses, the University of Kansas ranks eighth in the number of enrollees.
No Government Interference
"We have had a very gratifying record of upgrading and placements." Kelly pointed out. "Few take the courses who do not click. Letters from defense industries employing the men have been most gratifying. One chief reason is that specific courses have been arranged for specific problems. Another reason has been that throughout the whole program, the Government has been most conscientious in placing the responsibility for the courses upon the universities themselves, and has evaded any possibility of government interference."

Play Attendance Below Average
Despite a full house last night the closing performance attendance at "Mary of Scotland" was far below average, Prof. Allen Crafton department of speech and dramatic art, disclosed this morning.
"I can't account for it." Crafton said. "Four years ago the average attendance was from 2800 to 3000. Only last year 2000 to 2200 saw each play. Attendance for all three nights of "Mary of Scotland" was between 1700 and 2000."
Scenery and costumes used in the play were loaded and sent to Dodge City by truck last night at 11 o'clock. The cast, in private cars, left this morning at 8 o'clock.
Fewer students than usual saw the play, Crafton said. Student interest in the play seemed to be lacking altogether until last night, when many were turned away after the house was filled. The season ticket sale among non-students is only slightly below that of past years, he observed.
