Forum Coffees Reveal Interest And Hospitality
As part of a new "tradition" at the University, the fourth of a series of coffees was held this week in honor of a guest speaker of the University. These coffees, the first of which was held early last fall, have proved to be more successful than at first was anticipated, according to their student chairmen.
The guest of honor often has welcomed the opportunity to speak to the informal groups and has given an off-the-record report more interesting and to the point than the speech which was prepared for the formal assembly. In most cases, the guest speakers have been very willing to answer questions concerning interesting personal experiences and professional duties.
To insure the guest an appreciative audience, members of the Forum committee extend invitations only to those students who are recommended by their professors as being especially interested in the field in which the guest lecturer has become noted. Faculty members teaching courses related to the speaker's field also are invited. Expenses are met, to a large degree, with funds allocated to the Forum committee from the profits of the Union carnival which was held last fall.
Members of the Student Union Activities board originated the project last September, and the Forum committee was appointed to develop the plans. Through these informal entertainments, it was hoped that outstanding guests of the University would be made to feel more welcome on the campus and among the student body. It also was believed that the coffees would provide an opportunity for underclassmen to meet and converse with some of the outstanding men and women of America.
The Union Activities board and the Forum club are to be complimented for making the coffees possible. Not only will they serve as symbols of the University's hospitality toward visiting speakers and artists, but the coffees also will give attending students excellent opportunities to discuss important issues of the day with experts in all fields of knowledge. All this will do much toward creating a favorable impression of Kansas University in the minds of the visiting artists and lecturers. Their comments, as they travel to other sections of the country, constitute a major factor in building the reputation of the University.

Kansas Bill Hikes Post-War Gas Tax
A postwar highway bill, center of a bitter debate in the Kansas legislature, passed the house of representatives yesterday with a margin of only three votes.
The bill was previously passed by the senate, achieving a bare constitutional majority of 21 there. It will now be sent to Gov. Andrew Schoepp, who supported it with his full weight.
The measure provides for a postwar tax of one cent a gallon to be added to the state's three-cent gasoline tax, to match Federal road funds. Non-highway fuel is not exempted on the extra penny.
Governor Schoeppel said last night that state engineers would start immediately to help counties set up secondary road plans. He described the bitterly-fought bill as "a constructive piece of legislation" to give both counties and the state "their greatest opportunity to get more roads and better roads than they have ever had before."
Capital and Labor In Extension Class
A class in applied psychology, sponsored by the extension division and attended by members of the International Ladies Garment Workers union and the Associated Managers association began last Monday night at the Hotel Phillips in Kansas City, Mo., announced Guy V. Keeler, director of the Engineering, Science, Management War Training program. Enrollment has reached 150.
The course, which will last 12 weeks, meeting every Monday night, is under the supervision of Dr. Roy Browning, head of the extension center in Kansas City. Expenses will be divided between the union and the manufacturers' association. Miss Elizabeth Cass is teaching the course
"This is an excellent example of capital and labor getting, together in one class for the purpose of discussing their problems together," Mr. Keeler said.
This class is one of many being taught regularly in Kansas City and other localities under the direction of the extension division.
Miss Frances Abts, journalism graduate in 1844, addressed a professional meeting of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority, in the Journalism building yesterday afternoon.

Rock Chalk Talk

The folly of feudin': The Dee Gees have a new feuding partner, in the form of the Sigma Chi's, their West Hills neighbors. But they brought it all on themselves this time. Wednesday night the gals made off with the prize package of the Chi lodge—their newly acquired, newly painted jalopy—and took it to the Dee Gee house for a remodeling job. When the Sigma Chi's arrived, the beautiful black and white paint job had been painted in vicious colors with wings and Beta Theta Pi written on the sides.
Foolosophy: Lighting three cigarettes on a match these days isn't unlucky, according to the campus fag fiends. It's just unlikely.
That was too much for the boys, so they laid waste to the house on the Hill, painting everything in sight, with special emphasis on anything in shorts resembling female legs. The merry whirl came to a halt, when Guynelle Jones, in pursuit of an invader, stumbled and broke her big toe. It's funny, but Guy, in Watkins hospital, can testify that it hurts, too.

Father fumes over fees: Then there was the father of a College freshman, who receiving his off-spring's request for payment of his fees, bitterly addressed his check to the business office at Frank Strong "Haul."
Novel name: Duke D'Ambra, local photographer, has been dubbed "Forever D'Ambra" by the Dramatic Workshop crew whose picture he took so long to take this week. Duke's favorite explanation of his real name is "Just call me Duke, 'cause I ain't no count."

Yes Sir, Good for You--night, when the Pi Phi's, ahead in an intramural game, were searching for persons to put in the game for participation points. Nelle fell heir to the job of substituting, and in she went—only to find herself having first serve. Pale with excitement. Nelle played a hardy game, with hilarious spectators enjoying her curious capers. The wise opposing team kept throwing the ring to Nelle, but she stayed in—and fought! Delighted pledge sisters carried grinning Nelle from the court on their shoulders at the end of the game.

PAPER!
It has gone to war BUT is still helping to fight a war at home. Your discarded paper can be converted into nourishment to sustain life.
It is no exaggeration to say that the paper destroyed daily would, if collected and sent to the mills, yield sufficient revenue to care for and feed thousands thru the year.
While we ask for paper, there is hardly anything which is not usable. DON'T throw anything usable away; let us judge its utility.
Please save your castoff CLOTHING, FURNITURE, BEDDING, SHOES, RAGS, IRON, FATS, and other salvage materials for our trucks to pick up.
Call the Salvation Army when you have these items ready and our truck will call for them, or bring them to the Salvation Army Store, 728 Massachusetts.
