War Memorial Near Completion
The opening Tuesday of Memorial drive marks the near completion of the World War II memorial.
The driveway, in conjunction with the campanile, is a permanent tribute to the sacrifices of 260 former University students who were killed in the war and 8,000 men and women who served in the armed forces.
The completed portion of the drive begins off Mississippi street just below Green hall. The class of 1946 furnished the marker at this point.
The drive arcs westward through the edge of Marvin grove to the point of promontory where the campanile stands. It moves southwestward just below the crest of the hill above Potter lake, past Snow hall and ends on West Campus road.
This section of Memorial drive is 2,630 feet long.
Memorial plantings will add to the driveway's beauty. The first was provided by the class of 1925 as its silver anniversary gift in 1950.
When entirely completed the driveway will form a loop around the campus. The south portion will be a 2,000-foot extension, creating a drive of more than a mile.
This is a rock garden of natural character, with plants including thymes, phlox and myrtle.
Recognizing the driveway as a part of the campus roadway system, the 1951 session of the state legislature appropriated $56,000 to complete the work.

GOP Leaders Here Sound Warning
Wichita, Kan.—(U.P.)—Republican leaders of Kansas, attending a $10-a-plate banquet here last night, sounded a warning that the GOP may be facing its last chance to win a national election.

All speakers were unanimous in their condemnation of corruption, immorality and ineptitude in the present Democratic administration.
