Despite Loss of Key Players Huskies Still Favored
At any Big Six school but Nebraska, it would be well nigh impossible to replace such great players as Warren Alfson, Forrest Behm, Herman Rohrig, Harry Hopp, Roy Petsch, Royal Kahler, Ed Schwartzkopf, Ray Prochaska, and Bob Burruss in one season. Coach "Biff" Jones is having his hands full replacing such stars and does not figure to reach the Rose Bowl heights of last year.
However, the Cornhuskers probably are still good enough to grab the Big Six championship, and win their share of non-conference titls which include contests with Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Indiana, and Iowa. In Vike Francis, brother of All-
American Sam Francis of the 1936 team, Jones has the best fullback in the Midwest. Wayne Blue, Francis's understudy is almost as big and good.
Howard DeBus and Marvin Athey will battle it out for the quarterback berth. Both are sophomores, DeBus holding the edge at present because of his brilliant passing ability.
Veterans Dale Bradley and Allen Zikmud are the likely starters at halfback. Zikmud, a tall speedster, may develop into a great back. In the Rose Bowl against Stanford, Zikmud gave the Palo Alto boys some unpleasant moments.
will be the regular wingmen. Clarence Herndon, regular last year, will team up with Vic Schleich, letterman, to form a rugged tackle combination.
DeBus A Brilliant Passer
The loss of two all-conference guards is tough to take. George Abel, who outshone both Schwartzkopf and Alfson in the Rose Bowl, will hold down one side of the line with Herb Von Goetz, a sophomore taking care of the other side.
Two Great Guards Gone
Fred Meier, a two-year varsity letterman and partial regular, will bear the brunt of the centering duties. Meier, with Herndon, Abel, and Freston, should form the nucleus of a top-notch defensive line. Jone's chief worry is developing capable reserves to back up these stars.
Fred Preston, all Big Six end in 40, and Bo Ludwick, who isn't very far behind Preston in ability.
Defense Training Courses to Close
All courses in the Engineering Defense Training unit, which have been supervised by the University of Kansas school of engineering and architecture, will be closed by officials of the University of Kansas extension division. The deadline set for the completion and closing of these courses which were started in June has been announced as Tuesday.
Awards will be made at the all those who, according to the instructors, have satisfactorily completed the work.
New courses in October
After carefully checking the 3,750 students enrolled in the courses, it has been reported by Guy V. Keeler, director of the E.D.T. courses, and J. J. Jakosky, dean of the school of engineering and architecture, that 97 percent of that 3,750 have been upgraded in their present jobs; have found jobs if they were unemployed when the courses started; or have secured better positions in other industries.
The Aurora Borealis seen Sept. 18 was seen as far south as Bermuda.
The directors and supervisors are providing a semi-complete list of the plants and industries where there is a need for the services of those few who have not qualified under any one of the three alternatives.
Coeds must don hose at student union dances at the University of Nebraska, it has been decreed. One coed failed to cooperate, but was not "liquidated" at once. Men must wear suit coats and ties.
Preliminary proposals have been made for 96 new courses to be offered beginning in October through the Engineering, Science, Management Defense Training program. The program for 1941-42 has been expanded to include training in science and management, as well as basic courses in defense training. These courses are to be directed by the University extension division, and supervised by the school of engineering and architecture, the school of business, and the physics and chemistry departments.
E. D.T. classes have been conducted in Atchison, Coffeyville, El Dorado, Hutchinson, Kansas City, Parsons, Pittsburg, Salina, Topeka, and Wichita; and in St. Joseph, Joplin, and Kansas City, Mo.
K.U. To Conduct Two-Day Forum
The University of Kansas will conduct a two-day forum for adult leaders of Christian youth groups, September 26 and 27. Registration will be in the main lobby of the Memorial Union building, from 8:30 a.m. until 10 a.m.
All sessions will be held in the Union building. Reservations for the banquet to be held at 6:30 Friday evening in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building must be made by Thursday evening. Places can be reserved by calling K.U. 190. Price of a banquet ticket is fifty-one cents.
Williams Appointed To Geology Fellowship
The program which is planned is designed to give Christian Leaders a better understanding of youth needs, and how they may be fulfilled; also what the Christian leaders are trying to accomplish in this chaotic world.
The United States has never had a commercial treaty with Mexico.
The Kansas Public Service Company, and the Kansas Electric Power Co., both of Lawrence, are sponsoring a fellowship in the department of petroleum geology at the University of Kansas, for the purpose of investigating the permeability of concrete walls to natural gas, Dr. Eugene A. Stephenson, chairman of the department has announced.
John Williams, Tonganoxie, a senior in the department of engineering and architecture, has been appointed to the fellowship, and his work will be supervised by Doctor Stephenson, and by Dr. R. C. Moore, of the department of geology.
Baker Announces Personnel Changes
Changes in library personnel have been announced by Charles M. Baker, director of libraries.
Miss Leva Lash replaces Mrs. Margaret Walker, who resigned, as order librarian; Miss Rebekah Oldfather is the new periodical librarian, replacing Mrs. Bury Dalton Murphy who resigned. Charles Dalrymple resigned his position to attend library school. Miss Anna Mueller will be assistant at the main desk, Miss Esther M. Norman has charge of the department libraries, and Mrs. Laura H. McGuire assumes charge of the biology desk.
A door-to-door canvass of every farm in the United States will be completed by December 1, in an effort to speed up production of foods for 1942.
ACTIVITY BOOKS But Those Pictures!
The sleepy boys are now ready for the next event in line—losing their activity books for the first time, and ensuing complications. They'll do it every time.
Bureau of Mines Official to Lecture Here October 2
Oren Bingham, photographer, five reports that five of these pictures are made for each student and finished, at the rate of 10,000 prints per day. The other four prints are used on the records in the various offices where records are kept of the individual student.
G. W. Kintz, of the United States bureau of mines, will give a demonstration and lecture at the University October 2, on explosive mixtures of gases.
"O.K., we'll be back later."
The picture, taken of each student at the time of enrollment, looked more like it should be for the files of the warden of Sing Sing. There is a number under the picture of each student which is his identifying number in the school in which he is enrolled.
"O.K., we'll be back later."
The two sleepy chaps made their way down the Hill and after ransacking through stacks of receipts resurrected the small green slip which entitled them to their activity books. After the tedious climb back they at last succeeded in getting their passport to all student activities for the semester but were horrified at the picture on the cover of the book.
"You most certainly do," came the crisp reply of the attendant.
OH WELL—HOHUM
Two young men quite weary from their walkout escapades of the previous night staggered up to the desk in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall to get their activity books this morning. "Your receipt please."
The appearance will be sponsored by the department of petroluem engineering, of which Dr. E. A. Stephenson is chairman. It will serve as a joint meeting of the student sections of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, the American Institute of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of Civil Engineers, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
"Ho-hum. What! Do you have to have your receipt?"
Oil Fellowships Renewed for Year
A fellowship begun last year at the University for the purpose of an objective study of the optimum producing rates for oil wells producing from the Arbuckle limestone has been renewed by the Phillips Petroleum Co., the Cities Service Co., and the Stanolind Oil and Gas Co., it was announced today by Dr. E. A. Stephenson of the department of petroleum engineering. P. T. Amstutz, Wooster, Ohio, formerly an engineer with the Phillips Petroleum Co., has been reappointed for the fellowship.
Armed Vessels—

000,000 which the Army got but officials estimate minimum needs now at $1,000,000,000 more.
The meits urgently sought with those funds art tanks, anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft artillery, those five-inch guns which are ideal armament for merchant vessels because they can be used, as well, against surface and submarine raiders.
Mr. Roosevelt in press conference yesterday referred to President Wilson's World War experience as the latest of several precedents establishing executive authority to put the guns aboard vessels. Wilson at noon March 4, 1917, blocked legislative authorization. On April 6, 1917 Congress declared a state of war to exist with Germany.
It has not been determined whether the $1,000,000,000 (B) of new emergency funds will be sought along with the second $5,985,000,000 (B) lend-lease appropriation or come up in a big supplemental War Department appropriation. But the Army's program would tighten the gun bottleneck which already is a factor in providing American-owned ships with modern weapons.
