NOTICE SHORTAGE IN NURSES
Rosedale Hospital Has Eight Vacancies to Fill
Young women who are interested in nursing as a profession can well afford to investigate the opportunity offered by the University of Kansas School of Medicine, according to a statement issued recently by Prof. Marvin T. Sudler, dean of the School of Medicine.
"We now have eight vacancies in the training school at Rosedale for nurses," said Prof. Suder this morning. The medical journals all over the country are talking about the shortage of nurses. In these times when other occupations are over crowded, they would seem wise for more of our young women to realize the opportunity offered by the profession of nursing.
"The ranks of nurses are usually rather rapidly depleted because a great many of them marry after a few years of practice of nursing. Miss Martha Hardin, the superintendent of our school, is a graduate nurse of St. Luke's Hospital of New York City. She is an excellent instructor, maintains splendid discipline, and her pupil nurses are very fond of her."
Student Injured During B. B. Season Withdraws
Elbert K. Stevenson, e25, whose head was injured from a fall in the first game of the intra-mural basketball tournament in Robinson Gymnasium, some time ago, left for Kansas City, Tuesday morning, where he will undergo some tests at the Bell Memorial Hospital. Stevenson had a bad fall, striking his head on the right side behind the ear.
Since the accident, Stevenson has been having trouble with his nervous system on the whole left side of his body and has been forced to withdraw from school. Several X-ray pictures have been taken of the spot where he was injured, and I believed that a fracture or concussion has been the cause of all the trouble. The tests will be made over a period of two weeks, and at the end of that time it will be determined whether or not an operation will be necessary.
There will be a meeting of the Filipino Students Association next Friday afternoon at 2:30 at 1446 Kentucky. Important matters are to be so that the presence of each and every member is urgently requested.
Herbert Steininger, c21, is spending the week in Lawrence on business. Mr. Steininger is teaching chemistry in Abhleen High School this year.

The Afternoon of That Day Will Be Devoted to Track and Field Events
Definite date for the annual Engineer's Day has been set for April 26 and 27, according to Kent Frohwerk, agent of the School of Engineering.
April 26 will not be a general holiday for all engineers, but certain classes will be dismissed on that day so that particular students may attend lectures to be given during the semester. All courses at the School of Engineering has already made arrangements for several influential engineers to speak.
Among the speakers planned for are: L. E. Young, with the Union Light and Power Co. of St. Louis, who formerly was director of the School of Medicine; Mo.; F. R. Sheddon, representative Paul, Saint Louis and Rail, who will give an illustrated lecture on civilization of railroads; W. O. Pennell, chief engineer of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company of St. Louis, who has written several hundred alumni, has given them to come for the two days.
On the night of April 26, the annual banquet will be held, probably at the University Commons. No definite speakers have been secured as yet, but in all probability Mr. L. E. Young of the faculty, Mo, will be one of them. The big prize of the department will stand on Thursday and will follow its usual line of march down Oread and through the main streets of Lawrence according to Kent Frohwerk president of the School of Engineering.

The afternoon of Thursday will probably be devoted to a field day program which probably will be held on McCook Field. The contests between the different departments will include a baseball game, and track points will be given in a department taking most points will be awarded a cup which becomes their property if won for three successive years. Last year the civil engineer took the cup and the year before the Mechanicals. The end of this year's program will not terminate with the customary hobnail hop. This event will be postponed until about a week later according to Dudinskoy, chairman of his social club.
Tomorrow Last Day
To Pay Senior Dues
"The senators are making a good showing today in the payment of the budget," said Henrietta Mitchell, who was in charge of the check stand in Fraser Hall this morning. "At this rate almost all of the seniors will have paid their dues, had their most surreptitures taken for the caps and gowns, and ordered their invitations." The all must remember that Thursday is the absolate deadline for transacting senior business," she said.

At noon today more than one hundred from the upperclass had visited the check stand and performed their duties as members of that class. There is a great demand for the invitations, and the limited supply will soon be exxhausted, so they are selling, according to those in sales. Fraser check stand will be close tomorrow evening as far as the seniors are concerned, say authorities.
The University of Kansas Stadium excels by far the one recently built at Princeton, N. J., according to Paul G. Wheeler, president of the Construction Company of New York City.
Mr. Starrett, who is on his way to California, stopped over in Lawrence to visit relatives. He was taken to the Stadium, and even though it is not completed he praised it highly, saying that the one his company had built recently in Princeton, N. J., did not compare with K. U's.

HARDING LENDS AID FOR HOSPITAL DAY
Chicago, Ill., April 12,(United Press)-Harding again has come to the support of the hospitals of the United States in their efforts to acquaint the public with the true meaning and scope of hospital service. In a letter to Matthew O. Foley, Chicago executive secretary of the Nation Hospital Day Committee in hospital affairs, he observed the observance of National Hospital Day, May 12, President Harding said in part:
National Hospital Day is May 18—Programs Will Be Held Everywhere
On National Hospital Day, hospitals throughout the country will arrange educational programs and exhibits. More than 4000 hospitals will participate in this year's observance, and the movement has sored to England and Australia. Canada joined in the celebration last year.
"I feel that it is particularly worth while to continue this observance America has led the world by a long way in the development and maintenance of modern hospitals, and in many other facilities are far superior to those in the country. Yet by reason of the extraordinary demands for care of the disabled men of the World War we are a long way from adequate equipment. For myself, I have felt that in establishing the great hospital facilities the needs for the soldiers, we will be provided for the facility whose usefulness will continue after the soldiers have been properly cared for and discharged."
"I was pleased to learn from your letter than you are going to celebrate National Hospital Day again this year," she said, with the birthday of Florence Nightingale.

Will Start Recruiting Soon For New Kansas National Guard Company
NEW MILITARY UNIT TO BE FORMED HERE
REQUIRES 41 MEN IN ALI
To Be Permanent University Organization—Lt. Harry Frazee to Command
Before long the University may once more be the possessor of a national guard company as in the old days before the war.
First Lieutenant Harry Frazee vocational student and adjunct of the first battalion, 137 Infantry, Kansas National Guard, has received orders from Adjutant-General Martin to make plans for recruiting a battain headquarers company of forty-one headquarters support of both Chancellor Linderock Major Harold Burdick and recruiting will start within a short time.
of the forty-one men, ten will be non-officiated officers and the other thirty-one will be first class privates and specialists. Two will be in the army and ant Frazee will command the stay at the University, if it receives proper support; it will be similar to the original Company M which went to France in service with the Thirty-fifth Division.
There will be five sections in the company: an intelligence section, a communication platoon, a radio section, a wire platoon and a visual signal section. The entire personnel is trained to drill one night a week. The men will drill one night a week and will receive regular army pay for their grade. State pay, varying from twenty-five to seventy five cents, a night will be paid them in addition. The annual summer encampment during the last two weeks if August.
The idea of having a battalion headquarters company is something new to the army. Herefore there has been only one headquarters company to a regiment, and that contained the band and other regimental specially trained men. The company was commanded by a captain who was also adduced as an officer. The organization of the new battalion headquarters is similar, even for the reduced size and the fact that there is no band in it.
JASLOW'S WORK PUBLISHED
"Junior High School and the Drama" Appears in Education
In the April issue of Education, a monthly magazine devoted to the Science, Art, Philosophy and Literature of Education, appears an article by Maximilian B. Jaslow, instructor in the rhetoric department of the School of Engineering, on the subject, "The Junior High School and the Drama."
"The theatre is a force to be reckoned with in the life of children," says Mr. Jaslow. He points out that it is the natural craving for the dramatic that explains the fact that children are the most numerous of theatre audiences. It states that the absence of the reception in the public schools of the dramatic instinct that causes the children to flock to the movies.
"Unless they shall come into existence of the proper kind of drama, our theatres will continue to increase to change from movies to vaudeville, from vaudeville to burlesque, from burlescu to empty buildings, and finally come to the end. The schools should create a demand for drama. The desire of adolescence is the best time to develop a mastery of thematic instinct. This training should extend to as many children as possible and should be under a new plan to secure the needed results," is the belief of Mr. Jaslow.
