Room Shortage To Be Faced At Graduation
"No room, no room!" That might be the reply which dozens of seniors will hear when they attempt to find rooms for their parents and relatives at Commencement time.
Hotel accommodations already have been refused to several students, who have attempted to make their reservations early. The explanation is that war workers are occupying all available space on a semi-permanent basis. The same is true of tourist homes and cabin camps in this immediate area. Because graduation day activities have been scheduled for early morning on the day after final examinations, parents and alumni can not be housed in the various dormitories and Greek houses.
To relieve this situatoin, senior committee members and faculty advisers are urging Lawrence students to offer rooms in their homes for their friends' parents when they arrive for the graduation exercises. The office of the adviser to women, working in conjunction with the Alumni association, is planning to keep in contact with the list of townspeople who usually co-operate by providing rooms during rush week. Faculty members probably will be asked to accommodate as many visitors as possible in their homes.
Even so the housing situation will be inadequate, according to present estimates, and seniors are being urged to ask their parents not to come until the day of commencement. It may be necessary to change the baccalaureate services to a later hour so that more out-of-town visitors can wait to make the trip on Sunday morning.
The food problem is nearly as bad. One of Lawrence's leading restaurants will close on June 1: the University cafeteria will not be able to serve a Sunday lunch because it is already scheduled to serve the senior breakfast and the alumni supper. The city's restaurants are already taxed to their capacity in meeting the regular Sunday crowds.
Alleviating this situation somewhat will be the supper, to be provided by the University in the Union ballroom Sunday evening for all seniors, alumni, parents, and other guests. The problem of Sunday noon accommodations remains, however. It has been suggested that the various houses should try to take care of the guests of the members in their own groups, if at all possible.
Although it is early to be thinking about these problems, it is well to know the situation which exists and make plans accordingly. The University will do all in its power to aid, but it is up to the seniors, their parents, and the alumni to make this task as easy as possible.-J.F.

Gullibles' Travels — Phi Psychology was used by Brunk and R. J. Atkinson to lure gullibles, Ritt, Cox, Jackson, and Evans down to the levee because Mr. X, president of the Chamber of Commerce, says he needs men to throw sand bags on the dike. "They're paying 65c an hour and serve coffee and doughnuts." The four sand bag packing papas dessert warmly in three shirts, two "T" shirts, heavy socks and boots. Then Brunk went next door to the Nu Sig house and phoned back in the guise of Mr. X. The eagler believes left immediately. For further details, see Brunk who is hiding in the browsing room of the library, and Atkinson who is just hiding.

"Tanker out of control on port bow," the lookout telephones to the officer on the bridge. Ever alert, this merchant seaman and his mates transport mountains of materials to every battle front. In spite of fog, storms and the enemy, they are delivering the tools of Victory.
Until the day of Victory comes, our job at Western Electric is to keep on producing vast quantities of communications and electronic equipment to aid every branch of our wartime services. In this work, many college graduates—both men and women—are serving their country well.
Buy all the War Bonds you can—and keep them!
