The second annual Kansas American Legion rehabilitation stamp fund serve to aid disabled veterans and families will open Jan. 24. Approximately 90,000 Kansas families will receive 100 of the seals. Each letter to the Legionnaires and auxiliary members will contain a request that they return a contribution of whatever amount they wish.
Stamp Drive Starts Jan.24
"The 1949 campaign for rehabilitation funds," says Kenneth L. Young, Topoka, director, "is aimed primarily for contributions from among the Kansas Legionnaires and auxiliary members. However, contributions will be acceptable from any source and anyone wishing to purchase the seals should contact the local American Legion post."
Joe Nickell, Topeka, department commander of the American Legion, urges all Legionnaires and auxiliary members to buy and use the stamps.
"All money received from the sale of rehabilitation stamps will be spent exclusively by the American Legion on work with the hospitalized and disabled veterans, or their dependents, within Kansas." Mr. Nickell said in explaining the purpose of the rehabilitation stamp program.
The calendar of events for the Pershing Rifles, the coming semester will be presented at the next meeting, Thursday, Feb. 10, Grant Vonderschmidt, captain, said.
Rifles To Set Events
Three committees, social, rushing and plans and initiation are working on the calendar now.
Little Man On Campus
"He does it with mirrors—I never saw a prof so touchy about crib notes."
In 1911, with the advent of Prof. Merle Thorpe as the first full time director, the department of journalism and the University Daily Kansas were moved into the basement of Medical hall. Slowly the department of journalism took over the building. By 1913 the Jayhawk referred to it as the Journalism building. It finally became recognized as the Journalism building in 1923.
Wrecker, Spare That Shack! Touch Not A Single Stone!
Now the famed old Journalism building is scheduled to be vacated again as soon as the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information can move to Fowler shops.
The scene of much bitterness and strife, the Journalism building, is again waiting for its occupants to move to different quarters. In its 65-year history "The Shack," as it is referred to by Journalism students, has housed four different schools and departments.
183 the complaints of the faculty of the University hit a high pitch.
In 1883 the complaints to m. They maintained they were too crowded in the one building on Mt. Oread. Kansas had a record enrollment of 400 students, and the faculty wanted a new chemistry building. After much controversy and debate, the legislature finally consented to add a second building to the fast-growing University.
A site 50 feet southwest of University hall, now known as Fraser, was selected for the site of the new chemistry building. An appropriation of $4,000 and permission to use an unexpended interest fund of $8,000 was granted. In January, 1884, Prof. E. H. S. Bailey moved his equipment and classes into the new Chemistry hall.
This resulted in a clamor for a new chemistry building, and the legislature finally okayed funds for Bailey chemical laboratories. The chemistry and pharmacy departments took it over in 1900. The medical department moved into old Chemistry hall, which was renamed Medical hall.
Then more bitterness burst forth. The University was still expanding and the pharmacy department had to share the building with chemistry, although the faculty argued that there wasn't enough room for both departments. The legislature gave permission for the excavation of a basement, but this did not solve the problem. The place was so damp that the professors who had their offices, laboratories, and classes in the basement began to suffer from attacks of malaria fever.
All students planning to take Western Civilization must register during enrollment for proctorial appointments next semester although they may be enrolled in Western Civilization this semester, Miss Louise Cochran, assistant director, said today.
Must Register For New Proctors
A conflict in class schedules may make a change in proctors necessary for some students, she explained. Students may also request a change if desired, she added.
The exact time and place for appointments will be scheduled after enrollment.
Belvidere, Ill—(UP)—A. W. Taylor was fined for a parking meter violation. Taylor is a former parking meters saleman.
Salesman Has A Frankenstein
Japs Start Rumor That Tojo Is Alive
Tokyo—(UP)—Fanta stic rumors that former Premier Hideki Tojo is still alive are spreading in some of the rural areas of Japan, it was reported today.
Another rumor, to which the simple Japanese country folk seem to be giving credence, says that Tojo's remains and those of the six other major Japanese war criminals were flown to the United states after they were hanged.
Freeze Brings Ice Jam--Floods
By UNITED PRESS
A new cold wave had struck Kansas and Missouri today, sending the mercury down to zero at three points in Kansas and to a low of 4 above at Tarkio, Mo.
Goodland, Phillipsburg and Hiih City all reported zero readings and numerous other points shivered in 5.6, and 7 degree temperatures.
A tremendous ice jam had swollen the Missouri river at Atchison, causing the water to leave the banks and flood many miles of lowlands south and north of Atchison and across the river at Winthrop, Mo.
Fourteen homes were evacuated at Winthrop and farmers removed household goods and livestock all along a 10-mile stretch of the river.
Ralph Aldrich, government river forecaster in Kansas City, said the river receded about six inches at Atchison as a result of the overflow last night, but when the ice jam breaks Mr. Aldrich said the river may rise as much as 10 feet at Kansas City. He said, however, there would be no flood threat at Kansas City.
The highway patrol reported some sections on the east bank of the river at Atchison under five feet of water, but all roads were open except one leading to Sugar lake. 16 miles south of St. Joseph, M. Sugar lake left its bank in three places, threatening 81 cottages. About 250 residents were evacuating furniture and household goods in that area.
Five passenger cars, two trucks and a bulldozer belonging to the Pine Bluff sand and gravel company, were parked near the bridge at Atchison when the river overflowed. All were flooded and crushed by the ice.
There were no casualties reported in the flooded area and officials were reluctant to estimate the damages.
Traffic Fines At Indiana U.
Provides Three Scholarships
Bloomington, Ind.—(UP)—Traffic violators on the Indiana university campus are setting up new scholarships for other students with the fines they pay. Dean of Students R. L. Shoemaker said three new science scholarships have been made possible by the fines.
Place Lines Where Curves Show And Blake Hall Becomes The Law 'Barn'
It takes more than a little imagination to see any resemblance between Blake Hall, named for a former physics professor, and Green hall, the law building. Yet, the original plans for Blake Hall, drawn up in 1893, called for a building similar to present day Green hall.
When Lucian I. Blake, professor at the University from 1887 to 1906, was giving lectures at Wichita in 1892, he met a young architect named Wells. They drew up plans for a new physics building at K.U. and submitted them to the state architect. Professional jealousy, according to a Daily Kansas clipping of Jan. 24, 1919, led the state architecture to draw up his plans as different from those of Wells as possible, hence the unusual architecture of Blake hall. The article gives no source of information.
Finished in 1895 at the cost of $58,000, it was first known as the Physics building, but was named Blake hall in honor of Professor Blake in 1898.
Blake hall was built in chateau renaissance style, and constructed of native limestone and brick, faced on the facade and sides with Cleveland sandstone. No iron was used in the building below the third story, so as not to interfere with a galvanometer used in electricity experiments. For several years before the completion of Robinson gymnasium, the top floor of Blake hall was used as a gymnasium for the women students in the University.
MacLeish Will Address Students In Hoch Feb.4
Archibald MacLeish, former United States delegate to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural organization, will address the all-student convocation in Hoch auditorium Friday, Feb. 4. The subject of his speech is "U.N.E.S.C.O., An Experiment in Peace."
Mr. MacLeish was chairman of the United States delegation to the original U.N.E.S.C.O. organizational conference in London. In 1946, he served as vice-chairman in Paris of the delegates of the United States. He later became the United States representative on the executive board of that organization.
He was librarian of congress from 1939 to 1941, when he resigned to become assistant secretary of state. He resigned this post in 1945 to enter the field of international relations with U.N.E.S.C.O.
Mr. MacLeish is a former Pulitzer prize winner in poetry. Some of his published works are "Conquista," "Active," "Froceso of the Rock, Morke菲尔's City."
After his graduation from Yale university, Mr. MacLeish entered the Harvard Law School. His education there was interrupted by two years service in the army.
