Washington. (UP)—Want a date—the historical kind?
Want a Date?
Texas Democrat
Can Fix You Up
You might try asking Rep. Wright Patman, Democrat, Texas. Twenty-five years ago he decided a good memory wouldn't do him any harm, so he took a correspondence school memory course. Now he's got a reputation for remembering facts and figures.
Among other things, he's memorized the calendar so thoroughly he can listen to any date as far back as 1752 and tell you what day of the week it was.
Patman said he first discovered how helpful it was to have a memory "like an elephant" when he was a young lawyer in Texas. He was trying a case involving the date of approval for a deed. The opposition, he added, "stated the day the deed was approved during the course of the trial."
Patman said his memory course has also proved helpful on the house floor. For instance during debate, he said, "I can memorize 12 points, use them in a speech and rattle them off just like that."
"I knew the minute the opposing counsel named the date it was supposed to be approved that that date was a Sunday," Patman declared. "However, I let them go ahead with the case. The business of approving deeds is not conducted on Sundays.
Pan-Americanism is the theme of the costume dance being given by the University Art club from 9 p.m. to 12 midnight tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Union Bernard Wardlow, chairman of the planning committee, said today.
"Needless to say," he continued. "I won the case on that seemingly insignificant statement."
University Art Club Plans
Costume Dance Friday
Music will be furnished by Frank Stalzer's band and a floor show will be presented at intermission. Decorations will carry out the Pan-American idea. Costumes are optional for guests, but Art club members will be in costume.
Vets' Leave Time Explained By Elbel
An interpretation of the amount of leave time allowed veterans while in training under public laws 346 or 16 has been received by the office of veterans training service.
E. R. Elbel, director of veterans training service said that under the latest interpretation, the veteran accumulates two and one-half days per month leave while in school and can receive payment for this, however it will be deducted from his total entitlement.
Veterans having a large entitlement for training may desire to take advantage of his leave time, Mr. Elbel said, since he can afford to lose the time from his training allotment when he is not in school. only enough time to see him through school should probably stop paymen when he is not in school.
The veteran who is not going to summer school should have his training interrupted through the veterans office and have it resumed when he returns in the fall, Mr. Elbel advised. The veteran who is going to summer school should not have his training interrupted until the end of the summer session.
Lindley Hall To Get New Lawn, Sidewalk
Lindley hall will soon have a new front lawn, C. G. Bayles, superintendent of building and grounds, said today.

Crafton To Continue Y.W.C.A. Leadership Discussion Tonight
To do two or three things well, is better than to do many things inefficiently, Mary Morrill, a member of Mortar Board, told members of the Y.W.C.A. leadership training course in the Union Wednesday night.
Eugenia Hepworth, also a member of Mortar Board, and Miss Morrill led an informal discussion on campus leadership at the third meeting of the group this week.
Mrs. Jessica Crafton will continue the series of meetings at 7:30 tonight, in the East room of the Union. She will discuss leadership.
Miss Hepworth pointed out that one doesn't need to be a leader at first, but a good follower, and that if one does the little jobs well, then she can be discovered for more important jobs.
Miss Morrill emphasized using discrimination in joining activities here at college. "Don't join everything" she warned, adding, "it is better to be an active member of an organization.
Miss Morrill and Miss Hepworth agreed that everyone needs some initiative and foresight to lead others, even though one can learn the qualities of a good leader.
