THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Vol XXI
More Than 115,000 Students Enrolled in R. O. T.C. Units
Military Training Requiree at All Seventh Corps Area Universities Except K. U.
"There are more than 115,000 students taking work in the R. O. T. C. in the United States this year, or more than the total number of troops. Of this number there are over 16,000 in the Seventh Corps area, with 600 of them to receive commissions this spring and about 900 next spring," said Ma. P. B. Jr. of the Seventh Corps and former P. M. S. and T. at Shattuck Academy, Fairbaird, Minn., who is here inspecting the local R. O. T. C. unit.

Camps Offer Opportunity
"The University of Kansas is the only state university in the Seventh Corps area in which training is not compulsory, and the number of students who go on and finish the advanced course after completing the regular program at most schools. Nearly 80 per cent of the students taking work in the R. O. T. C. here finish both courses and receive their commissions, while the percentage at most of the other schools is smaller. Of course many students taking work in the R. O. T. C. where it its compulsory assignment in the have taken the basic course, continued Major Preston.
**Camps Over Opportunity**
The opportunity to attend summer camps offered by the government is all students in the R.I. state that must not be overlooked. The way the work at the camps is arranged should be pleasing to everyone. Seven heats of work (including athletics), nine hours of rest, and eight of recovery is the schedule at all summer camps.
*Plenies are usually arranged for weekends, then trips to lakes, athletics in which medals are given to students, dance classes and dances and trips by engineers to visit various places of interest, to learn how bridges are constructed, and how other engineering work is done. The last course that gets to attend the best camp in the country, in my estimation, and the ones that go to Fort Monroe have a wonderful chance to see the sea on its shores or other places of this cultural interest.
"The program they have, military training camps offer an excellent opportunity for high school boys and other boys who are unable to go to college, to receive physical and military training. Most of the time at these camps is taken up with spacial trips to the development of each individual. Physical examinations are given to each person when he enters camp and if anything is found wrong with him bq is given proper treatment or advice to correct it. In nearly all cases where men or boys are overweight they reduce at these camps, and where they are underweight they gain in weight," said
Major Peyton and Major Case, or dineam察 inspector, visited the local unit Wednesday and Thursday. Major Peyton reported that the work carried on here was very good. Major case inspected trucks, guns and other equipment of the unit while here. Both officers left yesterday for Kansas City where they will visit junior C, T. C. units of the high school.
Saturday they will visit the State Industrial School for boys at Topeka

K. U: Boxing Team Shows Fast Work in Last Exhibition
Kansas City Athletic Club
Failed to Send Boxer
in Feature Bout
With Dixon
The thud of padded leather was heard for the last time this season when members of the Jahawkw bexing squad swapped punches in the benefit exhibition held in Robinson gymnasium last night.
The "tough one" from the Kraes City Athletic Club who was to tangle with Coach Tommy Dixon in the feature bout of the evening failed to make his appearance, so Keefe O'Kreefe, varisity, wetterweight, was obliged to take the place of the "nose" and swain leather with Tommy.
"Imp" Korfeld and "Jim Sham" Gier started the events of the evening with a nice petting party, but upon being cautioned by the referee they threw all caution to the wild and hit each other a few times.
Routs Short but Snanny
As the majority of the ring gladiators had been out of training for several weeks, the bouts were cut to three one-minute affairs but the spectators saw some fast work driving the short time allotted for each round. As the affair was solely an exhibition, no decisions were given. The lack of practice was imbished by the Swede's Slugging Binato Quartz.
那些 who clashed last night were "imp" Kornwell vs. "Irish Jim" Grier, Dick Blue vs. W. T. Immer, Cloe Crewson.
Leon Seedl vs. Dick Keen, Keo Spencer vs. Vie Hill, Johnny Martgomry vs. Steve Merrill, Tommy Dixon vs. "Tongh" O'Keele.
Graduate Magazine Out
pril Issue Contains Program for Commencement
The April number of the Graduate Magazine of the University of Kansas features on the front page uvaa mayor-obst of Kansas City, Mo.
Among the articles of interest to students and alumni of the University which appear in the magazine is the commencement program, which will be held Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, June 8, 9 and 10.
An interesting article on "The Pair of the Alumni office," is described, which states in part that thirty-five thousand former students of the University are scattered throughout the United States and all countries of the world. Approximately one-fourth of these are graduates.
These thirty-five thousand former students with their families would make a city ten times the size of Lawrence, according to the article. They would be an influence that can hardly be estimated. Governors, scientists, business men, teachers, missionaries writers, soldiers, lawyers, doctors home-makers—and all had an interest part of their training on MC Orend.
The magazine also contained an order blank for the use of graduates for purchasing the K. U. records which have been recently produced by the Gennett Record Company of New York. The list of graduates who attended the course whose addresses are not available on the Alumni office files is included in the booklet for the purpose of augmenting the records.
The delegation from here was, Faye Gospel, c25; Richard Hanson, c26; Floyd Simleton, c26; and Eloise Smith, e27. The number of regular delegates at the conference was 502. Thirty-three states and about 115 colleges and universities were represented.
A report on the national conference of Methodist students held at the University of Alabama is given by the delegates sent by the Methodist Student Association of the University at the Sunday school hour of the First Methodist church

Kansas Coal Gives Promise of Steel Industry to State
Dean P. F. Walker Explain Economic Advantages of Our Natural Resources
"The possibility that Kansas may become an iron and steel manufacturing state in the future is almost certain," said Dean P. F. Walker of Johns Hopkins University's Chemical analysis of Kansas coal carried on by Prof. H. C. Allen of the department of industrial chemistry has shown that Kansas coal can be made to produce cake fit for use in furnaces, a great extent for blast furnaces.
Means Profit to Kansas
Means Pront to Kansas
"Just what this means to Kansas must be explained in terms of economics in production. One ton of iron ore requires much larger quantities and costs of mining stone. For this reason the iron industry has grown up around the cool fields suitable for the iron indust. Birmingham for this reason is one of the great iron centers.
"Ore is shipped from Duluth to the Pittsburgh region because the location of the coal field is the most important area for mining. The proper limestone that is used in the production of iron. A similar thing has already been proven with the coal in the region of St. Louis by universities at the University of Illinois.
"The iron industry in the Missouri valley is already growing to some proportion at St. Louis from the result of these tests carried on at the University of Illinois. Since tests have shown that Kansas coal can be made to produce a suitable eoke, manufacturers will soon see this shifting plants in this section of the country," said Dean Walker.
"This idea of the decentralization of industry is being followed more by industries today than ever before. We don't know where to find industry. The location of industries is becoming the big problem in the manufacturing world today. Big developments can be looked forward to because of the progress in Kansas," said Dean Walker.
Iron Would be Cheap Production
"Iron ore could be shipped down the Missouri river from Duluth transported to the coal field, and iron could be manufactured as cheaply anywhere. All the iron caking comes from Missouri, where they could be manufactured in the cast and shipped here," he said.
To Hold Varsity Dance
Will Not Conflict With Engineer Party on Saturday Night
There will be a Varsity dance Saturday evening despite the fact that there is another party on the hill on the same evening, according to the manager of the Varieties. "The party on the hill will be limited to the students of the engineering school, and it was thought necessary to have a Varsity down town in order to take care of all of the other students who would desire to go to a on that night," the manager said.
An orchestra that is somewhat new to K. U, parties will make their initial appearance at this party. The Jayhawkers, under the direction of Chuck Mortz, will play for the party Saturday night.
The new rule of limiting the size of the crowd on the floor will be enforced, according to the manager. The men are again requested to re-enforce the safety fence at the dance floor, and the stags are asked to take a little less room on the floor.
Refreshments will be served once a week. This is the next to the last Varity of the year. The party next week will be the last one of the year.
A new constitution for Pen and Scroll will be voted on at tonight's meeting of the society. A committee, headed by Dudley Whiteside, c27, has been working on the constitution for several weeks.
