Cupid Will Be on the Loose Af Midweek and Vice Versa Dance
"Will you be my Valentine?" seems to be the question of the day on the K.U. campus. University students are doing up Cupid's day in a big way, with a Valentine midweek scheduled for tonight, the Heart Hop to look back on, and the Vice Versa dance to look forward to. Hearts and cupids bows are the current popular decoration theme.
The Valentine midweek will be held from 7:30 to 9 p.m. tonight in the main lounge of the Union, with Don Cousins and his V-12 band playing for the dance. The three girl vocalists will also appear with the band tonight. They are Joan Hendrickson, Jo Ann McCrory, and Mary Lou Matthews.
The election of a King of Hearts will highlight the Jay Jane Vice Versa dance Saturday night. The pop club king will be announced at the intermission. The affair is the annual backward dance sponsored by the Jay James. Girls will ask their dates, call for them at their respective houses, send corsages, pay the bills, and act as all-around escorts.
However, if Cupid has not yet stabbed some lone male; he may attend the dance stag. Music will be furnished by Walter Martie and his 11-piece band from St. Joseph, Mo

Envelopes Possess Nine Lives
Cats aren't the only species with more than one life to brag about The University, for example, uses envelopes, for campus correspondence which do their duty far more often than the regulation once. ...
When Prof. T. C. Ryther, director of the University Press and chairman of the War Conservation program for the campus, asked faculty members in 1942 for suggestions to save paper, an idea was submitted by V. P. Hessler, professor of electrical engineering. Professor Hessler had thought of a way to save paper by cutting down on the number of envelopes used for the campus. Instead of just using the envelope once, why not use it six or eight times? Envelopes are now printed with spaces for several names and addresses with directions to send the letter to the last address.
These envelopes are used only for campus correspondence, and not for United States mail. According to Professor Rythet, the device has saved more than 100,000 envelopes since it was first begun.

Christian Ethics Basis Is Love in Paradox
—Hazelton
911 Mass. St.
Discussing Christian ethics in comparison with other ethical standards, Roger Hazelton, dean of the chapel at Colorado college, Colorado Springs, Monday night told a group of Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. members that the theory of Christian ethics is love, an impossible possibility. Mr. Hazelton explained his paradox by saying that every act performed could be more loving, but could never be perfectly loving.
Mr. Hazelton addressed a faculty group at a luncheon meeting Monday on "The College Student and Religion." He left that night for Topeka where he will be the main speaker at the Religious Emphasis week program at Washburn university.
The Colorado professor of philosophy spoke to the group of 25 students chosen from campus Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. organizations at a supper meeting at Henley House Monday. Following his talk student members participated in a roundtable discussion on ethical standards.
Paul Chua Answers Ad - Comes to K. U. To Study Engineering
Paul Chua, a Chinese student, has come from Calcutta, India, to study electrical engineering at the University. He explains that he answered the advertisement of a Kansas City school which he read in an American scientific magazine and was referred to the University by this school. After corresponding with L. C. Woodruff, registrar, he decided to transfer to K.U. He had been attending the Bengal Engineering college in Calcutta for a year.
Born in Singapore, Chua lives there until forced but by the Japanese. The reason for the perfect English which he speaks, despite his being in this country only a week, is that he attended boarding school in Singapore and spoke only English. "In fact," he said, "I know no Chinese."
He is at present staying at Battenfeld hall and is enrolling as a freshman in the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Chua came to the United States on a troop ship which took six weeks to cross the Pacific. He met, on board, Paul Moritz, graduate of
Thinclads Gird For Dual Meet With Missouri
Seeking their second dual meet victory in three starts, the Kansas thinlocks will take to the road again this Saturday in a meet with Missouri Saturday afternoon at Columbia.
The Jayhawkers were edged out by Nebraska at Lincoln two weeks ago who in turn were swamped by the Tigers last week, placing the Kansans on the wrong end of the odds. The times in the M.U.-N.U. meet last Saturday were much better as a whole than those of the dual meet here in Lawrence, indicating that the Missourians possess some all-round track performers. Bill Bangert of Missouri set a new meet record in the shot put Saturday when he heaved the ball 51 feet 91⁄4 inches. Quinn, Exler, Killough, and Miller are other Tiger thinlads due to give the Jayhawk field performers no little trouble.
Earnest Bauer, Wallace Rouse, Jim Sargent, Norval Jackson, Harvey Morrow, and Lynn Leigh turned in outstanding performances against the Sooners Saturday, taking a majority of the first. The Kansas winners were not pushed very hard to win, however, which may have something to do with the respective times of the two meets. The members of the squad, under the direction of head coach Ray Kanehl, have been holding extensive practices every day this week in preparation for the battle.
