Europe, Here We Come! Four Students Predict
While everyone else is debating between hitchhiking to Colorado or sacking potatoes in the home town grocery, four University students are already planning extensive trips to Europe this summer.
Edith and Janet Malott, College and fine arts juniors; Ann Learned
College junior; and John Schlagel, engineering senior, are all now planning
their respective tours to Europe.
American money goes a long way in some countries, according to Schlagel's report. A subway ride in Paris is $1½ cents in comparison with 10 cents in New York. Beer is four cents a bottle and wine 16 cents a quart in some countries.
The Malott sisters will join a student tour conducted by Marc Law of Topeka. Miss Learned will participate in the cooperative group living sponsored by American Youth Hostels, inc. Schlagel, who spent the past summer in Europe, will make the trip "on his own."
Miss Learned has been accepted by American Youth Hostels, inc. for an international German work project to be followed by a month's bicycling tour through France, Italy, and Switzerland. A political science major, she has chosen this way of travelling abroad in order to "better understand the countries and their peoples."
Schlagel believes travelling alone has several advantages over the group method of sight seeing. It gives one a pioneering spirit, is less expensive, and eliminates being confronted by tourist propaganda he says. This time, he intends to include the Scandanavian countries, Ireland, and Germany in his tour.
He plans to work for his passage 35 and from Europe. He will tour the continent by train, bicycle, and any other mode of travel which is convenient.
The Malott sisters describe their trip as "something we've always wanted to do." They have been preparing for it by enrolling in such courses as History of Architecture, History of Painting, and Great Artists.
They will cross the Atlantic on the Queen Mary. Their tour will include England, Scotland, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Italy, and France.
Their brother, Robert Malott,'48,
now a student at Harvard, will accompany them.
Student Wins Bridge Tournament
R. B. Snell, College sophomore was a member of the winning team at the first monthly master point tournament of the Four-No bridge club recently. Other winners were Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Wolf and Mrs Warren Casev of Lawrence.
The hands were scored according to the Mitchell movement which allows for a north-south winner and an east-west winner.
Homer Reed, College senior, and Robert Poolman, journalism junior, took second place among the east-west pairs. Two couples tied for second in the north-south group. They were James Feitz business senior, and Mrs. Irene Roberts of Lawrence, and Harry Lohrengel and Guy Smith, engineering seniors.
Former Student's Rites On Sunday
Rodney Selfridge, a lieutenant in the Air Corps, was killed at Ie Shima, May 20, 1945. While at the University, he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alba fraternity.
The body of Rodney Selfridge, a student in 45, will be returned to the United States Friday according to word received by the Alumni office today. The funeral will be held in Liberal, Sunday.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. W.
Selfridge, Liberal, contributed $2,500 to the memorial campanile.

Speaker Discusses Industry Problems
If industry and labor would cooperate most of the problems in industry would be solved. This is the opinion of Frank Dunkley, secretary of the Association of General Contractors, Topeka, who addressed the Society for the Advancement of Management recently.
Mr. Dunkley said that lack of cooperation, material shortages and lack of proper research add to the problems of contractors.
If more adequate research were provided, industry could improve; efficiency could rise, and cost could decrease. Mr. Dunkley said.
Mr. Dunkley was a student at the University from 1919 to 1923. He is a colonel in the national guard and served 34 years in the armed services **88VK65**
