Do You Want To Shoot A Rifle?
If you are a woman and would like to shoot a rifle, there is a meeting of the women's rifle team at 7:15 p.m. Thursday in the Military Science building.
Col. K. E. Rosebush, professor of military science and tactics, said no experience is necessary as one semester will be spent learning the fundamentals and practicing for the matches.

The universities are Colorado A. & M, Ohio State university, University of Nebraska, University of Minnesota, South Dakota, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma A. & M, University of Missouri, Kansas State college, Iowa State university and the University of Texas.
Officers of the team elected last year are Kathleen Broers, president; Mary Ann Ward, vice-president; Peggy Sue Cloyd, secretary; Jane Keith, treasurer; and Janet Belt, safety officer.
Grant-Gaudreau Pinning
Grows Plum-Squash Tree
New Ashford, Mass—(UP—A large squash is growing in the branches of A. S. Beach's plum tree. Beach scat-ters feed on seeds at the base of the tree last year.
This summer a vine climbed the trunk, snaked into the branches and produced the squash—now 32 inches in circumference—which hangs among the plums.

Swallowed pins and broken arms are only two of the reasons for the many X-rays taken by Miss Virginia Detlor, X-ray technician at Watkins hospital.
There's Nothing To Hide
She Can See All The Way Through You
The type machine she operates should not be confused with the one used for chest X-rays, Miss Detlor said. She operates a stationary machine which has a bed on which the patient may lie.
All the X-rays she makes—15 to 20 a day—are at a doctor's request, she said.
Although most of the X-rays are of the chest and extremities, there are few people who manage to swallow things they shouldn't, Miss Detlor explained.
Miss Detlor has been at the hospital since 1938. She graduated from the University in 1936 with a degree in bacteriology and took post graduate work here for two years. Miss Detlor is from Lawrence.
University Of Oklahoma To Begin Baby-Sitting
A solution to student parents' baby-sitter problems may be in the offing at the University of Oklahoma.
A bill that would provide free child care for student parents during all home football games has been introduced into the student senate.
The bill calls for a $300' appropriation to provide a registered nurse for the service.
The stuff being dumped along the proposed memorial drive route is not official memorial association dirt.
Future Drive Gets Unofficial Dirt
Material from the Watson library excavation is being placed there because the University knows that a loot of valuable materials is better than two loads in the bush.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott said that the dirt should be stored there since it is the site of a future driveway. The filled areas can also serve as parking places.
"No actual work will begin on the memorial project until the money is on hand." Chancellor Mallott said.
Plans show the memorial driveway running from 13th and Oread, past the Memorial Union building, up Mississippi street, through the edge of Marvin grove behind Bailey Chemical laboratories, and on around the point of the promontory north of Frank Strong hall.
Parking Priority Is Explained
Student commuters have complained to the parking committee that they are forced to use more distant zones while students living in Lawrence parked in the best locations.
The office of the parking committee said that only physically disabled students and older faculty members are allowed to use Zone H behind Frank Strong hall. Any student who receives a disability permit has been examined first by Dr. Ralph Canuteon, the parking committee said.
Zone I on Mississippi street is being used, but the area north of Sunnyside known as Zone J has not been opened.
Hogs Use Bomb Carriers For Post-War Mess Kits
Cleveland—(UP)--The mud wallowing animals of the barnyard have new-fangled hog troughs these days, thanks to War Assets administration surplus goods and an idea by a Salem, Ohio, farm supply dealer.
After 171 Years A Bachelor
The converted bomb carrier are of heavy gauge steel; 5 feet long, wide and deep enough to hold just the right amount of feed.
The hogs are eating out of surplus incendiary bomb carriers because the dealer with the idea bought 600 government-surplus bomb carriers, placed them on sale as livestock feeding troughs and was sold out within a week.
New York-(UP)—Uncle Sam, a bachelor for 171 years, is going to get a wife, and a pretty glamorous one at that.
Football Wives Get Used To Good Books And No Husband
Burlington, Vt.—(UP)—The skeleton of a man found in the cellar of a home here is believed to be that of a soldier of the War of 1812: Historical records show that a spotted fever epidemic occurred in an army barracks which stood where the house now is located.
The International Institute of Artists and Photographers decided it was about time Uncle Sam got married, so they designed him a wife from a composite of Greer Garson, Linda Darnell and Loretta Young.
Oh, for the life of a football player's wife. No meals to cook, lubby out of town practically every other weekend. Sounds like heaven, doesn't it.
Her name will be Aunt Martha, the institute said, and henceforth she will appear in illustrations with Uncle Sam.
"Our country is based on the family," explained institute director Jo Mermel. "It is incongruous that Uncle Sam should still be a bachelor after 171 years."
Find War of 1812 Skeleton
However it does have its drawbacks, Mrs. Don Fambroug and Mrs. Otto Schnellbacher, wives of the team's co-captains, agreed as they stood
Mrs. Don Fambrough, and "Buckwheat," left and Mrs. Otto Schnellbacher.
marveling at the way Coach George Sauer ordered their husbands around. "Home was never like that," they sighed.
Then both women hastened to add,
"Don't get the idea that football players never go home. They do.
About 7:30 p.m. they stagger in too tired even to beat up the little woman."
"It's going a little far when you have to go to the practice field in order to see your own husband, especially when you have a blond curly headed son like Preston 'Buckwheat' Fambrough to chase from one goalpost to the other," Mrs. Fambrough laughed.
When asked how she felt watching her husband in a game, Mrs. Schnellbacher replied, "I get the same tense excited feeling the boys say they have just before the kickoff, but once the game starts it goes away."
Mrs. Fambrough confessed that a football wife hates to lose a game just as much as her husband. "You can almost cut the silent gloom around the house with a knife after they lose a close one," she concluded.
That is just a brief glimpse into what it's like to be a football widow, girls. If you're not discouraged by the prospects, the rest is up to you.
