Five Men Hurt In Auto Wreck Near Myers Hall
Five students were injured at around 1 a.m. today when their car smashed into a tree in front of Myers hall.
John Haddock, College sophomore, driver of the car received multiple bruises of the arm, shoulder, and knee. Dean Whitehead, pharmacy sophomore, Max Hand, College sophomore, Ralph Dicker, engineering sophomore, and Dwight Henry Thompson, medical student, received minor cuts and bruises. They were treated at Watkins hospital.
Haddock said the accident occurred at approximately 1 a. m. when he turned into Oread drive from 13th street and hit a tree on the east side of the street.
"I was lighting a cigarette and the glare blinded me," he said.
Tiddly-Winks Is The Rage
The right front windshield of the car was broken and the back of the front seat bent double, Haddock said.
Table tennis or tiddly-winks—take your pick and travel the Midwest.
Men in the 1240 Tennessee club have taken up tidly-winks and may ask the All-Student Council for funds to help defray expenses for a challenge match with the University of Missouri.
"After all," one councilman said "tiddly-winkers have as much right to $20 as table tennis stars."
All this came about when the Student Council granted $20 to help with expenses for three table tennis players who will compete in the National Intercollegiate tournament at Norman, Okla.
Arnold J. England, business senior, opposed the appropriation. "Students shouldn't be wasting their time on such nonsense," he said when asked about the tiddly-wink tournament, which was announced in the official bulletin Wednesday.

British Troops Quit Holy Land
Jerusalem, May 7 — (UP) — Between 3,000 and 4,000 British troops boarded the transport Georgie in Haifa harbor today for what the troops themselves said was a return to England.
The evacuation cut heavily into British troop strength in the Holy Land, last estimated at 20,000 men.
The British are scheduled to lay down their mandate at midnight May 14, at which time British forces no longer will be responsible for any part of Palestine except a narrow evacuation sector in and around Haifa.
By 11 am., more than 100 ballots had been cast in the election. The competition is between the Commerce party and Delta Sigma Phi, each backing a complete slate.
The British have brought in an estimated 5,000 crack marine commandos and other troops from Cyprus, Malta, and the Suez Canal zone to cover the evacuation of regular Palestine forces.
British Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin cabled the United Nations today that the British high commissioner in Palestine was "unable to appoint an emergency mayor for Jerusalem. Bevin asked the U.N. to do the job.
Fifteen International Red Cross nurses arrived in the Holy City to help care for refugees.
Jerusalem meanwhile remained quiet under a British cease-fire order, enforced by three heavy tanks that paraded back and forth across the British security zone.
WEATHER
Foreign consulates will take their own measures for protection when the British leave. French soldiers began guarding the French consulate and eight Americans, including some former marines, were guarding the U.S. consulate.

Sunday Is Mother's Day; Be At Home If You Can
Have you forgotten that day after tomorrow? Probably the "gift" that pleases mother's best is to have their children home on that day.
Have you forgotten that day after tomorrow is Mother's day?
Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Chi Omega Delta Gamma, Delta Delta Delta and Kappa Sigma will entertain their parents on the traditional day May 9. Chi Omega has postponed their Parents' day celebration until May 16.
The celebration of a day in honor of mothers dates back to the middle ages when, in England, the second Sunday in Lent was known as "Mothering Sunday." Unfortunately, the observance was abandoned in later centuries.
Since then, the holiday has been observed in organized houses. Mon-
Theta Phi Alpha cobined their Founder's day and Mother's day celebrations on May 1.
It was not until 1908 that any serious attempt 'was made to put Mothers' day back on the calendar. The idea originated with Miss Ann Jarvis, a Philadelphia Sunday school teacher. By 1914 it had gained sufficient popularity for congress to take legislative action to establish a Mother's day to be celebrated on the second Sunday in May.
chonsia hall, Miller hall, Watkins hall, Sigma Kappa, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Phi Delta Theta held Parents' day observations Sunday, May 2. Phi Delta Theta also honored their house-mother of the past 20 years, Mrs. J. H. Kreamer.
Celebrated May 1
Idea of Sunday School Teacher
Until 1943, an annual Mother's day was held here on the campus, with mothers of all registered students invited to attend festivities.
Other activities of the morning included two lectures, one by A. R. Maulsby, consumer sales manager of Kansas and Missouri for the Scoomy Vacuum Oil company, and E. R. Esch, personnel director of the City National Bank, Kansas City, Mo.
The University chapter of the American Association of University Professors will hold its annual spring meeting and dinner at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Union.
Mr. Mausley, who spoke on the subject "The Master Salesman," said that the confidence and good will of a customer depends upon service given by business and the salesman. The existence of business can be justified only in the service it gives, he added.
"The two most important groups of people in the world today, are those in high office, who have the power and duty to keep channels of trade open, and the American businessman whose duty is to keep channels of trade full of consumer's goods in such a way as not to jeopardize the peace of the world."
He said that the youth of today are "not looking for something to come back, but are looking to the future" and a new era is being started by the young men and women in a world that is being made a neighborhood by scientific developments.
Mr. Esch said that the work of a personnel manager in business today is scientific. There has been a complete change from the former close relationship of the boss and the employee, he said.
"The characteristics of a good personnel man should include an interest in, and a desire to know and understand workers and their problems. A personnel manager should be sincere and have the courage of his own convictions toward people and ideas."
It is also necessary, Mr. Esch said,
that a personnel man have an intellectual curiosity, backed up by education in a number of fields.
"In short it is imperative that he have a well rounded background."
AAUP Will Hold Annual Dinner
The program will include reports on, "The Economic Status of the Profession," by L. J. Pritchard, associate professor of finance; "Retirement Policies," by Spencer Smith, assistant professor of economics; and "Annual Meeting of the National Association," by J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering.
All members of the University faculty are eligible for membership in the association. Banquets and meetings are held about four times a year. E. O. Stene, associate professor of political science, is president.
