Henry Werner, Our Englishman, Takes Coke, Not the Usual Tea
Can you imagine an Englishman
preferring cokes to tea? Henry
Werner, dean of student affairs, does.
Dean Werner, with lots of jolly English witt, is by profession a fisherman, he claims. But to be practice he says he teaches chemistry.
DEAN HENRY WERNER
Coming to the University in 1919, he taught in the chemistry department and 10 years later was appointed adviser of men. Climaxing the controversy last year over the college humor magazine, "The Sour Owl," his present office of Dean of Student Affairs was created. His duties are to advise and assist in all student activities as an administrative officer of the University. Werner Likes His Job
"I like the job," Dean Werner says, "it lets me in on all the fun!" This kingpin of student affairis came to America in 1914 from his home in Chester, England. He worked as a chemist in Philadelphia before he was introduced to Kansas via Kansas City, where again he worked as a chemist.
He took his university training at Frankfurt-on-the-Main in Germany and was continuing his education at Liverpool university in England when poor health forced him to leave school. "My wife and daughters have completed my education," Dean Werner explained.

Odds Against Jayhawks in Sooner Battle
A strong-winged and determined aggregation of 34 Jayhawkers heads south tonight to meet the booming Sooners of Oklahoma university in a Big Six football game at Norman tomorrow afternoon.
The youthful Jayhawkers are keyed high in anticipation of tangoing with the swabbuckling Sconners, 1944 Big Six title-winners. The Kansas lads are ignoring pre-game prognostications which picture Oklahoma rambling over the Jayhawkers at will.
A student pep rally "lead enough to be heard all the way to Oklahoma" will be staged at 5:45 p.m. today at the Santa Fe station where the team will board the 5:56 train for the Sooner city. The K.U. band and cheerleaders will be there to keep the cheering at a "college roar."
The jet-propelled Jayhawkers are planning a raid to take the Oklahoma eye off the 1945 conference championship.
Forty-Third Meeting
Saturday's game will be the 43rd edition of the Oklahoma-Kansas classic, 20 of which Oklahoma has won and 18 of which went to the Kansans. Four games were tied.
Despite inexperience and lack of weight, this year's Kansas crew is above the pushover caliber of recent squads. The Jayhawkers are chalked-up as being one of the finest freshman teams in the country. Five starters, Duke Burt, John Dickerson, George Gear, Dick Bertuzzi, and Frank Patttee, are baby Jayhawkers.
Handicapped by injuries received in the Washburn and Ft. Riley frays last weekend, the Kansans go into battle with a minimum of reserves. An eleven averaging only 180 pounds will be stacked against the Sooner weight of 202.
Dashing Dick Bertuzzi, freshman flashback, will captain Kansas during its invasion of Soonerland.
Dale Morrow, stocky halfback, sporting a bad ankle, will limp into
