STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Our Campus, From The Air, Shows Beauty and Vision
This unusual air view of the University campus, the first postwar airplane picture taken of Mt. Oread, captures the beauty and depth and vision that mark "The Hill". The picture was taken from a Buehler-Ware Flying Service plane, by Ralph Andrea, Daily Kansan staff photographer. Andrea used Super-pan film, and shot at f11 with an exposure of 1/345th of a second. He was using a Speed Graphic press camera, and had to lean far
out the side of the plane to catch this much territory. The proposed Memorial Drive around the campus, honoring the service of K.U. students in World War II, will start near the Memorial Union, and follow a path behind Frank Strong hall, allowing room for a campanile at the Rock Chalk cairn. Its exact route has not yet been determined, alumni officials have told the Daily Kansan.
No 'Superseniority' For Veterans
Washington. (UP)—The supreme court ruled today that re-employment guarantees of the selective service do not give veterans "superseniority" over non-veterans.
It decided that under the act a re-employed veteran is bound by provisions of collective bargaining agreements, and may be laid off while non-veterans with greater seniority retain their jobs.
Young Democrats Support Veteran Ticket
Topeka. (UP)—Young Democrats of Kansas today announced their support of a "draft ticket" comprised largely of veterans for next fall's elections. It lacked a designated candidate for governor.
Former Governor Harry W. Woodring, one-time secretary of war, spoke briefly to predict a Democratic victory and there was talk that he might be "drafted" to head the ticket.

Seniors May Still Pay Diploma Fees
Forgetful seniors who did not pay the $7.50 diploma fee by the deadline Saturday may still pay the fee without an increase in the regular amount, Karl Klooz, bursar, said today.
Records have not been compiled yet to show whether any members of the graduating class did forget to meet this deadline. Mr. Klooz said, however, that undoubtedly some of them neglected to pay the fee. If a senior should completely disregard the diploma iee, he cannot graduate, Mr. Klooz added.
Library May Open On Memorial Dav
"If we have enough student help Thursday, the library will remain open during the Memorial Day holiday," C. M. Baker, director. said today.
Attendance at the library showed a slight increase Sunday over the two previous Sundays. Peak attendance was 146 students at 4 p.m., 11 more than on May 19 and 59 more than May 12.
The library will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the period between semesters and will follow its usual policy of opening at 7:30 am. during the summer session, Mr. Baker said.
The fact that classes will begin earlier next year will have no effect upon the time the library opens, Mr. Baker said. There is a need for help for the summer session, he added.

Lewis Continues Washington Talks While Most Miners Resume Strike
K.U. Adds Buses To Sunflower Run
Three 20-passenger University operated buses, will soon be placed on the run between Sunflower Village and K.U. Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today.
Leased from the federal public housing authority, the buses were driven here over the weekend from Camp Chaffee, Ark., by a building and grounds department crew, headed by Elmer Husted, K.U. auto mechanic. The buses, which are converted army automotive repair vehicles, probably won't be placed in use until summer, pending installation of seats and general repairs, Mr Nichols said.
The three vehicles not only will supplement those now operated by the Santa Fe bus line, also will be used for special occasions.
Former Law Dean Is Critically Ill
Dr. W. L. Burdick, former dean of the School of Law, is critically ill in the Lawrence Memorial hospital. Physicians described his condition as "fair" at noon today.
Dr. Burdick came to the University in 1898. He became acting dean of the School of Law after the death of "Uncle Jimmy" Green in 1919, holding the position until 1922. He served as temporary chancellor of the University in 1925, was acting dean of the School of Law in 1934, and was elected dean in 1935. He resigned in 1937, at the age of 77.
There was no evidence that Lewis and Krug were any nearer agreement than they were last week on an interim union-government contract.
Washington. (UP)—In a grim mood, John L. Lewis today continued negotiations with the government while most of his soft coal miners defied President Truman's decree on strikes against the government and refused to work in the federally-controlled mines.
Lewis conferred again with J. A. Krug, coal administrator, as the government tried to solve the new industrial crisis resulting from resumption of the coal strike.
Lewis conferred with Mr. Truman for a half hour last night, at the president's call, but the conference broke up without a word from either side.
Despite the legislative threat hanging over their heads, most of the miners refused to work without a contract, even for the government.
The new shutdown threatened the nation with another industrial crisis before it was fully recovered from last week's railroad strike. Coal production during a two-week work truce provided no permanent relief to an industrial machine crippled by the recent six-week coal strike, which the White House then called a "national disaster."
Railroads probably will be among the first affected by the new stoppage in coal production. Their fuel supplies already were depleted by the earlier coal strike.
WEATHER
Kansas—Fair to partly cloudy today, somewhat warmer east, scattered thundershowers west late afternoon or night and slightly warmer extreme east tonight. Tuesday scattered showers or thunderstorms and not quite so warm central or west. Low tonight near 60.
