Diamond Jubilee Will Begin Here In Four Weeks
In garb of the Civil War era, Mt. Oread a few weeks from today will be the mecca of a multitude of Kansans celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of their University. June 5 to 9.
An 1866 drug store, demonstrations in chemistry, a modern respirator which has been designed by the University of Kansas Hospitals in Kansas City, and the Engineering Exposition will be other highlights to show the progress of the past 75 years.
The 1866 atmosphere will be accomplished by horse-head hitching posts and imitation gas lights along campus drives. Old-fashioned gas lights with cross arms will be fitted on the lamp posts. Sixty University women acting as guides and hostesses will exemplify the period of 75 years ago by wearing gowns of that day.
Entrada is Added Attraction
The city of Lawrence will sponsor an antique and hobby show in downtown windows in connection with the celebration.
Because 1941 is the 400th anniversary of the coming of the first white man into territory that now is Kansas, a spectacular pageant, the Coronado Entrada, will be shown in the Memorial Stadium on two nights, June 5 and 6. The Entrada is a show having a stage 300 feet long and 65 feet deep. The setting will represent valleys and mountain sides which rise as high as 35 feet in some places.

School for Girls Men Go To Army
"School for Girls, and Young Ones under Draft Age"—that's what will happen to us women if they lower the military age requirement. What shall we do? We wouldn't want to go to the University of Arkansas—to be near Camp Robinson. We wouldn't want to transfer to Northwestern to be near Ft. Sheridan or Rantoul, Ill., because we wouldn't want to leave our Alma Mater.
Let's propose to have an army
Defense Students Inspect Plants
Students enrolled in the national defense courses offered in connection with the School of Engineering went on an inspection trip Thursday to industrial concerns in Kansas City, Mo.
Plants visited were the Union Wire Rope company, the Ford assembly plant, the Butler Manufacturing company, the Sheffield Steel company, and Sivalls and Bryson an engineering firm.
What's to Be Done?
Faculty members making the trip were F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering and director of the defense work here; E. D. Kinney, associate professor of mining and metallurgical engineering; and J. F. Headrick, assistant instructor of applied mechanics
camp situated right outside Lawrence. Better still, let's have military training in some degree for women. We may as well learn to do something helpful—be ambulance drivers, fire fighters, tower watchers, just in case—you know—nothing specific—just in case.
Besides wouldn't it be swell to be able to continue our education and serve our country at the same time? Absolutely ideal. If we did have a camp near the campus some of our boys who have been striving and working for year and years toward their degrees would be able to finish up right here and wouldn't have to worry with three or four hours by correspondence—trying to fit study time into full camp-day activities. If a camp were established here it could be especially arranged to include a certain number of academic hours, (few enough that military training would not be interrupted noticeably).
Enough of this wishful thinking—but shucks, a "School for Girls and Young Ones under Draft Age" just doesn't have it.
