Flag Designed For Today
Have you ever wondered what campus "Betsy Ross" designed the University of Kansas flag on the north tower of Fraser hall opposite the Stars and Strikes?
The blue and red emblem was born in the latter months of 1939. Eleanor Grider, then a freshman in the School of Fine Arts, submitted a design for a new flag to the art department, with 250 other entries made by students in the department of design
On November 23, 1939, the results of the contest were announced, and Miss Grider's flag was chosen to fly from the top of the oldest building on the present campus, Fraser hall. Her design was a blue field trimmed in red, with K.U. in red letters trimmed in white and placed in the center.
A picture of the flag waving from the highest peak of Mt. Oread appeared in the Graduate Magazine for February, 1940.
In the December 6, 1939, issue of the Daily Kansan appeared the following statement:
"The new flag was raised to a pole atop the north tower of Fraser hall this morning for the first time."
Sgt. Ralph E. Coldren, Leavenworth, has been awarded the Air Medal for his sustained operational flight over enemy territory, according to a dispatch from the 15th army air force in Italy.
The 23-year-old bombardier attended the University where he majored in journalism before enlisting in the air force in 1943. He served as managing editor of the Daily Kansan.
Miss Grider, who was a junior in the School of Fine Arts in 1942, is now married to Lt. Willard A. Burton, Jr., also a former student. She is the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. R. L. Grider.

As the flame is to the moth, so is the University of Kansas to men and women from every corner of the United States—from New York to California, from Washington to Florida, from New Jersey to Arizona.
Besides having students enrolled at K. U. from every part of Kansas, any list of enrollees shows a high percentage of out-of-state attendance by members who must have a special reason for coming from states halfway across the country to go to college on Mt. Oread.
University Attracts Students From All Corners of the U. S. To Study at Parent's Alma Mater
When several of these adopted Jayhawkers were asked what made them decide to come to the University of Kansas, they gave a variety of answers. The principal deciding factor seemed to be "like father, like son," for the majority of students interviewed had fathers, mothers, or brothers who had either been graduated from K. U., or had attended school here previously.
Mary Alford, College sophomore from Sioux City, Iowa, said, "My family was originally from Kansas and my father went to school here, so I decided to go to K. U., too."
Betty Bacon, College sophomore from Lakewood, Ohio, gave the same reason, "Both of my parents were students here, and I came to K. U. because I liked the University better than I did the schools in Ohio."
Some Return to Native State
Jane Sweeney, sophomore in the School of Fine Arts, who is from Crawford, N. J., replied, "My father received both his bachelor's and master's degrees from K. U., and my brother was a student here, so all I ever heard about college centered around the University of Kansas—and I decided I wanted to attend school here also."
K. U. Is Parent's Alma Mater
Barbara Gibson, College freshman is from Oak Park, Ill., and she said, "Both my. parents went to school at K. U., so I am, too."
Beverly Waters, junior in the College, Dearborn, Mich., lived in North Dakota when she first started to K. U., but she came because, "I used to live in Kansas City so I knew the campus and liked the school better than any other university."
Marylouise Rowsey, College senior from Omaha, Nebr., answered, "I came to K. U. because the department of journalism was highly recommended. The school is just the
right size for practical experience on student publications, and all around work."
Follows in Father's Footsteps
Betty Jo McAninch, College junior from Mount Ayr, Iowa; and Barbara Barcroft, a College junior from Seattle, Wash., are both former Kansans who returned from other states to attend the University of Kansas.
Peggy Sue Biggs, junior in the College, is from Ponca, Okla., and she said, "My father attended the University of Kansas, and since we used to live in Kansas City, I wanted to come to school here."
Mary Louise Samson, College sophomore, Roswell, N. M., explained, "My brother went to school here and I liked it so well that I came to K. U., too."
Opinion shows that out-of-staters appreciate the advantages of the University of Kansas as much as the native Rock Chalkers do.
Sister Kenney, Nurse Demands Investigation
Minneapolis, (INS) — Sister Elizabeth Kenney, famed Australian nurse, today demanded an investigation as the only condition to which she will remain in this country. The nurse refers to a long-standing argument between various members of the medical profession as to the treatment of spastic paralysis, including poliomyelitis and other diseases.

Miss Scott Visits at Marysville Miss Grace Scott, a member of the Watkins Memorial hospital staff, has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Sam Scott and their daughter, Barbara Jane, at Marysville, Kan.
