George Discusses Dogs Campus Cop
Mugzy, Mazy, Corky, and Buster were the general topics of conversation this morning when George Snyder, bespectacled campus cop, paused to discuss the canine world.
George is more than a man in blue-serge who slaps red tags on Hill jallopies. He is a campus pal to some 4,000 student. And he is a dog lover.
"I always did sorta hang toward dogs. Kinda liked horses, too, but I never rode 'em, just drove teams and liked to have 'em around," George related.
"What kind of dogs did I raise? I started out with bull terriers but—say, you know, collies are mighty nice to have around. I had several that got pretty blamed old before they died. Mazy was about 16 and Corky—he's still living—is around 13. Mugzy was 17 before he died but that's a little too old."
George, warming to his subject, paused every now and then to wave at some student who yelled his name from across the street. He doesn't talk about himself, but he's a regular news-caster when it comes to dogs.
It seems to hurt George to think that people can't slow down these days and take time to pet a dog, let alone owning one. Speaking of Corky, he said, "You know, that dog minded better than a lot of the kids on this Hill."
Then, "We nearly lost Corky last week," he said sadly. "One of my horses kicked him and put him out—cold. It took a lot of coaxing to bring him out of it, and when he came to he looked up at me as if to say, "George, did you do that to me?"
George meant it. Anyone would know he did. Anyone could see why he is the campus pal of some 4,000 students.
Twente Will Plan Extension Course
J. W. Twente, professor of education, will go to Kansas City tomorrow to meet with Roscoe V Shores, assistant superintendent of the Kansas City, Mo., schools and other administrators. They will plan an extension course in connection with the Missouri schools.
Dr. Twente, George B. Smith, dean of the school of education; Bert A. Nash, professor of education; and Mr. John E. Jacobs, principle of the Lawrence junior high school, will go to Iola Saturday to attend a teachers' institute. The topic to be discussed in panel discussions is, 'What's a Head For.'
Donnell Sets Date For Thanksgiving Same as Roosevelt
Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 25. (UP)—Republican Gov. Forrest C Donnell went along with Democratic President Roosevelt today in announcing that Missouri's Thanksgiving date will be Nov. 20.
Donnell pointed out that the state and nation next year will return to the traditional last Thursday in November for Thanksgiving.
Grant First Education Doctorate
Roy W. Browning, a graduate student in education, is the first student in the University to complete the work for the degree doctor of education, it was learned today from the office of the School of Education.
Although John P. Sheffield, also a graduate student in education, has completed his doctorate work as well. Browning was the first to turn in his. Browning's thesis is entitled "A Handbook for Use of School Administrators and Teachers of the Social Studies in Senior High Schools." That both degrees are expected to be voted upon when the faculty meets in October was the contention expressed by Miss Mateel Rich, secretary in the Education office.
The degree doctor of education differs slightly from the doctor of philosophy award in that it emphasizes the application of existing knowledge and procedures to practical school situations. The degrees are, however, entirely equal in quality. The education requirements demand three years of successful teaching experience, as well as the satisfaction of certain of five particular skills, for which a choice is determined by the program of the individual graduate student.
Browning is employed as field supervisor in the National Youth Administration at Topeka. His work covers counties in northeastern Kansas.
Seven students of the School of Fine Arts were presented this afternoon in recital in Frank Strong auditorium.

Improvement Work Begins at City Airport
The Lawrence municipal airport is now in the midst of a $15,000 improvement program, which was made possible by the passage of a Lawrence bond issue.
Among improvements is the installation of permanent floodlights, as well as border and landing lights on the field, for use in night-flying instruction being given University CAA students. Temporary installations were used during the summer courses.
Also on the improvement list are the hangars. Additional floor space is being made in the larger hangar to meet increasing demands for hangar facilities, while completely equipped machine shops are being built in the smaller hangar.
A new administration building is also under construction. When completed, this building will house CAA offices and will be the headquarters of field officials.

According to George B. Smith, dean of the school of education, "the members of the faculty of the School of Education agree that the name Oread training school no longer carries the significance as a description of the functions of the institution to which it is applied. "It is felt that the name University High School should be substituted, as that name is commonly applied to a secondary school which is a functional part of a university school of education, and as it implies much more clearly the type of institution which we hope to develop at the University of Kansas." The new name was given Sept. 18, 1941.
