Rooms Needed For Relays Men

"We need all the rooms we can get and we need them right away," said Mrs. Faye Netzer of the housing office.

Beds are being brought in from Sunflower village. They will be put up in Robinson gymnasium to house those without other places to stay. Approximately 500 men will be able to stay in the gymnasium.

threatened for a time to spread deadly times, over the town.
Mr. Hill said the biggest worry was new oil fires. A shipment of 80,000 pounds of toamite—miracle enemy of oil fire—was en route from Baytown
He said latest reports from the water front were that one tank at the Republic Refinery, two at Atlantic and two at the Sid Richardson Refining company were on fire.

Sheepskins To Be A Thing Of The Past This Year
There will be no sheepskin in University diplomas. Starting spring all diplomas will be on per cent linen rag content paper.

Small Audience Sees Fine Show By KU Glee Club
By FRANK STALZER
A smaller-than-average audience attended the combined Men and Women Glee club concert in Hod auditorium Wednesday night, Directed by Irene Peabody and Joseph Wilkins, these groups turned in an attractive and almost flawless performance.
The selections ranged from light opera to Negro spirituals, and to contemporary and musical comedy numbers. They were well performed and sung with warmth and richness. Especially notable were the solos by Martha Weed, DeLloyd Tibbs and Jess Rose. The treatment of Jerome Kern's "All the Things Your Are" enclosed professional performances.
it was unfortunate that the place changing on the stage could not have been effected more smoothly. It was, however, a necessary evil.
At times the men were just a shade flat. The girls did not possess as much dynamic contrast and expression as the men, but they sang their attacks and releases much cleaner.
The hit of the evening, so far as the audience's reception indicated, was the "Grand Opera a la Jay-hawk," an amusing burlesque on grand opera ably handled by 10 of the men.
"Onward, Spirit of Kansas" was admirably done by the mixed group. The pop song was written by Jack Norman former Men's Glee club president.
The two accompaniists did a wonderful job and added much to an already fine performance.

You're Breaking Law
If you still have 1946 license tags on your car you'd better be careful, according to Col. Lathrop B. Read, superintendent of the Kansas highway patrol. It's a violation of Kansas motor vehicle laws and violators are subject to arrest.
This also applies to the 16 counties for which new tags have been issued. These tags are to be placed on the back of the car, but the front 1946 plates must be removed.
