Versatile Elaine Thalman Majors In Music, Politics, Jayhawker
Elaine Thalman, College junior, is a music major whose hobby, by her own admission, is also music.
Just "on the side," during her first three years on the Hill, she has found time to work in the Independent organization, as an editorial associate of the Jayhowker magazine, and as a member of the personnel board of the Y.W.C.A.; and has maintained a better than B grade average.
Recently she has been doing research for the student government division of the student-faculty conference, sponsored by Mortar Board and Sachem.
Elaine was one of a small group of women who last spring made the first steps toward forming the Independents organization. She had been active in campus politics earlier, and carried her experience over into the formation of a new political party. At present she heads the women's activities division of the Independents.
Elaine sings in the A Cappella choir and serves as its treasurer, and plays the piano in her spare time. She admits her secret ambition is to fly, but doesn't plan to start learning just yet.
A native Missourian, but a confirmed Jayhawker, Elaine is from Kansas City; was attracted to KU by the music department. Her music major "in the College, not Fine Arts," is in preparation for a career in musical therapy. She is minoring in psychology.
In Lawrence, Elaine lists home as 1701 Ohio street. As a "veteran" Jayhawker, who has seen the change from a war to a peace-time campus, Elaine believes "K.U. is getting along pretty well, but I do think we should encourage students to take a greater interest in activities."
Ball Asks Compulsory Military Training
Syracuse, N.Y. (UP) — The U. S. must adopt, compulsory peacetime military training or face the alternative of "another period of disgrace" appeasement of aggressors such as marked the 1930s." Sen. Joseph H. Ball, R., Minn. declared in an address.
Ball spoke yesterday at Syracuse university where he received an honorary doctor of laws degree.
Compulsory military training will "see to it that America remains strong enough so that her voice in international affairs will be respected," the Minnesota Republican said.
Ball also advocated passage of the $3,750,000,000 loan to Great Britain. He termed the proposed loan "essentially a device to share with ourally, on a credit and not a gift basis, the raw materials and other resources needed for England's reconstruction."
Benjamin Franklin was a printer, journalist, scientist, inventor, philosopher, statesman, diplomat, and author.

'No Mills Shutdown,' K-State Prof Says
Manhattan (UP)-George Montgomery, Kansas State college agricultural economist, said today he expected no wholesale shutdown of Kansas mills, despite a desperate shortage of wheat throughout the state.
He said that waile the millers only prospect for domestic wheat supplies seemed to be what they had on hand and what they could buy in terminal markets, he believed mills would be allowed to grind accumulated government wheat for export.
Montgomery said that the over-all mill and elevator wheat supply is estimated now at 93,000,000 bushels. He compared the present supply with an estimated 209,000,000 bushels held by mills and elevators at the same time last year. At this time in 1944, Montgomery said there were 201,000,000 bushels of wheat in mills and elevators and in 1943 there were 362,000,000 bushels.
He estimated that supplies in public warehouses at present totaled about 34,000,000 compared with 99,-000,000 in 1945, 124,000,000 in 1944, and 212,000,000 in 1943.
Montgomery said the flour supply for approximately the next two months, until the 1946 crop was harvested, depended primarily on the amount of wheat on hand. He said his impression was that few mills had closed as yet and he believed relatively few would close.
He said Millers, after May 1, would have only a 21-day wheat supply on hand on the basis of grindings a year ago.
There may be temporary stoppages, he said, and some closings, "but I don't believe there'll be any wholesale shutdown."

Spectographs To Record Atom Tests Over Bikini
Oklahoma City. (UP)—The big atomic cloud which will blossom over Bikini atoll in July will have its picture taken by two air-borne spectographs installed in four-motored C-54 transport planes at Tinker air field here, it has been announced.
Dr. F. M. Frye, spectroscopist of Boston university on special duty with the "operations crossroads" army unit, said the, planes were the only flying laboratories of their kind ever developed. They will enable scientists to study the spectrum of the explosions of the atomic bombs, thus computing accurately the amount of heat energy generated in the blasts.
The light and heat measuring devices, he said, should provide data for further development of atomic power.
The laboratory planes will be tested at Rosweil, N.M., within a few days before being flown to a base near Bikini.
