LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1944
42ND YEAR
Editors to Meet For Conference On October 21
"E" Day (editors' day) on the campus has been set for Oct. 21, Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism announced today. The annual one-day conference of editors and publishers of Kansas will include round table discussions, a luncheon, and attendance at the Kansas-Nebraska football game.
The popular song-question, "On Would You Rather Be a Fish?" seems logical after all, when one sees the aquarium of undersea paintings just launched at Thayer museum.
Headline speakers will include Alfred G. Hill, publisher of the Chester (Pa.) Times, and the Fremont (Neb.) Tribune, and Harold J. T. Horan, staff member of Time magazine, formerly correspondent at Buenos Aires and Washington.
Dolph Simons, business manager of the Lawrence Journal World, will lead the roundtable discussion. Registration will start at 8 o'clock. Students of the department of journalism will assist in the entertainment of the visiting newspaper men and women.
Mrs. Palmer captures many forms of sea-life in her paintings—the fat, zebra-striped prisoner fish, silvery "odd cod" darting among sienna seaweed, sleepy porpoise, and schools of various fish, swirl and sway into the distance.
Paintings Glamorize 'Sea Food'
So realistic is this collection, painted by Lucie Palmer, that the observer automatically watches for movement of curious bulging-eyed carp swimming out of a brown murky pond, but imprisoned by a canvas. "Deep Water," murky seascape of ocean life 10 fathoms down, lends mystery to the exhibit. Mrs. Palmer paints with a humorous brush; in "Land Lover," she shows the "sinking" feeling one has on a first dive—as the diver clutches the ladder before going down to Davy Jones' locker.
A striking painting is the brilliantly-colored "Water Waltz," in which two sea plumes are swaying in the current off a Florida reef. "Wet Sunshine," dark coral heads on a white sand floor, and sunny pastel landscapes of coral reefs, lends beauty to the exhibit.
Developed Technique by Diving
Technique by Diving Lucie Palmer, artist-wife of the under-water photographer, Vincent Palmer, has developed the technique of painting beneath water by trailing her husband all over weird ocean bottoms, elad only in a bathing suit and diving helmet.
As he photographs, she transmits the fantastic things she views through the portholes of her helmet onto her animated canvas. Vincent Palmer is aptly called "the Water Winchell" of the deep, and his wife, co-explorer of worlds undersea, is fast winning recognition for her own achievements.

Turney, Pepinsky, Axe Attend Veterans Administration Meet
Dr. A. H. Turney, director of the Guidance Bureau, Mr. Harold Pepinsky, assistant director of the Guidance Bureau, and Dr. Leonard Axe, University director of the Veterans' Service Training, were in Wichita Saturday attending a conference at the regional office of the Veterans' Administration.
They discussed the problems connected with the testing and vocational guidance of the returning veterans.
Yank Forces Rip Into Nazi Lines
(International News Service)
Armored and infantry assault troops of the American first army ripped half-way through strong Siegfried line defenses north of Aachen today in a devastating attack which German sources said carried nine miles into Nazi positions.
On the Italian front fifth army forces swept forward in adverse weather to drive through the central sector of the Gothic line and drove to within 17 miles of Bologna. Weather conditions prevented large-scale operation on the British eighth army sector of the Gothic line.
Patriot forces in Warsaw were compelled to give in to Nazi occupation troops after five days of bloody fighting in the streets. Meanwhile, scattered action involving small groups of soldiers featured fighting on the Russian front.
In the Pacific the Japs claimed that Nip troops had made a prise landing on the eastern China seacount, adding that the troops were making their way overland toward Foochow, capital of Fukien province in what may be a successful attempt to capture the last port city remaining in Chinese and Allied hands.
In the southwest Pacific, American bombers continued to roam the skies with a devastating sweep against enemy air, land and shore facilities. Two blistering attacks were leveled at the northern Celebes, as American aerial sorties also hit Jap positions throughout New Guinea and Timor.

Senate Committee Asks Industry to Scrap Plants
The money will be divided evenly, half going to the National War fund, which is supported by all America, and the other half going to World Student relief, which is, according to Mrs. VanderWerf, "our own unique responsibility" because only students contribute.
The central committee of workers for the drive will meet in the Pine room of the Union building at 4:30 p.m. today. Martha Ellen Woodward, business senior, and Robert Gibbon, graduate student, are co-chairman of the drive. Publicity is in the hands of Neal Woodruff, College junior, and Dixie Gilliland, College sophomore. David Battenfeld, College sophomore, is in charge of arrangements for solicitors.
Washington—INS—A senate committee investigating industrial centralization recommended that congress free seven billion dollars of government-owned war plants in eleven eastern states by demanding that industry agree to scrap an equal amount of old plant space before they would be leased or sold. The plan is-designated to promote industrial growth in the west and south in the post war era.
Student relief is inter-national, inter-racial, non-political, and non-sectarian. It meets the intellectual and spiritual as well as the physical needs of students and professors in 17 countries on four continents wherever they are victims of war and it is possible to reach them. This relief is helping not only to win the war, since relief to China's students does just that, but is preparing also for the peace by providing educated leadership, Mrs. VanderWerf said.
Pre-Dawn Classes Ruin Students' Disposition
Two-five-two-five-two-five is a slogan soon to be familiar to student and faculty ears, for that amount. $2,525.25, has been set as the goal for the combined National War fund and World Student Service fund drive beginning next on the campus, Mrs. Rachel Vander-Werf, YWCA secretary, announced today.
"Go 'way!' It isn't even light outdoors yet!" is the standard groom that echoes familiarly through the organized and unorganized houses these mornings. The call boy (or girl) is thus greeted when he gently tries to drag you out of bed in the middle of the night. In extreme cases, violent arugments arise and the caller must convince you that all is not lost and that jumping out of the sleeping porch window is not the answer to the problem. Also he must successfully block the way to the phone booth where you will try to call the professor and explain that your enrollment in his 7:30 class was a horrible mistake.

couch and decide that your cold is much worse and it may develop into double pneumonia with a little encouragement.
Then with a sudden burst of energy, conscience and fear for your grade, you resign yourself to fate, say, "Well there are only three more weeks left anyway," throw on an ungodly color combination (due to the early hour and to the latest K.U. fad, and rush down to the kitchen for nourishment.
The cook doesn't arrive until time to fix breakfast for civilized students whose first classes begin at 8:30 so you maneuver a bobby pin around in the frigidaire lock, singe your eyebrows while lighting the oven, and at 7:19 you dash out the front door with books in one hand and a piece of toast and jelly in the other.

Mock Campaign To Be Sponsored By Forums Board
A mock political campaign and straw vote on the campus will give students who are not yet 21 an opportunity to register their opinion of national political candidates, Robert Gibbon, chairman of Forums Board, the organization sponsoring the project, has announced.
Chairmen of the two major parties have been chosen, he said. Eugenia Hepworth and David Battenfeld are the co-chaimen of the Democratic party; the Republican party will be headed by Mary Morrill and Jack Ramsey. These chairmen will set up party headquarters on the campus, and will conduct the campaigns for their respective parties, said Gibbon.
The polling will be held sometime in the week preceding the national election on November 7. The date has not been announced definitely. The vote will be preceded by final meetings with keynote speakers on the nominees, platforms, and utterances of both parties. On the ballot will appear the names of the nominees of the Democratic party, the Republican party, the Socialist party, and the America-First party.
The purpose of the activity, said Gibbon, is to provide a way in which the students can show an active interest in national politics and to afford a yardstick for measuring student political opinion.
Wilkins Presents First Faculty Recital
Featuring good tone contrasts and quality, Joseph F. Wilkins, tenor and professor of voice in the School of Fine Arts, presented the season's first faculty recital last night at Fraser theater.
An appreciative audience heard a wide variation of classical and semiclassical selections. Of special interest was the litling "Have You Seen But a Whyte Lily Grow?" a poem by the English writer Ben Johnson, set to music by Professor Wilkins' wife, Marie Wilkins, member of the Metropolitan Opera.
A group of Schubert selections sung by Mr. Wilkins included "Seligkeit (Happiness)", "Ungeduld (Impatience)", and "Wer Nie Sein Brod Mit Thranen Ass."
"The Rich Old Lady," a folk song from Bedford county, Va., and "Chanson A Boire", a drinking song by Ravel, entertained the audience. The next faculty recital will be given by Allie Merle Conger, associate professor of piano at the University, on Monday, Oct. 16, at Fraser theater.
