Former Prexy's Ear Ailment Brings Two From Far East
A minor car ailment that bothered the late E. H. Lindley, former chancellor of the University, has attracted two Chinese students to the University of Kansas.
It all started back in 1940 when Dr. Lindley, who was traveling in China, consulted a Chinese physician, Dr. T. King, about his ear ailment. The Chinese doctor mentioned that he had a son who wanted to attend an American university. Dr. Lindley recommended K.U. and it was soon after that Mou Hui King enrolled at the University.
King was graduated in 1944 with a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering. He lived at Templin hall while here and was introduced to college life by participating in a "snipe" hunt led by Willis Tompkins, now assistant to the dean of men.
Meyer To Pirates From KC Blues
King is now an engineer employed by a power company in China. When he returned to China King met Tsu Kair Fung, another Chinese student who wished to come to America. King recommended K.U. and as a result Fung has been accepted by the Graduate school and will arrive in the United States the latter part of October.

Ancient Text Completes 42-Year Cycle
A 79-year old book was returned to the University today after an absence of 42 years and a trip half-way around the world.
The textbook, "Davies Surveying" copyrighted in 1864, was given to the engineering library by Raymond Lednicky, engineering sophomore.
An inscription in the book says that the late Prof. E. H. S. Bailey obtained the book in 1868 when he $ \textcircled{9} $
was 16 years old, and took the book to a student, V. E. Lednicky, who took it with him to the Philippine islands where he first started on his career as an engineer. Raymond Lednicky is that student's

The Bailey Chemistry laboratory is named in his honor.
If Broke, Try The Student Loan Fund
When that check doesn't come in you may find a life saver in the general student loan fund.
The fund started as a gift from the class of 1896. It exists only from individual contributions and from accrued interest.
All students except freshmen are eligible to apply for a loan if they have at least a "C" grade average. The maximum is $100, or the amount of books and fees. Loans may be renewed after one year if the 5 per cent accrued interest is paid.
During the depression many students applied for and received loans
through this fund. Payment was recently received for a loan granted back in 1929. The fund has granted six loans thus far this year.
A co-signer other than a student or faculty member is required.
Go To Hospital For Flu Shots
Influenza shots are available to anyone desiring to take them. Dr Ralph Canuteson, director of the student health service said today.
"Although there is no epidemic in sight the shots are offered as a service to all students, faculty members, employees and members of their families over 6 years old," Dr. Canutson explained.
Reactions are light and take place within 7 to 10 days after the shots. The shots usually last from two to three months. It is recommended that they be repeated later in the winter, Dr. Canuteson said.
Approximately 8,000 persons were vaccinated last year. As a result there was a reduction in colds, Dr. Canuteson said.
The shots are given at Watkins hospital during regular clinic hours; 8 a.m. to noon, 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. week days, and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

'We May Need Radar But We'll Find You'
Far to the rear of the room crowded with 250 students a faint voice answered "I can hear you, but I can't see you, sir."

Jewish Refugee Ships Stopped By Royal Navy
Jerusalem—(UP) — One of two refugee ships approaching Palestine with 3,596 Jews radioed today that "we shall reach Haifa tonight," indicating the abandonment of hope of running the British blockade.
Soon after the broadcast, British authorities in their first statement on the ships, reported that the convoy should be put into Haifa some time tonight.
"We now are cut off by the navy," the radio report from the immigrant vessel said. "In a few moments we will be entering territorial waters. We expect the navy to take us under its wing any moment."
The ships were arriving from the Black sea. One of them was named Redemption, the other Jewish State. Previous reports had indicated they hoped to steal through the blockade and put the refugees ashore somewhere along the north coast of Palestine.
In a late broadcast, however, a speaker, using English, said, "Do-stroyers are all around us. We greet Palestine Jewry. We shall reach Haifa tonight."
The message was followed by 10 minutes of singing and handclapping. Fire American Shibs
The two blockade runners were reported to be American-owned and largely American-manned. Three destroyers were held in reserve at Haifa, and the British brought up three transports—the Empire Rest, Empire Shelter and Empire Comfort—to deport the refugees.
In this connection, it seemed certain that they would be sent back where they came from—reportedly Hungary.
In any case, the ships were not expected in Haifa before midnight. The broadcast came from somewhere off the north coast and the British cannot seize them until they come inside Palestine territorial waters.
Turkish pilots who took the Redemption and Jewish State through the Dardanelles said Jews were packed on the two ships "like sardines" and even the pilot house and galley were jammed. The pilots smoked American cigarettes which the refugees had given them.
