Crediting Agencies
May Forbid It,
Donovan Says
Granting degrees to graduating
seniors called or volunteering for
military service will be discussed
Wednesday in the meeting of the
University faculty, according to Dr.
Herman L. Donovan, president of
the University.
Dr. Donovan said that requirements of certain crediting agencies
must be met by granting degrees.
This point is illustrated in the
law college where the association of
American Law Schools requires six
full semesters for graduation. Dean
Alvin E. Evans said that the association will meet in Chicago this
month, and take action on the sub-

ject.
The University faculty. Is comr
posed of President Herman L. Donovan. Henry Hill, dean of the University; Frank D. Peterson, comptroller; Leo M. Chamberlain, registrar; and the deans of the seven

subject.

Dr. Donovan assured the
students that the University Is interested In their welfare and will
do all in their power to aid them
in this crisis.
WHAT BOYD SAYS
Dr. P. P. Boyd, Dean of the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences, told The
Kernel that he feels some distinc- tion should be made between the
volunteers and draftees.
"Students should be encouraged
not to drop out of school until necessary," he said.
"Degrees
certainly be
should
granted in case of conscription". Dr.
W. D. Funkhouser,
Dean of the
Graduate School, said. He also favors some provision for voulnteers.
The Student Bar association was
first campus organizatic n to
noor8 the - proposal. which also
contains a clause granting credits
to undergraduates for their semester's work if not completed.

USES LESS GAS,
GRAHAM

Experiments
In Coal Distillation
Are Being Staged

'

By ROBERT BORDEN
Development of a new airplane
motor designed to consume less gaso
line with a new type of valve construction is nearing completion in
the engineering college. Dean J. H.
Graham announced yesterday.
The development began with com- scrapping of a principle of
valve construction. By using less fuel
the new motor will permit planes
make longer flights, or to trans-- 1
port heavier loads through reduction
In the amount of gasoline to be
carried.
At the same time experiments in
distillation of coal
are being staged. Kentucky coal can
be made to produce both
motor fuel and phenols, which
are used In the making of high explosives and plastics. Appriximately
30 to 40 gallons of gasoline will be
obtained from each ton of coal.
Dean Graham commented that
Professor C. S. Crotis "has carried
forward his work on his own initia- with little encouragement from
others and with inadequate labora- tory equipment."
However. Graham aded, becuuse
of the growing needs of the defense
program an incrasing public inter- est in smokeless fuel, this work is
receiving more attention.

Those who will be kept in the
employment will be determined by
the need for employment and the
grades that are made. Those who
need the work less and whose
grades are not adequate will be
dropped first.
"Steps will be taken to place the
students In outside work to prevent any having to leave school,"
Dean Sarah B. Holmes said.
It was requested that any who
did not absolutely need NYA work
might lessen their working hours
or stop work altogether.
"We do not want any of you to
leave school," Dean Hill said, "but
we would like for you all. especially
the men, to keep an eye open for
possible positions downtown or In

been notably successful In their particular fields following graduation.
To compete for the Lances' scholarship, the applicant must submit

BETTY PUGH

Christmas is in the air again
which is all well and good but for
its own good Christmas can do with
a little criticism. Now we. personally, are in favor of Christmas. It's
a great thing for business and promotes a lot of happiness in the
majority of cases but we sometimes wonder if it hasn't become
too much a celebration of the season of Acquisitiveness.
It seems to have turned into a
pastime of Want and Get and the
idea that Christmas might be one
of the things fundamentally wrong
with the world which can stand
looking into. Undoubtedly Chrst-ma- s,
as we know it today, encourages a love of Getting in the juvenile mind and might in time lead
g
to a very selfish,
adult state of mind
It has been
said many times before that people
who Get too much are one of the
causes of our modern difficulties.
Certainly, all the wars of late have
been the direct result of too much
getting on the part of some and
on the side
too much
J of the other.

Short Letter On Christmas Eve

Dear Jim,
It may ne crazy for me to be
writing you a letter when I could
step into the next room and see
you sleeping peacefully there, dark
hair curling softly around your face
and your story books, "The Night
Eefore Chritmas" and the story of
the Christ Child, lying on the table
beside your bed. But the whole
world has gone crazy, Jim.
It is Christmas Eve. 1941. the anniversary of the Savior's birth. All
ever the world tonight, millions of
men are at war dying for greed
and selfishness
