Dear William:
There's an empty chair In the Daily
office tonight yours Bill at
its familiar place by your old batter
cd desk In the sports department's
nook
We closed your desk this afternoon
cleaned away the papers action
photographs the kneedeep pile of
newspaper mats publicity dope from
the other schools and assorted Junk
which hat accumulated and let
the desk top down
On top of It now reposes the pot of
flowers Nancy got for her birthday
They're drooping a little Bill — hang-
ing a little heavy Just like our hearts
Poor anguished tormented soul
They are used extensively by students
and professors who like to keep up
with current proceedings in politics
literature art geography or any of
the other numberoua subjects of in-
terest an the campus
“None of the magazines goes an-
used' Mrs Gunby remarked “Even
the mast scholarly magazines and
those dealing with highly specialized
subjects have a following among stu-
dents A large portion of the publica-
tions in the room are Journals of sci-
entific or literary societies and these
ticularlv interested’’

Women Will Take Positions

that yours must be steeped in j naturally are read only hy peooie par-
the misery of defeat And only a few
short momenta ago you left us with
imtUlng countenance and heart of good
cheer You knew we would win
you told ua so and then you went
—out Into tlaii great unknown Texas
Ratarday dawned bright and eager
ly we awaited the afternoon It came
at last and we gathered around the
radio dwelling in the happy confi-
dence that you were there on hand
to witness the great victory you knew
would coroe
Those opening minutes gladdened
our hearts Bin because we thought
of you and the elation that was yours
Even when Texas tied the score we
wen unshaken We knew your faith
would pull the Sooner thru and
sure enough before many minute
had passed they wen running wild
Then came that awful heart-cend-'
big final eight minutes We sat in
awesome silence dazed speechless
with fear clutching our innermost In-
nards The mighty bedlam of thous-
ands of screaming voices pierced the
solemn dignified atmosphere of the
office
Spellbound we could only listen the
announcer's voice crashed at our
ears and every word beat at our
hearts as a battering ram
We chewed at the corsets f tables
clutched at chain choked with emo-
tion and the bits of wood gnaw
ed off
We tore our insides out trying to
help the Sooner make that last
touchdown— mere six points but
tion is expected to be resumed shortly
however
The Saturday Review of Literature
and the Saturday Evening Post are
especially popular for incidental read-
ing matter among the students Mrs
Gunby noted Other popular maga-
zines in the field of general reading
matter are the American magazine

Saturday afternoon
WASHINGTON Oct 12 — (IP) —
Mary Anderson director of the wom-
en's bureau In the labor department
predicted Saturday that the national
defense program would alter the In-
dustrial status of women
She urged women to be alert to this
for their own good and for the good
of the defense program
When Uncle Sam built up the ram-
parts at the last World war period
women bobbed their hair Invaded in-
dustry — and stayed there The present
defense program will open new fields
to women and they are already wear-
ing slacks
Miss Anderson said the draft would
have an early effect on employment
of women
Allowing far the fact that this Is
peace-time conscription and rearma-
ment for defense and not moM'ixa-
tlon for war the women's bur-au has
dug Into records on the Increase In
employment of women in industry in
1914-1018— and also how well women
kept their toe-hold in the post World
war period
This range takes In the period prior
to the United States' entrance Into
the war the effects of this country's
i wartime drafts and readjustment to
six points which would have brought
joy to our souls And then a fum-
ble a mad scramble shouting
screaming “TEXAS RECOV-
ERS!" We cursed In agony Hell cer-
tainly hath no horror like that which
struck us down
A staff member stepped to the ra-
dio gently dropped it out the window
we went back to our places In the
office “Texss Takes OU 19-16" said
the headline which went to the com-
posing room
Increase in Esiploymrnt
Against this background Miss And-
erson forecast that as men now go
into military training and as Industry
is stimulated by the rearmament pro-
gram there will be an Increase in
the number of employment opportun-
ities for older men and women
Miss Anderson said there was a sur-
plus of labor In Industry at present
but added she expected this slack em
ployment" she said
She recommended that women now
should get preliminary training for
future opportunities
"Of course such training cannot
take the place of training on the
job" she said "but women should at
least know what a factory machine
looks like if they ilntend to operate
one"
Only by having preliminary knowl-
edge and training can women expect
to get a break with men in wages
and placement she said Of women
who write in the women’s bureau
for advice she said:
“We advise them first to register
with their home-town or state em-
ployment office then' to get industrial
training at night schools take voca-
tional course or courses offered hy
such organisations as the national
youth administration"
8hifts In Careers
It might he timely for women toj
consider the possibilities of profes-J
aional careers In fields— engineering
aeronautics map making— usually
thought of as maculine grounds Miss '
Anderson said j
The factory doors have been wider '
open for women than since before
the World war It may be after this
world upset there will be women
heading engineering firms building
bridges skyscrapers
As the young men first in training
come home and lake back their Jobs
other men will go into training In
addition increased industrial opera-
tons new industries will need added
man-power — ami woman-power — as
the present rearmament plan devel-
ops Benedict Crowell assistant secre-
tary of war director of munitions in
a study on "America's Munitions 917-
1918” reported that the industries
that sprang into prominence pn this
country's entrance into war— those
concerned with armaments— were
"not conspicuous employers of women
labor"
The number of women in the Iron
and steel Industry constituted
than 3 percent of the working force
in 1914 and but little more in 1916
Crowell found During the war the
proportion of women after the first
draft ns double the proportion In
1914 and more than treble after the
second draft
Inclusive One of the final steps was
an effort to make sure that an esti-
mated 4000000 migialory workers
and Itinerants were not overlooked
in the tally
Hobo Kosndup Urged
While emphasizing that it was the
duty of local official to see that such
men were registered officials said
they had appealed to federal state and
municipal agencies to cooperate
We ask them to visit transient
camps and other stopping places of I
migrants to make sure that the wan-
derers know about the rgeist ration re-!
quirement” Captain Ernest Culligan
draft Information officer said
Meanwhile the army announced
that In conformity with the new draft
law ita short-lived program for sc-
ceptance of one-year enlistments
would be terminated October 15
Thereafter men desiring to volun-
teer for one year's service will do so
through theii local selection boards
would be increased to 500000
The Wisconsin regents said they
were "loaning" Dvkitra to the federal
government as long as he was needed
Dykstra said he would assume his
new duties as soon as his appoint-
ment was confirmed by the senate
