Board of Regents Expected to Approve Scenic Path, Carillon Tower as Projects For 'Monument' to 7,000 Jayhawk Soldiers
By MARY TURKINGTON
Daily Kansan Managing Editor
A carillon tower and a scenic drive around the campus may be the University's memorial to the 7,000 Jayhawkers who served in World War II.
The state board of regents, meeting in Topeka, is slated today to approve the memorial selected by a committee of faculty, members, students, and University alumni. It already has been approved by the Alumni association board of directors. The cost is estimated at $350.000.
The suggested route for the drive begins on the east, either on Oread avenue or Mississippi street, and runs a nearly level contour around the brow of the Hill. It goes through the upper edge of Marvin grove, through the pines northeast of Frank Strong hall and around the point north of that building.
The drive would flank the northwest brow of the hill above Potter lake and cross the present main University drive at the
flower bed near the Engineering buildings. Its southern route would be high enough to afford a view of the Kaw. Exact location of the proposed carillon tower has not vet been revealed.
The memorial committee headed by Justice Hugo T. Wedell, Kansas supreme court, was organized last February. Since that time, it has consisted of 17 different memorial projects. The project now proposed is a combination of two suggestions.
Edward W. Tanner, '16 first graduate of the School of Engineering and Architecture, presented the tentative plans for the memorial drive. Charles B. Holmes, former Alumni association president, suggested the tower with the carillons. The committee decided to combine the two projects.
Members of the War Memorial committee include the following University faculty members and students:
Chancellor Deane W. Malot, Dr.
F. C. Allen, Prof. Allen Crafton,
Fred Ellsworth, F. C. Quigley, Bob
Buechel, and Eugenia Hepworth.
Other committee members were Justice Wedell, Topeka; Albert Haas, J. C. Nichols, Carl V. Rice, Roy A. Roberts, and Charles B. Shaffer, all of Kansas City; Justin Hill, Charles B. Holmes, J. W. Murray, and C. C. Stewart, Lawrence; Mrs. Leo Haughey, board of regents member, Concordia; Mrs. Curtis McCoy, Emporia; John G. Somers, Newton; L. J. Bond, El Dorado; Don Alderson, Effingham; and Persis Snook. Wisha.
Just Like Mother's—Only More of 'Em
A Lawrence bakery set something of a speed record last night, when it produced more than 50 pies of a half dozen varieties in 60 minutes flat.
Long distance calls have been handled by the city exchange, since the strike began the K.U. operators said.
The nation-wide telephone strike so far has created little excitement in Lawrence. The K.U. operators are coming through with "number please" but when asked for a city line have to answer "sorry, city service has been suspended until 5 p.m."
The estimated forest area in Canada is 1,220,405 square miles.
The emergency arose when the bakery forgot to make pies for the University Women's club picnic for new staff members. Somebody discovered the oversight at 5:30 p.m. and telephoned the bakery.
At 6:30, the pies were delivered,
still plenty hot, but also just in time
to serve dessert-hungry people.
City Phone Service Suspended

Three New Terms Begin Nov.1
Making it possible for recently discharged veterans to enroll for work this semester, the University is beginning a 12-week semester for advanced engineering students and a 12-week term for intermediate engineers will also begin Nov. 1.
Three hour classes will meet four times a week in the 12 week term, with students allowed 12 hours maximum credit. Most courses offered are for first semester freshman, with some second semester courses included. The 12-week semester is open to other civilians who wish to enter the University.
"The University has attempted to meet the emergencies occasioned during the recent trying years," Chancellor Malot said. "Now it is attempting to answer the returning veterans' problem caused by the unexpected V-J day which came too near the regular September registration date for their enrollment." he added.
More than 300 veterans already have enrolled at the University, making about a 400 per cent increase over last year's enrollment.
K.U. Senate Approves Veterans Committee
A committee to handle special credit problems of veterans was approved yesterday afternoon by the University senate, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today.
This veteran's committee will be subject to immediate call for personal interviews with veterans whose credit problems cannot be handled through regular channels.
"The purpose of this new committee," the chancellor explained, "is to handle special problems concerning credit for military service and credit for technical and specialized training received in service which might apply toward a degree from the University. The committee will handle these problems immediately."
Tomorrow Is Deadline For Directory
Tomorrow noon is the deadline for submitting information for the 1945-46 student directory, warned Laurence C. Wodruff, registrar, today.
An editor for the directory will be chosen tonight. Applications for the job still may be left at the business office this afternoon.

After the stirring pep rally conducted Thursday morning in Hoch Auditorium, our boys would have

every position and will outweigh
While Iowa State has a letterman at almost
us 20-25 pounds in the line, Kansas will not concede I.S.C. a thing. We are going to play a grudging, fighting game from the start to the final whistle. The Kansas team that takes the field will not be out-gamed or outfought.
We're making every effort to upset the favored Cyclones. The game should be a close one, and with the right breaks, Kansas will win.
