Weather Is Still 'Up In the Air' As Finals Near
Listen, my children, and you shall hear, of a past June day that was bright and clear.
That day some persons can vaguely remember but it has been only during the past few days that University students have been dazzled by the brightness of that red ball in the sky that their grandfathers called the sun.
Although the rain hasn't stopped falling, the weather has warmed up to the degree that students mop their brow and say, "Whew," just for the sake of tradition, remembering other Kansas James.
As final examinations approach, students have a few moments of weakness in which they admit this kind of weather has one advantage. Now, they can stay up all hours of the night, studying in "comfort".
Disregarding the apparent prediction that "it has to stop soon," the question has become, "Will it be like this during the summer vacation?" The answer, given by a reliable authority, is "wait and see."
Corbin, Miller, Jolliffe Open This Summer For Women Students
Corbin, Miller and Jollie halls, women's dormitories, will be open to accommodate students attending summer school, Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, dean of women, said today.
These halls have practically been filled. Miss Meuclar said.
"We have taken care of everyone who has applied," Miss Meguiar added, "and if necessary, we will open another hall."
Canton, Shanghai Bomber
More than 100 additional tons of bombs fell on Saigon where railroad installations and warehouses were set ablaze.
An armament plant at Canton was set afire, while Shanghai's Woosung docks also were blasted from the air.
MacArthur revealed further, that Australian invasion troops in British North Borneo captured the Brunei—after a fifteen mile overland drive from Brookton. At the same time, other Aussies pushed to within one half mile of Timbalai airdrome. MacArthur's Advance.
In the Philippines, MacArthur's men advanced another three miles through the Cagayan valley of Luzon. Two towns southeast of Baugic also were taken, while minor mopping-up operations progressed on Mindanao.
University Receives Certificate of Honor
"It it si a source of great satisfaction to see the participation for relief of the distress of our unfortunate fellow-students in the war-stricken lands." Dupre said.
Recognition of the participation of the students and faculty of the University by contribution to the World Student Service Fund, was made by Huntley Dupre, executive secretary, in a recent letter to Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
A certificate of honor was awarded to the University as one of the few schools whose per capita giving was particularly high and sacrificial, and whose total contribution was commendably large.
The first drive of the World Student Service Fund committee was inaugurated on the campus in January, 1944. Books were collected to be sent to students all over the world and to the allied prisoners of war.
Various phases of the Orient will be discussed in a series of University lectures arranged as a part of the summer session activities, Prof J. W. Ashton said today.
Orient Lecture Series Will Begin July 11
All the lectures will be presented at 7:30 p. m., on Wednesday in the Little Theater of Green hall. They are similar to the lectures on Russia presented at the summer session last year.
The first lecture July 11, will be presented by the Rev. H. G. Barr, instructor in the School of Religion, on "Oriental Religion."
Porf. E. S. Miller, Stephens college, will speak on 'Education in Japan' on July 18. Karl Matterm, professor of drawing and painting,
