Student Interest May Influence K.U. Curriculum
Matters discussed at the student-faculty conference last Saturday included the question of student participation and interest in the shaping of curriculum. Chancellor Maltot made the statement that all curricular changes that are made are the results of faculty appraisal of student needs and desires—that they come indirectly as results of the wants of the student body.
wants of the student life This is true, but too few of us take an active interest in such affairs. We sit around and gripe about courses, teachers, and teaching methods, but we do not know how to take any direct action.
The reason for this lies partly in our half-knowledge of the reasons behind the curricular adjustments that are being made. Not many of us, we may probably safely conjecture, have taken the time to read a recent report by a faculty committee on new requirements in the College. We have heard the phrase "Western Civilization" thrown around recently, but we do not really know what the new course is
Constantly, we should ask ourselves what we want to get out of four years in the University. We should then determine whether our needs are being filled or not, and if not, what is necessary to fill them. The University wants to adjust its curriculum to fit our needs.
In the future, there may be some student representation on the faculty Committee on Curriculum. Until that time students should find out who are the members of that committee, and let them know what we want. First of all, however, we must begin to think about the problem.—N.W.

Want to Meet Mary Truman? Here's How
Tired of the local talent, men? Bob Meyer, Northwestern university student, has the solution—provided you can elude the F.B.I.
As Bob prepared to leave one weekend for Washington on business for his father, a friend kidded him, "Why don't you get a date with Mary Margaret Truman while you're there?"
So on Saturday afternoon Bob was standing before the big yellow brick Blair house. Inside is President Truman's office—outside are two secret service men.
"It's all right," Bob told them,
"I'm a friend of Mary Margaret's."
"I'll like to see Miss Mary Mar-
"I'd like to see Miss Mary Margaret," he announced to the butler. A voice from the library just off the hall said. "I'll see him, Jim."
The voice belonged to Mary Margaret's father. Attired in a gray, pin-stripe suit, he looked up from his deck, smiled and asked, "So you're a friend of Mary Margaret's?"
By this time Bob was properly speechless, but he managed a rather weak. "I wanted to see her."
"I'm sorry," her father said, "but she has gone to a weekend party in Virginia. I know she would like to meet you if she were here."
Bob walked out of the house and into the street. He was wondering what the federal laws said about ignoring the F.B.I. and gaining entrance to the President's office in search of an old friend he had never met.

All Eyes on the Navy—Spring has come, the grass is green, and V-12's have donned their whites! Drug store counters have been swamped for colored glasses. The glittering white is almost too much. Soap counters, too, have been stripped, as sailors prepare for "wash day."

**G-rr-rowl!—In Professor Hankins' English comp class the other day, "George" alias "Lassie" alias "The Dog" wandered in and took a seat in the back of the room. Right after Mr. Hankins handed out a batch of papers, a growl and bark shot through the room. "Is someone dissatisfied with his grade? I didn't know I graded that low!"

Ink Spots—Hypo needles have lots of uses, to hear the Nu Sig's tell it. Not long ago, some of them filled a hypo needle with blue ink, and injected it into an unsuspecting bowl!
Some of the plants they plan to visit are North American Aviation co., Pratt and Whitney, Aircraft industries, Wilcox Electrical Manufacturing co., Sheffield Steel, and Phillips Petroleum.
Did You Know? — Rumors have been circulating, as rumors will. Since the physics department is housed in Blake hall, Watkins hospital conveniently was placed nearby, where "ills are cured with pills." Along the same line, there are those new students who think that Bailey chem lab was so named because it was the formed hangout of Barnum 'n Bailey circus.
