CAA Extends Pilot Training At Airport
An extension of the University's pilot training program to include training for commercial and instructor's licenses was announced yesterday by Prof. Earl D. Hay, head of the local branch of the Civil Pilot Training program.
The introduction of this new course gives CAA student fliers their first opportunity to get free training which will qualify them for instructor or commercial examinations. Previously, even the most advanced fliers have not been eligible for these examinations.
The new course, consisting of 120 hours of cross-country training, will begin within two weeks, Don Ashcraft, flying instructor at the municipal airport, said.
Students who have completed the student instruction course are eligible for enrollment in the advanced training.
The Naval Reserve Flight Selection board from Fairfax airport at Kansas City, Kan., gave physical examinations to 60 University men Thursday and Friday.
NUMBER 134.
Examine 60 Men For Air Service
Lieutenant Commander Wright Lieutenant Robinson. and Ensign Denman were the naval officers who made the examinations.
The number of men who passed the examinations has not been disclosed, but Lieutenant Robinson, medical officer, said that they found a "rather high percentage of physically fit men."
Students who missed the exams this time, but who are interested should turn in their names at Watkins hospital. If sufficient interest is shown, Lieutenant Robinson said that the board would return in May to conduct another examination. Those who do not wish to wait can take the examination if they will report to the board at Fairfax airport.
The End M. S.C.Makes Last Stand
The last meeting of the present Men's Student Council will be held in the Pine room of the Union building at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Plans will be made for installation of the new council. New Council members will be installed May 1.
In Shorts and Slacks Take Over Hill
(The Kansan sent a male reporter over to Robinson gymnasium yesterday to get the man angle on the Play Day for high school girls. The reporter wishes his identity kept secret.)
One hundred and seventy-five pairs of shorts and slacks took over the gymnasium yesterday, and from a man's point of view, that's a terrible shock when it all comes so suddenly.
It isn't hard to imagine just how the old gym felt after such a strentuous session of athletics to see so many hunks of femininity climbing its stairs with square dancing on their minds.
The new schedule calls for an afternoon broadcast from 2:30 to 3:30 daily Monday through Friday. The station will be on the air Monday evenings from 7:00 to 7:55; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 7:55, and on Friday evenings from 6 to 6:30.
Confidently, they lacked the old hay-mow surroundings to get them organized because after a couple of turns they looked like a whole season of a rabbit family turned loose and on a rampage. It's easy to understand that men are needed to keep women under control.
Man to man, the women will never take over athletics. Anyone could
As in the past, time will be allotted the station for special broadcasts of importance.
Kansan Journalists Publish K.C. Kansan
From Kansan to Kansan. But it's the Kansas City Kansan that twelve journalism students put out yesterday. Accompanied by Siegfried Mickelson and E. F. Beth, assistant professors of journalism, the students left at 7 o'clock yesterday morning to take over the duties of the regular Kansas City Kansan staff. They issued both the Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning editions of the paper.
The broadcasting program of KF-KU will undergo wholesale changes this week in order to conform to a new daylight saving time schedule, which goes into effect in many sections of the country today.
It was announced that under the new program, the station's total time on the air will be slightly increased.
Students making the trip were Gabe Parks, Maurice Jackson, George Sitterley, A. O'Donnell, Don Pierce, Lillian Fisher, Eleanor Van Nice, Margaret Hyde, Kay Bozarth, John Harvey, Glee Smith and Dave Whitney.

And, fellows, they still talk no matter what they are doing. Not only did they talk, but they kept up chat- (continued to page eight)

Approximately 175 students and teachers from eleven surrounding high schools thronged Robinson gymnasium yesterday when the 19th annual Jayhawk Play Day for this district, sponsored by the Women's Athletic Association, was held.

Climax of the day's festivities was the selection of the posture (continued to page eight)

Crooning sweetly, Hill fraternities will sing for silver at the annual inter-fraternity sing in Hoch auditorium at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

Today's will be the seventh annual inter-fraternity sing. The sing was begun in 1926 and then discontinued for several years. The tradition was revived in 1934 by Phi Mu Alpha, honorary music fraternity.

Ride 60 Miles Invite Ratner To Celebration
Over 60 miles had been traveled by horseback yesterday when 17 members of the University equitation classes returned to Lawrence from Topeka, where they delivered a personal invitation from Chancellor Deane Malott to Governor Payne Ratner to attend the University's Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration in June.
The troop followed army tactics on the journey, alternating between walking and trotting. The Kansas State Highway patrol, which met the group near Tesumseh and served as an escort, estimated the speed of the riders to be five miles per hour.
Leaving here about 7 o'clock Friday morning, the equestarians, carrying the United States flag and University emblem, arrived in Topeka nine hours later. On gaily decorated mounts they rode up Ninth street to the statehouse, circled the building and stopped on the south plaza. Margaret Butler, college freshman, presented the letter to Governor Ratner on the steps.
On the trip there were two more riders than horses, permitting the riders to change and ride in the station wagon if they desired. The station wagon contained provisions for horses and lunch for riders.
The group lunched near Teumseh (continued to page eight)
The first of a series of five lectures on marital problems will be given tonight by Mrs. G. H. Groves, director of Marriage and Family council, at 7:00 in the Memorial Union building.
The subject of Mrs. Groves' first talk will be "Pre-marital Adjustments." The lecture will be open to the entire student body, but attendance at the following four meetings will be subject to the payment of a registration fee.
Marital Lectures Begin Tonight
Although the series of lectures will compose the third annual marriage seminar to be held on the Hill, this will be the first in which Mrs. Groves has taken part. She has long been recognized as one of the country's leading authorities on the subject.

Appendicitis
Dr. W. Henry Merritt of Denver, assistant physician of the Student Health Service at Watkins Memorial hospital, underwent an appendectomy at the hospital yesterday. Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, reported his condition as good this morning.
"That the operation was performed immediately after the attack." Dr. Canuteson said today, "shows that doctors practice what they preach."
