Hamilton Names University Food Drive Chairman
Co-chairmen of committees for the University food conservation drive were appointed at a meeting of the University promoting committee for food conservation Friday. Billie Marie Hamilton, who was elected chairman of the promoting committee, made the appointments.
Buford Tribble and Margaret Eberhardt are to head the publicity committee. Jeanne Ackley and Richard Pister are projects committee chairmen, Dorothy Hoover and Lois Thompson are convocation chairmen, and Edward Thompson and George Caldwell are chairmen of the correspondence committee. Co-chairmen will choose their own assistants.
Leslie Waters, economics professor, told the group that if food conservation is to succeed in the United States, the majority of its citizens must cooperate. He suggested that if food conservation is emphasized at the University, students can persuade citizens of their home communities to conserve food.
The committees plan to visit each organized house.
Love and marriage will be discussed and questions answered at a series of forums beginning this week, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and the W.Y.C.A., Arthur Partridge, chairman announced today.

'Yucca-Yucca' Earns $800 for Memorial
"Yucca, Yucca" may have no literal definition, but its presentation in Hoch auditorium Friday night meant an $800 boost for the memorial drive fund.
A syncopated history lecture by Herriot, who also served as master of ceremonies, accompanied by the rhythmical clapping of his "class," and the Bali boogie song and dance team of Betrand Morris and Carl Clark brought the greatest response from the audience.
The all-student variety show, directed by Terry Herriott and sponsored by the memorial drive committee, featured songs, dance, and comedy by University students.
The "Four Tense Men" quartet, featuring William Richardson, and the piano boogie of Norma Kennedy also held the spotlight.
Roderick Maclvor, Hunter Billings, Dessie Hunter, Loraine Mai, Violet Orloff, Georgia Lee West-moreland, Frank Harlow, Robert Glover, Charles Banfield, and Mary Jane Zollinger.
The show which has been performed at Oskaloosa, was taken to Winter General Hospital in Topeka Sunday, and will be given in Wichita Friday.
Ben McKinley was stage manager, and Shirley Corlett was in charge of makeup.
Other members of the cast were the Serenaders under the direction of Charlie Steeper; Harriet Harlow, Harry McClure, James Sellars, Dean Patterson, James Barr, Todd Seymour, Martha Lou Little, Marilyn Maloney, Beverly Frizell.
Neqligent?
This is Rear Adm. E. W. Hanson, present commanding officer of the Pearl Harbor naval base, who is one of five admirals cited for "negligence" in the administration of the civilian housing area at Pearl Harbor.
Coal miners returned to the nation's soft coal fields today to relieve sorely-pressed utilities and industries, but the refusal of some miners in Pennsylvania to go back to the pits clouded the two-week strike truce.
Miners Still Strike In Pennsylvania
(By United Press)
More than half of Pennsylvania's 100,000 miners failed to return to work today, and coal production was less than 50 per cent capacity in the Pittsburgh district and less than 25 per cent in Altoona.
In general, others of the 400,000 striking United Mine Workers returned to the pits to begin the two-week moratorium called by their president. John L. Lewis.
Their return was too late to avoid the general closing of Ford plants where 110,000 eventually will be affected. Chrysler also laid off 10,000 workers because of a parts shortage.
Another 10,000 were laid off at the Briggs body plant, and Packard faced a possible shutdown if Briggs is unable to supply needed parts.
As temporary peace returned to the coal mines, violence broke out in another labor dispute at West Hartford, Conn., where pickets clashed with police at the strike-bound Pratt and Whitney division of Niles-Bement-Pond company.
The threat of a nationwide railroad strike May 18 still stood. With a temporary solution of the coal crisis effected, observers were awaiting some indication from President Truman on whether he would seize the railroads. The strike date was set by engineers and trainmen of major roads.

The atomic bomb test scheduled for this summer on Bikini atoll may be known officially as "Operations Crossroads" but to four former K. U. students it might well be called "Operation Homeweek."
Three graduates of the University and the son of a former chancellor are included among the civilian newspapermen and photographers accredited by Joint Task Force One to cover the Bikini atom bomb tests.
Jerome Beatty, representing American magazine, was graduated from the department of journalism in 1908. For many years he was publicity director of the Famous Players-Lasky corporation and later held the same position with the Universal company. A world traveler and a leading free lance writer, Beatty has written for many leading magazines.
Representing the Columbia Broadcasting System at the tests will be Bill Downs, the first U. S. Radio correspondent to reach Berlin after Allied forces moved in. Downs won the right to parachute into the city by drawing lots with other broadcasting company; representatives. Downs majored in journalism at K. U. and was managing editor of the Daily Kansan in the fall of 1936. After he was graduated in 1937, he worked with United Press and later joined C.B.S. in London.
Ernest K. Lindley. Washington correspondent of Newsweek magazine, will represent that magazine at the tests. He is the son of the late Chancelor Ernest K. Lindley.
Lindley was graduated from Idaho university. He attended the K. U. graduate school in the fall of 1920, then went to Oxford university as Rhodes scholar. He started his newspaper career on the Wichita Beacon and in 1924 joined the staff of the New York World. Later he joined the New York Herald Tribune, but left that paper to become Washington correspondent of News-week.
Bert Brandt, '39, who gained international fame as a war photographer, will represent Aenea Newspictures. Brandt hitch-hiked across the English channel to get the first invasion pictures of it to London and Brand majored in English minored in journalism at the University.
