Defense Courses Attract 60 Men
The growing need for skilled engineers who are especially trained for work in industries of national defense has brought 60 students to the campus to enroll in the two new courses in defense training, which began this semester.
Both are short but intensive courses. They are not open to students already enrolled in the School of Engineering, who are being training equally as $ ^{\circ} $
Both are short but intensive students already enrolled in the receiving training equally as valuable to the government. Men finishing the course will be given a certificate issued by the United States Department of Education. They will not be required to take a job with the government, but they may apply for civil service work. The University will aid graduates in finding positions in defense industries.
Tuition Paid
Tuition for students in the defense courses is paid by the government, and some necessary equipment will also be furnished by the government. Students must pay for textbooks, drawing equipment, and living expenses.
F. A. Russell, department of civil engineering, has been appointed as director of the University program. Twenty-eight students are enrolled in the Engineering Drawing course. This work is equivalent to 13 credit hours as a defense course. In some cases the work will be much the same as in a University course, and some credit may be given upon petition. The work is of college level, requiring at least high school diploma and one year of college experience as a prerequisite. Classes are as follows: Engineering Drawing, 7 credit hours; Shop Mathematics, 3 hours; Shop Methods, 2 hours, and Use of Gauges, 1 hour. Russell is the instructor.
The course in Materials Inspection and Testing has drawn 32 students. Some college credit will be given for this course also.
Classes are Materials and Testing,
7 credit hours, instructor A. M. Ockerblad, department of applied engineering; Metallurgy, 5 hours, instructor E. D. Kinney, department of mining and metallurgical engineering; and Shop Methods, 3 credit hours, instructor Howard Kinney, department of mechanical engineering.
Three vacant seats exist at the Men's Student Council table because of the ineligibility or withdrawal of their owners at the turn of the semester.
M.S.C. Has Three Vacant Positions
John Weatherwax, Pachacamac representative from the College, has been declared ineligible on a grade ruling, while Paul Yankee, Pachacamac representative from the School of Business, will not be able to return to school for some time, if at all, as a result of illness. His position will be filled, according to Bill Douce, president of Pachacamac party.
The third vacancy is the seat of Jack Browne, P.S.G.L. freshman representative, who left school at the semester. All of the vacancies, except perhaps Yankee's, will be filled by the parties themselves by the time of the next meeting on Monday, Feb. 17.
More Than a History Naismith's Book Covers All Aspects of Basketball
The book "Basketball, Its Origin and Development," by the late James Nismith, the inventor of the game and former member of the University faculty, was issued recently.
Naismith, a Canadian by birth, came from Montreal to Springfield College, Springfield, Mass., then called the Internation Y. M.C.A. Training School, where he instructed a class in physical than a mere history.
Youth Need Indoor Game
Utilizing old peach baskets and a round ball, Naismith solved the problem—and basketball was born. Basketball, a game which today has more participants and more spectators annually than any other game. More Than A Mere History
His insight into the needs and attitudes was the guiding hand behind the efforts he made to keep the bodies of youth in action and good condition. American youth enjoyed football and baseball, but there was no fast action game for indoors. Despising regimentation and formalization, the young men never entered enthusiastically into calisthenics and other indoor exercises of patterned structure,
Naismith's book "Basketball, Its Origin and Development" is more
The book was sponsored by the National Council of the Y.M.C.A.. It should be read if only for the fact that it was written by the inventor of basketball—by a man who has spoken with authority upon one of the greatest American sports.
than a mere history of basketball. It is this, but also it gives clearly and interestingly the history and development of physical education in the United States.
J. F. Lloyd, seier meteorologist of the Kansas City Weather bureau, gave an illustrated lecture on "Development and Trajectory of Tornadoes in the United States" at the Mathematics colloquium at 4:30 this afternoon in the lecture room of Blake hall.

Musical Vespers To Be Held In Hoch Sunday
The sixty-eighth all-musical Vespers, containing numbers by the A Cappella Choir, Women's Glee Club, the University Band, a string quartet and string trio, and a vocal duet by Joseph and Marie Wilkins, will be heard in Hoch auditorium between 4 and 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
More than 250 persons will take part in the musical program, which the School of Fine Arts considers to be the finest in recent years.
The Women's Glee Club, directed by Irene Peabody, associate professor of voice, will sing an arrangement of "Come Gentle Spring," (Haydn's Oratorio); "The Seasons" and "Sweet Little Jesus Boy," (Mac-Gimsey), with a soprano solo sung by Virginia Gsell, fine arts sophomore.
The A Cappella Choir, under the direction of D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, will appear in three uncompanied numbers: "Tu Es Petrus," (Palestrina), a number from the sixteenth century sung in Latin in six parts; "Only Begotten Son," (Gretchanoff); and an arrangement of a Negro spiritual, "Tse Mighty Tired," with the baritone solo sung by Edgar Haage, fine arts junior.
The band will be heard in the majestic overture to Wagner's opera, "Die Meistersinger," directed by Russell L. Wiley, associate professor of band.
The University string trio appears for the first time this season, opening the program with a movement from the Brahms Trio in C Minor.
A movement from the melodious "Unfinished Quartet in F Major" by Grieg will be given by the string quartet consisting of Waldermal Geltch, professor of violin; Karl Kuersteiner, professor of violin and orchestra; Raymond Stuhl, assistant professor of violin and orchestra; and Eugene Ninger, fine arts junior.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins will sing a duet from Boito's opera "Mefistofele," with Winifred Hill, fine arts senior, at the organ.
The program will be broadcast over KFKU. The public is invited and no admission will be charged.
Swarthout Adds Four Members To A Cappella Choir
Four additions to the University A Cappella Choir have been announced by Director D. M. Swarthout. The new members are Agnes Romary, special, first soprano; Hampton White, junior engineer, first bass; and Allan Nipper, fine arts sophomore, second bass.
The choir will sing three numbers on the all-musical Vespers program at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium. It will also be heard over KFKU Feb. 28, and in a program before members of the Kansas Music Teachers' Association at the University March 4.
All were members of the choir last year. Melba Nininger, who left school because of illness last semester, has returned to school and taken her place in the choir.

Awards Committee To Hold Writing Contest
Competition for the Edna Osborne Whitcomb scholarship, open to women majors in the department of English, has been announced by Wealthy Babcock, chairman of the Committee on Aids and Awards.
Any student interested in this scholarship should make application to Lela Ross, secretary of the Committee on Aids and Awards in room 1, Frank Strong hall.
