Tom Yoe Failed To Attend Phi Beta Kappa Initiation
Tom Yoe, '39, director of public relations for the University is one of the few men in history who failed to appear at a Phi Beta Kappa initiation.
Mr. Yoe tells that two of his fraternity brothers failed to show up for the initiation too. One was busy playing dice and he was either trying to win back his losses or in a hot streak. Another was too busy playing golf and Mr. Yoe simply confused the dates.
He won't admit being a "brain" and says, "My grades got worse every semester I was here."
The chief concern of his job is to keep a "favorable press" for the University. This involves more than newspaper releases, but includes magazines, radio and now television.
Mr. Yoe's office is in 221 Strong hall. Assisting him are Mrs. Arnold Stricker, full-time secretary, Robert snair, Journalism senior, Jean Moorhouse, Education senior, and Elaine Gilchrist, College sophomore who are all part-time employees.
Independence, Kas., is his home. He attended Independence Junior college for two years and edited the college newspaper one year. His last two years of work were taken at the University in journalism.
He recalls the days when the Daily Kansan was a morning paper and the editors used to push their way through the snow on cold nights to edit copy. He never edited
The Daily Kansan, but was editor of the Jayhawker—because the job paid $40 a month.
Upon graduation he went to St. Louis and secured a job as editor of "Club Management," trade magazine for country club managers. Mr. Yoe was in the army from June, 1941, until January, 1946. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the infantry.
After being discharged he visited his mother who was a housemother at Baker university. He married one of the senior girls in his mother's house and returned to St. Louis and began working for "Club Management" again.
In July 1946 he obtained his present position with the University. Mr. Yoe can be heard from 2:30 to 2:45 p.m. on Monday over radio station KFKU with "News of Mt. Qread."

Good study habits are one of the secrets of a successful life, T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, told a "Radio Schoolhouse" audience Nov. 18. He spoke on the program "Youth Looks Ahead" over station KMBC-KFRM, Kansas City, Mo.
The program is designed to inform college students of the various occupations they might enter. Dean Cotterman represents the field of engineering.

Dean Carr outlined the course of study for the freshman year at the University of Kansas, and described some of the job opportunities in the field of engineering.

Dr. Storer's Son Injured
Norman W. Storer, 19, son of Dr. N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, was injured early Sunday when an automobile in which he and four other Fark college sophomores were riding overturned north of Parkville, Mo. One of the students was killed
Storer was treated at Research hospital, Kansas City, Mo., for a head laceration that required four stitches. He also suffered a bruise on the left leg. His condition was reported as good today by Dr. Storer who visited his son Sunday at Waverly hospital. Park college.
Dr. Storer said today his son had told him that the student, Herbert B. Rogers, Jr., 19, Topeka, who was killed was sitting in the back seat of the car with young Storer. Storer told his father a saxophone case, containing an instrument he had played earlier at a party, had been standing against the door and had apparently kept him from falling out of the car when the vehicle overturned.
The accident occurred when the headlight of an approaching car apparently blinded the driver, Don L. Jones, 19, Mission, Kan, and prevented him from seeing as he rounded a curve. Jones, who received a severe head injury, was thrown out of the car. The other two occupants were William W. Abbott, 18, Kansas City, Mo., suffering cuts and bruises; and William G. Odell, 18, Sapulpa, Okla., fractured right leg.

Japanese Cold Remedies Whatever Else, Are Unique
Of course, thousands of other equally sincere Japanese will tell you that the "noodles-and-tub" remedy went out 50 years ago and will insist that nothing can compare with a roasted orange for really knocking out a bad cold.
Tokyo—(U.P.)—The best cure for a cold, thousands of Japanese will swear, is to climb into a bath tub full of hot water and leisurely eat a bowl of noodles.
The real fault with the "noodles-and-tub" remedy, according to a qualified source, is that it is apt to become habit forming.
Tanaka-san, the neighborhood charcoal dealer, is the "qualified source." He does a good side business prescribing home remedies.
"You feel so good when you are in the tub eating noodles." Tanakasan said, "that you are likely to be tempted to order a bowl of noodles whenever you go to the bath house, even if you don't have a cold."
The roasted orange cure, Tanakasan continued, zoes like this.
"Take one orange. Put it on the fire and roast it until its outer skin is burned almost entirely black. The orange then is eaten—charred skin and all."
This remedy has the good quality of not being habit forming. As a matter of fact, Tanaka-san says, it is apt to taste "rather bitter."
Other "recognized" Japanese cold cures include drinking hot ginger tea, hot orange juice or hot radish

Tanaka-san admitted that one of the most popular cures makes ample use of sake, the world famous Japanese rice wine.
The cure is called "Tamagozake."
It is hot sake with egg.
The Governor Should Walk
"About a pint of sake is put in a pan and heated," Tanaka-san explained, "and then the yolk of one egg is put in and thoroughly beaten. It makes a good egg-nog and becomes an excellent cure for colds."
