All University Will Benefit By Foundation
All members of the University faculty have received letters from the faculty committee of the William Allen White Foundation in which they were invited to contribute to the $200,000 fund. The faculty goal has been set at $3,000. Appropriations from the fund will be used only for furthering the means of giving students and faculty members a better understanding of the world today and their part in its affairs.
By contributing to the fund of the Foundation, faculty members will give material aid to scholarship, lectureships, regional conferences, and publications—all services which will be available to the entire University. Mr. White was internationally known because he fought for tolerance and against bigotry—he sought always to spread knowledge. Members of the Foundation committee believes, therefore, that the best way to commemorate Mr. White is to establish a fund which would be the means of carrying on his great work—in truth a living memorial to ideals that will never die.
Actually the William Allen White Foundation is dedicated to the service of the entire state and of the University, its faculty and students, not merely to those connected with the new William Allen White School of Journalism. The foundation is not a part of the school—its headquarters, for convenience and appropriateness, are to be established in the School of Journalism—a memorial to a great Kansas editor, beloved by the world—a former student of the University.
Leaders of the foundation movement believed that the School of Journalism commemorating the Kansas editor would be an appropriate headquarters for the memorial, and, realizing the potentialities of the Foundation, University officials and the board of regents, approved of its establishment. They believed that by contracting lecturers and educators of wide renown, the University would grow as a great center of learning. Members of every department would benefit because they would become better acquainted with representatives of the whole field of modern thought.
Faculty members will have reason to be proud of their contributions that will mean so much to the University, for not only will they receive many of the benefits of the Foundation, but they will be helping to carry on the work of William Allen White and all that he stood for in American life.

Professor Mahieu will teach courses in French literature, while Professors Osma and Barret will give courses in Spanish literature of the Golden Age.
DON'T STOP--wander into every meeting on the hill—Oh! How they do get around. Wednesday, Bill Chestnut attended the YWCA clothing drive meeting. Of course, he was a little out-numbered by the opposite sex, but what male isn't these days. Maybe it was just the case of the president having to find new clothes for his brother Phi Psil's. You know, cords and ski sweaters do wear out with time.
(continued from page one) a Review included in a letter will reach the man or woman in service in a few days.
“If students could only realize the eagerness of the former KU, students and graduates for campus news, they would mail them widely and regularly.” Miss Tippin, the editor said after having received urgent appeals for more Kansan Reviews. “One potential University student even sent a cartoon he had drawn of a doughboy in a trench reading the Kansan Review.
Copies may be obtained at once at the Kansan business office. Representatives of houses may obtain copies for their organizations at the time they call for the University Daily a Kansan.

(continued from page one) Union building for an indoor picnic and dance.
The 1945 version of D-Day will differ only in length from similar pre-war battles against the yellow plant pest. Digging will begin at 4:30 and continue to 6:30, when students, faculty, and V-12's will gather in Fowler grove for an all-school picnic.
Don Cousins and his Navy band will play for a street dance in front of Bailey chemistry laboratory climaxing the day's festivities.

Rock Chalk Talk
By ANNE
SCOTT
Harem-scarem —Chick Kouns is having his troubles with his harem in the Kansan advertising department. One of the many things which add to his troubles are the voices of Pebble Beach, Cathy Piller, Pat Glover, not to mention business manager, Nancy Tomlinson, babbling over the phone when he calls to make a date with Marge, his Chi Ogal. It is even a feat for this super ad salesman to talk himself out of those predicaments.
***
KAT's and dog—The Theta's are having quite a time with their new addition—a doggie named Smudge. She has four white socks, a white tip on her tail and a very dirty face. Saddy Phipps and Marge Snyder are responsible for this outcast of dogdog, but the KAT's love her just the same—even though she does drink their cokes, smoke their cigarettes, and eat their pins. They are thinking seriously of naming her Smudge Pot.

Brain work—The other night sitting on the gym steps, the Dee Gee's noticed the number of chimneys (about the only things that do smoke these days) on the chemistry building. After much deliberation, they found the number to be 22. Carol Stuart and Bobbie Field were stumped as to why there should be so many chimneys on one building until "Abe" Lincoln came up with the bright remark that one was erected every time a chemistry student received a degree. After completing a chem course, one usually gets a monument—only it's made of granite and inscribed with the life history.
