They are given courses which encourage initiative in vocational fields. They practice philosophic thinking and social graces which will help give depth to their character. They organize and carry out activities such as will be expected of them as community leaders after graduation. And yet women must be in at 10:30 p.m. Social habits may become traditional after their usefulness has been outmoved. In view of the higher age level and increased maturity of students now, closing hours would seem to be an institution which could bear close scrutiny for signs of deterioration in value. The argument always arises that "you cannot let 17-year-olds do as they please." Why not? Freshman men may stay out as late as they wish. Actually, it is doubtful that many parents would refuse to trust their daughters to keep a promise. If the University's attitude really is based on responsibility to parents, then some modification would seem apropos in cases where women are economically self-sufficient or of legal age, or where parental consent is given. In many cases housemothers would find it easier to depend on the person planning to be in last to lock the door than to stay up themselves until the prescribed time. In dormitories where a large number of women are to be considered, definite arrangements could be made by a responsible upperclassman for an agreeable closing time. Babies don't learn to feed themselves until they are given a spoon. In the careers which many women will enter immediately after college, there will be no rules to protect them from corruptive influence or their own indiscretion. Since self-reliance is not issued automatically with a diploma, why not give University women a chance to develop in this direction? They have proved themselves equal to other responsibilities.A.B. Student-Faculty Conference Will Be Held March 1 The student-faculty solidarity conference, which meets annually to iron out problems between students and faculty members, will be held March 14. The date was set in a joint meeting of Mortar Board and Sachem, senior honor societies. 'This Is Our Purpose Forums Board Writes Letter to Editor To the Daily Kansan: Although notice of specific programs will be published, Forums board would like to present a brief analysis of its purposes and program: We realize there are many organizations at the University that, in the interests of liberal education, claim a substantial part of the student's time. So, some of our coffees which attract only 15 participants will be considered successes, while another program should appeal to more than 500. While hoping that significant and provocative ideas are brought forward, we are well aware of and will attempt to meet the standards of good entertainment. A Russian general will be here Nov. 6; the first of a number of foreign movies probably will be presented Nov. 22—a Friday evening. The programs are relatively flexible; they are open to all; there is never any charge. Possibly many students will find them interesting. Truman Urges Freer World Trade For the Forums Board. Boston. (UP)—President Truman has asked American businessmen to work for free world trade among nations as a means of eliminating the insecurities and fears that foster war. In a message read at the opening of the 18th annual Boston conference on distribution, the president also urged that efforts be made to reduce prices for the benefit of all. He reminded the conference that return to peaceetime production placed the responsibility for maintaining a high level of consumption on the businessmen. Twente Tells History Of Sociology Club A brief history of their organization was given members of the Sociology club by Miss Esther Twente, associate professor of social work, at the club's meeting Thursday in the English room of the Union. At the conclusion of the talk, faculty guests were introduced and a long fest was held. The serving of refreshments completed the meeting. New York. (UP) — Two great American institutions of the small fry are gone and another is on the way out...penny candy is definitely dead, bubble gum won't be in adequate supply for another two years, nickel candy bars probably will be next to go. Harry Lustig, executive secretary of the association of manufacturers of confectionery and chocolate, said today that his industry definitely didn't enjoy taking candy away from the babies. "For the time being,penny candy will almost completely disappear and the industry may be forced to raise the five cent candy bar to six cents." It's Hard Taking Candy From Babes—But Bubble Gum, Sweets Are Disappearing He indicated such a change would hurt the manufacturers even more than the youngsters because five cents for a candy bar is "a historic price" and candymen hate to desert the tradition. "Sugar is our trouble," Lustig said. "We just can't get enough sugar." There's no hope for much bubble gum until 1948, said Carlton S. Drolsbaugh, secretary of the national association of chewing gum manufacturers. There's no profit in penny candy now, all the experts agree, but some manufacturers are still turning out small amounts as a matter of professional pride, or to keep their trademarks alive. "But the kids never see it, not for one penny," one source said. "Somewhere between the manufacturer and buyer, the stuff takes on an added value. The price is jacked up to two cents, or three for five cents, or maybe the retailer shoves several pieces into a bag and sells them for a dime." "My own four-year-old son is sore at me becucche he can't get the stuff," Drolsbaugh said, "but the industry at present just can't produce enough of it." Two things have taken the bounce from bubble gum production. The industry can't get enough sugar and it can't get jetulong, a rubbery substance from the Malayan peninsula which causes the gum to "bubble." Only two manufacturers in the entire United States (they did $1,500,000 worth of business a year before the war) have stuck by the Buddy GALLAGHER FINE SERVICE GREAT CARS MOTORS SQUARE DEAL Phone 1000 632-34 Mass.

Bandbox Beauty Shop Phone 430 A Russian general, Victor A. Yakhontoff, will speak at 8 p.m., Nov. 6, in Frank Strong auditorium, Larry Miller, president of the forums board, said Thursday. Gen. Yakhontoff returned to this country recently to resume his post on the Soviet delegation to further Soviet-American friendship. Several foreign movies will be shown with English captions in Fraser theater beginning Nov. 22. Lecture and discussion series at which faculty members will speak are being planned by the board. "Convocation speakers will be entertained at 'coffees' by the forums board," Miller added. At this time the speakers are open for questions. 112-Year-Old Tree Still Yields Cherries Madisonville, Ky. (UP) -Thomas H. Mitchell, farmer, boasts of the most remarkable cherry tree in the United States. The tree, said to be 112 years old, is believed to be growing on an old Indian burial mound. The tree is 50 feet high, has a limb spread of 34 feet from trunk to tip, and still bears a bountiful crop annually. In one year Mr. Mitchell gathered and sold 4,000 gallons of cherries.
