Slides of the proposed plans for the Union building will be shown Tuesday in the men's lounge of the Union. The All-Student Council and Dean Henry Werner have asked all students to come to the meeting to hear the plans discussed and to make suggestions and recommendations for improving them. SMALL, ELEANOR TROMPSON. IN Charge This Issue MARY BRANIGAN Your Chance This is your chance to put in your two cents' worth. If you have some ideas on game rooms, a snack bar, or dance floor, let them be heard. If you are acquainted with student unions on other campuses, you may be able to iron out some of the planning problems. Bowling alleys, ping pong and pool rooms, dining and dancing facilities, a larger cafeteria, a soda fountain on the main floor, and an air-conditioning system are part of the proposed plans. How much office space will be available for activity offices where the book exchange, possibly the new student book store, will be located, a larger music room, and a ballroom which may be used as an auditorium and formal dining room are issues to be decided. The present Memorial Union building, built in memory of the 130 students and alumni who gave their lives for their country in World War I, will extend 148 feet from the south side of the present building. We need a larger union building to accommodate the increasing student body. And just as important, we need plans for the enlarged building which will best answer student needs and requests. This is where you come in—at 7:30 Tuesday, men's lounge of the Union. Any Similarity . . . The United States and Great Britain are in a very similar position in China and Java. The Far East is afame with nationalism, and the motive of the two big powers in the use of their military force is being questioned Both are accused of open intervention in the old imperialist tradition. Britain and the United States had excellent reasons for their actions at the start. British forces were in Java only to disarm the Japanese, rescue war prisoners and protect Allied property. The United States gave almost identical reasons for its procedure in North China. It sounded simple enough, but internal complications arose in both countries. The big power troops now are involved in something too close to active warfare for comfort. Rock Chalk Talk By M. Sheldon and Keith Wilson A Siren for sirens. After having dinner at the Phi Psi house Tuesday evening, the Theta's decided to give their hosts a serenade. Just as they reached the second verse of "Theta Lips" they were drowned out by an air raid siren turned on by the music-loving Nu Sig neighbors. Housing shortage. According to the student directory, Connie Clohaugh, Chi Omega, lives at the Sigma Chi house. Any Gum, Chum?. The local grocery recently stocked up on bubble gum and an entire sorority pledge class rushed down to get a supply—mainly so they could read their fortunes on the wrapper. One wrapper stated, "You have no fear of wild animals because you understand their habits and behavior." She wouldn't say who she'd been dating. In the dark. Some of the recent intramural night football games (played by moonlight) have been rugged. The other evening after the ball was put into play, the players rushed around the field in a state of bewilderment, striking matches. Suddenly an excited yell was heard, "Here he is,"—a dull thud followed. A lantern was brought around and the tackled ball carrier was found to be an innocent frost spectator and his date. Kid stuff. Pi Phi's are starting a new intramural activity—bubble blowing. A young Man's fancy. A young college man seated himself in the library one afternoon and proceeded to peer through his glasses at Margie Darby with one eye while he laboriously perused "Comes the Revolution" with the other. After remaining seated for an hour, he crept silently to his feet and sped off toward the periodical room, leaving a note behind—it read, "You're the most beautiful girl in the whole University." Ah love! A Gentle Hint? An unknownTheta is sending a list of pamphlets from model agencies and success courses to Sig Alph, George Robb. George has been following directions but it hasn't helped. "I wasn't even put up for homecoming queen," he complains. New song hit. "She Lost Her Girdle," or "June is Busting Out All Over." All who are interested are invited to attend the second Western Civilization forum in Little Theater, Green hall, at 7:30 tonight.—William Vandiver, chairman. Wedemeyer's attitude is, of course, technically correct. American forces are in North China for the sole, avowed purpose of aiding the disarmament and disbanding of the Japanese. If they are attacked in the process, they must defend themselves. Unfortunately, the Communists regard American policy as out-and-out intervention and they are bitter. OFFICIAL BULLETIN University of Kansas Nov. 19, 1945 Russia's policy of non-intervention, if it can be called that, is much more subtle. Soviet Russia, like the United States recognizes and is committed to support the Chungking government. Yet Russia is giving no support to Chiang Kai-Shek. She is withdrawing her troops from Manchuria in literal compliance with treaty terms, but in so doing is permitting the Chinese communists to take over vast stores of Japanese arms, munitions and supplies. Gen. Wedemeyer's announcement implies that United States forces soon may be drawn into the shooting. That would be unfortunate, since it is not easy to isolate such an "incident" in a country torn by war. Obviously, Russia and the United States are following divergent policies in China. Just as obviously, unless the two governments get together and press for a peaceful There will be a meeting of the Dramatics Workshop organization at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Little Theater. All-Student Council will meet at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday in the men's lounge of the Union. Slides of study plans for the addition to the Union building will be shown. All University students are urged to attend. Mary Jo Cox, president. WANT ADS Russia and the United States are already directly involved.

Ph. 399. Any tendency to regard the trouble in China as a local affair which can be solved by the Chinese themselves without disturbing the world picture is a grave mistake. Interpreting Today's Important News: The other is resentment, so far entirely unofficial, in Chungking against Soviet Russia's course in Manchuria. One is the decision of the United States military commander, Lt. Gen. A. C. Wedemeyer, to take armed action against a communist-held village in Northeastern China, if necessary to prevent further attacks on United State marines. HUNSINGER MOTOR CO.

That was November, 1895. This year, 1945 is the 50th anniversary of that discovery and also the 100th anniversary of Roentgen's birth. Within the space of fifty years x-rays have come to benefit mankind through the part they play in science and medicine. Equally important, though less well known, is the part they have come to play as an inspection tool in industry. It was Dr. William D. Coolidge, working in the G-E Research Laboratory, who developed the high-vacuum tube—second only in importance to Roentgen's original discovery—which increased x-ray efficiency in medicine. And his sectional tube with its cascade principle has made possible high-voltage x-rays for industry. Using this sectional tube, the G-E two-million volt x-ray, developed by Dr. E. E. Charlton and W. F. Westendorp, makes it possible to see through twelve inches of steel. And it can radiograph an eight-inch steel casting 78 times as fast as the smaller giant of one million volts.
