Bloc System To Enroll A-12 Students
Registration and enrollment plans for A-12 trainees are completed, according to Bert Nash, professor of education, who is serving as University coordinator for the Army Specialized Training Program. The A-12 men will start on the regular class schedule next Monday. The 250 men who have reported on the campus began yesterday on a refresher course.
"The A-12 class schedule is heavy," said Mr. Nash. "In fact, it's going to keep those boys busy."
Registration and enrollment will be held Saturday. In order to provide for enrolling 700 men in 33 class hours each, a bloe system of enrollment has been worked out, Mr. Nash said. Fourteen enrollment schedules will be used. Each schedule will take care of 50 enrollees. The courses for the first quarter are: mathematics, physics, chemistry, English, history, geography, physical training, and military science.
"The refresher courses being given this week are for the purpose of reviewing high school material which will be important in the regular school term starting Monday," said Mr. Nash. "The review will help to get them started out."
Aptitude tests in English, mathematics, and reading will be given

18,000 Enrolled In Courses Under ESMWT

"ESMWT office' Good grief, what's that? Another one of those useless alphabet bureaus, I suppose," exclaims the average person when the ESMWT office is mentioned.
Yes, it is another alphabet bureau, but it is far from being useless. These letters have a most significant meaning to thousands of defense workers throughout the United States. To many it means an increase in salary, to others it means advancement, and to others it means a new position at a substantial increase in pay.
ESMWT is the abbreviated name for the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training programs, nation-wide project sponsored by the United States Office of Education. As Congress appropriates millions of dollars yearly for the support of this training program, no fees are assessed from the students. In classes on full-time basis the students are even paid regular salaries to attend.

Proficiency Exam Set for Saturday
The proficiency examination in English composition will be given Saturday morning at 8 o'clock, according to Prof. John B. Virtue of the English department.
College juniors and seniors who have not yet passed the examination should register before Friday at the College office.
All students enrolled in the College must pass the proficiency examination and afterwards complete 24 hours of credit before they are eligible for graduation.
Last Vespers Well Attended
The last of the summer session vespers attracted a fair crowd 'Sunday evening to Hoch auditorium. The program again was an excellent one made up of choral and instrumental ensemble numbers with an opening organ prelude. Laurel Everett Anderson, University organist opened the hour of music with an artistic performance of a modern tone poem for organ entitled "Vermeland" by the well-known American composer, Howard Hanson.
The choir made the first of two appearances following this with three classical numbers "Art Thou with Me" from Bach, and "Agnus Dei" by Kalmikof and the pretentious "Praise to the Lord" by Christiansen. The three numbers were all sung unaccompanied and showed some excellent training on the part of the seventy and more singers.
The group paid commendable attention to the wishes of its director, Dean D. M. Swarthout, and especially in the inspiring final section of the Christiansen number where the music is in eight different parts. The Gretchaninoff "Trio in C minor" was next played by Ruth Orcutt, pianist, Waldemar Geltch, violinist, and D. M. Swarthout, cellist. Only the played movement was

Enrollment Down In Engine School
Recently compiled enrollment figures for the School of Engineering and Architecture show a total of 661 men. Of these 206 are civilian students and 445 are V-12's. Of the nine departments in the school three, aeronautical, electrical, and mechanical, have the majority of students with 121, 137, and 122 respectively. Architecture and mining are at the bottom of the scale with six and seven students enrolled.
The civilian students who make up a third of the school will not be drafted if they will graduate by July 1, 1945. This includes practically all of them.
Half of the men are freshmen. The sophomore class has the next highest enrollment, while the junior and senior class have enrollments of only 98 and 84.
Awards Made To Women For This Fall
Practically all fellowships, scholarships and residence hall scholarships have been awarded according to Miss Marie Miller, assistant to the adviser of women, and Dean J. H. Nelson, chairman of committee on aids and awards.
Appointments to scholarships in the graduate school for the year 1943-1944 have been announced as follows: Miss Margaret A. Dunn, K.C., Mo, B.M., 1943, University of Kansas. Music; Miss Addie Mary Egbert, Topeka, A.B., 1942, University of Kansas, Entomology; Miss Mary Alice Hardman, Los Angeles, Calif. A.B., 1942, University of Kansas, Spanish; Max Hughes, Colby, B.M., 1939, Fort Hays Kansas State College, Music; Miss Constance June Rynders, Wichita, A.B., 1943, University of Wichita, French, and Miss Virginia Curry, Lawrence, Kan. A.B., 1943, Kansas University. Freshman Women
The following honor scholarships for freshman women have been awarded for 1943-1944: the Sadie A. Lawson honor scholarship to Mary Arlene Wisner, Howard, Kan.; the Women's Self-Governing association honor scholarship to Phoebe Carol Hunter, Labette, Kan.; and the Donnelley honor scholarships to

Bananas Growing On Campus
"Yes sir, we can say bananas can grow in Kansas," stated James Reiter, head landscape gardener for the University, "for we have a banana plant producing right here in the University greenhouse." A cluster of bananas is ready now for cutting and ripening. Mr. Reiter said.
This banana plant is 22 to 23 feet in height and possesses leaves which are eight feet long and 18 to 24 inches wide. The stalks have the appearance of a tree trunk, but are made up entirely from the leaves.
The stalk is cut and the cluster of bananas is hung while still green in a dark, hot place for ripening, which takes approximately 10 days. If a cluster ripens on the stalk, the bananas will be starch, while if they are ripened as stated above, they will have a much better flavor and taste, according to Reiter.
This banana plant, which is of the Cavandish variety, came from Florida, taking two years for the plant to produce a cluster of bananas. It was given to the University in 1942 by Mr. Rhodes of Kansas City.
As the plant is growing out of its own habitat, it has to be fed, that is in the florist language, fed with fertilizer.
The plant is on exhibition for anyone desiring to see it, Mr. Reiter said. It is located in the greenhouse directly west of the power house and south of Fowler shops.
Closing Hour Changed Thursday
Closing hours Thursday night will be extended to 11 o'clock for all University women, in accordance with the recent ruling regarding final week made by the Women's Executive Committee of the All-Student Council.
Finals for the eight week session will be held on Friday during the regular class periods.
The latest teacher-appointments that have been accepted were announced by H. E. Chandler, secretary of the Teachers Appointment Bureau as follows: 1943 graduates are Helen Sharp, A.B. home economics, Everest high school; Ethelyne Buons, B.M.E. music, Northwest junior high school, Kansas City, Kan.; Irene Akin, A.M. history, Fredonia high school; Zona R. Schuler, B.F.A., art, city schools, Great Bend; Betty Williams, B.M.E. music, Parsons east junior high school; Frances Kolsky, A.B. home economics, Bern high school.

Dance Floor Is In Offing
The gift of approximately $2,000 left by the 1943 senior class will be used to build a dance floor, providing material and labor is available, according to Henry Werner, men's student adviser, and member of the committee that is formulating plans to build the dance floor.
The Memorial Union Committee has offered to combine money with the 1943 senior gift, if necessary, and construct a 50 feet by 50 feet floor of concrete with a rail. The Mem-

Five Week Schedule Is Almost Set
Courses which are to be given during the five week session when school begins in September are practically all scheduled, according to Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and chairman of a committee to set the five week schedule.
Discussing the courses to be offered, Dean Lawson stated that departments which are not heavily loaded with classes for military students will offer the most variety in courses, but that all departments would have "a good offering."
"Any student in any department will be able to take work in that department," stated Dean Lawson. "Departments and schools where the work is primarily for women, such as home economics, music, and fine arts, are laying out especially attractive programs." He added that the School of Law has scheduled four courses for the five week term.
A copy of the session schedule will be available to interested students in the College office. Students enrolled in the eight week summer session, especially, may want to look at their departmental offerings. The schedule is to be sent to the University Press some time today, and printed copies may be available to students next week.
"We must be ready constantly to adapt the program to something different," stated the Dean in noting that the schedule is subject to (continued to page four)
Fine Arts Vital To Morale, Says Dean Swarthout
By the K.U. News Bureau
With the definite conviction that fine arts—particularly music—are vital to the preservation of a nation's morale in wartime, the University of Kansas has not curtailed its fine arts curriculum by a single course, Donald M. Swarthout, dean of the school of fine arts, said today. Many staff members have been called into war service, Dean Swarthout pointed out, and there is less enrollment of men students in the department because of the call to colors; but the departmental offerings have remained intact.
The five major student music organizations—the symphony orchestra, the a capella choir, the band, and the two glee clubs—have continued in spite of the heavy inroads on the male student population by the war. Dean Swarthout expects them to continue through the coming year, although he indicates that a good many of the members of the groups will be in military uniform, recruited from the service men en- (continued to page four)

NEWS STAFF
Soldiers' Lives Are More Important Than Materials
In the opening days of World War II in Europe, when Americans still cherished hope that the United States might not be pulled into it, there was much publicity given to the idea that if we could send enough materials over there, perhaps we would not have to send our men.
It was hoped that the staggering figures of the loss by invading armies in World War I would not be repeated. The hope that many more than 48 per cent of those taking part in the invasion would live to tell the story, was strong in the minds of all. This was not a shallow hope—it was common sense based upon a half-promise by the leaders of our government.
The unequaled strategy of the United States leaders as shown in the events of the past few months, makes one realize that they have not forgotten. This is the first war in the history of the world in which manpower has not been pushed forward regardless of the cost in lives.
Toby with a highly trained air force which knows how to dish out precision bombings, plans are being laid very carefully to lessen the cost in lives. What about those selected few paratroopers and those who man the planes that do the damage equal to that done by thousands of ground troops? The only answer is, "They are expendable;" they give that other may live.
In order to send materials, so that lives may be saved, we must have all-out production and more production. That production must be paid for in higher taxes. If we look at the total picture of this total war, perhaps it will be a little easier for us to slice off that pay check a little more, or even give up luxuries and even plan an unfamiliar menu just to help in the total war effort. Materials and money are not as important as men.—Oklahoma University Daily.
Women Study Radio
"We've been working on the radio All the livelong day,
We've been working on the radio,
just to help the USA —"
Just to help the USC, sing out the 28 women trainees of the United States Signal Corps as they walk across the campus to their classes at Blake hall or to the Union fountain for lunch.
Despite their busy 48 hours a week schedule, these women find time to get together outside the classroom for occasional recreational activities such as tennis, ping pong, and swimming, and every Saturday night they attend an open house at the home of one of their instructors. W. B. Sheppard, where they may dance and play games. Recently, after the completion of their first eight week session, they entertained all of their instructors at a dinner party, at the Colonial Tea Room.
These women, who hail from nine different states—Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, New York, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Minnesota, are enrolled in the six months course offered at the University under the Engineering Science Management War Training Program. This course offers an abbreviated program of instruction in basic radio engineering and is based on an intensive use of electricity and mathematics and how they apply to radio.
After graduation these women will be sent to the radio laboratory at Wright field, Dayton, Ohio, to begin work as assistant radio engineers. There they will engage in the research testing, designing, and development of projects for aircraft radio equipment and will receive a salary of $1620 a year, plus 21 per cent for overtime.
Minimum entrance requirements for the Signal Corps radio training course are 18 years of age, 1 year of college and at least 3 units of high school or college mathematics.
Graduate in Pacific On Red Cross Work
Patricia M. Franke, American Red Cross staff assistant, whose safe arrival in the South Pacific theater of war was announced recently, is a sister of Catherine A. Franke, 3328 Campbell St., Kansas City, Mo. She was graduated from Leavenworth high school and attended the University of Kansas. She was an employee of the General Electric Co. in Kansas City prior to going to New York City where she worked for Nicaraguan Nickel Company. She also appeared with the Peterborough Players, Stearns Farm, Peterborough, N.H.

Advance Rapidly
(continued from page one) beginning and advanced: engineering drawing, aircraft materials and construction processes, personnel management, accounting, detection and prevention of sabotage, chemistry, mathematics, mechanics, fundamentals of radio, industrial supervision, tool engineering, safety engineering, and scores of others.
The classes are taught at various hours during the day and night, part-time and full-time. Many of them are taught two or three times a week with the periods lasting two to three hours. These classes extend from eight to sixteen weeks. Others are more intensive and are given daily or nightly for two to four weeks.
Acronautical Technicians
The Aeronautical Technician Wai Training program given on the campus is a full-time course in which the students attend classes throughout the entire day. It is a specialized course training women for work in airplane industries. After completion of the training, the women will be transferred directly to the North American Aviation Incorporated in Kansas City, Kan., or to the Boeing Airplane Company in Wichita, Prof. H. S. Stilwell, read of the department of aeronautical engineering, is supervisor of the aeronautical technicians.
The Signal Corps program for women also given on the campus, is likewise operated on a daily schedule. These women will be transferred to Wright Field, Ohio, where they will continue study in advanced radio. These classes are under the direction of Dr. J. D. Stranathan, head of the department of physics.
KU Is Main Office
The ESMWT office at 109 Fraser is the main office in Kansas having charge of extension classes throughout the state and in St. Joseph, Independence, and Kansas City, Mo. Guy G. Keeler is the director.
Out of 214 institutions in the United States offering ESMWT courses there are only five others which have a larger enrollment for the fiscal year 1942-43 than the University ESMWT enrollment of nearly 18,000. The Kansas ESMWT also ranked fourth in the number of enly 18,000. The Kansas ESMWT also ranked fourth in the number of enrollments for the month of June.
A complete record of each student is kept on file at the office in 109 Fraser. The instructor in each town sends in weekly attendance reports and final grade reports. Character references are also kept on file. As many as 174 classes have been in progress during one month. It is no wonder that Mr. Keeler keeps his staff of twelve secretaries busily occupied day long pounding away
Jive Joint Really Hot Saturdays
By Kati Gorrill and Dolores Sulzman
"If it wasn't for dis place, some of us guys 'ud go nuts!"
What's this spot that rates such a comment from Chicagoan, Bill Davidoski, Machinist Mate, Division 12?
It's the Lawrence Community building which holds open house Saturday and Sunday for service men. And Bill isn't alone in his opinion. Last Saturday night 450 MM's, V-12's Navy Cadets, Army Medics, and A-12's chose the Community Center to spend their Saturday night liberty.
The hep-to-the-jive men jammed the ballroom to cut a rug with junior hostesses to the tunes of Herbie Price's eight-piece band. The athletic type held sway in the basement playing shuffle board and ping-pong and, less energetically, bridge, checkers, bingo, and piano pounding. For the lonesome literary type, current issues of popular magazines were in stock. All of the men, at some time or other, found their way to the punch bowl and coke stand.
Thirty-five A-12's, the latest on the campus, got in the groove their first week-end here. News of a good thing spreads fast.
The Lawrence Community Serv-
"The advancement I have made from inspector learner to educational director of my company is largely a result of the ESMWT courses I have taken," stated Mrs. Betty Burks Eaton of Aero Parts Manufacturing Company in Wichita.
Mrs. Eaton is now an instructor for ESMWT in Aircraft Materials and Construction Processes—Sheet Metal. Since her advancement to educational director, she has enrolled 67 per cent of the Aero Parts employees in supplementary training. The majority of these classes are under the auspices of the ESMWT program handled in Wichita through the University of Kansas extension division.
This is just one example of the thousands of people who have been greatly benefited by this program. The main purpose of the ESMWT, however, is not to aid the individual, but to speed up the war effort. With nearly 18,000 trainees a year, the Kansas ESMWT is certainly doing its share to help "Keep 'em flying."
Authorized Parties
SATURDAY, AUGUST 7

ice League sponsors these Saturday night parties. The League is made up of Lawrence service and literary clubs. Each club sponsors two dances a year at which members of the club act as chaperones and dish washers. Saturday night the War Dads of SOW were in charge.
Four women responsible for the smooth-running parties are Mrs. Deal Six, Mrs. Frank T. Stockton, Mrs. Robert Brooks, and Miss Joie Stapleton. These women faithfully give up their Saturday nights to manage these parties.
A weekly intermission feature is the drawing of lucky numbers for prizes. Each service man is given a number as he checks in for the evening. Saturday night two A-12's won special prizes, and eight other men held the right number. Junior hostesses also cash in on the drawing.
An added feature at Saturday's party was MM Detroit Brady's giving forth on the squeeze-box and a community sing.
Marie Miller Assistant Adviser to Women
Not the least of the attractions is the fem line of junior hostesses. One hundred of them were present Saturday night to give the fellows a twirl. More are expected next time to balance the stag line. Mixer dances keep things stirred up so a fellow has a chance to meet up with a lot of these ill'd-icers.
Any coed who believes in safety in numbers for her Saturday night fling can become a junior hostess by getting an application card at the Community building.
OK men, now you know. When you're tired of staggering the streets looking for a place to spend your liberty, blow into the Community building. MM's. V-12. Army medics. Navy cadets, and A-12's - the place is yours and the joint's jumpin!

Sport Chatter
By Bob Bock
Elmer Schaake, Vernon Hayes,
and Howard Porter, new members
of the physical education depart-
ment, will report before August 9
so as to be ready to assist with army
physical conditioning classes begin-
ning at that date when some 700
A-12 boys will be on the campus.
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of phys-
ical education at the University,
will now have a staff of seven assis-
tants, the present four being Reginald
Strait, Henry Shenk, Dean Nesmith
and Ray Kanehl.
Some 60 football coaches and athletic directors met in New York last week to try to see if it could be someway arranged so that army specialized training program trainees could participate on their athletic teams.
Unlike the navy trainees who are permitted to compete if it does not interfere with their studies, army men have been banned from competition in intercollegiate thetics. However, Rep. Samuel Weiss of Pennsylvania, announced in Washington that he had received a letter from President Roosevelt that initiated a possible reconsideration of order.
Army A-12 students are required to take six hours of physical training weekly, in addition to 24 hours of classes, 24 hours of supervised study and six hours of military drill. Just when they could find time to participate in football seems extremely doubtful, since the only way it could be worked out would be to revise the scholastic programs so that the six hours could be devoted to football practice. The way it is now, physical education classes are held at odd hours from morning to night and it would be very difficult to arrange it so the football players could go out at the same period of the day.
However, Asa Bushnell, head of the eastern office for intercollegiate athletics, has outlined a program that Maj. Gen. Phillip B. Fleming of the Federal Works Agency, and former graduate manager of athletics of the U. S. Military Academy, calls sound it is worthy of war department study and should be presented to the President's three-man ports committee when it is named." All this dickering may get college officials somewhere, but it is extremely doubtful as the war department has already considered it closed matter. If army officials could give the green light to the 12 trainees, Coach Henry Shenk were at the University would have had 700 more men from whom to choose and there would probably be several good boys. However, since he A-12 men here are all between 18 and 18 and just out of high school they could not be counted on to help out too much because of their youth and inexperience.
In meeting Washburn, first on october 24 in Topeka and then on October 16 here, K. U. will renew lations with one of its most ancient rivals. The two schools have met on the gridiron since 1938, when Kansas won by a big margin. Washburn Coach Bob Raugh says he has so many boys out for summer practice that he's running short shoes and other equipment. Sevvy hopefuls have checked out uniforms and 36 more have indicated they would report for summer drills. All have had high school or college grid experience, but only four are Washburn lettermen.
Schaake Put On Grid Staff
Elmer Schaake, quarterback on the K.U. football teams of 1930, '31, and '32 and all-Big Six quarterback, has been appointed to the staff of the physical education department as assistant to football coach Henry Shenk. For the past five years Schaake has been coaching at Lawrence Liberty Memorial high school.
Also appointed to the physical education staff were Vernon Hayes, former coach at Waterville high school and graduate of Washburn University, and Howard Porter, University of Kansas graduate who has been an instructor in the Kansas City, Kan., school system.
The new assistant coach played one season of professional football in 1933 with the Fortsmouth, Ohio, "Spartans." He is a graduate of Central Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg, Mo. From 1934 to 1938 he was director of physical education and head coach at Bethany College.
LAST VESPERS----
(continued from page one) used. The trio gave excellent interpretation of the number.
Meribah Moore and Irene Peabody of the Fine Arts voice faculty next sang the melodious "Quis est homo" from the Rossini "Stabat Mater." With Ruth Orcutt supplying the piano background the two artists presented the duet with finesse.
The colorful opening movement of the Dvorak Quintet, Opus 81, came next with Jan Chiapusso at the piano and with Waldemar Geltch, first violin; Frances Robinson, second violin; Barbara Huls, viola; and D. M. Swarthout, cello.
The choir closed the program with a varied group of four numbers comprising an opening Russian selection by Kopylof "Hear My Prayer"; a lilting Kentucky mountain tune, "Pretty Little Miss"; an attractive arrangement of the well-known Irish folk song "By Bendemeer's Stream" and a rollicking spiritual arrangement of "By And By." The details of expression were especially well followed by the choir in the Irish folk song and the negro spiritual.
The Signal Corps installs, operates and maintains all the communications systems used by the Army.
Like it is here, most of Washburn's players are navy trainees, and with perhaps as many V-12 men as we have they probably will be anything but a pushover come this fall. In fact, as Freddy Mendell says in the Hutchinson News-Herald, "Who can be sure, now, that Washburn won't be tougher than Nebraska."

Marionette Show Tomorrow in Fraser
A marionette show will be given at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in Fraser clock by Miss Maud Ellsworth's class in methods of teaching art through marionettes. The play to be presented is taken from Louis M. Alcott's "Little Women." Ethel Mary Swartz, a member of the class, wrote the play for the marionette production.
The five members of the class made the marionettes to be used in the play. Ethel Mary Swartz made the character Jo; Barbara Reber, Meg; Eileen Hughes, Beth; Dorothy McGinnis, Laurie; and Catherine Burchfield, Amy. Each student will work her own doll and give its speeches. The scenery and properties were also made by the class.

About 675 machinist mates have been given approximately $3.75 each to replace the clothing they ruined the middle of June when they aided in fighting the flood waters of the Kaw river, according to G. O Starkey, chief yeoman. U.S.N.
"The clothing has arrived and all machinist mates have been supplied the clothing and shoes needed," said Chief Starkey.
Money amounting to almost $5,000 was raised by popular subscription at the time of the flood and was called the "service men's fund. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has charge of this money and besides paying for the clothing ruined by the service men, gave a military picnic on the evening of June 24, at Haskell stadium. The picnic was attended by army medics, naval air cadets and sailors of the training school as well as members of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
The disposition of the residue of the "service men's fund" is left to the Chamber of Commerce and as yet they have not decided just what the disposition will be.

FINE ARTS---
(continued from page one) rolled in the many specialized training programs at the University.
The department of fine arts, the dean pointed out, has as a war measure added a complete curriculum in occupational therapy, one of the six major universities in the country offering such training. This course offered in conjunction with the School of Medicine is by its large enrollment, proving popular with those who wish to assist in the rehabilitation of men incapacitated by the war.
Dean Swarthout also stated that there had been no curtailment in the concert course offered annually by the University through the school of fine arts. For example, for the next year, among the offerings will be the Philadelphia Opera Company presenting Straus" "Die Fledermaus"; Arturo Rubinstein, pianist; Marie Wilkins, Methropolitan Opera star; Joseph Szigeti, noted Austrian violinist; and the Trapp Family Singers, one of the most colorful music groups extant.

Mr. Bible's education was divided between the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Southern California with two years at both. He has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the latter school.

In college, he was a member of the Architectural honorary society and Tau Sigma Delta, also an honorary society, and Acacia social fraternity.
From 1926 to 1936 Mr. Ribble worked as a draftsman. He was an instructor in architectural design at the U. of S. Cal. from 1930 to 1933. In 1935 he opened his own offices in Los Angeles which he maintained until coming here.
In 1939 he was the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award of the United States Jr. Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the American Architectural Society and the Beaux-Arts Institute. He has purchased a home at 740 Mississippi street. He has one son.
The day nursery school which is temporarily located in the New York school building will be moved to 1100 Missouri street as soon as all the necessary arrangements can be made, and the house can be equipped for this type of project.
Nursery To Be Moved To 1100 Missouri
"Previous plans for the school to be permanently located at Myers hall, 1200 Oread, have been changed because of difficulties in renovating the building," said Prof. Edna Hill, of the University home economics department.
Mrs. Marjorie Noell, graduate from Kansas State, is supervising the 18 children who are enrolled in the school at the present. Edith Kessler, also a graduate from Kansas State, is assisting Mrs. Noell.

Most of these etchings are modern, done by living artists, stated Miss Moodie.
'Excellent Say Officers Of ROTC
Ratings of "excellent" were given the University ROTC units for the general inspection of last spring, according to a letter to Chancellor Malott from Major General F. E. Uhl, of seventh service command headquarters. The inspection was conducted by Col. James K. Campbell of the infantry and Lieut. Col. W. L. McMorris of the coast artillery.
Ratings were given for the units in formation with regard to discipline, set-up, promptness, general military tone and seriousness, and for the units in classroom conduct and courtesy. In addition, ratings were given on general appearance, courtesy, conduct and attitude of students out of ranks on and off the campus, and while in uniform. Both units got ratings of excellent on all points.
Colonel McMorris stated in his report of the coast artillery unit that the "general appearance, military bearing and aptitude were outstanding. This unit reflects painstaking and very proficient preparation by the entire staff, of all subjects covered."
Colonel Campbell stated that the infantry unit showed excellent spirit and morale.
Fraternities Discuss Rush Procedure
A suggestion was made to carry on men's rushing in a form similar to that of women's rushing, which would provide for registration on September 23 of all men interested in joining a fraternity. Fraternities represented at the meeting were Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, and Phi Kappa Psi.
K. W. Davidson, director of University public relations, suffered second degree burns on his face Wednesday morning when a can of food exploded as he was taking it from an oven.
An intrafaternity council meeting was called Wednesday evening by President Frank Gage for the purpose of reorganizing for the duration.

Trainees Eat In West Wing Of Stadium
The new trainees of the army A-12 program are being fed for the present under the west section of Memorial stadium, which has been converted since Tuesday into a mess kitchen. Harry O'Kane, YMCA secretary, was in charge of the conversion. Work on the conversion started Friday of last week.
University officials report that most of the equipment necessary for converting Lindley hall from a class room building into a mess hall and dormitory has been purchased. Delivery of some of the equipment is holding up conversion.
At the stadium, a concrete floor has been run under the portion that is being used as the kitchen. The men carry their own mess kits to and from the mess hall and each man washes his after every meal.
Lawrence women volunteers assist the regular staff in serving breakfast and lunch to the men, and wives of faculty members aid in serving dinner in the evening. Miss Catherine Ort has been selected chief dietician and she has two assistants.

Other attractions already scheduled for the Concert Series for next year will be the Philadelphia Opera Company with supporting symphony orchestra in the Strauss Opera "The Bat;" pianist Arthur Rubenstein; the austrian violinist, Joseph Szigeti; and Marie Wilkins of Lawrence, recently attached to the Metropolitan Opera Company, in a recital on Oct. 25 that will open the series.

ASTP Soldiers Being Sent Here To Fill Quota
Because there were not enough men of reserve status to fill the contemplated enrollment under the army training program, regularly enlisted men are being sent to the University and they will be under the regular Army Specialized Training Program, stated Colonel William C. Washington, commanding officer of the program, yesterday.
The first group of enlisted men to arrive were 39 from Grinnell University in Iowa. Colonel Washington stated that 131 men are expected from Louisiana State University, and that the remainder of the men needed to fill the quota of 700 would come from the sixth service command. In the A-12 reserve status at present are 450 students who graduated from high school this spring.
Wednesday morning those men who had reported on the campus were given the regular University psychological and aptitude examinations. All the men are expected to report before Sunday night, according to Colonel Washington, and the new men will be given the entrance examinations on Monday morning.
Enrollment in classes will take place Tuesday and classes will begin Wednesday, according to present plans. Those who are on the campus now are enrolled in "refresher" courses which are intended to prepare them somewhat for regular classwork. The classes are mostly in mathematics and English.
Alterations of uniforms of V-12 men have been made this week and last week by groups of Lawrence women, under the leadership of Mrs. Henry Werner, chairman of the Bundles for America organization.
Women Alter V-12 Uniforms At PT Houses
"We certainly appreciate the fine job and the wonderful spirit of these ladies who are helping the boys in this way. It's a big help to all of us," stated Lt. C. A. Mickelman, assistant commanding officer of the University V-12 program.
Mrs. Werner explained that the Bundles for America group was not large enough to undertake the task by itself, and an appeal was made to church organizations and to the Home Service club to help. The Home Service club is made up of women who have relatives and close friends in the services.
Some of the sewing and altering was done at the PT houses and part of it was done in the volunteers' homes, according to Mrs. Werner. The women visited each PT house in groups.

Hey, Mac!
By Don Vic Grief
Physics and calculus exams as well as other tough quizzes, had a gay fling this week, and some of the V-12's are writing sad letters home explaining the situation—no weekend leave until off probation. Anyway, your reporter has no concern in this matter, regardless of grades. Spokane, Washington, is a little too far for even a Westerner to travel round trip in two days.
Speaking of the well known list, San Quentin Kolb of PT-7 appeared on the hated paper three times in twelve hours. He hereby challenges all comers to beat his E.D. record.
Now that qualifying exams for Annapolis are over, and a small number of V-12ers are on the list, it looks like the KU. ship will be represented at the Naval Academy. Since this is one of the highest honors that an enlisted man in the regular Navy or naval reserve can receive, we feel that these boys deserve special commendation.
Well, what do you know? PT-8 has not only one mascot but two—a cat and a dog! This earth shaking news was revealed by Tommy Poore, publicity agent (self appointed) for the ship. The dog, which was given to the PT by Ensign Ware, was given the unusual name of Mac. The puppy, unfortunately, has no tail, having lost it in a not too delicate "amputation" performed by the janitor. Ever since its downfall, the remnant of tail has been colored a bright red. Probably because of embarrassment. The other mascat is a nameless, fuzzy, yellow, Persian cat.

Survey To Work With Other States
The U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Kansas Geological Survey will undertake several projects in the state for the benefit of the oil industry, according to officials of the survey. Recent conferences with company and independent geologists have resulted in requests for more stratigraphic work. The projects to be carried on in Kansas will include subsurface stratigraphic study of the Salina basin and possibly the Dodge City basin.
In cooperation with the State geologists of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska, the work on the Forrest. City basin already completed for Kansas will be coordinated with work in projects in adjoining states to complete a unified report on the whole area.
Twelve-story cranes are being constructed for the United States Navy, the largest ever built. One man will operate these self-contained and powered units.

'Strictly Scuttlebutt'
U. S.N.R.
By Lt. (j.g.) C. V. McGuigan
US NR
Welcome aboard, mates! ! The Fourteenth Division arrived at the Machinist Mates' School last Thursday from the Farragut Training Station.
To the majority of the division, the Kansas plains and the accompanying heat was a new sensation, but to two of the boys, it's Home Sweet Home. . . . Ellis Ralph Hayden. 19 years old, who joined the Navy last April, was sent from Kansas City, Mo., to the Farragut Training Station, where he finished his "boot" training, and then received the news that he was to go to Kansas University to receive training as a machinist. Not only was it good news to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Hayden, of I135 Connecticut, but also to his wife, Mrs. Mary Louise Hayden, and his three-month old daughter, Linda Lou
Another member of the 14th Doyle Arden Kellogg, also 19 years old, who was in the same enlistment group as Hayden, smiled and admitted that he "had been in Lawrence before." Upon further checking, it was found that Kellogg lived nearby Lecompton, prior to joining the Navy, but went through the Lawrence enlistment board. Before joining the Navy, Kellogg was a sophomore in the engineering school of Kansas State at Manhattan. Kellogg is the son of Mr. and Mrs Orville Kellogg, who now live at Hiawatha, Kansas. His sister, a student at Emporia State Teachers College, recently followed Doyle's example, and joined the WAVES. She is now on inactive duty, awaiting orders.
NURSERY--from two to five years, are all from homes where the mother is employed. They are carefully supervised in their play, and they are served lunches at 10 a.m., 12 m., and 3 p.m. They have regular rest periods and a directed indoor play period when the children listen to plays, music, or play quiet indoor games.
(continued from page one)
All the equipment for the children's miniature in size. Tiny beds, complete with mattress, sheets, and pillow, small tables and chairs in the lining room, and child-size chiffoners and mirrors, low desks, and many other pieces of furniture go to make up the equipment the children use. Even the drinking fountains are low enough that a child can help himself.
The school is open from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. every day except Sunday. the fee for attendance is $3.60 per week which includes all services and meals.
Betty Rowton, Kansas City, Mo. who was graduated from the University last spring, will be a week ad guest of Jane Peake. While at the University, Miss Rowton was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority
Jackie Hansen, Kansas City, Mo.,
schman at the University last year
of a Chi Omega, will be a week-
d guest of Betty Smith.
Cotton khaki shorts are now being used for the first time in history American soldiers in hot counties. They have five pockets.
Coaches Expect Washburn To Be Tough Foe
Seven weeks from today, Coach Henry Shenk and his assistant, Elmer Schaake, will field a team of comparatively young Jayhawkers against the "navy strengthened" Washburn Ichabods at the capital city, and neither of these two men are exactly cheery about the whole situation. They expect Washburn to be anything but a pushover, and expect the capital city eleven to be one of the toughest teams they will meet this season.
Washburn has about as many navy trainees as K.U., according to reports reaching Lawrence, the navy men there will substitute football for physical conditioning. Here the men are required to take their physical conditioning in addition to gridiron drills, leaving only an hour for grid practice.
Today Coach Shenk will hold his final practice of the summer, giving his men a short rest before getting into regular fall football practice starting September 1. For the past week, Shenk has been running the boys through intensive scrimmage and has drilled them on the several plays that he has given. During the remaining three weeks of August, Coach Shenk will give chalk talks each Wednesday night
"Although the boys look pretty ragged, they have nevertheless worked very hard, and considering the heat, have accomplished a lot this summer," was Coach Shenk's comment after Wednesday's practice.
WOMEN ALTER--h. A Traditions Committee whose duties shall be the general promotion of school spirit in any suitable manner, the coordination of activities of the Jay James and Ku Kus, the organization of cheerleading staff of the University of Kansas to be chosen according to the following procedure and rules:
Louis Gaines, worked at PT-6, the ex-Phi Delt house. From the Congregational church women worked at the Delta Upsilon house under Mrs. Solon Ayers. Another group of ladies from the Congregational church worked at the Sigma Nu house under Mrs. L. H. Frink.
Mrs. A. M. Ockerblad and women from the Episcopal church worked at the Beta house, and members of the Home Service club under Mrs. T. D. Funk sewed for the men at the Phi Gam house. Another group of Home Service women made alterations at Templin hall under Mrs. H. R. Harnar. Ladies from the Methodist church under Mrs. H. L. Sutherland worked at the Kappa Sigma house, and Mrs. J. F. C. Broeker led women of the Lutheran church who worked at the Phi Psi house.
Alterations were made on all "whites" that needed such work, and some "blues" were fixed. Several of the groups have completed their work.
Mrs. Ethel Green, senior, spent the weekend at her home in Iola.

Dr. Allen is drilling the men in the fundamentals of offense—dribbling, pivoting, passing—and will continue to do so until the men learn thoroughly the fundamentals as he teaches them, he stated.
50 Men Reporting For Court Practice
Dean Nesmith is assisting with the checking out of uniforms, and anyone who is interested in coming out for practice is urged to do so by the athletic officials.
Harold "Sparky" McSpadden is the only member of last year's Big Six Champions still around. Most of the men out are in V-12 and many come from the far west. All out have had high school experience and several have had some college experience.
Those V-12 men who have signee up include Don Diehl, Kirk Scott, Ladine McCormick, Marshall Hulett, Warren Jacks, Adam Harst, Dick Leonard, Sam Hamish, Larry Benedict, Ralph Wagner, Cal Briney, Joe Brasch, Charles Crandall, Gene Waggoner, Rus Wolfe, Dan Ungorf, Jim Gould, Bob Miller, Jack Forbes, F. McCord, T. E. McIntosh, G. G. Hamm, W. F. Gilles, and Bob Turner.
Expect To Let Jayhawker Contract
Ten civilian boys are out at present. They include Bob Malott, Charles Moffett, Dean Corder, Bob Bock, Jim Richey, Frank Gage, Bob Mathews, John Alexander, Daric Miller, and Bill Hilton.
Plans for the K.U. yearbook, the "Jayhawker," will be formulated the last of this week when the editor, Janet Marvin, and the business manager, Bob Ramsey (Navy V-12), hope to have a printer's contract. "Until the contract is arranged, no definite plans can be made," Janet explained.
Miss Virginia Jean Worden of Olathe, high school graduate preparing for an emergency certificate in the eight week session, underwent an appendectomy Monday.
"There definitely will be a 'Jayhawk' this year, but we have no idea as yet whether we will be able to make it like the former books or not," she added.

All the extra noise and confusion is just more men. The Army A-12 trainees are on the Hill. The only bad part of this arrangement to some girls is that they are under 18. Oh, well . . . . Charles Keller, Sigma Chi, is wearing a bandage under his chin. "Did someone try to cut your throat" asks a friend. "Yeah." Keller admits. "I live at the Beta house now and they're trying to get rid of me."

Good news for the girls: Don Cousins has lost his eastern correspondence . . . . Charles Moffett not only tries to give away more than one Delt pin, but he gets dates with two girls in the same house for the same time. Solution: Another new girl.
The boys are asking that the good-looking girl who wears shorts to the library please discontinue the practice. Reports are that the girl is none other than Claudine Scott of Corbin hall . . . . Wally Grimes, Sigma Chi, wants to dispel any rumors circulating to the effect that he is going steady. "Don't print that!" he begs, "Td have too many explanations to make."

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1943
VOLUME XXXI
Sees Normal Enrollment Of Women
Contrary to the expectations of many parents and educators at the beginning of the war, co-education is easily surviving the exigencies of war, according to Chancellor Deane W. Malott, who expects the fall enrollment will be represented by about the same proportion of men and women as in peace times at the University.
In an open letter to parents put into the mails this week, Chancellor Malott pointed out that while the University of Kansas will be training in the next academic year some 2,500 men in uniform, the great majority carefully selected high school graduates destined to be officers or technical men in the army and navy.ery department of the University will continue to serve civilian students.
Women may take work as in peace times, the Chancellor pointed out, with alternatives of special professional training in aeronautical technology, radio, and occupational or physical therapy. The demand for nurses, medical technicians, and teachers far exceeds the number of young women available for those professions and the University plans to devote special attention to those fields this fall.
Chancellor Malott also called attention to the fact that all housing facilities for young women at the University have remained intact, and a large feminine enrollment is expected at the opening of the next term on Sept. 23. Substantiating evidence to these expectations comes from the office of Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, women's adviser, who reports that advance reservations for women's residence halls at the University indicate no decrease in the enrollment of women on Mt. Oread this fall.
Grid Practice Ended Until September 1
The first summer football practice in University history came to an end last Friday afternoon when Coach Henry Shenk divided his charges and sent them through a stiff scrimmage session. The teams were fairly well matched and neither team scored.
Coach Shenk now will hold chalk talks each Wednesday afternoon for the next 3 weeks at 4:30 in room 202 of Robinson gymnasium before getting into regular fall practice on September 1. Any man, even if he hasn't been going out this summer, who is interested in football and slants to go out this fall, is cordially invited to attend these lectures, then stated.
"Never has there been a finer,

Lester McCoy to be Regents Chairman
Lester D. McCoy of Garden City was elected chairman of the Board of Regents at a meeting of the Board in Topeka Friday. He has been a member of the Board of Regents for a number of years.
Mr. McCoy succeeds Fred Harris of Ottawa who resigned the chairmanship a few weeks ago. Mr. Harris was elected chairman in May 1939, and was re-elected in January 1940.
Graduate, A WAC, Visits Here
Pfc. Eleanor Gregory, a member of the WAC's home on a 10-day furlough and graduate of the University in 1940, visited her Alma Mater Monday. She was entertained in the homes of Lillias Howard, 1733 Massachusetts, and Louise Relph, 1800 Indiana.
Pfc. Gregory has been serving in the WAC's for six months, although she was sworn in seven months ago. She received her basic training at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. The basic training consists of five weeks hard work, according to Pfc. Gregory.
"You have to have good feet to be able to take it," she asserted. "The first week is really just an induction into the service, but the next four weeks are full of hard work. We attend regular classes, just as college students, and besides that we have regular marching and drilling."
Communications work is the type of work Pfc. Gregory has to do.
"What we do isn't a military secret; it's just how we do it that is a secret," she said. "I think doing this is really wonderful."
"We are to be sworn into the regular army Sept. 1. We will be given franking privileges, and probably will be called by our military titles from headquarters then."
Pfc. Gregory has returned to her home in Muncie to visit for the remainder of her furlough.
A distinguished foreign guest of the University Thursday will be R. Huws Jones, educator from Great Britain, stated Dean J. H. Nelson yesterday. He will give two addresses while here, one Thursday noon at a meeting of the Kiwanis Club and the other that evening before a group of University people in the Union building.
British Educator To Visit Thursday
Mr. Jones is a specialist in the fields of adult education and English social service. He will base his talks on, his experiences in these lines.
At present Mr. Jones is on the faculty at Oxford University. He was born in Great Britain and was educated at Welsh universities and Oxford.
The temperature Sunday at the gas office downtown was 110 degrees.
ISA Installs New Officers At Tea Room
The Independent Student Association Council held its fall installation banquet of new members at the Colonial Tearoom last night at 7 o'clock.
The new members of the Council are Bob Stevens, junior in the College from Oskaloosa; Don Alderson, junior in the College from Nortonville; Dorothy Cooper, sophomore in the College from Lawrence, and Irwin Mintz, V-12 member from St. Louis, Mo., living at the former Kappa Sigma house.
Irwain was appointed last week at the regular Monday night meeting of the Council. He attended the University of Washington at St. Louis, Mo. He is the first V-12 to be appointed to an office on any of the University's student organizations.
The new officers appointed at the Council meeting last Monday night are John Sells, president, a sophomore in Engineering from Effingham; Rosslyn McCampbell, vice-president, sophomore in the College from Raytown, Mo. Jack Doores, senior in Engineering from Lyons, Esther DeBord, senior in the College from Kansas City, Kans., and Ruth Krehbiel, junior in the College from Kansas City, Mo., are the other representatives who were elected last spring.
The remainder of the officers will be elected next Monday night at the new Council's first meeting, Doores announced.
The principal speaker of the evening was Henry Werner, adviser of men, who spoke on "Student Activities." John Sells was master of ceremonies. Esther DeBord sang Chloe and "In the Blue of Evening." Ruth Krehbiel played a piano solo.
10,000 Man Hours Taught By Men Of Phys. Ed. Staff
Ten thousand man-hours of physical education per week is the assignment for the staff of the department of physical education with the installation of the V-12 and A-12 army and navy programs, and the task is being accomplished by a staff of nine men—an average of about 1100 man-hours per week for each instructor.
This physical conditioning job—mostly for the men in service who are enrolled in specialized training programs on Mt. Oread but also for the civilian student contingent—is carried on in addition to a regular schedule of basketball and football practice sessions.
Corman C. Pennock, fs'34, entered the Navy, Aug. 9th as an apprentice seaman. For the past year he has been safety engineer at the Parsons Ordnance plant.
Price's Band to Play For Service Dance
Herbie Price's band will be the added attraction at the Servicemen's dance next Saturday, Aug. 14, in the Community building.
At the dance on Aug. 21 an amateur hour program will be given. Each division of Machinists Mates and PT house is expected to be getting its best talent prepared to enter the contest for the glory of its unit, stated those in charge of the weekly affairs.
Volunteers Help Feed Army Men
Between the L and M zones of the west wing of the stadium is a popular place with the A-12 trainees. A staff of eight regular employees, supplemented by the Red Cross Canteen, assists with the serving of breakfast and lunch, and University women and wives of faculty members help with the lunch and dinner for the new trainees.
The food, part of which is prepared at the Memorial Union and at Corbin hall, is transported to the stadium in trucks just before meal time. Some of the food is kept warm in the brick ovens at the stadium.
Mrs. Deane Malott, wife of the Chancellor of the University, is in charge of getting volunteers for serving the dinners. Audris Rife, dietitian at Corbin hall, is in charge of the volunteers for breakfast and lunch.
The Sunday menu for the army men, according to Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Memorial Union building and University food service, was:
Breakfast—fresh peach, scambled eggs and chopped bacon, cereal, fried cinnamon rolls, bread and butter, and milk.
Dinner (noon)—baked pork chops, boiled potatoes, buttered corn, mixed vegetable salad, ice cream, cookies, and orangeade.
Supper—cold meat cuts, fried potatoes, fresh whole tomato, bread and butter, oranges, milk.
Austin Appointed To Phys. Ed. Staff
Jackson J. Austin, graduate of Emporia Teachers College, was_appointed to the staff of the physical education department last week.
Austin holds A.B. and M.S. degrees from the teachers college, and the past year has been working toward his doctor's degree at the University. He played football while at Emporia under Coach "Fran" Welch.
In 1941-42 he was coach at Mound Valley high school. Before that he coached at Clayton and Admire. He will assist with the physical education program for the A-12 men at the University.
With the naming of Austin the physical education staff has been completed. Elmer Schaake, Vernon Hayes and Howard Porter were appointed to the staff two weeks ago.
776 To Be Enrolled In ASTP
The total expected enrollment in the army training program stands at 776 men, according to a statement yesterday of Col. William C. Washington, commanding officer of army units at the University. One hundred and thirty-one enlisted men from Louisiana State University arrived on the campus late yesterday, and the A-12 unit reports 461 men here. Seventy-four more men are expected to arrive before Wednesday from the Sixth Service Command.
"The enrollment figure changes constantly," said Col. Washington, "but as far as we know now the enrollment will be 776 men."
Entrance examinations for the men who arrived last week were given yesterday. Special arrangements have been made for those who arrived last night to take the exams today. Enrollment is being held today for all those who have completed the entrance exams. If possible, enrollment for all who have reported will be completed today. Colonel Washington said. Regular classes will convene tomorrow.
The 241 enlisted men in the AST Program will enroll in the same courses as the A-12 men with the exception that they will take the second course in military training. Trainees of A-12 classification are considered to be in the ASTRP (Army Specialized Training Reserve
Two Dietitians To Zipple's Staff
(continued to page four)
Two new staff dietitians have recently been added to assist Miss Hermine Zipple, director of the Memorial building and of the University food service. Miss Catherine Ort of Columbus, Ohio is head army dietitian, assisted by Miss Beulah Gray of Ames, Iowa.
"Every effort is being made to give the A-12 men a well balanced diet," said Miss Zipple. "However, it is hoped that in another week the men can be served from the kitchen in Lindley hall."
Much activity is in progress at Lindley hall. A large shipment of equipment for the mess hall and kitchen arrived late Saturday evening and installation began yesterday (Monday). Tremendous effort is being made to get the mess hall and kitchen ready as soon as possible, said Miss Zipple.
Miss Zipple and her staff of nine dietitians, in addition to taking care of regular civilian cafeteria and Union fountain customers, have charge of feeding army medics, navy machinists mates, V-12's, women at Corbin hall, patients in Watkins Memorial hospital, and the recentlyarrived ASTP and ASTRP men.

Calendar Is Shy A Day For July
July had only 20 days, according to a calendar which hangs in the University Press shop. Guy M. Pennock, mechanical superintendent, while figuring out some back time noticed that the calendar for July was shy a day.
This large display calendar, printed with three colors, red, blue, and black, was distributed by the Howard Flint Ink company of Chicago. Missing, however, for July was the number 31.
"Evidently they ran out of ink before they got through printing it," said Mr. Pennock. He helped them out by printing in with black crayon, the number 31.
Washington, Nash, In Omaha
Col. William C. Washington and Prof. Bert A. Nash were in Omaha Friday, attending a meeting of University commandants and directors of the army training program on various campuses in the seventh corps area. Colonel Washington remained for a meeting, Saturday, which was for commandants only.
Union To Have Cellar
Plans are being made to build a "root cellar" south of the Memorial building, the cellar to be used for storage of fresh produce, according to a statement of Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Memorial building and of the University food service. Work on the cellar will start soon.

GRID PRACTICE----
Vernon Hayes, new member of the physical education staff, suffered a painful injury on his left temple Friday afternoon while watching some of the A-12 men play softball. He was injured when a batter let the bat slip from his hands, striking Hayes. He was knocked out for a moment, after which first aid was administered and he was taken to Watkins Memorial hospital where Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson dressed the injury.
He was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon in good condition, according to hospital attendants.
(continued from page one) harder-working group of boys than the one we had this summer," stated Shenk of his squad. "All of them came out because they wanted to, because they loved to play football, and not because they were being given a job to play or for any other reason."
Among the men mentioned by Shenk as having shown up particularly well in practice are Junius Penny, star center from last year's grid team and the only letterman out, and Chase and Pease, two other pivot post candidates. Backs who stood out include Mowery, Barrington, Moffett, Miller, Bergen, Walton, Bush, Williams, Dickey, Maness, and Mohanna.
Six candidates for end mentioned by Shenk are Riegel, Gray, Wilcox, Smith, Sicita, and Hill. Bouse, Chase, Overman, Shondell, Vincent, and Hunter are the tackle prospects. At guard will probably be Frank Gruden, member last year of Wyoming University's team, and Dreher and Keller.

Haworth Gets $54,000 Job Of Remodeling
The remodeling of Haworth hall to provide relatively permanent housing for the anatomy equipment and classes was started July 31, according to Dr. C. W. Asling, assistant professor of anatomy. The estimated cost of the remodeling will be approximately $54,000. The remainder of the $85,000 which was appropriated by the legislature will be used for replacing the anatomy equipment ruined in the fire that destroyed the former Commons building.
The front part of Haworth will remain in the hands of the geology and physiology departments. The Southernmost part, which is parallel to the front, will be used by the ecological Survey. The central por-
All parts of the building are being made fire-resistant and the stairwell and vault are to be fireproof structures. The connection between the front of the building and the remodeled extension will be maintained, but it will be guarded by a fireproof door. The students' entrance will be on the east side of the extension.
A, from which the mining engineering department was moved, is the section which is being remodeled for the department of anatomy.
NUMBER 24
The lowest level of the extension, which is being excavated now, will be about two-thirds as large as either of the other two levels. It will contain a service room, locker rooms for men and women, a laboratory for teaching advanced anatomy courses,

Therapists Aid Polio Fight In Kansas City
Three occupational therapy students reported last Monday at the University hospitals in Kansas City to help with the poliomyelitis (parody) epidemic. Vivien McBeth, Elizabeth Niven, and Ruth Blethen are the first women from the newly established course in occupational therapy at KU. to go on hospital duty. They have not finished their courses yet, but need was so great they were called to help for the best of the summer.
Occupational therapy was made a course at K.U. in 1942 under the design department of the School of fine Arts. The course is divided between classes in handicrafts and science and medicine. Besides the regular four years work, the students must attend two 8-week summer schools at the K.U. hospital. the fourth year is also taken at a hospital.
The first semester of the senior ear is at Kansas City. The last seester the students are farmed out (continued to page three)
Keeler Was Speaker At Personnel Dinner
The principal speaker at the annual dinner of the American Society of Personnel Management was Guy V. Keeler, director of the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training program of the University. The meeting was held at the Hotel Bellerie in Kansas City last Saturday evening.
The topic of Mr. Keeler's address was "Zoot Suits, Race Riots, and Personnel Management." After the regular program and election, Mr. Keeler lead an impromptu discussion on personnel management.
A-12's Find Lindley Life Is Not Dull
By Dolores Sulzman
"Plenty rugged—that's life at Lindley hall," according to A-12 and ASTP men living in the new mineral resources building at the west end of the campus. And anyone who's been down that way does not doubt that there is life at Lindley hall.
A few little irregularities like not enough mattresses for beds, carrying army mess kits down to the stadium to line up for chow, one shower in the building so far necessitating going to the gymnasium, and a special work shift now and then give the fellows a reason for saying that they are "roughing it." But if they all have the same attitude as Cadets Malcolm Hamilton, St. Louis; Sherman Steinzeig, Kansas City, Kan.; Jack Costello, St. Paul, Minn.; and Bill Dunn, Keokuk, Iowa, Lindley isn't bad—even now.
"The thing I like about it here is there's never a dull moment," said Costello. "So far there's always something going on—new men arriving, more rumors, more equipment, and then there's one swell bunch of kids here." He is the barracks bugler—"I was drafted for it," he explained.
Chief Needs Talent For Happy Hour
Morale runs high in the Lindley barracks. In fact, you can hear it all over the place. The fellows admit they suffer slight attacks of
The next Happy Hour program will be presented late in August, Chief Petty Officer George Starkey, who has charge of the presentations announced Wednesday. The Happy Hours have been suspended during the past few weeks because of the hot weather, he explained.
(continued to page three)
"If there are any student entertainers who would like to participate in the next Happy Hour program, we would be very glad to have them do so," said Chief Starkey.
"Those who are interested may contact me as soon as possible at the Naval Training Station," he added.
Commencements May Be Held 3 Times a Year
The University has made many changes in the last year, and now there is talk of having three commencement exercises instead of the usual spring exercise, according to a statement made by Laurence Woodruff, registrar.
Those who finished the work for a degree at the end of the summer semester, and a few who complete their work at the end of the 5 week session, will be mailed their diplomas, after the faculty and Board of Regents meet and pass on the candidates.
Those receiving diplomas by mail may, if they desire, take part in commencement exercises in the spring of 1944. They will, however, be assigned to the class of 1943.
"Many graduates would like to go through commencement activities," said Mr. Woodruff, "but are called into military duty or war work that makes it impossible to return to the campus for graduation."
The problem may be solved by having a commencement exercise at the end of each semester, however no definite action has been taken.
Make Changes In ASC Seats
The All-Student council seated two new members and heard committee reports at a meeting Tuesday evening in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
Clarence Engel, president, presented the oath of office to Florence Harris, PWCL representative and Louise Alderman, WIG representative. They are replacing Janet Marvin and Caroline Baker, who resigned their seats on the Council at the end of the eight week session.
Dan Ragle, editor of the summer student directory, gave a report about the publishing of the directory to the Council and presented the printing bill for the 2500 copies. The Council accepted the bill.
Doris Bixby, secretary of the Women's Executive Committee, told the Council of the letters the WEC sent out to all high school girl graduates in the state. The WEC letters were sent out along with letters from the Chancellor and are for the purpose of encouraging girls to come to the University this fall.
Ruth Krehbiel presented an informal report of the Public Relations Committee, outlining to the Council the committee's plans for a publicity campaign to sell activity tickets next fall to the V-12 men.
Printed schedules of classes and courses for the five week term beginning September 25 are now available at the College office on the second floor of Frank Strong hall.
President Engel announced that the next meeting of the Council would be Tuesday, Aug. 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the Pine room.

Hey, You Mugs! Hit The Deck
It's 0559 (5.59 o'clock in the morning to you land lubbers) and the V-12 engineers in Patrol-Torpede Boat Five are snoring peacefully away. Then, suddenly, like a bolt out of the blue, a loud voice booms out.
"Hey you mugs! Hit the deck. Come on, hit the deck!"
Mac stirs sleepily, for a minute forgetting that he's in the navy, but remembering, he jumps out of his bunk and dashes madly to his room. Who wouldn't jump? By 0610 they have to be dressed and down in front of the P-T to muster (assemble) for a strenuous twenty minutes of physical exercises.
At 0630 they go back on the boat, clean their rooms, take showers, finish dressing, etc., and at 0710 they march to chow. Believe-it-or-not by 0730 they have secured their food cafeteria style, eaten, and marched to and from the mess hall in the ex-ballroom of the Union building. Indigestion?" you say. Oh, no. Just

Miller and Evans Now at Same Post
Two former University of Kansas football stars, Pvt. Ray R. Evans, and Pvt. Ralph H. Miller, today are athletic instructors in the Army Air Forces Training Command radio school at Scott Field, Ill.
Evans, son of Mrs. Susie Evans of Kansas City, Kan., was all Big Six halfback and made the most completed passes in the nation last year—a total of 101. He won six high school letters and four college letters.
Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph H. Miller of Chanute, Kan., won all Big Six cage and gridiron honors as forward and quarterback and he had the highest percentage of completed passes, 640, in the nation in 1939.
Both men were inducted together at Fort Leavenworth but went to different basic training centers. They met again at physical training school in Miami and were sent to Scott Field together.
773 Enrolled In A-12, ASTP Programs
Seven hundred and seventy-three A-12 and ASTP students are enrolled and attending classes at the University today, Col. William C. Washington, commanding officer of the army training program, said. Fastest Enrollment
"The enrollment speeded up by the use of the bloc enrollment system worked fine," Dr. Bert A. Nash, University Coordinator for the program, stated. "It was the fastest registration and enrollment on record at the University for that many students. The entire time for enrollment of the 773 men was about four hours."
The bloc system of enrollment divided the groups into 50 men each and provided 15 different class schedules.
All except 131 of the 773 men had enrolled from 8:30 a.m. to 12 a.m. Tuesday morning. The ASTP students from Louisiana State University arrived at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday and were enrolled in approximately thirty minutes after lunch, Dr. Nash said.
Classes, beginning Wednesday morning, run throughout the day and through the noon hour. They start at 7:30 a.m. and are completed at 5:20 p.m. The lunch period is staggered so that half the men cat at 11:30 and the balance at 12:30. Study in Watson and Marvin

Jobs Plentiful For Hill Women
There are plenty of jobs for women on the Hill now. Anyone who wants to work and has the ability does not need to worry about getting a position, said Miss Marie Miller, assistant to the adviser of women. So far all women applying for jobs have been taken care of.
"There will be no shortage of labor for the employers, provided they get their releases in on time. Sometimes the employers do not know until after enrollment how much help they will need. By then most of the students are already employed," said Miss Miller.
Most of the jobs are for women who have had training in office technique. There are some calls for students to work in the University libraries and in the food service in dorms. The wage scale runs from 30 to 45 cents an hour, depending on ability and the responsibility with the job.
In addition to those who are working this summer, 143 new persons have their applications in Miss Miller's office for employment for the fall term. Miss Miller estimates (continued to page four)

Hey, Mac!
By Don Vic Grief
Some of the few gentle characters in PT-4, upon assignment to extra duty in the wake of the ship (back yard to you) were shocked to find evidence of a terrific struggle. Naturally, they wondered what had happened and after some investigation, concluded that boxing matches were the cause of the mess. Dean (Beans) Bagley, owner of the gloves, claims that after every match he has to wring them out. Blood no doubt. He also claims that broken teeth are causing rips in the fine leather.
Take those quotes with a grain of sulfa, but don't think those bouts are waltzing contests. As a matter of fact they look like Saturday night at the USO. Rough, huh?
Speaking of fisticuffs, Jelly Jelenik of PT-2 is looking for a rough, tough slugger, weighing about 170 to knock over. Jelly says "I like to keep in shape."
Amateur Night can not come too soon for PT-6. Clark Hargiss and Charles Banks, trombones, and Don Diehl on trumpet make a groovy combination, they tell me. And of course, Wally Grimes will trill in that Crosby style.
Robert (The Terrible) Hargraves, will spark the show with his very special piano style. Bob has long been entertaining the men at No. 4, and they say there is none better.
PT-2 will have a secret muster tonight. The gathering will be informal and on the front lawn. Tea will be poured by Joe Brasch. Singing Sam Chalmers will render a song helpless with the aid of Edsel Johnson. The whole affair is to be a warm-up for Amachoor Night.
Geltch's To New Mexico
Don Hathaway, one of our K.U. boys at Annapolis, has written several letters to PT-4, his home ship. In the last received was the query, "Has Steineger, McKee, Dixon, or Greif gone to Farragut yet?" Hope we're there for his next letter, the rat.
Esquire is beginning to print on the expensive, super-thin paper known as "Bible paper." Perhaps it is seeking a new class of customers.
PT-1 according to latest reports will not enter in the A Night contest. All the boys on the ship are professionals, in more ways than one.
There is a new version of the six-
pence song, namely, "A-12's got no
pence." A-12's at the new song's
preview didn't appreciate the song
at all.

After the D.U.'s had been living in their new house for about two weeks, David Hax was walking along the hall. He stopped suddenly, "Oh," he gasped, "So that's where the shower is!"
The girls at Corbin have a new pet. Last week Marilys Marslls went in the sub-basement phone booth to answer a call. She came out screaming. "There's a snake or animal or something in there," she yelled. The girls finally discovered a little grey lizard living behind some boxes. Now they're trying to think of a name for it. "Deffenbaugh" is too long.
John Sandberry, Army Air Corps cadet of Lindley hall, was trying to decide what to drink at the Union the other day. He asked about a Green River. "They're all right," offered a friend, but you have to have some sentiment with it." "All right," said Johnny, and he told the waitress to bring him a Green River with sentiment. "Don't charge him anything for the sentiment, please," added the friend.
A few minutes later the waitress brought the Green River. With it was a little jar of cinnamon. By the way, Johnny was not charged for the "sentiment."
Since the V-12 have their uniforms, a civilian is an oddity. As Elizabeth Crafton, Pi Phi, so aptly puts it, "More uniforms here than you see in the Omar room on Saturday night."
Since John Conard of the Cottage has lost his two business associates to the Navy, Kenneth Cates and Eldon Waters, John is madly looking for help. John now, however, seems to have found it. More beautiful girls working down there now. John, are you keeping your mind on your business?
Frank Rush was helping out at the Cottage last week. Some girls, after giving Frank the well-known eye, called him to their table and asked him if he ever went to school at a certain city. Frank had never been in the place for any length of time. "Hmmm." said Frank. "I had a notion to ask them if they'd like to know me better."
Some girl could have gotten a Sigma Chi pin without trying had she been oloking. A Sigma Chi pin was found in the Cottage with J.C.S. '46 on the back. Schroll, if that yours you'd better get it from Conard. You have one pin out already you know.
The Bob Stephens who was recently elected to the Independent Student Association is William Robert Stephens, senior in engineering from Topeka, and not Robert Stevens, junior in the college from Oskaloosa, as was published in the Tuesday issue of the Kansan.

Reece-Stone Nuptials In New York City
Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Reece of Scandia announce the marriage of their daughter, Verlee, to Pvt. John William Stone, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emery D. Stone of Kansas City. The ceremony took place July 31 at 6:30 p.m. in the Little Church Around the Corner in New York. Pvt. Winfield Harvey of Salina, Kan., acted as best man.
The bride was a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority and the groom belongs to Sigma Nu fraternity. Private Stone attended K.U. as well as Kansas City Junior College. Private Harvey is a fraternity brother.
The couple will be at home in New York where Private Stone is taking army specialized training in engineering at City College.
HEY, YOU---ladders (stairs) and shuffles out to the guard post wondering why he ever joined up with this outfit and why the Master of Arms has to pick on him for night watches.

A plus utilization of time.
"Well, guess I will take a nice nap until classes start at 0830", says our friend Mac.
"Not on your life, sailor," commands the Apprentice Chief Petty Officer in charge. "You get to your room pronto and htie those books. No ups in the navy."
From 0630 until 1630 (4:30) with an hour interruption for noon chow, the time is spent in classes, studying, and physical education, either in calisthenics or swimming.
Finally, after 10 hours of this regi-
mented schedule, the V-12's are allowed Lawrence liberty from 1630 to 1730 (5:30 p.m.). Evening chow is served at 1730 and again they eat quickly and are back at the P-T by 1810.
Then they play football, listen to the radio, get in bull-sessions to learn all the latest scuttlebutt (gossip), and have a general recreation period until study hours begin at 1930 (7:30).
All is quiet, and I do mean quiet, until 2230 and then, well—they have 30 minutes to release their excess energies built up during their three hours of vigorous concentration before bed check is taken at 2300. Unless they have permission to study, they had better be there too.
Exhausted after the day's activities, we find Mac and his mates on the top deck soon asleep.
"Hm-m, seven hours of shut-eye," thought Mac as he dropped off to a deep slumber.
But, oh, no! About 0145 the next morning his mate comes in, drags him out of his bunk, and tells him he has guard duty at 0200. Mac groans, utters a few unprintable words as he dresses, climbs down the
Engagement Of Reetz-Self
The engagement of Lila May Reetz of Eudora, to Madison A. Self, formerly of Meriden, was announced at Westminster Hall last Monday evening, August 9, at a special house meeting.
Miss Doris Larson of Watkins Hall made the announcement and Miss Mary Jellison passed chocolates to the girls of the Hall and the following guests, Miss Maxine Jones, Miss Betty Lederer and Mrs. Norma Hardman.
The wedding will take place late this summer in York, Pennsylvania. Miss Reetz is a sophomore in the College. Mr. Self received his degree in chemical engineering last spring and is now employed by the York Corporation of York, Pennsylvania.
Out in the open air his mind clears and he understands things in a different way. He realized that down deeps he's proud to be in the navy and that he wants to be an ensign no matter how tough the road is.
"Anyhow," thinks Mac, "this weekend I'll paint the town red and forget this engineering, guard duty and regimentation. That is, providing my grades are okay so I don't get restriction for three weeks."
The V-12's get liberty Saturday from noon chow until 0100 Sunday morning. After morning chow at 0730 they again have liberty until 2300 that night.) In case you haven't mastered the Navy time yet, just put a colon before the last two figures and you have the hour, i.e., 1000 is 10:00. After noon, subtract 12 from the first two figures, and the hour is the same as that used in civilian time.)
Saturday morning is spent cleaning up their boat from top deck (top floor) to the hold (basement), including their rooms, passageways (halls), sleeping quarters, etc. After these duties are accomplished they practice marching for an hour or so or listen to indoctrination lectures.
That's the life of a V-12 living in one of the eight P-T's on the campus. Sounds sort of rugged, doesn't it?
Yes, it is a pretty tough battle, but you can bet that Mac and his mates will see it through and come out with flying colors.
(Ed. note—Next week Miss Foster will write a article on a typical day in the life of a Machinist Mate.)

Since then several other universities have added them. Mr. Jaucua of the Manpower Commission in Washington has been encouraging schools to start the course. The government is interested in promoting them because there are so few therapists now and the need is so great, University officials in charge of the program, say.

In addition to the swimming programs of the machinist mates, the V-12 and A-12 students, the natatorial interests of the naval flight cadets and of civilian students are taken care of.
New filters have been installed in the pool, the pumping capacity doubled, and additional purification facilities added. Samples of the water are sent several times daily to the headquarters of the Water and Sewage laboratories on the campus, and the findings sent to army, navy and University health authorities.
While the naval school for machinists mates provides officers to conduct its own physical conditioning program, its swimming program is supervised by the University. As a result, since all army and navy men must take swimming, the swimming schedule is full from 7:30 in the morning until 8 o'clock in the evening every day of the week except Sunday. R. R. Strait, graduate of Ottawa University and former director of physical education at Chanute High, is in charge of the swimming program.
So great is the physical education schedule that the University administration has had many headaches finding accomodations for the many classes. All of which scheduling has finally resulted in Robinson gymnasium being assigned chiefly to naval students and Hoch Auditorium to the army hopeful. And there are practically no hours during the day, including the noon hour, in which classes are not going on in both these buildings.

(continued from page one) to hospitals in different states for their training. They must be trained under a registered occupational therapist, and as there are only three of these in Kansas at present, some will go out of state for training. This is fulfilling the requirements of the American Medical Association. They receive maintenance while working at the hospitals, and when they graduate the women will have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and be registered occupational therapists.
The K.U. course will not be accredited until next year when the first senior graduates. When the course was started here there were only five other schools for occupational therapists in the United States. Since then several other universities have added them. Mr. Jaucua of the Manpower Commission in Washington has been encouraging schools to start the course. The government is interested in promoting them because there are so few therapists now and the need is so great, University officials in charge of the program, say.
At the beginning of the war the navy realized the value of occupational therapy in helping men to recover from battle injuries. The army saw little need for it, so did nothing while the navy grabbed off all of the good therapists in the country, according to one professor. Now the army is looking for therapists.
"Occupational therapy is a serious study, and not for the student who doesn't plan to work," said Miss Marjorie Whitney, associate professor of design who is in charge of the course. "It is similar to nursing but brings the therapist into a more pleasant contact with the patients."
O. T. is a comparatively new profession, starting during the last world war.
Several fellows took it upon themselves to give a pal a regulation fuzz cut, fervent "hep-cats" jazz the brass, but one command that gets action, and fast is, "Watch it, you lugs, there's a female in the building!" Well, you know how it
"We're just out of high school," said Steinzeig, speaking for the A-12's. "and I guess we're still hanging on to that high school spirit. You get an outfit like this together and things happen."
Mrs. H. B. Chubb, wife of Professor Chubb of the political science department, was one of the first therapists in this country. She took her training in private studios and then worked in Walter Reed hospital and the army hospital at Plattsburg New York.

"I've been bunking in a pup tent," said Malcolm Hamilton who has had his basic training in the regular army, "and they get plenty dusty. This is a fine building, but right now it's a little rough even for an enlisted man." But he had that gleam in his eye when he said it.
And then there's the indispensable gripe session—the consolation of the student second only to the check from home. The weather, the food, the regulations, the colonel, the girls on the Hill are hashed over during the day and also at night as the weary sarge travels from floor to floor shouting to them to "for Pete's sake, let's keep it quiet, men." They say the food stories get really good. And even the flies are considered.
"It's cool enough in our room at night," says Bill Dunn, a tall blond number, "and I could use that top sheet the flies pull off the bed every night—the flies get pretty thick up there."
That's the way it is—life and lives in Lindley. These high-spirited A12's and ASTP men giving Lindley hall a real initiation, and a quarter of a century from now some mining engineer on the Hill can look up from his lab table and say, "Fellows, my Pop slept here!"
Q. Does an album filled with Stamps automatically become a Bond that will mature in 10 years?
A. No. It must be exchanged for a Bond, and it will bear no interest until it is so exchanged.
WAR BOND QUIZ
By Gib Crockett.
CANCELLED
You will be charged
based on your return
A. Yes, when bankruptcy or insolvency has been adjudicated and request for payment has been duly executed.
Can payment of a War Savings Bond be made to the receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the estate of a registered owner?
Q. Can I authorize my employer to set aside portions of my salary each pay day until enough is accumulated to buy a War Savings Bond?
A. Yes, if your employer has installed a Pay-Roll Savings Plan. More than 24 million wage and salary earners are saving their money this way.
Q. Can I invest a lump sum in War Bonds and receive from the investment a return in the nature of an annuity?
A. No. The purchase of each War Savings Bond is a separate transaction. Each Bond is dated as of the first of the month in which payment for it is received by an authorized issuing agent, and matures exactly 10 years from that date.
Remember—the longer you keep War Bonds, up to 10 years, the more valuable they become.

Women Wanted For Radar Work
Women with college degrees who majored in physics or completed courses in electrical engineering are now eligible for commissioning in the Navy, according to a statement made yesterday by Lt.-Commander Nathan Young of the Kansas City bureau of naval officer procurement. Commander Young made the announcement of the new program in a telephone conversation with J. O. Jones, acting dean of the School of Engineering.
Women who have the required academic training will be commissioned with the rank of ensign upon completion of an indoctrination course at the WAVE midshipman's school at Northampton. Mass. They then will be sent to a pre-adar school for training which will last from three to five months.
The Navy is especially interested in the joining up of recent graduates, stated Jones, and any woman who is interested in the program can get more complete information by seeing him.

The labor situation for men is at a stalemate, is the report from the office of Harry O'Kane, director of men's employment. There are few men to work.
"The war has changed the working situation decidedly," said Miss Miller. "There are fewer women working in school than in pre-war days. This is due to changes in the home situation. Many women are working full time now and planning to return to school after the war. The function of this office has changed, too. Formerly we operated as a service to the students in helping them obtain employment. Now we help the employers find workers. There are seldom enough persons to fill all the types of jobs for which we get requests."
Wiley's To Nebraska
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Wiley left last week for Chadron, Neb., where Mr. Wiley will be guest director of the National Music camp at Chadron for a week. He will give two band concerts on Sunday and also a week from Sunday in the towns of Chadron, Alliance, and Crawford.

On the next floor up, the so-called first floor, a space about 37 by 50 feet will be used for a dissection laboratory. The remaining space, about 37 by 30 feet will be used for two small offices. This floor will communicate directly with the outside entrance and the front of Haworth hall.
A room about 37 by 40 feet on the second, or top, floor of the anatomy section will be used for microscopic anatomy and neurology. The portion remaining will be divided into a small supply room, a laboratory for the technician, Margaret Schumann, and another room designed for use in demonstrations and examinations. Temporarily, however, this room may be used for an office, Dr. Asling stated.
"The floor space which will be made available by this reconstruction will be somewhat less than in the anatomy building which burned." Dr. Asling said, "but we will meet this problem for the present, by dividing classes in half and teaching them twice.

"In the space available there is not enough room for research projects or the storage of the cadavers. We hope, however, that sometime the shortage of space for teaching can be overcome by the use of the portion of the building now occupied by the geological department. When this department moves into the building space which was designed for it before the war, the Haworth location will serve the needs of the anatomy department until such time as a medical science building may be built to serve the specialized needs of the School of Medicine," Dr. Asling stated.

Geography Texts Not Here
All books are supplied by the army, and all have arrived with the exception of the geography text, Dr. Nash said.
Entrance examinations for 200 of the enrollees who arrived late were given last night and will be completed this evening.
"The program, as far as the academic part is concerned, is running smoothly." Dr. Nash said. So far the fellows have reported to classes at the right place and time without any great difficulties."
Special Convocation Tuesday
A special army convocation for the A-12 and ASTP students at the University was held Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in Hoch auditorium. The whole group attended the special assembly with Dr. Bert A. Nash, University coordinator for the program, presiding. Talks were made by Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Col. William C. Washington, commanding officer, Dean Paul B. Lawson, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, and J. O. Jones, acting dean of the school of engineering.
The chancellor spoke on the relation of the army students to the University, Colonel. Washington spoke on the military aspect of the

North American Aviation, Inc., and the Boeing Airplane Co. will sponsor a third training period of twelve weeks for women to become aeronautical technicians, at the University of Kansas beginning the last week in August, Prof. H: S. Stillwell, chairman of the department of aeronautical engineering, has announced. The second training period, in which nearly 200 young women from nine states are studying while in the employ of these aircraft companies, will be completed the last week in August.
George Trombold, personnel manager for the Wichita division of Boeing and Ross M. Willhite, of the production training section of North American's branch at Kansas City, were in Lawrence recently inspecting the progress of the program now being given and completing arrangements for training the next group of women. Both Trombold and Willhite were unreserved in expressing their approval of the training program.
The training is sponsored by the two companies upon whose payrolls the women are listed while they are in residence at the University, and is administered by the School of Engineering and Architecture. The whole setup is under the supervision of the Engineering Science Manage-

Quarter Million Entertained Through Bureau
Approximately one quarter of a million people in Kansas and in border towns of Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, and Arkansas, attended entertainment functions last year set up by the Bureau of Lectures and Lecture Courses at the University, the annual report released here recently indicated. Scope of the entertainment ranged all the way from magicians and marionette shows to lectures on the denizens of the Yucatan jungles.
Director of this vast store of entertainment features is Guy V. Keeler, assistant director of the University Extension Division in charge of lecture courses. On the wall in front of Keeler's desk is a map of Kansas and adjacent states, filled with colored pins. Each color represents a different type of entertainment features and at some of the major points on the map—Tulsa and Wichita for instance—as many as 16 pins are fastened. A total of 1,103 programs in 393 different communities were given last year, the report shows.
Among the features provided by the Bureau in last year's entertainment schedule were dramatic pro (continued to page four)
New Library Hours
Watson Library will be open on Friday nights until 10 p.m., a government requirement for the men of the A-12's, according to Charles Baker, director of the University libraries. Other library hours will be as usual, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 to 10 p.m. except on Saturday when the library closes at 5 p.m.
Last ISA Dance On August 21
The last ISA three-hour dance of the summer has been announced for Saturday, August 21, in the Union Building. The dance will begin at 9 p.m., and will end at 12 o'clock with Dick Todd and his records furnishing the music. Because of the hot weather, both the Main Lounge and the Men's Lounge will be used.
Two extra features have been added to the evening's entertainment, stated John Sells, ISA president. Several surprise numbers will be presented during intermission and the second added feature is a free coke with each ticket to the dance, he said.
All ISA members will be admitted to the dance free. Admission price for non-members is twenty-five cents each.
Three Staff Members From S.D.State
Three new members of the University faculty hail from South Dakota State College at Brookings, S.D—and two of them have the same last name. Clare Johnson, professor of English, and Emory E. Johnson, professor of civil engineering, recently joined the University staff, and last week Prof. Gordon A. Wise accepted a teaching position with the mathematics department. He was formerly a graduate student at the University of Kansas.
Another faculty member from Brookings is Thomas C. Ryther, director of the University Press, who came to the University from South Dakota State College three years ago.
South Dakota State College has also received three of its faculty members from the University of Kansas in recent years. They are Miss Katherine Klein, professor of education and psychology and graduate of the University in 1926; Dr. Raymond E. Reinhart, who received his doctor of philosophy degree from the University in 1933 and has been head of the physics department at Brookings since 1934; and Maynard Fox, who has been associated with the South Dakota State College English department for the past few years.
Prof. Edna Hill of the home economics department left Monday night for her home in Warren, N.H., where she plans to spend about three weeks.

Big Future Seen For Chemists By Vander Werf
By Catharine Brown
"Chemists are willing to agree that this may be a physicist's war but they insist that what follows will be a chemist's peace," argues Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, assistant professor of chemistry.
Revolutionary designs will be permitted on cars using high octane gas, he believes. (Example: cars will average 50 miles to the gallon with engines equipped to use the high octane gasolines.) Glassware and glass products, and foods (new kinds, uses and preparations) are also promising fields, he stated.
He believes in a great future for the chemist who will be able to pursue fields such as: pharmaceutics, plastics, synthetics, and high octane gasoline for both planes and cars.
Dr. Vander Werf said that it will be a long time before the field of chemistry will be flooded with excess workers because so few stu-

13 Hoodoo Goes Back 2,000 Years
By Maxine Crawford
Just ask PT-6 if Friday the 13th isn't an unlucky day. At least when a fire drill at 2:30 a.m. broke into their deep and peaceful slumbers, even you would have to admit the day wasn't starting out very well.
And "Pete" Durrell, resident of PT-2, will substantiate anybody's argument that all Fridays which come on the thirteenth should herewith be eliminated. It couldn't have been seasickness that made him fall from his bed and land in sick bay with a broken shoulder.
Yes, Friday the 13th holds a double threat. According to the Mohammedans Friday was the day when Adam was created, entered Paradise, was expelled therefrom, the day of his repentance, of his death, and it is the day of resurrection. It was long associated in the public mind with the execution of criminals sentenced to death, which usually took place on Friday and was commonly called Hangman's Day.
And the fear of 13 is at least 2,000 years old. The common theory to explain the origin of the superstition is that there were 13 present at the Last Supper, Judas being the thirteenth. The Turks so dislike and fear the number 13 that the word is almost expunged from their vocabulary.
And not to be outdone by the Turks even Chief Brummer has decided all doesn't go well on Friday the 13th. He claims he bumped into the side of the house and got his face all skinned up that way. But some of the V-12 men tell a different story. They say he fell off a couch, but from the looks of his face we wonder if either story can be true.
Still the Chief says, "You should see my knee!"
New Accountant
Eloise Knox, 1717 Illinois, startec Monday morning as the accountant for the University Kansan and the University press. She attended Strickler's Business College, and has been working in the sales tax division office of Commissioner of Revenue and Taxation in Topeka for the past four years.
A-12's Eligible To Join YMCA
A-12 students may join the YMCA and participate in all of its activities with civilian and V-12 students, according to Harry O'Kane, YMCA secretary.
"Some of the A-12's have already come into the YMCA office and asked when and if they could join," Mr. O'Kane said. "Until the program gets underway, the men have the use of the Service,Men's Club at 9th and Massachusetts."
Because of the shortage of time and labor to work on the army kitchen, Mr. O'Kane was unable to be on hand to check registrants who wished to join the YMCA as he usually does during registration. Consequently the YMCA office has to send letters to the boys, who expressed a desire to join on their church preference, cards, asking them to sign up if they care to join the Y.
N.Y. Times Carried Article on Taft Book
Prof. Robert Taft of the chemistry department and his book, "Photography and the American Scene," were mentioned in an editorial appearing in a recent issue of the New York Times in connection with a discussion of the dagerrootype.
Professor Taft's book is a history of the development of photography, dating back to 1839 when Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre originated the process of daguerrotyping. In his book, Professor Taft explains that a good daguerrotype possesses brilliance and shows detail better than any paper print, but because of its mirror-like surface, it can be seen only when held in a certain position. Other reasons why the daguerrotype has given way to modern photography are that it prints a reversed image and does not permit the making of duplicate copies.
In addition to "Photography and the American Scene," Professor Taft is also the author of "Across the Years on Mt. Oread," a history of the University of Kansas from 1866 to 1941.
All divisions, barracks, and PT's that are planning on having entries in the amateur hour program at the Servicemen's League dance next Saturday night are requested to call 2590 and tell Mrs. Robert Brooks some time this week, said Mrs. Brooks, director of the dances. The program will begin at 10:30 p.m. First, second, third, and consolation prizes will be given, she said.

War-Time Minor In Journalism Is Explained
Prospective students all over the country last week received copies of an illustrated folder, printed in two colors, explaining the War Time Minor in Journalism at the University. Descriptive text about the University, information about registration and fees, and photographs of campus scenes, the Daily Kansan newsroom and pressroom, and journalism staff members were included in the 12-page publication.
To help overcome a critical shortage of journalism workers, the department of journalism is co-operating with several nation-wide organizations of publishers to create a "replacement pool of workers," according to Prof. E. F. Beth, acting chairman of the department. Through the national office of American Newspaper Publishers Association, the publishers send to the Kansas department and to several other leading schools of journalism, lists of persons interested in preparing themselves quickly for positions. The folder was prepared particularly for that group.

As far back as anyone can remember the post office department has shown an operating loss at the end of each year. And, on several occasions, this ever-present deficit has been projected by some Congressmen as argument in favor of increasing postal rates. Such a move again threatens.
Bob Bock, Bouli Perkins, Bill Koehler, Kati Gorrill, Don V. Grief, Catherine Brown, Dolores Suzman, Pat Foster, Mrs. M. Elsie Kirby, Maxine Crawford, Theodore Gray, Paula Reeve.
End of Franking Privilege Would Cut Post Office Deficit
Through heightened efficiency and economy of operation, the department in the last 10 years has trimmed its annual deficit from 112 million dollars to only 14 millions. However, there is still a deficit and as long as it exists it is a potential lever with which some legislators may try to raise postal rates.
This deficit is due entirely to the free mail carried for the many government departments and agencies. The volume of this mail has multiplied five-fold in the last ten years. Last year the postal department estimated that if this free mail had been paid for, it would have brought 72 million dollars into its coffers, wiping out the 14 million dollar deficit and leaving a 58 million dollar profit. Thus it is clear that the way to turn the department's loss into gain and eliminate this threat to rates is to revoke the free mailing privilege and require the agencies to pay postage on all mail they send out.
Three cheers for this sweater weather. No doubt you northerners will join me in the cheer.
Business mail users and private individuals as well would suffer from an increase of rates at this time. A means to avert this postal rate menace and combat any moves in that direction is passage of the Burch Bill, (H.R. 2001) which provides that all government departments and bureaus be required to pay postage on all mail they send out. Active support of this bill would be in the interests of all mail users, the post office department, and sound governmental accounting.

A short tour of inspection on campus and in the Union Fountain produced the most amazing facts to me today, all of which give proof to one of my theories: There's life-a-plenty on this hill, if you know how to find it.
A certain chap called "Dog Ears" from PT 3 has adopted that mellow Southern drawl for the benefit of the girls in and around Lawrence. Thursday night, Lunn made good use of the most potent section of his favorite line book over the phone. The boys discovered latter that the lovely miss on the other end of the line has three cars. Now
all 86 of them are from the south.
No ice in town! Catastrophe for the Phi Bete's initiation Saturday night, but the boys sent recruits to Tonganoxie and produced 150 lbs, so that the event was undoubtedly a successful occasion. The boys on recruitment were sidetracked by the sensational new dance, the "Tonganoxie Shoe Shine." If you have not acquired this new art, send your appeals to the "Filthy Five" Club.
The Kaw Koettes put on the dog in a big way Saturday night. Guests for dinner were Cpt. and Mrs. Nunn, Miss Lear, Lucy Nunn, and John Hayne. Jill Peck prepared the dinner from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Results were delush supreme—real butter, real beef in the meat loaf, and even flowers on the table. The one inch meringue on the butter-scotch pie was swell, but Jill, what
brand of vanilla did you use for that penetrating flavor?
John Rutledge and Reed Whetstone, Phi Psi roommates, are at it again! Friday night at the Dinea-Mite, they indulged in a typical brotherly-love argument until Whetstone fumed up with, "Well, Rut, I've had about enough of this," and out flew the fists. The two bluffs successfully frightened all of the onlooking maids, until Bob Little played the role of peacemaker. Sometimes I wonder about you, "Rut."

Sport Chatter
By Bob Bock
It is probably true that most college coaches will be looking quite glum this fall, especially if they don't have a navy training program in their school and are still trying to organize a team. Those coaches who do have navy boys at their disposal are trusting their fates to Lady Luck.
Amos Alonzo Stagg, the granddaddy of football coaches, states that he has the best material that he has had in years, since many big time stars have been stationed in the V-12 unit at his little College of the Pacific. On the other hand, one famous grid mentor at a large eastern university reports that out of the entire V-12 group at his university only one really good football player has been found.
Here at the university, the V-12 material is neither exceptionally good nor particularly poor as there are only a few of the navy boys who have had any previous college football experience—but just think what K.U.'s football prospects would be if it weren't for the V-12!
Basketball may be a thing of the past at Kansas State next winter, according to M. F. Ahearn, athletic director. Even though basketball is considered a major college sport and will be carried on by other conference schools, Kansas State faces the problem of not having any place to play.
The problem arose when the army trainees moved in and took over Nichols gymnasium for their military training work. Now without a court and an uncertainty of players, Kansas State may be forced to abandon its court season for the duration.
Basketball Coach O. L. "Chill!" Cochran has followed his predecessor, Jack Gardner, to the navy, leaving the Wildcats without a coach at the present.
Although the Wildcats wound up in the Big Six cellar last season, they furnished plenty of fight and opposition for their opponents in many of their cage tilts.
Ahearn stated that he hoped to have the Wildcats play basketball next winter if the gym would be available because it would give the college students and army trainees relaxation from their class work during the winter months. So far as is known at this time, Kansas State is the only Big Six school likely to drop one of the major sports.
RESEARCH--the department of speech and dramatic art, department of journalism and the University Kansan, the American College Quill Club, Extension division, and other organizations, has an extensive account in his diary of all the organizations to which he gave time and energy.
(continued from page one) dents of the said University, and those associated therewith, and to provide means, methods, and agencies by which their scientific discoveries, inventions, and processes may be developed, applied and patented to their greatest advantage and that of the University and the public; and to furnish the means, methods and agencies for the administration and disposition of patent lights and other interests pertaining o such discoveries, inventions and processes, and to pay the necessary and appropriate expense thereof. By the establishment of the Research Foundation, the Engineering experiment Station, housed in the new stabilized earth block building at the University, becomes automatically merged with the new organization.
Dr. Edwin M. Hopkins, former professor of English, who retired from active teaching in 1937 after serving in the English department 46 years, has for 71 years kept a personal diary, making daily notations
Prof. Keeps Diary For University
When a small boy attending a country school near Kent, New York, Edwin Hopkins began his diary. His mother made her ten-year-old son a little booklet about 4 inches by 3 inches in size, in which he began his daily records. The first entry is dated April 16, 1872, and Professor Hopkins has continued each evening to write the activities of the day.
The accounts in the early booklet are brief but homely. Professor Hopkins enjoys reading between the lines and giving interesting details of the recorded events.
He has followed no special theme or pattern in his daily entries, but it contains a thoroughly comprehensive account of his personal activities and the activities of the University since he came to Lawrence in 1889, a Princeton graduate, to take up the duties as a member of the staff of the department of English.
Since Professor Hopkins has been so closely connected with, and organized or started so many University activities and departments, his diary has often proved very useful in verifying data.
Few on the campus know that this elderly gentleman was K.U.'s first football coach and was the University of Kansas representative when the Missouri Valley Conference was organized, now known as the Big Six. The first K.U.-M.U. football game was played, according to Professor Hopkins, on October 31, 1891. K.U. won that first game by a 22 to 8 score.
Several years ago there was some controversy as to the score of that 1891 game. Professor Hopkins settled the matter by referring to his diary.
So this retired professor, who besides starting football at the University, organized or helped to found,
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, realizing the value the diary would be to the University in compiling a history or for substantiating dates and circumstances, has asked Professor Hopkins to give the diary to the University when he has finished it.
Professor Hopkins, in telling about the request, laughingly said, "There is nothing in it, but if the University can use it, all right."
"I have had more fun than anybody else I know," laughed this professor who, although nearing his 81st birthday, is young in spirit.
"I would like to write a book and entitle it 'Comic History of a College Professor.' Of course my diary would be my outline," said Mr. Hopkins.
Mr. Hopkins is an enthusiastic trout fisherman, and enjoys cycling and mountain climbing. His name is found in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Education, and other listings of men of accomplishment.
This sumer he is living quietly at his home at 1234 Mississippi and will not take his usual fishing trip in the West.

An upperclassman who begins in the fall term this year can complete the sequence by March 1. Eleven credits of work are required, and two other courses are suggested, but optional.
The four-year major curriculum in journalism is not affected by the Minor; the latter includes only a few fundamental courses and is designed to meet the war shortage emergency, Professor Beth explained. The professional major curricula in journalism and advertising are offered to those who wish to major in the department.

BIG FUTURE---when he is not teaching class or helping students. "This work," he summarized, "is trying to find all the causes of the disease that may be injected into animals for experimental purposes. Until causes are found, remedies cannot be invented to counteract them. The theory now is that cancer-producing compounds are related to normal body products."
(continued from page one) dents ever take enough chemistry to classify them as actual professional chemists.
"It is true that all the A- and V-12 men are required to take two basic courses (Chem. II and III), but there are only a limited number who go on any farther with their study of chemistry," he brought out. "Women, especially, never take enough chemistry to ever get very highly skilled, but even so there is a great demand for workers who have had as little as one or two years of straight college chemistry," he said
"Chemical engineers in the Navy may be released to private industry unless other help can be secured." Prof. Vander Werf explained. "It is only a possibility under consideration, but the shortage of good help is getting worse with the expansion of industry and the step may soon be necessary. Senior chemistry majors and graduate students are given deferments right now."
Occupations that are short of workers include high octane gas research and analysis in the petroleum industry, (this field, according to Dr. Vander Werf, has the greatest future.) Present-day engines on cars are not equipped to use such high octane as yet, even though the price has come down during the past few years from $35 to 19 cents a gallon. Compression ratios on engines will have to be changed.
Private industries now making war materials request more workers. Most of these places plan to work on plastics during peace time and anyone interested in such a field has an unlimited opportunity in the future at such an occupation.
Assistant teachers are still needed, and pharmaceutical houses are asking for help. Incidentally, according to Vander Werf, these houses offer the neatest and cleanest kind of place for women to work.
Dr Vander Werf is working on research connected with synthesis of cancer-producing compo und s
While attending college at Ohio State, Vander Werf first became interested in the study of cancer. He believes the chemist will be able to make the man of tomorrow able to live a longer and happier life. And, even if the man is unhappy, he can be so in comfort.

K.U. Graduates Covered Crash
A coincidence of interest to the University, and particularly to the Journalism department, is the fact that the two St. Louis afternoon papers on August 2 printed eye-witness accounts of the fatal glider crash of the afternoon before and both accounts were written by former K.U. men, now editorial staff writers on St. Louis dailies.
It so happened that each of these men, Ferd Gottlieb, a member of the editorial page staff of the Post-Dispatch since 1932 and Ray Runnion, an editorial writer for the Star-Times, had gone that afternoon to Lambert Municipal airport, not as a newspaper man, but as a "dad" to show the sights to an air minded son.
Each of these men is an ex-Kansan, each attended K.U., and each graduated with the class of 1921, stated Prof. L. N. Flint, to whom one of the newspapermen has written an account of how the story was covered.
Another coincidence was that both accounts appeared headed by a small block in italics stating the account was by a member of the editorial staff and was an eye-witness report. In each case the wording was almost identical.
Mr. Gottlieb, in writing to Professor Flint, said the crash was a horrifying thing to see. He sent Professor Flint copies of both the Post-Dispatch and the Star-Times with the accounts. It was the biggest local story for St. Louis since the 1927 tornado, he stated.
William Daugherty, who graduated from the Journalism department in 1930, is also an editorial writer on the St. Louis Star-Times.

8 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Nearly 100 young women who completed their training in the first aeronautical technicians program at the University, have returned to the factories of the companies on whose payrolls they were during their training period. Those who qualify as aeronautical technicians are employed in the engineering divisions of the plants where they assist the engineers in drafting, stress analysis, weight control, production planning, material control, and production illustration.
Open Saturdays to 9:30 p.m.
Salaries are $100 per month during the training period. The University is the only school in the country where the school of engineering is collaborating with two major aircraft companies in this type of program. The whole program has been worked out by the production training men of the airplane companies with the department of aeronautical engineering at the University, and was an outgrowth of several situations in which department heads in the plants had requested trained technicians for specific jobs.

'Strictly Scuttlebutt'
By Lt. (j.g.) C. V. McGuigan U.S.N.R.
It isn't scuttlebutt—it's rain, and cool weather. That's the best news in recent weeks. The trainees love the cool weather, and the remark is often heard, "Gee, it's just like California weather." Do you mean the cool weather or the rain? The answer can be obtained from A. C. Tribe, of the 11th Division.
And speaking of the 11th Division, it's farewell to a swell outfit, and the writer of this column couldn't be prejudiced—or could he? However, the 11th has set a fine record, and, being the first of the new divisions composed of only 125 men, they have followed the example set by the previous 200 men divisions very ably. Special congrats are in order on their part of the present war bond drive, as 91.2 percent of the 11th has more than 10 percent of their income allotted to the purchase of war bonds.
Continuing our farewells, we say "Not good-by, but until we meet again," to Ensigns Kenton Collinson, W. E. Draper, and J. J. Sullivan, jr. All three leave in the very near future for further training in the Supply Corps, and a new assignment. All three will be missed at the school, by officers and trainees alike.
Be seeing you next week, and look for the announcement of the promotion of one of our most able yeomen at this station. Nothing official yet, but darned good scuttlebutt.

Professor Is State Checker Of Measures
By Dolores Sulzman
"Which should be checked—the weights and measures or the weighers and measurers?" This is the question brought out by Prof. M. E. Rice, associate professor of physics.
In room 11, Blake hall, the weights, measures, and balances of the state of Kansas are approved or "sealed" by Professor Rice, deputy state sealer. The appointed is appointed by Chancellor Deane W. Malott who is, by law, the ex office state sealer of weights and measures.
"A retailer and a good quality, sealed scale do not necessarily assure the buyer of a square deal." Professor Rice states. "The quality of the retailer must also be considered."

Nuckles Featured In 'Life' Article
Rola Nuckles, former instructor in the department of speech and who took his undergraduate work here, was featured in a recent issue of "Life" magazine as one of the rescuers of 161 seamen from the U. S. Cruiser Helena, which was sunk in the Solomons area.
Beneath Nuckles' picture were the following cutlines:
"A chief rescuer was Ensign Rolla Nuckles of Kansas City, boat officer aboard one of the destroyer-transports. He directed successful operations of the landing boats.
No Soap Saturday On Tyros
The long-awaited "am a ch o o r" hour at the Saturday night servicemen's dance wasn't. The shining talent of K.U.'s armed forces was to have been exhibited, but our "brave defenders" decided to keep their talents a military secret—or was it cold feet?
The show didn't go on!
According to the "Hey Mac!" column a week ago the PT's were getting tuned up for the event. PT-8 came through. Harold Phelps, the boy with the boogie beat, played "St. Louis Blues" and "Blues in the Night." He was really O.K. You never would have guessed it was his first public performance.
An expert accordian player from the USS Frank Strong was Frank Pinacci, Div. 12. The audience lapped up his "Tea for Two" and "Dark Town Strutter's Ball" and yelled for more.
Millard Ireland, announcer for WREN and MC of the evening, interrupted the squeeze box senade to say 13 was the lucky number of the evening. Stanley Kovacheff, A-12; J. B.

Army Is Eating In Lindley Now
A-12 and ASTP men ate their first meal in Lindley hall's new mess hall Friday evening, according to Bert Nash, University coordinator for the army training program. Meal periods are on two shifts, each shift taking care of about 400 men. An hour meal period is allowed for each group at noon and shorter periods for morning and evening meals. The men pass through a line and the food is served from the steam tables.
The mess hall is used as a study room for 300 men from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Installment of showers and toilet facilities is expected to be completed this week.
Trucker Charged Yesterday With Careless Driving
John F. Elvig, age 10, who suffered severe bruises and lacerations when hit by a truck near Lindley hall about 5:20 o'clock Friday evening is resting comfortably at Lawrence Memorial hospital, hospital attendants reported yesterday.
The X-ray examination at the hospital showed one small bone broken in the left foot, but his condition otherwise Monday was satisfactory.
John is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Elvig, 1511 Stratford road. He will be in the 5th grade at Pinckney school this winter. He has two sisters, one older and one younger.
The accident occurred when a truck driven by Robert Burchett, 1845 Maine, and owned by Lawrence Green, was going south on West Campus road, and in making a left hand turn to go east around the flower bed swung so that the back part of the truck went over the curb and up onto the flower bed. The boy had stepped to the curb of the flower bed after crossing the street and was sideswiped by the truck.
A group of A-12 students was forming near Lindley hall which made it hard to swing the truck around the corner of the flower bed. Cont. Arabie Morris of ASTP

Trainees Will Finish Course On August 28
Aeronautical technician trainees, numbering 165 this summer, are about to finish their 12-week course of study which began June 7, according to Henry S. Stillwell, associate professor of aeronautical engineering. The course will end August 28.
"The trainees are women who have graduated from high schools with courses in algebra and geometry and who, having made application to headquarters at K.U., were accepted by Boeing and North American airplane companies for future positions at their respective plants," stated Professor Stillwell. "The actual employment of these technicians is handled entirely by the two companies, but recommendations from the Experiment Station (mud hut)) are taken into consideration by the personnel department.
"This is the first state university to undertake such a program, and it is also the first place to turn its
"North American employees are identified by a slip of paper until they work at the plant itself," Professor Stillwell explained. "All Boeing workers are requested by the army to wear their badges while still training.

Former Librarian Now At Air Base
Miss Leva Lash, former reference librarian, was in Lawrence Saturday to attend the wedding of her brother, Capt. Billy B. Lash. She is employed as librarian at the Pratt air base.
Miss Lash resigned her position at Watson library several months ago to help establish a library at the air base. The work is very interesting, she stated, and although things are still disorganized, the library promises to be a fine one.
Confusing Is Word For Names
"Confoozin' but not amooozin'" is the attitude of the people on the campus whose names are so similar that they frequently receive each others invitations, mail, purchases, bills, and telephone calls.
Dr. A. W. Davidson, professor of chemistry, and K. W. Davidson, director of information, frequently receive mail belonging to the other one.
Mr. Davidson recently received an invitation to a wedding of two young people whose names he did not recognize. After several days of pondering over who they could be, he called Dr. Davidson. Yes, the couple were good friends of the doctor and his wife.
But "turn about is fair play" evidently, for the same thing happened to Dr. Davidson when he received a wedding invitation from friends of Mr. Davidson. (Gee, this could go on forever.)
Dr. F. C. Allen, professor of physical education, and Dr. H. C. Allen professor of chemistry, often receive letters and packages, as well as telephone calls that have been confused. Quite frequently Dr. F. C.

Miss Hoopes Didn't Cut Her Classes
By Dolores Sulzman
The morning was hot (hot—like it gets in Kansas); the class wiggle around all hour; the army maneuvering through the halls hadn't helped much. This just wasn't one of Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes' good days.
The reporter, green and a little uncertain, approached the disting- guished member of the department of English. She counted ten, took a deep breath, gulped, and said her piece.
"An interview." Miss Hoopes groaned. "Listen, sister, you go down to Potter's lake and jump in. I'm no good at interviews, and I hate the things. You run along now."
"Give me strength," the reporter breathed as she assured Miss Hoopes that there's not a person on the

McMorris Is Made Head Of Army Here
Lt. Col. Watson L. McMorris, for the past 18 months commandant of the R.O.T.C. coast artillery unit at Kansas State College at Manhattan, has been appointed acting commandant of all army units at the University, relieving Colonel William C. Washington. Colonel Washington is now undergoing a physical checkup in a hospital at Topeka. No mention has been made by the War Department what or where his next assignment will be.
Colonel McMorris was one of the officers who conducted the annual spring inspection of the University of Kansas R.O.T.C. this spring. Smith Transferred
Captain Smith has served on the military science staff here since last September. He received his original commission from the University of Minnesota in 1929 and was a member of the officer's reserve until last year.
Captain George Baxter Smith, formerly dean of the School of Education, who has been on the staff of the military science department since his call to active duty, has been transferred to an officer's replacement pool in California.
Smith became head of the School of Education of Iowa where he had been an associate professor of education. He received his doctor's degree from Teachers College of Columbia University.
Flying Cross Given To Former Student
Sgt. Darrell F. Houtz, former student at the University, has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his part in a perilous aerial journey from Port Moresby, New Guinea, to Australia a year ago. A damaged B-26 bomber was being moved and Sergeant Houtz volunteered to act as co-pilot.
On one occasion he saved the crew and the plane from destruction when the craft caught fire in the air and he extinguished the blaze. The recommendation read "for heroism and extraordinary achievement in the flight."

Upset Stomachs For Corbin Women
Several women living at Corbin hall are now in the University hospital suffering from intestinal disorders. Such disorders could be the results from several things, according to Dr. Beatrice Lins, physician at Watkins hospital. As yet the exact cause has not been decided upon. The names of the women who are in the hospital were not released, although the number is around fifteen.
One Corbin resident has gone home while recovering from the ailment.

Army Up In Arms Over Library Story In Friday Kansan
The Kansan has received a number of letters, both from servicemen and civilians, in response to the article which ran in last Friday's paper, headed "Library Is Now a Den of Wolves." Practically all of the letters run in the same vein, that of condemning the article as grossly unfair to the men and full of inaccuracies.
The editor of the Kansan wishes to state that such an upheaval is regretful, but he believes that the whole matter is a tempest in a teapot. For one thing, the article was never intended to be taken as literal, but as an entertaining feature. Also, reporters on newspapers are customarily anonymous, a matter which seems to have aroused the greatest resentment.
Parts of the letters published in this issue have been deleted, chiefly for the sake of decency and propriety, but also because of libel laws. Our regrets to those writers who believe their letters have been emasculated by the omission of such material.
Letter to the Editor
Lindley Hall
To "Lady Macbeth"—
I agree with at least one thing you said in your article in the Kansan for August 20. And that was your desire to keep your name a secret. Had I said anything like that, I'd be ashamed of it too.
Granted that some of your complaints are justified. There is a considerable amount of horseplay going on. However, if I were you, I'd check up on my statistics before I make statements about smoking inside buildings, about the number of men who really want to study, and about all soldiers being wolves.
And just jut yourself in the soldier's place. Suppose you had just emerged from six months confinement with no one but 75 to 100,000 others just like yourself, and were then thrown in with many attractive members of the opposite sex. Would you ignore them, freeze 'em dead?
If this is the welcome we are to receive from Kansas, don't be surprised when you hear us, singing loud and long. "We're loyal to you, Illinois."
Polsonously yours J. S. McClurg, Pvt. AUS
Dear Editor:
After reading the article "Library Is Now a Den of Wolves," we have decided to make a few comments on the subject.
Whenever a change is made, there are always those who favor it and
hose who oppose it. If any change were made at the University which would detract from its great name, we would be the first to defend the institution. This time is no exception.
The coming of the service men to the Kansas campus was a change and marked the innovation of new procedures and policies in the regular schedule of the University.
We have all been hearing the unjust objections to the presence of the service men on the campus. You must realize that there probably would be no University of Kansas during these war years if it weren't for the service men.
We have all been hearing malicious rumors and slander hurled against the service men stationed on this campus. With very few exceptions they have been untrue.
During the past few decades, the University has made noteworthy advancement in the peacetime academic world. If it is to continue on this road, it must do the same with its country at war by making every effort to convert all its facilities to present needs. (The United States government undoubtedly is paying a generous sum to the University for use of these facilities.)
Along with objections to the presence of the service men have come foul cries condemning them as not being gentlemen. Such gossip or such statements are not only untrue but seditious. We feel that the soldiers and sailors of the college training programs represent the very cream of American youth. Before becoming affiliated with the programs, they have to pass numerous interviews and examinations. When one realizes how comparatively simple it is for a civilian student to enroll in the University, it is not hard to believe that the caliber of these men is higher than that of average students. Many of the student service men stationed on the campus have traveled extensively, or have held prominent positions in civilian life.
Therefore, they naturally represent an excellent type of student.
When considering the patriotic aims of the student service men as compared with the average aims of the students, one can comprehend the all important goal toward which they are working. Certainly far more important than the ambitious personal aspirations of average students.
If cries are to be made because of the present change on the University campus, we almost think the service men should be making them. Certain groups of retailers have boosted their prices far beyond the OPA price ceilings in an effort to take advantage of the present situation. And there have been still other manifestations of unjust acts toward service men.
Yet we hear no grumbling or complaining on the part of the service men. They all feel that they are extremely fortunate in being able to benefit themselves as well as their country.
Next time we hear anyone criticizing our service men, let us remember if it were not for them there would probably be no University of Kansas for quite some time to come, and perhaps not even an America as we know it now.
Name Withheld.
Editor:
August 20,1943 Lindley Hall
This is in response to the unprovoked criticisms of the ASTR and ASTP which appeared in your illustrious tabloid under the title of, "The Library Is Now a Den of Wovles."
In the first place, there is necessarily a certain amount of confusion in the library due to the excessive number of fellows engaged in study. These boys, approximately five hundred of them, all earnestly desire to get their lessons, and by far the greater number of them are making a much greater effort to that end than the average civilian student. How many civilian students would study three hours an evening, six nights a week?
Granted, there are a few of our number who still cling to some puerile habits which are entirely out of place in their present environs. However, these few are definitely in the minority, and it works a great heardship on the majority of A-12's if the entire program is judged by the actions of such a small percentage of men.
In regard to the smoking, it has been our observation that these rules are being obeyed. However, as before, in a few isolated cases, infractions may be found, but this hardly merits the simile: "The clouds of smoke that float around there get as bad as they do in Willie's Grill."
From this simile of the "anonymous young lady," we have drawn the conclusion that she does not object to such inconveniences on some occasions.
In conclusion, may we say that most of us here are appreciative of the many advantages which the government has provided for us. We are earnestly striving to "make good" under this program, and we want the civilian students to know of our sincerity. Some have indubitably already drawn false conclusions as to the typical ASTP and ASTRP men from the overdrawn article to which we have been referring. We believe it necessary, in the interest of fair play, for you to do all in your power to rectify such judgments.
Sincerely yours,
literely yours,

My dear Miss Anonymous:
We appreciate the fact that the library is not the same quiet, secluded spot it may have been before the advent of the army. It is natural that you cannot put 500 men into a few rooms to study without having a certain amount of noise. We didn't ask to be put in the library to study and even before your article we had asked for another place.
Your article was probably well meant, but we wish that you had stuck more closely to the facts. As to changing the library into a burlesque show, we have been unable to find that anyone took his shirt off. The worst we could find was that several boys wore "T" shirts which are a little scanty, but the navy wears them as a regular uniform and no one seems to object.
We would also have appreciated the truth of the article much more if you had had enough sincerity in your convictions to back them up with your name. You should know that anyone who tries to convince someone else of something will not have much success if he doesn't believe in his statement enough to admit they are his. And we also haven't been able to find a single instance of where one of us whistled at a girl in the sacred confines of Watson library.
I hope you can also appreciate the trouble into which you have got us. We don't know what action the commandant will take as yet, but
you can assure yourself that he will take steps. I hope that after we are punished for something which exists more in your mind than any-place else, you find out about it and become very proud of yourself.
We are having so much free time and leisure around here that we really appreciate a little more trouble from a girl who is afraid to admit who she is. May I congratulate you.

To the Editor, Summer Session Kansan:
Whatever dyspepsia, mange, or frustration may have agitated the composition of the blast against the army which appeared in this week's Kansan is the concern of no one but its possessor: the fact that the conduct and behavior of some two hundred and fifty soldiers, wearing the uniform of their country, has been not only questioned but calumiously fulminated against is sufficient cause for grave concern and judicious investigation.
The article was in every respect either simply mendacious or an example of gross hyperbole. The statement concerning smoking in the library is false in toto, while the account of the dangers and indignities to which a young lady (sic!) is subjected upon entering or departing from the building would give a reader ignorant of the truth the idea that the favorite pastime of the soldiers is raping co-eds.
A brief poll around the campus discloses the fact that no untoward acts have occurred at all, and that county clerk of each county should be the sealer of weights and measures for the county and that the county clerk should have the care and custody of the county standards. The law was never active and a

(continued from page two) practically no one feels at all offended (for the most part, quite to the contrary) by the innocuous and humorously intended expressions of approval.
So far as noise in the library is concerned, experience at a number of institutions where learning and intellectual achievement are far more respected than in Kansas brings forth the conclusion that practically nowhere would a group of equal size and equal scholastic standing study with much less noise. I have been assured by those who know that this is particularly true in Watson library.
To be sure, it cannot be denied that those who innately lack personal pride and self-respect do not invariably gain them upon donning the uniform, but the ratio of this element in the group under attack is certainly no higher, shall we say, than that among the civilian students at the U.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lee Hull, Wichita, announce the marriage of their daughter, Mary Gene, to Warren Edward Snyder. The wedding took place Friday, Aug. 13, in Washington, D. C.
Mrs. Snyder received her A.B. in commercial arts this spring. She was a resident of Watkins hall, president of the Independent Student Association, and a member of Mortar Board.
Announce Marriage Of Hull-Snyder
Mr. Snyder was a Summerfield scholar and a member of Sigma Tau and Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternities. He was graduated from the mechanical engineering department of the School of Engineering this spring. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Snyder of Hutchinson, Kan.
Anyone who fails to differentiate, who ascribes indiscriminately to a large body the failings of a few individuals in it is guilty of gross injustice.
It would be well for our atrabilious and acidulous authoress to remind herself that none of the men in the A.S.T.P. program are here voluntarily; they were simply assigned to Kansas U. even as they might have been to the front lines in Sicily. Not one but would rather be elsewhere.
The backward wasteland of Kansas, still lingering in the shadows of Volsteadism, far removed from the amenities of civilization, is no fit home for a soldier or anyone else. As soon as the exigencies of the present emergency permit, we shall all be only too delighted to depart for more hospitable and appreciative regions.
Until then, having our orders, it is our desire to be on the best possible terms with the entire student body.

MEASURES----
911 Mass. St.
(continued from page one) survey conducted by Professor Rice several years ago bought negative reactions to the issue from 85 out of the 105 counties in Kansas. The county clerks felt that there was little need for a sealer in each county. Several large cities in the state have their own sealer of weights and measures.
"There is no regular inspection of wagon and truck scales, such as coal, stock and inside feed scales," said Professor Rice. "But the Department of Weights and Measures may try and prove measures, balances, and other measuring devices on the request from any person, corporation, or institution in the state, condemning or sealing them on the results of the testing."
"The most active inspection in recent years has been in connection with gasoline, oil and motor fuel measures under the Department of Revenue and Taxation and the Motor Fuel Department."
The condition of weights and measures in Kansas is probably good. Makers of weights and measures are under the close supervision of state departments of weights and measures. If the supervision is lax in Kansas, the supervision of other states is there for protection.
"In recent years, I have found very few scales that I would not seal," said Rice. "Often the inaccuracy was due to the fact that the machine was considerably worn."
A proposal to the state legislation on agencies to act as impartial checkers on users of weights and measures is a thing to which Professor Rice has given some thought.
In addition to testing and sealing scales, the state sealer has the care and custody of the authorized public standards of weights, measures, and balances owned by the state, keeps records and reports of the measuring devices sealed, and issues regulations for the guidance of county, municipal and all other inspectors of sealers of weights and measures.

Column
By BETTY LOU PERKINS
Not since the Christmas riot last year has the campus seen so much excitement as that caused by the item on the A.S.T.P. den of wolves in the library. Every army man on the Hill was complaining bitterly about it. The editor of the Kansan has received about 15 letters stating the other side of the question. I wonder, is the reason the A.S.T.P. objects so stronely because they all have guilty consciences?
By the way, the girls really do prefer the fatigue uniforms of the army to the khaki.
The Union fountain's business has picked up quite noticeably since the blonde cashier, Joanne, made an appearance. Probably more checks are being paid.
The evacuation of Corbin hall occurred Sunday. Nearly 20 girls from Corbin are now in Wattkins hospital. Several others were either sick at Corbin or went home. So this time the boys can believe the girls really were sick when they broke their dates.
Bill Haynes, Delt, and Bob Bellamy, Phi Psi, write that they're doing their best to make Purdue K.U. conscious. The men seem to be doing well by their Alma Mater. The Oberlin boys claim they have convinced 10 men that K.U. is the only place for them after the war. Fred Elsworth ought to be proud of them.
Jack Hines, D.U., will soon, we hope, have a band ready to play for some of our dances. All he needs news is Don Cousins. But what band doesn't?
Since the third time is charm. I believe Johnny Standberry spells his name Johnny Stanberry. Satisfied, Johnny?
MISS HOOPES
“Appointment, nothing,” Miss Hoopes replied, “we'll have that interview right now while I'm still good and mad.”
"Cut classes?" the interviewee asks with eyebrows raised. "Well, I guess not! When I went to school it was a matter of getting through so I could make a living. I didn't sleep through classes either. Why? Because I was interested in what was going on, and I stayed awake to listen—to the prof."
She led the reporter into a classroom and asked, in so many words, "what's on your so-called mind." The answer was, of course, "darn little" considering that the unfortunate reporter was bargaining only for an appointment and not the interview. Summoning together what presence of mind she could, the reporter carried on.
"When I took a quiz, I was always the first one through," she said. "I'd throw my quiz book on the desk, glare at the teacher, and stomp out madder than—I was mad! When I got the quiz back, I found I hadn't done so bad after all."
And the reporter wondered about that yarn Miss Hoopes tells about the lab course she took and in which she didn't do so well. The
Alumnus Given Silver Star
Major General Ennis C. Whitehead, deputy commander of the Fifth United States Army Air Force in the Southwest Pacific area, was decorated last week with the Silver Star for personal gallantry in action. General Whitehead is an alumnus of the University of Kansas.
The general, who also wears the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Distinguished Service Cross, left the University in 1917 to enter the first World War. He completed his college training after the war and reentered the air corps in 1920. He was promoted to the rank of brigadier general last year when he was in command of Luke Field, Arizona, and became a major general last March 25 for the part he played in the battle of the Bismarck Sea.
Lieut. Gen. George C. Kenney, commander of the Allied Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific, made the award to General Whitehead for the latter's role in the bombing of the Japanese at Mubo, New Guinea, July 6.
whole difficulty seemed to be that Miss Hoopes, all fair play, was trying to draw what she couldn't see under the microscope while the other kids copied the pictures out of the book.
Anyway the bottom had sort of fallen out of the interview. The reporter's whole idea was to console some of the weary students on the Hill by giving them a concrete example of a successful, well-informed faculty member who had been through all the woes of cutting classes and messing up quizzes and came out on top in spite of it all.
"I am definitely interested in the Armed Forces on this campus," she said. "That is in connection with the lawns."
Fellows, Miss Hoopes is staging a one-man campaign to keep you on the sidewalks. After the last war she developed a right sharp discipline technique—army style, while teachin second lieutenants and top sercents. And boys, she hasn't lost that technique. Ask the ASTP's who have the opportunity to find out.
"This hot weather is pretty hard on the students," Miss Hoopes admitted. "They're beginning to look pretty tired."

McMorris Has Been in Army 26 Years
By Dolores Sulzman
Since he was placed on active duty as a first lieutenant in the infantry in June, 1917, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, newly appointed acting commander of the army units at the University, has served continuously as a commissioned officer in the U. S. Army. Colonel McMorris assumed his duties Monday morning, relieving Col. William C. Washington who is undergoing a physical checkup in Topeka.
Colonel McMorris is a graduate of Georgetown University, Washington. D.C., where he was awarded the degree of LLB, in 1908.
While on duty at Fort Monroe, Va., in 1921, Colonel McMorris was transferred to the Coast Artillery Corps and had served in this branch of the army until his present appointment. He was a military aid to Presidents Harding and Coolidge.
The army career of Colonel Mc-Morris began when he entered the officer's training camp at Ft. Myer, Va., in 1917. During World War I he served as company commander of the second machine gun battalion and was on the First Division Staff of the fourth section (G-4) of General Pershing's Headquarters.

Union Explains Restrictions On Its Facilities
(Ed. Note: The following article was written by a member of the Memorial Union Operating Committee in an effort to clear up the status of servicemen in regard to use of the Union building's facilities.
Let us try to clarify the matter. We wholeheartedly wish that it were possible to offer every convenience at our command for the comfort and recreation of the Service men on the Hill, as well as the regular students.
A necessary explanation has long been forthcoming to certain groups who frequent the Union, and yet are not permitted free access to all facilities of the Union. We know that they feel "shut out" by not being allowed all of the privileges of the Union, which are numerous.
The Memorial Union Building has always had for its slogan, "Corner of the Campus, the Center of Activity." This is true as never before, with the limitations now upon recreation and the multitude of other services that the Union is performing.
However, we must consider it from this standpoint. That is, the Union is relatively independent from the University. It derives no (continued to page four)
'Nothing Definite' On Corbin Illnesses, Says Commissioner
Nothing definite was discovered Monday in the investigation on the cause of the stomach disorder suffered by a number of Corbin hall girls the first of this week, according to a statement by Howard Weindel, city sanitation commissioner.
"Apparently everything is cleared up," he said. "We are waiting for reinfections before stating any conclusions. So far there have been none."
All of the girls were released by Wednesday morning, according to Dr. Beatrice Lins, physician at Watkins hospital.
Travel Creates Job Bottleneck
Quite a large number of students who desire work for the fall term have not yet been placed, according to Miss Marie Miller, assistant to the adviser of women.
NUMBER 28
"The main difficulties in placing these young women are caused by the lack of transportation," said Miss Miller. "Most of the applicants cannot make trips to the campus, as was formerly the custom, and the employers therefore have not had the opportunity to talk with them.
"We have been asking that all students who have not yet been placed, and who are seeking employment for the fall and winter terms, come a day or two early so that they may be interviewed by the prospective employers."
Another steady two minute blast will occur at 12:10 p.m., indicating that the planes are leaving. There
Student jobs usually open up according to the enrollment. This year's tentative enrollment seems encouraging, according to Miss Miller.
"From the registration, which has been made largely through correspondence, it seems that the enrollment of women will be as high as usual," stated Miss Miller. "Applications for rooms and registrations for rush week all tend to verify our belief that the enrollment of women especially will be quite large."
A test of the air raid warning signals in Lawrence will be given Saturday, Aug. 28, at noon, according to an announcement by G. W. Bradshaw, commander of the Lawrence civilian defense corps. This test is scheduled over the nine states of the seventh defense region.
Air Raid Practice Tomorrow at Noon
At 12:05 p.m. a series of intermittent blasts during a two minute period will be sounded, meaning that the planes are here.
The first air raid warning signal to be given Saturday will be a two minute blast of the whistles beginning at 12 o'clock noon. This is the preliminary alarm, and in the case of an actual raid would mean that the planes are approaching.

Frats To Try New Procedure In Rush Week
A new plan for Fraternity Rush Week has been adopted by the Inter-fraternity council for the coming year. This plan consists of having each man interested in joining a fraternity register his name at the Men's Lounge of the Union building on September 23. Upon registering his name, he will then be given a set of rules to be followed, and will attend smokers which will be given by every fraternity participating in rush week on Thursday and Friday evenings, September 23 and 24.
During these smokers, the rushee will make dates with the fraternities of his choice and on Saturday morning, September 25, will register the dates made. The fraternities will then contact those men who have registered dates with them and rushing will be carried on Saturday

Reporter Takes Poll On Whistles
(Because numerous letters from servicement to the editor of the Kansan expressed the idea that women students like having men whistle appreciation of their appearance, a Kansan reporter interviewed several coeds for their reactions to those statements.)
"You boys are doing a wonderful job and we girls honor and respect you for it; but, you are tearing down our respect and admiration for you by those wolfish whistles. If you want us to be friendly, just smile."-Shirley Rinker.
Some of the girls who bravely offered their opinions on the matter of strange men greeting them in strange ways have brothers in the service and are really in sympathy with how the criticized fellows felt. Maybe some of them will get together and figure out a way that should be proper for strange men to address them in a neighborly fashion without appearing "wolfish" as the term has been tossed around.
By Catharine Brown
"I can't see that you fellas are gaining anything by whistling."— Edith Sula.
Sinve everyone has the right to his own opinion, all views taken for the poll were requested to reflect the interviewee's real reactions. Views collected are as follows:
"The remarks the boys make and the whistles they give as a girl passes are seldom complimentary. The girls here are students with work to do to prepare themselves for post-war work, and as the boys are here for more training, it would be best if everyone would do their job and forget the antics of high school."—Dorothy Gilstrap.

Meguiar Returns From Vacation
Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser to women, returned Tuesday from a vacation trip to Florida and Kentucky where she visited relatives.
"Traveling conditions are so crowded, I think I will stay at home for the duration," said Miss Muguiar. "I was fortunate to make connections all the time, but the crowds were terrible."
Miss Meguiar left her office July 1 and will return to her work Sept. 1. However, she plans to be in her office occasionally from now on.
A post graduate medical clinic on diseases of the chest will be held at five centers in the state—Kansas City, Parsons, Wichita, Salina, and Emporia—during the period from August 28 to September 5 inclusive. This is the second in a series of medical clinics arranged by the Kansas Medical Society and the Kansas State Board of Health and promoted through the extension division of the University.
To Hold Clinics For Physicians
"The increase in industrial occupations of the type that produce occupational lung diseases or complications of early tuberculosis makes it necessary that those in the medical profession know more about the early diagnosis of tuberculosis and differential diagnosis of lung diseases," said Harold G. Ingham, director of the extension division.
"The realization that the medical profession has not gone far enough in these diagnoses prompts immediate action for further instruction on chest diseases at this time."

The Ministerial Alliance and the YMCA are cooperating in a new venture this summer on the campus. Each Sunday morning at 8:15, a forty-five minute church service is held for men on the campus.
Church In Union For Service Men
Ministers from various churches downtown bring the message and the worship is led by the secretary of the Y, who has charge of arrangements. Religious work among the men in uniform is being undertaken by a committee from the Alliance consisting of Dr. Allison of the Methodist church; the Rev. Mr. Thomas of the Baptist church; the Rev. Mr. Barr of the Christian church; Dr. Price of the Wesley Foundation; and Harry O'Kane, chairman of the committee.
The services are being held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building, beginning with a prechapel sing as soon as the men finish breakfast. The Rev. Edwin F. Price, dean of the School of Religion, will speak this Sunday on "Prayer: Reality or Magic?" Dean Wampler, V-12 student from Chanute, will give a violin solo.
Schedule Set For Exams Sept. 8-11
The University Senate advisory committee yesterday approved an examination schedule for courses in the current 16 week term in the College of Liberal Arts. Examinations begin Wednesday, Sept. 8, and end Saturday, Sept. 11.
All five and four hour courses, and the three, two and one hour courses scheduled on the Monday, Wednesday. Friday sequence will be examined on Wednesday and Friday at their regular hour and place of meeting, stated the report of the senate committee on examinations.
Three, two and one hour courses scheduled on the Tuesday, Thursday. Saturday sequence will be examined on Thursday and Saturday at their regular hour and place.
"All examinations are limited to one hour on each of the days designated, and an instructor may elect to use only one of the two days provided. However, one hour courses are limited to one day for examinations in order that adjustments may be made between one hour courses meeting at the same hour" read the report of the committee, of which James C. Malin, professor of history, is chairman.
Because most University classrooms are being used throughout the day, it was impossible to schedule examinations over two-hour periods without seriously interrupting the programs of the military units, stated Chancellor Malott in explaining the new examination procedure.
Malott Scoffs At Maternal Fears For Girls
The case of the "jittery" mother who shudders at the thought of sending her daughter to a university in wartime because she fears friendships with "those soldiers and sailors" studying on the campus, brought a laugh and a rebuke today from Deane W. Mallott of the University of Kansas.
Chancelor Malott related that through the summer his office at Lawrence has been the receiving end of a flood of reports of maternal nervousness and protests against allowing young women to attend an institution of learning "where men in uniform are running around all the time."
Praise for Men
"Why those boys in service are restricted more completely in their activities than a sorority pledge," the chancelor scoffed. "Besides they are a selected, picked crop. They are the same type of men who always have attended college. They are wearing uniforms. That's all. They are typical, patriotic Ameri- (continued to page three)

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
Since it is the policy of the Kansan to voice as many opinions as possible; I would like to add mine to the list. The reference I am making is to the controversy of the moment, "Library is Now a Den of Wolves."
I believe that too much of an issue, is being made of a small matter. In the first place, the wrong impression was given in the article through the attempt to make it clever. There is a justified complaint in it—the library has been too noisy for concentrated study. So far as I could ascertain the noise was chatter and not wolfing.
The trouble with too many girls on the Hill is that they lay the blame on the service men for what has always been here. Any upper-classman girl should be able to remember assortments of whistling, comments, and counting of steps upon approaching the vicinity of the "Law Barn"—when there were pre-law students. And the days when there was nothing more exciting to date than a senior medic were not too dull!
Freshmen and sophomores on the Hill, have no conception of the typical college boys of three or four years ago. The few civilian men here now are not representative, consisting of engineers and premedics, who, shall we say, besides not being here in mass, are here for an objective.
As for the library being crowded, the exception in a normal time is to be able to find an empty or halfempty table. And the people complaining of undue noise have chatted with a date (or prospective) in the Reserve Room as much or more than any! (No instances cited.)
Most any girl can remember being whistled at since she first put on lipstick. Why all the hollering?
Anyone who has the capacity should recall a little psychology—remember the concept of mass action? Those with all the opinions about the service men—how many of them do you know individually?
And girls, the Bob's, Jack's, and Bill's in other service stations are not a bit different from those here. These guys have girl friends at home, too, who could and would tell you!
So when you girls start throwing the words around, stop and decide if you know what you are talking abqut—are you fair in your opinion?
Sincerely yours.

AMERICAN HEROES BY LEFF
A BATTLE IN THE JUNGLE
We help put Garand rifles in our heroes' hands with every War Bond bought.
"Shooting Fool" is what they called Pvt. Charles Zuke, of Big Rapids, Mich., because in line of duty he shot down 22 Jap snipers in New Guinea. He twice bagged Japs who were trying to pick off his captain, saving the officer's life. No sniper's nest is safe from his Garand rifle.
Someone spouted off about the Army taking off their shirts. Isn't that just too bad? Yet, the Navy wears T t-shirts as uniforms. And it may be the style but it's not very ladylike to run around in shorts, slacks, and dungoes.
Some people, who don't know the difference between the Navy and the V-12, have slandered us for things done by the latter. Why? The army has had the same trouble, as I have already found out.
And getting back to the co-eds, did you ever think it might be that the co-eds welcome all advances? Naturally you wouldn't think of that.
This may not seem to be any of our business, but the young lady who wrote the article picked not only on one branch of the service, but slandered all of us. In closing, we thought Idaho was bad, but now that we've seen Kansas, enough said.

Price Band To Play At Dance Saturday
An attraction this week at the Saturday night servicemen's dance will be Herbie Price's band. The Bundles for America organization is sponsoring the party and has arranged for the band to be augmented.
The theatre owners and managers of Lawrence are backing the dance a week from this Saturday. They are bringing in a vaudeville troupe from Kansas City to entertain the servicemen. The program will include dancers, musicians, and acrobats and a band from KMBC. The theatre managers are enrolling a new group of Junior Hostesses to help with the party.

To Begin Grid Workouts on September 1
CARLS GOOD CLOTHES
Shenk and his assistant, Elmer Schaake, expect Washburn to be a tough foe since the Capital City eleven will also be made up mainly of V-12 trainees.
"Although Washburn has only around 300 to 350 trainees while we have nearly 500," Shenk stated, "they have had just as many, if not more, football players out. The navy men here are nearly all engineers, the rest being pre-medics, and with their extremely difficult courses, not many can find time off to play football."
"Football practice will begin in earnest starting next Wednesday, Sept. 1." Coach Henry Shenk announced Wednesday. Suits will be checked out and a light workout will be held, Shenk added, and from then on, practice sessions will be held every day from 4:30 until 6:30, except Sundays.
With the opening game with Washburn only four weeks off, Coach Shenk is planning for some stiff workouts, since he will send his charges into this initial contest with only three and a half weeks' practice behind them.
On the other hand, out of the group at Washburn where they are taking college and basic work, there seems to be a better supply of footballers. Also, he continued, 200 of the 500 V-12's here are freshmen and consequently will be ineligible to compete until the first of November.
At present eight games have been scheduled with Saturday, November 13, still an open date. The schedule is as follows:
Sept. 24—Washburn at Topeka
Oct. 1—Denver at Denver
Oct. 9—Iowa State at Lawrence
Oct. 16—Washburn at Lawrence
Oct. 23—Nebraska at Lincoln
Oct. 30—Kansas State at Lawrence

Coach Henry Shenk, whose theory for successful football is "Blocking, blocking, and still more blocking," plans to stress this particular phase of the game foremost and above all else.
By Bob Bock
At the first practice session Tuesday all gridders will wear white jerseys except Junius Penny, star center on last year's eleven and the only returning regular, who will wear a blue jersey. Then as the men progress to such a point that the coaching staff feels that they are worthy of a place on the first squad, Coach Shenk wil permit them to wear one of the blue shirts.
Hence, Shenk hopes to have perhaps 4 or 5 "blue-backs" the first week, 10 or 15 by the second week, and perhaps 25 by the end of the third week, previous to the season's curtain raiser at Topeka with Wash-burn. These "men in blue" will comprise the first squad who will make the trip, and without a doubt all grid candidates will be fighting hard to rate a blue jersey.
For All Occasions RIDE THE BUS
Coach Shenk has added that once a boy has been considered a first teamer, that doesn't particularly mean that he can lay off and take it easy or back to the white shirted B squad he'll go. This plan should make for spirited competition and give the men a special incentive to work.

Most of the men in uniform are confined to barracks for study after 7:30 o'clock on school nights, the educator comforted the worrying mothers. Officers, chiefs, or sergeants patrol study halls. Registration in and out is essential. During the day, soldiers and sailors are busy, too. In addition to stringent technical courses, they have other responsibilities. Barracks have to be kept clean. There is inspection and drill.

"Footsie" Marcus, ASTP from Lindley, complains that his name has been the cause of annoyance to him since he started to school. "In class history," he mutters, "I just about get to sleep when someone mentions the name, Marcus. By the time I've mumbled some answer about not getting my lesson or giving all the excuses I've thought up for not having it, I discover to my horror that the teacher has been talking about some Marcus from the history book." By the way, Marcus is the author of that famous "Letter to the Editor" in last Tuesday's paper.

Women Get Cards On Closing Hours
All University women enrolled in the 16 week session received in the mail yesterday the postal cards sent out by the Women's Executive Committee of the All-Student Council for the purpose of determining the success of the new closing hours which have been given a trial period this summer.
"The women should realize that if they want these new hours to continue next fall, it is their duty to fill out and return the cards right away," Doris Larson, president of the WEC, stated. "Otherwise, if we are not convinced that the majority of the women are in favor of continuing the present hours, we will probably return this fall to the former closing hours."
The former hours were 10:30 p.m on Sunday through Thursday and 12:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday

For this reason it is obvious that the Union must be managed with an eye to costs. When such small items as ping-pong balls are purchased in fifty-dollar lots, one can see that it is essential to budget. Some may think that a large profit is being made by feeding the Naval Trainees. This is not true.
We are indeed very sorry that the Union can not be thrown open to all. It would be unfair to those holders of Activity Cards, Arrangements are now under way to make it possible for Servicemen to buy special Activity Cards which will include only those entertainments which they are at liberty to attend.

This new plan for rush week was adopted by the council for the purpose of cooperating with the war effort. It was pointed out that due to gas and tire rationing it would be impossible for the fraternities to carry on any extensive rush program.
Also, with many of their alumni and actives in the service, it would be difficult to contact men in many localities who would be interested in participating in rushing. The council believes that this program will help new men and those already enrolled at the University to contact and get acquainted with the fraternity systems.

VOLUME XXXI
One of the most important treatments of diseases to develop in the medical field recently is the Sister Kenny treatment of poliomyelitis, more commonly known as infantile paralysis. It has saved hundred of lives and has saved thousands more from being permanently crippled.
Nurses Know Kenny Method For Polio
"The Sister Kenny treatment is really quite simple," stated Mrs. Elma Stauffer, head nurse at Watkins hospital. "The response of the patients to this treatment is truly remarkable."
The size and shapes of the packs vary according to the size of the patient and the part of the body to which they are applied. Waterproof material such as rubber sheeting, oiled rayon, or poliofilm is used to cover the pack and a piece of dry material is then placed around the waterproofing.
The fundamental principle of the Kenny method is the application of wet heat to the affected areas. This is accomplished by placing steaming hot packs directly in contact with the skin. The packs must be made from at least 60 per cent material in order that the extreme heat will not burn the body. Treatment should begin immediately after the diagnosis of the disease has been made.
While the patient is critically ill, the packs may be changed as often as every fifteen minutes. When the pain lessens the packs are applied only during the day, permitting the

There are 35 children, between the ages of 2 to 5, evacuated from dangerous areas to the nursery's safety where they are cared for by a trained teaching staff.
The Jayhawk Nursery committee chairman, Prof. A. J. Mix, recently received a cablegram from England praising local "Jayhawkers" for the good will support to the Jayhawk Nursery at Rugby, England.
Mr. Voris urged the continued support of Lawrence citizens and of the students of the University both as a matter of sound social service and as a substantial gesture of good will to Britain.

Two Games Added To Grid Schedule
Two games have been added to the University football schedule for this fall, Karl Klooz, bursar and acting director of athletics, has announced.
Central State Teachers College of Warrensburg, Mo., will meet the Jayhawkers here on November 13, and the University team will play the Ft. Riley Centaurs at Fort Riley on November 27.
Add Instructor For Therapy
Miss Barbara Jewett, assistant director of the Neurological Institute, New York City, has been engaged as an instructor and as director of the Occupational Therapy program at the University for the next school year, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced.
Miss Jewett, who took her undergraduate degree from Indiana State Teachers' College at Terre Haute, has done graduate work at Wisconsin and at Iowa Universities. She was graduated from the Boston School of Occupational Therapy in 1942, and since then served as a therapist in the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital, Indianapolis, Ind., and as assistant director at the Neurological Institute in New York.
She will assume her new duties in September.
The Kansas City Naval Aviation Cadet Selection board has been authorized to resume enlistment of young men who have reached their seventh birth but not their eighteenth birthday anniversaries. Enlistment of such men was halted temporarily on July 1. Applicants must be either high school graduates or have a reasonable expectation of being graduated from high school by February 15, 1944.
None of those enlisting will be called for any sort of training until after they are graduated from high school, and none will receive flight training until they reach their eighteenth birthday, according to an announcement by the Board. All will be trained for commissions as naval or marine corps aviators, and it is expected that the majority will receive two semesters of college education before beginning their regular naval aviation training which requires from sixteen to eighteen months.
The Kansas City board's quota will be 30 men each month as compared with a former quota of 200 men a月.
Re-Open Enlistment Of Aviation Cadets
John Conard, University graduate this spring, and Glen Sankey, senior in electrical engineering, were ordered last Friday to report at the naval pre-flight school at Mount Vernon, Iowa, for training as naval aviation cadets. Both men were to report there today.

A-12 Marches In Formation At Attention
To take advantage of all opportunities to instill military habits, ASTP and ASTRP (A-12) students are marching to and from classes. This practice has been instituted in accordance with general order number 3 which pertains to the operation and regulation of the Army Specialized Training Unit at the University, Col. W. L. McMorris, commandant of the army units stated yesterday.
In some cases classes are broken up into small groups. If there are three or more students in the group, they will march in formation.
According to the order cadets will normally be marched in formation and at attention when on the campus. When the group is 30 men or fewer, the men march in columns of two's. In larger groups the formation is in columns of three's with platoon or section guides. One student is placed in charge of each formation and is responsible for the cadence and for moderating the rate of march after passing through doorways, etc.
Talent selected from the student body, Machinist Mates, and V-12 members will present a Happy Hour program at 7:45 o'clock Thursday night in Hoch auditorium. Herbie Price and his band will also play.
The object of these regulations, as stated in a memorandum from the War department, is to give potential officers an opportunity to exercise command and responsibility and to increase their leadership experience. The military administration and training of the Army Specialized Training unit is organized and operated under the "eadet system."
In addition to marching to academic classes, other army customs such as reporting results of roll calls are being carried out. These customs are compatible with the usages of the institution and the unusual conditions under which the instruction is being given. Responsibility for discipline and supervision of the barracks and study halls is placed on the trainee personnel.
The Happy Hour presentations which have been featured monthly during the past year for the entertainment of the Machinist Mates are under the direction of Chief Petty Officer George O. Starkey. The show Thursday will be the second to be given since the V-12 members arrived. Both groups of Navy men will attend.
"We have an excellent show plann for the men," stated Chief Starkey. "They will enjoy every minute of it, I am sure."

Weeds Give Trouble For Noses
"Kachoo! To exdoo be. Hit's dy haw fever adain."
Yes, the hay fever noses are "on the go" again. That creepy feeling high in the nose, followed at varying intervals with symptoms of a "bad coad" is more than imagination now for the unfortunate hay fever sufferers.
The pollen count goes upward and upward, and the disposition of victims of hay fever gets worse and worse. The sensitive noses find little comfort in the fact that the first frost will bring them relief. The poor tingling noses seem to regard the announcement this is going to be a good year for hay fever as little better than a death sentence. But if it helps matters any, the rains we've been having will make the weeds grow and with heavy winds the pollen should fill the air.

Kellogg Awards Have Been Made
One Kellogg loan and two Kellogg fund scholarships were tentatively granted and a curriculum for medical technology established at a meeting Thursday of the Kellogg fund committee. Dr. N. P. Sherwood, professor of bacteriology, is the chairman of the committee. Dr. C. J. Weber of Kansas City, Kansas, medical school, Dr. E. L. Treece, of the bacteriology department, and Dr C. F. Nelson, professor of biochemistry, are the other members.
The curriculum as set up will lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree and a certificate of medical technologist. Four school years at the University and one calendar year at the K.U. hospital at Rosedale are required. The students will major in bacteriology and have almost a major in chemistry, according to Dr. Sherwood.
"The curriculum has been in existence for a great many years and has been sent out by the department to bacteriology majors. At Dean Lawson's suggestion it was modified and tentatively approved by the committee to be put in the catalog of the University," said Dr. Sherwood.
About 15 students graduate each year from the bacteriological department. There are usually 45 to 55 majors in the school. The hospital in Kansas City can take 15 students now. If the need arises accommodations for more will be provided.
Ehlers Visiting at Home
Miss Dorothy Ehlers, aeronautical technician, left Saturday for Cawker City, Kansas, to spend a week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ehlers, before beginning work for the Boeing Aircraft Company of Wichita.
3 Changes In Office Of Registrar
The Chancellor has announced the following changes in the registrar's offices effective September 1:
Miss Emma Wagner, now secretary to the dean of the School of Business, will become secretary of the advanced standing committee and recorder for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, succeeding Miss Edna Teeter, who has resigned, effective August 31.
Mae Rublee, chief clerk in the registrar's office, will become assistant registrar.
Laurence C. Wooruff, registrar, has been appointed chairman of the committee on advanced standing, succeeding Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College, who resigned that position. The appointment was made by Chancellor Malott for the period intervening until the annual committee appointments made by the University Senate.
Miss Teeter's resignation terminates 18 years of service in the registrar's office. Her successor, Miss Wagner, has been in the office of the School of Business since the organization of the School in 1924.
Non-graduate students who wish to enter college before finishing high school must first be selected by the high school principal of the school he is attending. Only students who are seniors and in the highest ten per cent to their class in achievement are to be nominated. The principal of the high school fills out the nomination form which shows the classification, age, and rank in class of the students and the college he expects to attend and sends the form to the Board of Examiners Central Office in Fraser hall.
Board Favors Wider Admission Of H.S. Seniors
All institutions in the State of Kansas of collegiate rank are invited to join with the five state institutions in the practice of admitting non-graduates of high schools to freshman classes in college, according to a statement by Dr. A. H. Turney, professor of education and chairman of the State Board of Examiners. The Board met Saturday in the central office in room 121 Fraser hall.
This action was taken by the Central Board on recommendations of the Chancellor's Special Committee on irregular admissions.
Upon receipt of the nomination cards, the Central Office of the Board will send a test or tests to the principal of the high school with directions for administration. The Central Office scores the tests and

Hey, Mac!
By Eddie Johnson
A sad salt reports that the Hour of Charm, otherwise known as the awkward squad, is about as charming as a chief with a toothache and a couple of men AOL.
About 500 V-12 men were surprised to learn from "Salty's" letter to the editor that there is a difference between the Navy and the V-12. They'd still like to know just what it is. Probably it's comparable to the difference between a fleet and a battleship.
A survey of the fire escapes of the various PT boats might prove interesting. PT 3 has an ordinary steel ladder ending in a wooden chute designed to transfer the refugees across a deep outside staircase. Some fun, eh wot? PT 2 has no address but a couple of good strong lines. Monkeyshines again.
Some of the V-12 students have learned a fuller appreciation of their privilege of using the ship's service store. A chief walked into the canteen one day and both the Machinists Mates and the V-12 men present were soon very industriously cleaning up the place.
Kolland "Corky" Hamilton is at a loss to explain how he can go to sleep with his head at one end of an upper bunk and wake up with it at the other end. Try using your blanket these chilly nites, Corky.
PT 2 has developed a more dynamic version of the old cracker-crumbs-between - the - sheets trick. Joe "Queenie" Brasch certainly became dynamic when he climbed into his bunk and discovered it was already occupied by a locust (cicada, to be correct) very much alive and very indignant. However, the idea has its drawbacks. The whole ship was restricted for noise after taps.
There's another Happy Hour coming up, mates. Let's not make the front page again by failing to cooperate and put on a real show.
Many and lurid are the descriptions of the G.I. shoes as the latest issue is being broken in. Cheer up mates, this isn't nearly so bad as it would be if you didn't have that comfortable first issue to wear while your dogs recuperate.
We missed this column last week and will be glad to have you back writing it again soon, Grief.
List Appointments Of Teachers Bureau
Several new teaching appointments have been made by the Teacher Placement Bureau according to H. E. Chandler, director of the bureau. These placements are as follows:
June Hammett, BME, 1943, teacher of music in the city schools of Platte City, Mo.; Doris Larson, AB, 1943, teacher of biology in Norwich high school; Beverly Brown, AB, 1942, teacher of English in Santa Fe, N. M. high school; Dorothy Ansdell, BSEJ, 1941, teacher of commerce in Peabody high school.
Grace Martin, BSEJ, 1937, teacher of art in Montebello, Calif. junior high school; Louise McCormick, AB, 1929, teacher of English in Ottawa high school; Liona B. Fletcher, AM, 1920, teacher of mathematics in White City high school; H. O. Alleman, grad., superintendent of Lansing city schools; Myrth Haldeman, grad., teacher of chemistry in Oklahoma City, Okla., high school; and Elizabeth Raymond grad., librarian in Lawrence high school.
Women To Exceed Male Civilians By 3-to-1 Ratio
The ratio of women on the campus this fall to the number of men civilians will be 3 to 1, according to Dr. L. C. Woodruff, registrar.
"In the past years the men have outnumbered the women 2 to 1," he stated, "but of course this year the majority of our transcripts are those of women.
"An amusing thing to me is the fact that many transcripts have been coming in from women in the geographical areas from which the V-12 and A-12 boys have come," he added.
The first barrage balloon flown by the Marines at Parris Island was named "Swampy."
The United States paid about 5000 times as much per acre for the Virgin Islands as for the territory acquired by the Louisiana Purchase.

It has been rumored that the University of Nebraska athletic board may consider a ruling this fall "forbidding" the Cornhuskers' football opponents from using naval trainees. The reason for such a ruling is to protect Nebraska's 1943 squad, which will be made up of 17-year-old boys and 4-F's against squads manned by naval units. It is very unlikely that Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, or Iowa State would agree to such a proposal, and hence, were it carried through, Nebraska would very likely have to drop out of the Big Six for the duration.
- * *
Kansas State is equally as hard up and it is reported that summer practice had to be called off due to a manpower shortage, for on the best day only nine men reported.
Hugh Fullerton, Jr., tells that when the Minnesota publicity department wrote for dope on prospective football opponents, Michigan's Fred DeLano answered that Fritz Crisler will be able to call upon such players as Elroy Hirsch from Wisconsin, Paul White, Bob Wiese, Mervin Pregulman, and Julius Franks, Michigan letter winners last fall, "to say nothing of your own Mr. Bill Daley, for whom we extend our heartiest thanks."
Bob Steuber, Missouri's great halfback last year, lived up to his reputation as he sparked the college all-stars to a 27 to 7 triumph over the pro champions, the Washington Redskins. With the game less than five minutes old, Steuber set the all-star attack to going by grabbing one of Sammy Baugh's punches on his own 49. yard line and then threading his way the full distance to pay dirt, sprinting over untouched. Jack Lister, also a Missouri Tiger, and the only other Big Six player on the all-star squad, also saw service in the last few minutes of the game.

Dr. Allen Edits Service Newsletter
The third issue of the "Jayhawker Rebounds" came out last week. Written by Dr. F. C. Allen, the three-page mimeographed newsletter is sent to former physical education students and athletic stars of the University who are now in the armed services.
About a hundred copies of the latest issue were sent out. Dr. Allen writes it about once a month. He reports that Charlie Black, who broke the Big Six individual scoring record last winter with 33 points, has now broken the Utah State Agricultural Collegiate obstacle course record with a record of four seconds.
The paper has the addresses of former K.U. athletes in it, and excerpts from the some of their letters to Dr. Allen. He has added comments on some of the men and told what they are doing now. He also gives the men a brief summary of what has been going on on the campus since they left.
Only territories in the world without legally established time are Antartica and Greenland.

Why the recent distractions in the afternoon physics classes? Could it have been the innocent little maidens of Corbin hall flitting about the top deck of Watkin's hospital in their brief hospital gowns?

Sonny Love, formerly a popular K.U. fixture, is doing good work as a V-12 at the University of Pennsylvania. Last week he sent us the 23rd Psalm of the V-12's:
The Chief is my master, I dare not want.
He orderheit me over the obstacle course:
He maketh me roll in the dust.
Yea, thou I walk down the valleys
I must run up the hills.
Thy fist and thy foot, they frighten me;
Thou givest me security watch in the dead of the night;
Thou anointest my head with
lumps.
My sweat runneth over.
Surely his unfaltering eye shall follow me
All the days of my life,
And I will live in fear of the Chief forever.
A tip to all men from Larry Smith: Don't let your roommates dictate your love letters. Poor Larry—he's lost his California correspondence.

Muscle re-education is then instituted to develop mental awareness of alienated muscles and to re-establish muscle co-ordination. This aspect of the treatment should be carried out by physical therapy technicians.
"It is not known exactly how the application of these packs brings about recovery," said Mrs. Stauffer. "It is thought that the heat helps to relax the mus les thereby permitting re-education of the affected muscles much earlier."

Sister Kenny, Australian nurse, discovered the treatment several years ago while she was working in the Bush country, backwoods section of Australia. During a serious outbreak of the disease, she developed her own method of treatment because of inability to secure medical and nursing assistance. Sister Kenny first applied the packs for the purpose of relieving the acute pain, but discovered that the patients who had been treated with the hot packs evidenced remarkable recovery.
