"To the Stars Through Difficulty"--- Hill Spirit Must Increase Next Year
What will our University be like next year? Stop a minute and think it over. Will students, enlivened by the proximity of peace, renew school spirit? Or will they retain an apathetic attitude toward the University?
We hope the spirit will revive. We hope that the lack of interest in the peace conference scheduled for this fall is not representative of all school spirit next year.
We like to remember the little things we used to know—little things which were as vital to University life as the textbooks we read. College when it was “collegeate.” Hobo day, when students and teachers vied for the best “old-rag” honors. Nightshirt parades, and Massachusetts street flooded with the energy and gaiety of youth. Torchlight parades before every home game, with mobs of yelling, milling students keyed to a high point of enthuissasm—mobs which coughed and gagged from the well-sulphured torches, but chalked it all up to the fun side of life.
We need that life. We can have it all once more if we begin now to work for it. A traditions convocation, for example, to be held within the first weeks of next fall, could be a major stimulus for increased Jayhawker spirit. At such a meeting, the entire student body learns the yells, the songs, and the traditions of our alma mater. We must have such group participation next fall.
With the war entering its last phases, K. U. residents can no longer blame their disinterest on the effects of the current world situation. But will students enter more heartily into activities and extra-curricular functions? The University will return to a normal schedule next year. Will new spirit accompany the "return to normality?"
We have been through our difficulties, but must keep our spirit.

Despite the war-time atmosphere of the campus, the past school year will linger always in the hearts and minds of the K.U. student. True, it wasn't "the good old days," but in the measure of little things, which the typical Jayhawk realizes are are what really count, 1944-45 has been far from uneventful.

Contributors to the exhibit are Mary Margaret Gaynor, Mary Ann Gray, Dixie Gilliland, Hanna Hedrick, Mary Nettels, Mary Turkington, and Loren King.
Milton Caniff, well-known cartoonist, judged the photos of 20 candidates for University of Chicago "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi."
B-29%s OPEN----
(continued from page one)
Anti-aircraft opposition to the raiders ranged from none at all in some sectors to heavy in others. Only in instances were Jap interceptors said to have come up to meet the B-29s.
Only a few days ago, Lemay, said that Tokyo, Yokahama, Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe were gone as superfortress prime targets, adding; "We can begin the same job on the smaller cities."
80. 000 Dead on Okinawa
Some 325 miles southwest of Kyushu meantime, the Japs appeared to have submitted their last available forces for the fanatical defense of Okinawa's Yaeju-Dake escarpment line. Having already lost more than 80,000 troops slain, including Admiral Minau Ota, whose body was found in a cave, the Nips were thought to have no more than 5,000 effects left.
These Japs fought frantically, and even the hellish fire of United States incendiary bombs could not burn out the stubborn defenders.
