Dr. T. A. Kiesselbach, professor

An authority on hybrid corn,
Dr. Kiesselbach has done much re

should interest students learning

In the recommendation Miss
Lee pledged the willingness and
ability of her department to co-operate
with the War Emergency
committee on any war plan it
might make. The brief further ex
pressed that the physical educa
tion department for women fully
realized that it was merely one of
the various departments which
would be included in a well
rounded physical fitness program
such as war needs dictate, but
that whenever the university
w ished to "give the go signal'' on
such a program, this department
was "ready to travel."

Ag Campus Stamp Sales
Beat City Campus Efforts
Ag campus war stamp sales
greatly outnumbered the sale of
war stamps at any one of the city
campus booths in last Thursday's
war stamps sales sponsored by the
War Council.
In a slow and uninspired day of
way stamp sales the three city
campus booths and the ag campus
booth sold a total of $63.25 worth
of stamps to 225 students, only a
small fraction of the 4.600 stu
dents enrolled on the two cam
puses. The ag campus booth, with Ra
chel Ann Lock in charge, topped
For Lost Week
the sales record of the day by
selling to 96 students. Fifty-six
students purchased their stamps
from the booth in social sciences,
which was controlled by Tat Sand.
Pat Chamberlin's booth in the
Union sold stamps to 39 students,
and the booth in MA. with Morton
Zuber in charge, sold 34 students
war stamps.
The War Council intends to com
tinue the sales next Thursday and
urge more students to start war
stamp books.
Who Will Run U. S. Colleges!
"Who Will Run the Colleges?"
Time this week answers the question in the following
article commenting on the army, navy ami civilian part in
ooinlui-l ing universities during the war:
"Congress' lowering of the draft age to IS cleared ihe
college air. College officials, who had decided lhat any policy,
howcv.-r tough, was better than no policy, applauded. If Ihe
j. nilh draft did not settle the wartime fale of the 1,7(K'I U. S.
colle-cs (enrollment: about 1,120,000), it set the stage for a
settlement. Cleared up was the (;iicstion: who would u Io
college-only men in uniform and Ihe physically unfit. A
battle over a bis remaining question began behind closed doors
in Washington: Who would run the colleges, the army and
navy or civilians?
The army and navy wanted In lake over Ihe colleges lock,
slock and barrel. They proposed to pick 1he students and
prescribe iheir courses, eliminate everything from Ihe cuinc'i
linn but technical and essential professional studies.
College officials were just as determined io keep control.
The leaders of ihe American Council on Education had agreed
en a plan: Eel. military authorities and Ihe colleges jointly
pick from the nation's ablest hi'jli school eraduatcs the mem
bers of an Unlisted Training Corps, limited by military quotas.
Each enlist eo, put into ir ' "in and provided with base pay
and n living allowance. --house his own col I c ere, there
get lour semesters (abou . and a half) oi banc officer
1 raining under KOTC or college teachers. After that, picked
men would stay in college for advanced professional or tech
nical training, the rest would go directly into the armed forces.
Author of this plan was Harvard's President James Bryant
Conant. President Con ant and a fellow member of the three
man commit cc. that had cleared up the rubber mess, M. I. T.'s
President Karl Compton, joined in warning the nation that it
could no longer delay clearing up its college manpower mess.
Taking issue with army men who had declared that all students
were destined for the armed forces, 1hey pointed to the urgent
need for experts in war industry. Said President Compton: "My
own experience with the scientific program of the government
and the technical problems of Ihe services and of industry
convinces me lhat cut1in! off ihe continued supply of tech
nically competent men would be a nalional calamity."'
While men's colleges faced a great decision, women's col
leges also began 1o realize last week lhat ihey had come
Io a folk in Ihe road. Urging a national service act for women,
Ihe American Council on Education's President Ccorgc Zook
said: "It is clear thai women si udenls cannot expect to pursue
college as usual while their brothers and male friends are
rushed off . . . Courses for women are going to be directed
toward preparation for specific types of Mar seivicc . . . These
war jobs are going 1o appear to college women to be hard and
distasteful. Stronger Avoi-ds could be used f",' v. lnt many of
the iiicn arc going through."
