To Train Out-of-School Youth
Two Defense Courses Are Added
Two new courses have been outlined for the curriculum of the School of Engineering and Architecture to aid in directing national defense.
The two courses, Engineering Inspection and Testing and Engineering Drawing, will not be open to students now enrolled in engineering work, but are designed for out-of-school youth.
Provide Intensive Training
The courses will provide intensive training for work on national defense projects. Engineering Inspection and Testing includes study of the following subjects: materials and testing, metallurgy, use of gauges, shop practices, specifications and inspection problems.
The other course covers free hand and mechanical drawing, descriptive geometry, shop mathematics, and shop processes. Neither of the courses will entitle the trainee to college credit.
Class Work Has Begun
Class work in these courses has already begun and will continue until the first week in June. "Those taking the course are under no obligation to take a job with the government but may, if they so desire, make application for civil service positions or may be employed in industry," said F. A. Russell, director of University engineering defense training.
The drawing course is for drafts-
Three new projects to be sponsored by the School of Engineering, all pointed toward aid to the National Defense Program, are herein outlined briefly.
1. Facilities of the School of Engineering and the University to be used in vocational training of out-of-school young men for national defense.
2. New aeronautical course will lead to degree in aeronautical engineering in four years of study.
3. Two courses, one in engineering inspection and one in engineering drawing, will help complete training of students who are forced to give up their work for engineering degree because of record or finance. Intensive course will enable these men to secure adequate training for national defense work.
A new full four-year course leading to a degree in aeronautical engineering is now available for University engineering students. The assurance of this program was given this week when it was approved by the Board of Regents.
Students May Seek New Degree in Aeronautics
Prior to the Regents' approval, the proposal had been passed upon by the University senate and by the faculty of the School of Engineering and Architecture. This new aeronautical engineering course was prepared after a careful study of similar courses in other institutions.
In view of the need for aeronautical engineers in the National Defense program, the University has included in its curriculum the new course which will provide a more extensive training in this engineering study.
men in a number of different services. This work is of college grade requiring graduation from an accredited high school and one or more years of college work.
Students taking either of these courses must pay for their books and living expenses but will be charged no fees or tuition.
University Supplies
For years major aircraft companies and allied industries have recognized the caliber of the work done at the University. Graduates are to be found on the technical staffs of practically every major aircraft concern in the country.

The wind tunnel at the University is the only precision measurement tunnel in this part of the country and is said to be the largest between Illinois and the Pacific coast. From commitments which have recently been made by the representatives of various companies, it is believed by officials that the wind tunnel here will become of important use to aeronautical companies in this area.

The courses will be entirely separate from the University and will be offered under the direction of A. H. Sluss, professor of machine construction and mechanical engineering, director of engineering defense training at the University, and superintendent of Fowler shops. The students included in this defense work will not be enrolled as students of the University.
Oscar D. Beverly, graduate student, has been appointed instructor in accounting and business law for the second semester.

Courses To Be Separate
Opposite Granada Theater
The University has some of the finest instruments and pieces of machine and equipment in the middle west which are not being used in the late afternoons and evenings. It was felt that if this equipment can be utilized for training young men, not now in school, in preparing for jobs in the national defense setup, the University will offer the use of these facilities.
Represents Great Investment
University Offers Defense Facilities
In commenting on the plan, J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering said, "This vocational training to be given at the University will be unique because of the high caliber of the instructional staff and the enormous investment in shop equipment used in the training program. It is doubtful if any other trade school in this vicinity has equipment even remotely approaching the equipment available here."
University facilities will be utilized in training young men in courses essential to national defense in a program that is being set up by the United States Office of Education under the supervision of the Kansas State Board for Vocational Education
The project is financed by the federal government and is designed to train young men between the ages of 18 and 25 in vocations essential to national defense. Sixty-five per cent of the quota to be trained here must come from nonurban localities, that is from towns of 2,500 and less and from rural areas. Thirty-five percent may come from urban centers.

This announcement was made yesterday by Chancellor Deane W. Malott when he outlined the project of defense training courses for out-of-school youth.
Financed by Government
George Leet, district supervisor of the state board of vocational education, will have jurisdiction over this project. The initial program
The government will provide $12.000 worth of special machines for use in the machine shop, and additions to the welding divisions will approximate $3.000.
will train two groups—one in machine work and the other in airplane welding. The government will defray all fees in connection with the courses, including tuition and materials. The trainees must provide their own expenses for living and traveling.
Offer Variety of Courses
In the machine courses men will be selected to acquire skill in the operation of lathes, milling machines, shapers, planers, precision tool grinding, and in the operation of turret lathes, automatic and hand type screw machines, and production type of turret lathes. Airplane welding will consist of training in welding of sheet metal and tubular airplane structures, and experience will be given in both carbon steel and chrome molybdenum steel.
