Files of several Kansas newspapers in the possession of the Kansas Historical association are being microfilmed, according to an announcement in the association's quarterly.
Historians To Microfilm Papers
This process discourages papereating animals, and also makes more space available for other exhibits. Microfilming is one of the safest ways to insure a permanent record of past events.
Among the newspapers to be preserved are old issues of the Topeka State Journal, the Topeka Capital, and The Wichita Weekly Eagle. Records of a few Kansas churches and letters written by William Allen White, late editor of the Emporia Gazette, are also to be processed.
Coal Miners Quit As Employers Refuse Pensions
Pittsburgh, Pa., March 15—(UP)—John L. Lewis' demand for a $100-a-month miners pension touched off widespread strikes in the nation's soft coal fields today.
More than 138,000 of the United Mine workers' 400,000 members joined the walkout, and the number was increasing rapidly. An industry-wide stoppage was feared.
Thousands of miners who appeared at the mines ready to work went home when they heard that Mr. Lewis had declared the union's agreement had been "defaulted" by the operators' refusal to grant pensions.
The "captive" mines which supply the steel mills of the Pittsburgh district were hard hit. U. S. Steel corporation said it would be forced to curtail steel production if its mines remained closed for 10 days.
In Washington, it was reported the government was preparing to act against the walkout if it assumes proportions of a general tie-up. Cyrus Ching, head of the U.S. mediation and conciliation service, was warned that strikes in essential industries, such as coal will not be tolerated.
Village Rent Up For Vets
Student rents will be raised May 1, John A. LaMonica, Sunflower housing manager, said today. Although increased veteran subsistence allowance begins April 1, the Chicago regional office of the public housing administration will not raise Sunflower rents until May 1.
Married veteran students who have one or more children will be eligible to pay $30 rent monthly if they have no income except their subsistence allowance. Married veterans without children will be eligible to pay a minimum rent of $26.25, excluding furniture charges. Deductions for excess transportation costs have not set set.
The time lag will help veteran students to begin paying the higher rent without hardship, Mr. LaMonica said. Minimum rents still will be based on one-fourth of the veteran's total income.
The March issue of Popular Science magazine describes the heliodon, an invention of George M. Beal, professor of architecture, at the University.
Magazine Features KU Invention
The heliodon consists of a floodlight suspended over a table-like mirror which holds a scale model house. It shows architects how to use natural lighting to best advantage, while screening out excesive sunlight.
The heliodon duplicates the sun's path from sunrise to sunset. It can be adjusted to time of day, summer and winter positions, and also to latitude.
Interior lighting effects of the scale-model house can be observed through a glass floor.
Professor Beal said that he has received inquiries from Princeton university, the University of Florida and other schools which are interested in using the helliodon in architectural engineering classes. The machine was assembled at the University over a period of two years.

Students Write In Law Journal
top ranking and third year law students can now do critical legal writing, Dean F. Moreau announced today. A new student editorial board will publish law case analyses in the Kansas Bar Journal, official publication of the Kansas Bar association.
The University law school has been allotted a separate section of the Journal for writing of the students and also for materials prepared by the law faculty.
Bernard E. Nordling, second year student, has been selected as editor for this semester. Roger Tilbury, second year student, will be associate editor. They are the only official members of the board at present.
Twenty-five students have accepted invitations to report cases for the board. They were selected on a basis of academic standing. Upon successful completion of their first case analysis, they will become official members of the board. They are:
Ronald D. Albright, Laird S. Campbell, William C. Calvert, Clyde P. Daniel, Albert P. Early, Kenneth Harmon, Joseph E. Hensley, Donald E. Johnson, William A. Kelley, Eldon L. Lackey, Joseph D. Lysaught, Jack F. McKay, William P. Meek, Randall D. Palmer, Earl O'Connor, Payne H. Ratner, Earnest J. Rice, George A. Robb, Richard P. Royer, Henry H. Sinning, Franklin P. Snyder, Donald E. Underwood, Paul B. Watson, Mrs. Maxine W. Wood, and Mrs. Doris R. Burtscher
"In the past the students have contributed articles to the Journal, but their work has usually been done upon suggestion of the faculty and there has been no definite student editorial group." Dean Moreau said. The faculty organization committee is composed of Professor Rudu; M. Carl Slough, assistant professor; and Frank R. Pitt, associate professor. Weekly meetings will be held with these advisors to discuss recent important cases.
Fire Causes Damage To Offices, Shops
The students are now preparing case analyses for the first issue of the Journal, to be published in May.
Fire of undetermined origin caused an estimated several thousand dollars damage in downtown Lawrence this morning.
The fire is believed to have started between the first and second story floors of the Rexall drug store, 847 Massachusetts, shortly after 9 a.m. It spread rapidly to Green's Ready to Wear shop, where Paul Ingells, fire chief, said the bulk of the damage was done.
Several second floor office buildings were also slightly damaged. It took about an hour to get the fire under control but no one was injured, Mr. Ingells said.
Trojan Women Opens Tonight For 3 Day Run
The performance tonight will be the first time that a play by Euripides has been presented at the University. It will also be presented tomorrow and Wednesday nights.
First presentation of "The Trojan Women," a Greek tragedy by Euripides, will begin at 8:15 tonight in Fraser theater. It is being presented by members of the speech and drama department under the direction of Allen Crafton, professor of speech.
Robert Calderwood, assistant professor of speech, will play the god Poseidon; Frances Feist, instructor in speech, the goddess Pallas Athene; Mrs. Jessica Crafton, Hecuba, queen of Troy; Marian Joryrock, Cassandra, a prophetess; Darlene Van Biber, Andromache, wife of Hector; Betty Ann Hilts, Helen, wife of Menelaus; Haney Scott, Taltybhius, herald of the Greeks; Professor Crafton, Menelaus, king of Sparta; Josephine Skelton, Astyanax, son of Hector and Andromache.
the women of Troy are Mary K. Booth, Phyllis Genevieve Mowery, Margaret Jane Gosney, Alice Louise Lambert, Joan Woodward, Donna Lee Harrison, Geraldine Lee Catlett, Joy Godbehere, Imogene Frack, and Abigail Lois Bixby. The Greek soldiers are Harold Arnold Harvey, Loren Wilson Kennedy, Thomas Moore Shay, and Tom Pratt Rea.
Plays in Euripides' time were important matters and closely connected with contemporary life. Action in "The Trojan Women" showed the women of Troy before the half ruined walls of their city. They were to be apportioned by lot to Greek generals and captains as slaves the next morning.
Euripides believed that of all things that had sense and life the lot of woman was the most wretched. He believed women should be more than the slaves of their masters. He said they should be able to speak their own minds and live their own lives. He sympathized with women in the pain which they underwent. Euripides illustrated the hardships of women in his "The Trojan Women" and, by so doing, attempted to improve the standing of women.
