UNIVERSITY CORNER

Thirteen army officers attending
the school for orthopedic surgery
at the university got some actual
experience Wednesday. The men
OF the Sooner battalion were given
an examination of their feet by
these army officers, under the dircc-
tion of the university doctors, who
are professors in the school OF med
icine. A thorough examination OF
each individuals feet, identical to
that given to men applying for en-
listment in the army, was made.
For the first time in the history of
the university, graduate engineer
ing students will receive the degree
of engineer when Roy c. Mitchell,
b. S. rs, Ray Flood, B. s. IS, and
Clarence w. McFerron, b. S. III,
will be graduated next spring. The
candidate must present acceptable
evidence OF at least three years OF
practice in his profession, at least
one of which must have been in a
position of responsibility. He shall
present a satisfactory thesis upon
some engineering subject. This
thesis must cover investigation car
ried on personally by the applicant
for the degree. This is the first
time that any graduate students
have made application for the de-
gree of engineering, and in all
probability they will be granted.

CAN USE LATE SHIPPED FER.
TILIZER TO ADVANTAGE

Weather and war time conditions
have so delayed transportation that
il now seems certain that many cars
of fertilizer will reach their destina-
ton after the time OF planting the crop
on which they were to have been used.
1t will not be wise to delay planting
the crop to wait for the fertilizer. Nor
will it be wise to fail to use fertilizer.
The farmer cannot AFFORD to tie up his
money until another year and the
country needs the increased rood
which fertilizer will produce.
For corn, oats and potatoes late
applications are entirely practical and
may he used as late as three weeks
or a month after planting with excel
lent results. The fertilizer is simply
broadcast over the field. Cultivation
of corn and potatoes works It down to
the feeding roots Of the plants. With
oats II acts much the same way as
does a top-dressing on wheat.

Paddle Your Own Canoe

Don't get in the habit of depending on someone
else for every decision you make.
What if you should make a mistake? Others
have made mistakes before you.
Profit by your mistakes and don't let the mis-
take occur again.
You must learn independence eventually-why
not now?
Every problem which you take to another to
solve makes you much weaker. Nobody else can
live your life.
Moreover nobody else can know all that you
know concerning your circumstances. so why go to
that some one outside to find out what course to
pursue?
Use your own gray matter. 1t needs exercise.
If you don't use it it won't work as it should
when the time comes and you have at hand to
help you out, and you will be in a regular panic of
uncertainty which will lose you the if nothing
else will.
Don't call aid till you have exhausted every eff.
fort you can possibly exert.

Origin of Life

The many speculations that have been publish
ed concerning the origin of life on the earth and on
any other bodies in the universe where it may pos
sibly exist usually that in way other,
life germs" transported the CULTS of space
from one planet to another Thus it has been
suggested that life may have been brought to the
earth in meteors One of the recent suggestions
is the minute life germs may escape from the at
mosphere of planet in which life exists just as
molecules of the atmospheric gases believed to
escape from our terrestrial atmosphere and may be
driven by light pressure to some world where ply
steal conditions have become suitable support life.
While there is nothin. essentially absurd in these
hypothesis it is clear why their authors should
take it for granted that life cannot originate de
vo on a cooling planet.-Scentifc American.
The philosopher who remarked that life is like
mirror, if you smile into it the smile will be
turned to you,' overlooked the fact that can
smile into some mirrors which only reflect distort-
ed image in return.
