Theme of Union Carnival to Vary From Messages to Marriages
The Union carnival promises to be the main event of the weekend, being the only authorized party for Saturday night. The stage will be set for the grand opening on Saturday morning when the organized groups will set up booths and side shows. "Booths may also be set up Friday night," said Jane Atwood, social chairman of the Union, "and the person in charge of each booth should see me as to the location of their booth." The booths must be taken down Saturday night or early Sunday morning because of the Vesper services which will be held at the auditorium Sunday afternoon, Miss Atwood also said.
A prize of five dollars will be given to the organized house having the best booth. Several of the houses are not giving out any information as to the nature of their displays until the night of the carnival, so it is unpredictable what will be in store for those attending. The houses who have announced the subject of their booths are Gamma Phi Beta, with a Western Union office; Kappa Kappa Gamma, featuring "ring the duck"; Chi Omega, holding a rat race; and Delta Gamma, giving character sketches. If any young couple would like to be married that night, Pi Beta Phi will perform the ceremony; Kappa Alpha Theta promises refreshments in the way of a coke concession, while Pi Kappa Psi is giving out with a bingo stand. The Corbin Hall booth will strive to gather customers by means of a unusual exhibition of Petty girls.
Judged for Effectiveness
At last year's Student Union carnival, the Triangles won the prize with a booth decorated with electric light bulbs and with the ingenious scheme of dumping water on a waiting member of the Triangle house as the target prize. The judging was based on the effectiveness of the idea. Approximately 600 persons attended the carnival last year.
Charles Steeper's Lawrence high school band will be on the stage to play for the dancing. Dr. and Mrs. H.A. Beamer will be the chaperons at the carnival, which will last from 9 p.m. until 12 m. The booths will be set up around a central dance floor.
Funds to Be for Future Parties
According to Eugenia Hepworth, president of the Student Union, the funds raised at the carnival will be used to finance other Union parties and activities. There will be an admission charged at the doorway Saturday night and a slight charge will be made at each of the concession booths, Miss Hepworth also said. Complimentary tickets are being sent to faculty members.
Members of the Union activities committee who planned the carnival are Jane Atwood, chairman, Ann Zimmerman, Barbara Thiele, Marjorie Beneke, Marian Hasty, Jeanne Brown, Joan Woodward, Edith Marie Darby, Betty Demecke, Rod McIvor, Bob Ramsey, and Shive.
Berle. Denies Charges That Small Natoins Were Slighted
Chicago, (INS)—Adolph A. Berle, assistant secretary of state and president of the international civil aviation conference, denied today charges that the smaller nations represented had been ignored to the advantage of the major powers. Other members of the British and American delegations to the 54 nation Chicago conference supported Berle's denial.
Meanwhile, conferences among the American, British and Canadian delegation heads in an effort to iron out differences on the powers of whatever world authority is set up o oversee postwar international aviation were reported at an end.

T. D. Jones Speaks To Topeka Club
Simplicity of design was the keynote of Prof. T. D. Jones' talk before the members of the Topeka Club of Printing House Craftsmen at the Hotel Jayhawk last night.
Illustrating his lecture with slides, Professor Jones first discussed the functional designs of the cave man. Then he covered the varied periods of the development of civilization and emphasized the beauty of articles which are functionally correct.
He also talked on streamlining and its probably place in the post-war world, and said that modern trends will be toward simplicity as applied to home design, machine design, the graphic arts, and a multitude of other fields. This will be true as long as we have mass production, he asserted.
In addition to members of the Journalism faculty, M. M. Fowler, J. M. Brown, Haskell, and Dorwin Hart and Fred Snyder attended.
Nations Must Help British Minister Says
London—(INS)—Britain's minister of state for foreign affairs, Richard K. Law, served notice today that the British government is opposed to having any nation which fails to make a positive contribution to the Allied war effort represented in peace discussion.
Franklin worked hard as a young man, developing the first newspaper chain and was able to retire at the age of 42. He lived exactly 42 years longer, devoting his time to philanthropy, travel, science, and friendship, in all of which he was first.
Friend of All Ages
that if Franklin used an incorrect word, it was due to the French language, not to Franklin."

Loved by men, women and children alike, Franklin never seemed to grow old. Though he was feeble in later years, his mind never wore out.
"Franklin was an enemy of all the sour and sullen," Mr. Van Doren said. "He had the ability to live naturally and easily, spending no time in agonizing over things."
Mr. Van Doren's closing remark was, "Standing foremost among the three great Americans, Jefferson and Lincoln, Franklin possessed the virtue of being really gay. That is why we love him."

Entries to Be Placed Before May 1,1945 For Carruth Prize
The William Herbert Carruth poetry prize is awarded annually to the students of the University who write the best original poetry during the year. Entries may be placed in the Chancellor's office any time before May 1, 1945. Each selection of poetry must be signed with a pen name, accompanied with a sealed envelope containing the owner's real name, Professor Hankins, chairman of the committee said today.
In order that prizes could be awarded annually, the Carruth endowment of $5000 was made. Values of the prizes vary. Last year $50 was given for the first prize, $25 for the second, and $15 for the third. Winners were David Battenfeld, Betty Jean Nelson, and Addie Egbert. The prize-winning selections will be published in the Jayhawk.
Judges include the committee chairman, an alumnus, and a literary man. However, they have not been chosen for this year. On the preliminary committee of selection are Miss Rose Morgan, and Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes, of the department of English. Judges last year were Professor Hankins, Robert Nathan, and Prof. Kenneth Rockwell of Arlington College.
Attending the University four years, Professor Carruth also served as a faculty member, administrative head of the department of German, and vice-chancellor. Although he wrote both poetry and prose, his poem, "Each in His Own Tongue" is most famous.
Someone once said of the purpose of the Carruth poetry prize, "It is an attempt to carry on to succeeding generations the spirit of Professor Carruth, who was ever eager to encourage poetic expression on the part of his students, ever quick to help them bring forth any honest or courageous or beautiful thought that might be theirs to express."
K.U. Dames Gather For Fall Reception
In 1927 the first prizes were given. To Ralph Leslie Wallace of Larned, a college freshman, was awarded the first prize for his poem "Sung in Youth; a Sonnet Sequence." Lois Bernadine Thompson of Concordia was given the second prize for her "Reminiscence."
Members of the KU Dames Club entertained at a fall reception at the home of Mrs. J. Leon Sealey, 1605 Tennessee, last night. Mrs. Sealey and Mrs. Everett Brown were co-hostesses for the club.
Included on the program were two musical numbers, "Frauner," by Schumann, and "Boueee" by Handel, played by Mrs. Ervin Olson, violin, and Mrs. Floyd Fantner, cello, Mrs. Brown gave four short readings, and Mrs. R. M. Lee spoke about the Dames Club.
Refreshments were served from a table with yellow tapers and nraigolds. Mrs. N. P. Sherwood, sponsor of the Dames, and Mrs. Madison Coombes served.

Plans for Air School Exploratory; KU Now Third in War Training
Chancellor D. W. Malott explained today that the proposals made to the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce Monday to install a school of aeronautical industry for the University are of an exploratory nature. The meeting, which Dean F. T. Stockton, of the School of Business, Dean J. O. Jones, of the School of Engineering, and Chancellor Malott attended, was arranged to eroll the general interest and backing of the aviation industry in the University's opportunities.
With more than 2,000,000 aviators returning after the war, there will be "a greater emphasis on aviation in the future," Chancellor Malott said. "The University has trained more workers for the aviation industry in such fields as airplane design and materials than almost any other school," he pointed out.
The Engineering Science Management War Training of the extension division has trained more than 9,000 workers in aircraft and aeronautical courses alone, according to Guy V. Keeler, director of the ESMWT, who explains further that there have been in excess of 50,000 separate enrollments in Kansas alone in courses covering all phases of engineering, physics, chemistry, and business since they were first opened in 1940. The present, third program of the ESMWT is the result of growth from the Engineering Defense Training, 1940, to Engineering Science Management War Training one and two in 1942 and 1943 respectively. The present program is under the direction of Dean Jones, Prof. R. Q. Brewster, of the department of chemistry, Prof. J. D. Stranathan, of the department of physics, and Dean Stockton.
These courses for training in war
industry have been offered in every state. The University of Kansas program, administered by the extension division under the direction of Mr. Keeler, ranked third during the July-August period among the 213 war training centers established in universities throughout the United States. Only the programs offered by the University of California and the Illinois Institute of Technology exceeded that of Kansas in volume of enrollments and number of classes conducted.
