Navy To Recruit Here Tuesday
A mass meeting for seniors and graduates interested in obtaining information on the Naval Reserve officer's training program for 1941 will be held in Fowler shops at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Bill Grant, ensign, United States Naval Reserve of Kansas City, and several others, recent graduates of the Naval Reserve Officer's Training Course, will be present to supply information on the course
The U.S. Navy plans to enroll and train 4,900 college graduates as ensigns, U.S. Naval Reserve, for deck or engineering duties this fall. Enlistment for these N.R.O.T.C. courses will begin immediately.
The course consists of four months intensive instruction, starting about Sept. 18, at three officer's schools. The facilities of Northwestern University, the Prairie State, New York Cty, and the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland will be used for their instruction.

Deaf Mutes Learn To Hear By Sight And Speak by Feel
Indianapolis, Ind.—(UP)—Indiana has one of the most modern schools in the nation equipped to overcome deafness among children and enable them to take a normal place in society. The school is one of three or four in the country employing a new technique and its achievements are being closely watched by other states
Children enter the free state school as first graders and must learn to "hear" by reading lips and to speak by shaping words with their mouths and training the voices many never realized they had.
The basis of the system begins by association of written words with objects. Pupils then are taught how vowels and consonants are formed by the lips. The children shape the vowels and consonants into words. At the same time, they are also learning "the Three R's."
The students, numbering approximately 460, have a difficult task because many have never known what words are although most deaf people have normal vocal cords.
When the primary, intermediate and high school grades are finished, the pupils lack of hearing is almost overcome. However, since they cannot hear, their voices usually are flat, lacking the full inflection of normal conversation.
Dime Novel

Sour Owl Goes
Gruesome
When interviewed, the editor of the publication, one Ed Garich, opened one eye and said that he considered this his most nauseating issue.
Blood will flow and shrieks and moans will be the order of the day Tuesday, when the Sour Owl, campus humor magazine, presents its version of a dime novel.
"This is by far our most ambitious undertaking this year, as you can probably tell by the length my tongue is hanging out," he continued. "If you sleep well after reading this, I don't blame you."
Embellished with the snazzy title of Grusome Stories, the issue will feature bloodcurdling stories, eery cartoons and wierd ads.
Of interest to all will be the absolutely final installment of that serial to end all, "Me and Joe and Beulah."
Two new class sections of the University's defense training program are now underway, A. H. Sluss, professor of machine construction, said yesterday.
Among the famous authors to be featured are Philo Phlannelmouth, Susie Fuffga, Homer Homicide, Bill Fey, and Gray Dorsey. Art work is by Ben Mantz, Margie Hagstrom and Don Fitzgerald.
The defense student classes, composed of young men from Lawrence and the surrounding area, are being trained in Fowler shops at government expense for positions as skilled machinists.
Thirty men are enrolled, most of whom are from Jefferson and Leavenworth counties, Sluss said. Governmental requirements make it necessary to pick 65 percent of the quota from rural districts and the remainder from cities. The National Defense council provides funds for the training courses.
New classes in the nine-week course began Monday. One section goes to work at 5 p.m. and the other takes over at midnight. Work periods are $6\frac{1}{2}$ hours, with 30 minutes off for lunch.
The urban quota and the midnight class are not filled yet, Sluss said.
