With spring here and summer just around the corner, many travel agencies are beginning to lure students with the springtime in the Mediterranean and new places and new faces.
Travel Agencies Offer Study Lure
By MARION McCOY
The travel folders are featuring educational tours to France, Italy, and England along with cosmopolitan, quickie, and popular tours throughout Europe.
An educational tour offers a seminar trip for students and teachers who are interested in obtaining official credits for their studies during the summer vacation. The available courses include a seminar in education and international organizations.
A university study tour includes a four-week course in either Switzerland or Austria in French, international education, or German. The credits are all applicable toward under- and post-graduate studies, but are subject to the
approval of the student's home school.
One program gives students an extra vacation on the way by going by ship, while still another features a 10-day trip by air. The air prices range from $661, sky tourist, to England and France to $1,917, sky tourist, for the Mediterranean tour to Spain, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Holy Land, Greece, Italy, and France.
A Mediterranean cruise is offered for 37 days to 12 countries and 14 ports at $975 up. The tours featured for the summer, whether they offer seminars or experience and travel, are aimed toward the student and educational opportunities.
Quill club is one of the oldest organizations on the campus. Founded in 1902 it published student writings in the Oread magazine.
By LEE RENYER
The club now has approximately 35 members. The members are students interested in creative writing and Dr. Walter I. Meserve, assistant professor of English, is their faculty advisor. At their meetings the members discuss their own writings or those of a well-known literary figure. Their magazine is now called "Quill."
Quill Is Club And Magazine
The club formerly supported by the All Student Council is now subsidized by the Chancellor. The Quillette was published this fall instead of Quill because of financial difficulties encountered last year, but the regular Quill will be published in April.
Christians See Lent As 'Spiritual Tithing'
When the Christian sets himself to sober reflection and solemn consecration throughout the days of Lent, he shares personally in the intense moral struggle which Jesus underwent from the beginning to the end.
Pope Gregory I described Lent as "the spiritual tithing of the year."
By GORDON HUDELSON
The 40-day fast is associated with Jesus' 40 days of fasting in the wilderness after his baptism and with his temptation by the devil.
The first, fourth, and last weeks of Lent are the most important and are strictly observed. The first week marks the beginning of Lent. The fourth week, called the Adoration of the Cross, commemorates the crucifixion of Christ. The last week Holy Week, begins the deepest intensification of Lenten seriousness with Passion Sunday. Holy Week is the oldest observance in the Christian tradition.
Custom has sanctioned the three-hour service as the chief memorial of Good Friday, the last day of Lent. Although this is a comparatively recent development, there are no clear regulations as to what
Lent originally was an enlargement of the Good Friday fast. In the seventh century, four days were added to the six Lenten weeks in order to provide a full 40 fasting days counting Sundays which do not count.

'should be its specific content'
New York — (U.P.)—Trans W or l d airlines announced today that it will begin using a new $45 million fleet of Super-G Constellations April 1 on daily non-stop flights between New York and Los Angeles.
By JOHN McMILLION
Because the University happened to need a smokestack climber back in 1914 they ended up with a carpentry foreman. Tobe Gulley, present foreman of the carpentry shop of the department of building and grounds, came to KU on July 27, 1914, when he was hired to erect scaffolding around a smokestack that was to be razed.
"They couldn't get any of the old fellows to climb the stack and put up the scaffolding." Tobe said, "so they came downtown where I was working on a house and hired me." Tobe has been here ever since, even refusing to leave for the big money offered by Sunflower during World War II.
The East-West flight will take about eight hours; the West-East flight about 7 hours and 15 minutes.
Mr. Gulley's department also builds all the platforms used for different ceremonies around the campus, such as the fieldhouse dedication, commencement, and band concerts. Currently they are finishing up the carpentry work connected with the rebuilding of the Natural History Museum panorama
The Lockheed Super-G Constellation features Curtiss-Wright turbocompound engines, weather -eye radar equipment and improved sound-proofing, TWA said.
Work in all kinds of weather has been done by Tobe and his crew. Once several years ago a severe rain and wind storm came up and blew the skylights off the library. The carpentry department was called upon to cover the openings with canvas in the middle of the storm.
In the 41 years that Tobe has been with the University many difficult situations have arisen and been coped with by the carpentry department. As the senior member of C. G. Bayles' nucleus of experienced men, Tobe is to a great deal responsible for the efficiency with which the carpentry department accomplishes its work.

What do you do with your soiled clothes?
Do you throw them in the bottom drawer, or closet floor? If so, Why?
You can't wear them while they are soiled! Every day that the dirt and body acids remain in the clothes,the fibers are becoming weakened so they give way to much faster wear at friction points. Have your apparel laundered regularly. It costs so little.
