Lawrence Streets Open But Slick
Lawrence streets were "open for all traffic" today following yesterday's light snow that turned streets into traffic hazards last night, J. C. Harper, city engineer, reported.
Only one accident caused by ice on the streets was reported by Lawrence police. A large semi-trailer truck skidded on the Kaw river bridge yesterday afternoon and blocked traffic for a short time between North Lawrence and Lawrence. No one was injured.
The city street department began spreading sand early this morning at dangerous intersections and stop signs. Several streets leading to the University campus were blocked during the night because of the ice. Barricades were removed this morning, Mr. Harper said.
The United Press reported snow for all of Kansas yesterday except the extreme southeastern corner. Temperatures dropped to 2 degrees below zero at Garden City early today and readings below 10 degrees were common in western sections of the state. In central and eastern Kansas low temperatures were in the lower to middle 20's.
The state highway patrol reported all roads in the state were hazardous from ice, except in the southeast corner. No roads were blocked but all were dangerous. The patrol advised motorists to stay off the highways except for absolutely necessary travel.
Armanav Continues Pay-Increase Fight
Lyle Martin, Armanav president, said Tuesday that 100 universities and colleges had been urged to join Armanav in sending petitions to congress asking for an increase in student-veterans' subsistence. Martin said 100 letters had been sent to veterans' organizations in each of the 48 states giving a report on the Armanav petition which consisted of a giant post card.
Martin's letter stated, "We are asking veterans' groups on over a hundred campuses to cooperate with us in circulating petitions of this type. Who can ignore "desk-size" postcards from nearly every school in the country? We believe we will get results! Will you help?"
A Field Trip To KC Can Last All Night
Prof. L. L. Waters, who teaches an investment class in addition to heading the bureau of business research, was telling a reporter about a field-trip his class would take to Kansas City.
"We will go to Kansas City Saturday to visit the Federal Reserve bank; Harris, Upham company, brokers; and the board of trade," Professor Waters said.
"And what time will you return?" the reporter inquired.
"Realizing the lure of the bright lights. I expect to return at 1 p.m." said Professor Waters. "As for my students, I expect most of them will return at 1 a.m." C'est la vole!
C'est la vie!
Army Asks For Officers
"We are encouraging all former officers of World War II to apply for their commissions in the regular army," Col. Kenneth E. Rosebush, R.O.T.C. commandant, said today. "It is desired that former officers who are graduating from accredited schools and colleges enter in a competitive tour of duty."
The tour consists of active duty of not less than two years, during which the officer will be closely observed and graded by his commanders, explained Colonel Rosebush.
"Weather officers, research and development officers in all fields, officers with a law degree, and those with a technical degree are particularly desired," he said.
The army director of personnel said that between 400 and 500 R. O. T.C. graduates and an equal number of officers serving on competitive tours will be annually selected for regular army commissions.

Foulston was graduated from the University in 1911 with an LL.B. degree. He was an original member of the Kansas judicial council and was known as a specialist in oil and gas law.
