Our Chance to Give
Students next week will be given the chance to have a part in the World War II memorial drive and campanile. The campus quota, $10,000, is a comparatively small part of the $500,000 project, and should be filled early in the week.
After World War I, when the student body was smaller and money was less plentiful, students were asked to pledge $160,000 for the million-dollar memorial which included the Memorial stadium, the Union, and the Uncle Jimmy Green statue.
In the campaign which ensued, class was pitted against class, organized house against organized house, and individual against individual until a student felt he had to give or lose face.
This time, students are not being coerced into pledging. They are merely being given an opportunity which they want, or should want anyway.
The campus campaign is the result of the work of members of the student memorial committee. Made up of students who are interested in the project, this committee set the quota, and has met and planned on its own initiative, without the directions or presence of faculty members.
Those students who still are not convinced that the drive and campanile are a fitting memorial should be fair enough to read carefully the booklet which was mailed to them today, by the memorial association.
"What will the memorial do? Who chose it? What other projects were considered? What building projects are already planned for the University? How about the backs of the buildings on the driveway?"
The answers are all in the booklet. To read them with an open mind is to be convinced. And to be convinced, is to give—M.T.
Motion Picture Course is Free But It Has Tests and Lectures
"Two, please," said Joe College of 1930 as he slipped a dime through the ticket window of a local theater and smiled at his date.
The price of a seat at a movie was five cents—1930, that is. Today, how-ever, the Joe's at K.U. hand the cashier a dollar for two tickets and pick up the change—if there is any. $ \textcircled{2} $
Or else, you can enroll in the motion picture class at the University, see Sarah Bernhardt, Lloyd George, or Al Jolsen, and get two hours credit, all at the same time.
You'll spend one of the two hours listening to Prof. Allen Crafton lecture on the development of the movie. But the next time you go to class, in the Little Theater, you'll either pick a seat on the front row to get a good view of the movie or settle down in some dark corner where you can take your afternoon siesta without being bothered by the white glare of the screen. But don't ever sleep through "Birth of a Nation."
"This is the most important picture ever made," Professor Crafton declared. "When the movie was first shown, the crowds stood up and cheered after the first act. We knew the second act couldn't be any better. But then after the second act, we stood up again and cheered louder. It was even better than the first. And then, would you believe it? The third act was better even than the second!"
This picture, which marked the beginning of a new era in the motion picture industry, is looked on in Hollywood as the Bible. For 18 years it ran in Russia, making a 20-million-dollar profit.
"The techniques and crafts which David Griffith used to produce this wonderful silent film." Professor Crafton said, in an admiring tone, "are still being employed today on modern movie sets."
While local theaters continue to display the musicals, love stories, and mystery thrillers which lure movie-goers, Mr. Crafton's keen foresight hints of a change in trend of pictures. "I believe that we're getting away from the story type of film," he stated. "Movies can go a long way to influence the public, and I'm sure that soon newsreels, "March of Time" and such documentary films will be favorites of millions.
No doubt about it! There are fashions in movies, just as there are in women's clothes. The very first movie, a flash of miniature pictures with a scratchy gramaphone recording, is a far cry from today's gorgeous technicolor films and smooth reproductions of Frank Sinatra's voice or Greer Gearer's acting.
Faculty Members Start Atomic Energy Series
Dr. David Hume, assistant professor of chemistry, made a plea for the relaxation of security on non-military information about atomic energy so that peacetime research could continue, at a meeting in Kansas City Monday. Dr. Hume worked on the original bomb project.
The meeting was the first of a series sponsored by the University and designed experimentally to give the public facts about the atomic bomb.
Other faculty members who spoke in the day and night sessions were Dr. J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering; Richard S. Roberts, associate professor of economics; E. O. Stene, associate professor of political science; and Hilden Gibson, associate professor of political science and sociology.
Other meetings will be held in Topeka, Salina, Hays, Dodge City, Wichita, Chanute, and Pittsburg.

Veterans who filed certificates of eligibility and entitlement at the office of the K.U. Veterans Training Service and do not receive subsistence allowance checks by April 5 are requested to report to room 2, Frank Strong, immediately after that date.
Saves little girls from . . . Credit for "protecting" Hobnail Hop queen, Barbara Neely from the clutches of law students Saturday afternoon goes to engineer, Pat Maloney, Phi Delt. Getting wind of the foul play afoot, Pat dashed over to the Kappa house after lunch and hustled Barbara downtown where he hid her away in a dark corner of a theater through a performance and a half of the horror double header.
April 3,1946
Having been informed the day before that she was to be queen, Barbara tried to resign herself to the situation and enjoy Dracula.
But it wasn't easy. There were times in both shows, Pat reports, when even he would have preferred the laws.
Phi Chi Theta will meet at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in council room at Miller hall.
If at first you don't. While strolling through the course one day (Sunday), what should take Sterling Hess, Phi Delt of '43, by surprise but a former pledge brother frantically waving a pair of golf clubs over his head. Harry (Hamfat) McClure, the guilty party, looked a little strange going through all those anties while George Byers stiffed guffaws in the background, so Sterling set about to investigate.
The International Relations club will meet 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Pine room of the Union.

In a fit of temper, or something,
Harry, he found, had thrown a golf
club into the air, and it had landed
in a tree.
April Fool! How would you feel if you awoke all bright and cheery on the first day of April, leaped out of your bed (?) on the sleeping porch, tripped spring-like to your room, and found it completely chaotic? Closets bare of clothes and clothes draped around the room, lip-stick smeared on mirrors? Well, that's how Regina McGeorge, Mary Daugherty, Jane Farrell, Pat Barron, Jo Larson, and all the other Chi Omega pledges felt on awakening last Monday.
Said Regina. "We just can't imagine who did it"
We make a wild stab in the dark and guess it just might have been the well-meaning Chi O actives. True? True!
Five minutes of silent . . . Prayer,
that is. Let's all bow our heads and
think of Gismo, the SAE mascot,
who was run over on Mississippi
street Saturday. Gismo is back on his
feet now, still dashing under automobiles no doubt, but he certainly placed his master Bob Rosenfield,
and friends Leon Thomas and Frank Haas in an embarrassing position when they dashed over to take the wounded puppy to the vet. Guess the fellas take sunbaths too, girls.
Or are shorts just the style this season?
I'd love to. He cried, Tony Veatch, DU, and Jack Ballard, SAE, were both a trifle taken back when they were called Monday night and invited to a mysterious buffet supper by an even more mysterious "Suzie Jackson." Both boys accepted readily, however, and we're wondering when the rude awakening will come. Could have been another April fool trick, but then who knows . . . and who is Suzie?
Petry corner. During Tuesday's very fine convocation, more than one of our number was inspired. However, a certain football star outdid himself, and during the ceremony composed a poem. Aforesaid anonymous character prides himself on the fact that the only "D" he ever made in college was in English comp. Understandable?
Our chapel is a place of rest
Where we will go to do our best
To find out what, and why, we are,
And why we wandered over thar.
Our Chapel
The author of the above has also written other masterpieces, his best being something about Mary and Lamb. For further reference call Phi Kappa Psi and ask for "Wayno."
Thrifty soul. Bob Kunkle, chairman of the Hobnail Hop, estimates that his long-haired classmates from Green hall must have lost $100 for taxis, bus, food, dancing, and pictures while entertaining queen candidates. "Uncle Jimmy Green can be made to look like a new man for only 50 cents worth of paint," he pointed out.
