K. U.'s Little Church Around The Corner
Seventy-five couples have been married here in Danforth chapel since it was dedicated a year ago to a life of leading students to aspire nobly, to adventure daringly, and to serve humbly. The chapel, situated at the top of 14th street hill and Oread drive, was given to the students by William H. Danforth, his friends, and faculty members.
Danforth Sets 75th Couple On Way On Its Birthday
We're having a birthday on the campus.
Go April 2 Danforth chapel will be one year old. This year the chapel has become a meeting place for student religious groups.
On this first anniversary the strains of the Wedding March will ring out for the 75th time in Danforth as Mary Wisner, College junior, and Harry Lees, Fine Arts sophomore, are married. The first couple to be
united in the campus chapel, were Robert Fisher and the former Leone Sandow, who are still students at the University.
Reservations For June
Miss Doreus Rubley, secretary to the chancellor, who keeps the Danforth date book, reports that the chapel's popularity is not diminishing. She has made eight reservations for June.
Only once during the 74 marriages did things go awry at Danforth. In the excitement of the ceremonies no one in the wedding party remembered to extinguish the altar candles. Melting wax overflowed to the floor and ruined a rug.
Despite a heavy wedding traffic, there is time to fulfill the principal purpose of the little chapel, that of supplying a quiet place for meditation and a center for student religion and religious organizations use the chapel regularly for their worship and communion services.
Daily morning services are held by the YM-YWCA. At 5:30 p.m. the Inter-Varsity Christian fellowship holds its vesper services, music, fine arts senior, presents an hour of restful organ music.
On Sunday the Church of Latter Day Saints, having given up its own building for dormitory space, holds its regular services in the chapel. A student Christian Science organization meets there every Thursday.
Chapel Work Of 3 Men
William H. Danforth of St. Louis was the principal donor to the chapel. The electric organ was given by A. B. Weaver of Lawrence. Edward Tanner of Kansas City contributed his architectural services.
It is to these men, the students, faculty members, and townpeople who contributed, that the University owes thanks for Danforth chapel, the University's church-on-the-campus.
Trick of the Week

Mail subscription: $3 a semester, $4.50 a year. (In Lawrence add $1 a semester postage).

Cities Improve Labor Relations
Chicago. —(UP)— Governmental and civic groups in six major American cities have organized units to improve relations between labor and industry, reports to the International City Manager's Association show.
The association said 20 strikes have been averted in Toledo, Ohio, during the last seven months through the efforts of a municipal labor-management committee, and many additional cities are considering adoption of the Toledo plan to reduce industrial strife in their areas.
The Toledo committee, which recently celebrated its first birthday, has handled 43 labor disputes since last July. City officials report that the city has been strike-free since Oct. 17 and that the committee's mediation services have helped reduce the average time of strikes during the last year to two weeks.
Labor relations bureaus also have been created in New York, St. Louis and Louisville, and Kansas City is studying establishment of such a unit. In Boston, the Metropolitan Industrial Relations Council, which offers arbitration and conciliation services, is organized on the basis of volunteer membership. More than 100 industrial concerns and labor units are members.
Jurisdictional disputes are not brought before the committee, however, unless all parties agree to abide by the decision.
The Toledo committee, which serves as a "board of last resort" in particularly difficult disputes, consists of six representatives each of labor, management and the public. Cases handled range from mediation of a transit strike and warehouse and manufacturing disputes to averting a strike of city employees through recommendations for wage adjustments.
The policy-making nucleus of the Boston unit is an executive committee of six members elected by labor and six by industry plus one representative of the public.
