YMCA Rifle Team Starts Practice
Although the Y.M.C.A. is a peaceful Christian organization, it believes in preparedness. It is sponsoring a rifle team because many of its members want to learn more about firing weapons.
Every Monday and Wednesday at 6 p.m.the team will be practicing in the Military Science building
The team is working on the four basic positions used in firing the .22 calibre rifle, prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing. Five shots are fired from each position plus three practice shots used in zeroing the rifle on the target.
Elton Noble, engineering freshman, is team manager. Other members are William Bell, and Walter J. Brown, College freshmen; William McGowney, engineering junior; Clair D. Eddy, College freshman; Davis Lane, fine arts freshman; T. N. Zutshi, engineering freshman; and Jack Meeker, fine arts sophomore.
A tire should not be worn constantly on the same wheel. Shifting them clockwise every 5,000 miles will produce even wear.
Sigma Nu Bowlers Take Over Lead
Sigma Nu vaulted into first place in the inter-fraternity bowling league last week by taking two close ones from third place Pi K.A. while the co-leaders, Sigma Phi Epsilon, were dropping two to Sig Alph.
Walter Hulen led the Sigma Nu assault, rolling a 212 to take high individual honors for the night. The league leaders also walked off with team honors, setting a new high 30 mark for the league.
Triangle, a new entry in the league, topped A.T.O. three times to pull into the first division with a five and four won-lost record. The Akee's also continued their winning ways by sweeping the series from Sigma Chi to move into a tie with A.T.O. for sixth place.

WE NEED A 40 HOUR DAY!
Today our electric system is more heavily loaded than at the wartime peak. The expected slump when war plants closed and war workers returned to their homes in other parts of the country, has failed to materialize.
Normally we plan and build 3 to 5 years ahead of anticipated load growth to provide an adequate margin of capacity. However, the war interrupted this program and expansion for a five-year period was at a standstill.
Now our building program is on the march again—but slowly. If you have tried to build so much as a five-room cottage you have a rough idea of the headaches involved in our large-scale expansion. Manpower, material and equipment still in short supply. The time required for manufacturing certain types of generating equipment—three years today compared to one before the war.
THE KANSAS ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY
We're spending $10,000,000 in the next three years on major construction. We're adding 70,000 kilowatts of generating capacity more than half as much again as our present supply—and building 160 miles of high voltage transmission lines. We're spending another $3,000,000 to improve and add to our distribution systems.
At best it is going to be a tight squeeze for the next two or three years to take care of the unprecedented postwar demand for electricity. Rationing of essential material would delay this program. We are making every effort to satisfy your demands and trust that curtailment of service will not become necessary.
Pass The Cigars, 'Hobby'
In a Lawrence drugstore is a showcase full of stationery. One of the boxes contains cards on which are embellished in large pink letters, "It's a Girl".
Encircling the cards is a paper bond which reads, "Created by Hobby".
