Hospital Plans To Shoot R.O.T.C... With Vaccine
All R.O.T.C. men are required to attend advance camp before their senior year and must be inoculated for typhoid and vaccinated for smallpox.
Preparations are being made to shoot all R.O.T.C. men who will attend advance camp this summer with para-typhoid vaccine. Requisition has been made to the government for the ammunition with which to shoot the soldiers.
Baldwin Reports Record Enrollment In ROTC Course
The shooting will take about three weeks and will be done by Dr. R.I. Canuteson at Watkins hospital.
Enrollment is still open in both the infantry and coast artillery units, it was announced today by Col. Karl F. Baldwin. It is not necessary for a student to have had previous military training to enroll this semester. All men desiring to enroll in R.O. T.C. training may do so Saturday in Robinson gymnasium.
It is expected that enrollment figures for the Spring semester will approach the record made by this fall's enrollment. Total enrollment at the present exceeds that of any Spring semester since the organization of R.O.T.C. at the University in 1919.
"Make Yourself a Better Speaker", by E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, is the title of a book just published by the Ronald Press of New York. For seven years the title of the book was to have been "Ladies and Gentlemen", said Prof. Buehler, "but when the play 'Ladies and Gentlemen' was published in book form, I was forced to change the title."
Prof. Buehler Publishes Book
Prof. Buehler is the author of another speech book "You Sell With Your Voice", which was done in collaboration with Martin Maloney, '36 Maloney is now an instructor in speech at Cornell University.

Balloting Light As I.S.A. Votes For New Prexy
Independent Student Association members voted true to form this afternoon when only a few showed up at the preliminary opening of the polls to vote for a new Association president and a supporting cabinet.
Much heavier balloting is expected tomorrow night at the I. S.A. varsity dance in the Memorial Union ballroom. The dance is from 9 to 12 o'clock but polls will be open from 9 to 10:30
Polls Open Today
The polls were open this afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock to take care of Association members who could not attend the dance to vote. The light turnout was similar to election difficulties the I.S.A. met last month when the number of ballots cast was so short of the constitutionally required number that the election was declared invalid.
The Independent Student Council declined to announce the results of the invalidated election at this time but it was understood that the votes were almost evenly divided among candidates Charlotte Steele, c'41, Bob Mason, c'42, and Jim Brockett, c'40.
When the Council itself could not agree on a president it was decided to postpone a selection until the dance when, it was felt, more members would be available for an election.
Fred Robertson, c'42; Paul Gilles, c'43; Dorothy Gear, c'42; Mildred Wills, ed'43; Charles Weber, e'43; Jim Burdge, e'41; Louise Trautwein, c'42; Barbara Mafi, fa'41.
Bernard "Poco" Frazier, University sculptor, is exhibiting one of the eight pieces accepted by the Kansas City Art Institute at its current Middle West art exhibition.
Brockett Withdrawn
Voters must also decide upon four of the following eight candidates to serve on the new Council:
His "Wounded Falcon" was cut from a 1,300 pound block of Nerobi marble presented to him by a marble company. Frazier has been working in the University on a Carnegie grant awarded him several years ago for his creative work in sculpture.
It was thought that the recent withdrawal of Brockett form the presidential race would simplify the problem somewhat.

Design Students Get Checks
Checks for 12 china patterns that were sold to the Onondaga Pottery company of Syracuse, N.Y., by students in the department of design arrived today and were distributed to the creators by Miss Rosemary Ketcham, instructor of design.
Enrollment in the three hour reading improvement course for the Spring semester has already reached 75 and is expected to go over 100, according to Bert A. Nash, professor of education, who is in charge of the course.
Reading Course Enrollment Is 75
Classes in the course will start Monday. All students who have enrolled will find where their class meets by stopping in room 18, Fraser. Sections will be held every hour from 8:30 a.m. until 3:20 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Five graduate students are to assist Professor Nash in the laboratory instruction of the classes and two more assistants will be added as the enrollment increases. Graduate students now teaching are Henry Van Swearingen, Mary Gaberdiel, Alice Noone, Raymond Tudor and Mendell Reichart.
The course carries no credit and is designed to aid College students in improving their reading effectiveness and study habits. The enrollment ranges from College freshmen to graduate students.
Thirty Students To 'Y' Conference

The University group will be in charge of recreation at the convention. Those on the recreation committee are Bill Cavert, c'43; Jean Steele, c'41; Doris Twente, c'42; and Keith Spalding, c'42.
The Rev. Arnold Nash, of the Student Christian Federation in England, will be the main speaker at the meeting Saturday evening.
Children Cast In Dramatic Club Play
Six Lawrence grade school children will be used in the cast of "Quality Street", latest Dramatic Club production opening in Fraser Theatre Tuesday night. The youngsters have been rehearsing in the afternoon apart from the main cast most this week. They will join their fellow actors tonight.
A schoolroom scene in the play is short but important to the story and calls for several children. Director Robert Calderwood has chosen Fred Six, Patty Dixon, Laurence Musick, Gus Lindquist, Patys Creel, and Rosemary Buehler to play the parts.
Three of the youngsters are familiar to the stage of Fraser all having had roles in the Kansas Players production "My Heart's in the Highlands" earlier in the season. Fred Six was "The boy with an ice cream cone," Patty Dixon had the role of the beautiful daughter "Esther," and Laurence Musick is the young chap who had the juvenile lead part "Johnny."
Washburn college, Baker and Ottawa universities debate teams will participate in a practice tournament with the University debate squad here on Sat. Feb. 10.
