THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Fee Charged For Tour of Country's Capitol
It has been suggested that governmentpaid guides under the civil service program, should conduct visitors through the capitol free of charge any day of the week. If this could not be worked out, perhaps government officials could devise a more satisfactory scheme, but something should be done about the situation immediately.
So this is a free and democratic country, symbolized by the Statue of Liberty and the national capitol! The majority of American citizens accept this belief unquestioningly and think that it also applies to little things, such as sight-seeing, for instance.
To such readers then, a recent news story which revealed that a fee is now being charged for conducted tours through the capitol building in Washington, D.C., was quite a shock. If they wish to be accompanied through the maze of halls and rooms by a guide, civilians must pay him 25 cents under this system. Government employees, getting a slight reduction, are charged only 15 cents to inspect the halls of the building whose dome symbolizes so much to all Americans.
A special concession is made for service men and women. They are allowed to enter this building free on Sundays—that is, if they go between 11 o'clock in the morning and 1:30 in the afternoon. At any other time, they, too, must pay to see one of the things for which they are fighting.
Graduation exercises were held Friday afternoon for Company 6. Platoon 2 of the Electricians' Mates.
Company 7, which is the only company remaining will leave in about two weeks when the entire Electricians Mates' program will close here on the campus.
EM's Were Graduated Fridav Afternoon
The men who were graduated Friday went to a different base, and from there they will be transferred to various places.
A monograph written by Miss Mabel B. Elliott of the department of sociology entitled, "Coercive Methods in Punishment," will soon be published by the Quaker Foundation in Philadelphia.
Written by Miss Elliott during the summer, the monograph traces the history of American penal methods and analyzes the effectiveness of force and corporal punishment.

Bedtime story — Jean Atkinson's Chi O sisters decided to put one over on her one night so they waited 'til she was ready to retire ('jamers, pin curls, cold cream, et all) then stuck a fuzzy-wuzzy bear doll in her bed. Soon Jean came scampering in, turned out the light and leaped into bed (with the fuzzy-wuzzy bear doll)—and in case you were wondering, that was the cause of the weird screams which resounded over the campus Thursday night.

He made a bad pass—Bob Heckler, an old freshman of five days standing, was really putting forth supreme effort last night at the football game over at Carruth. Running across the yard attempting to catch a long pass that was about to go over his head, he made a valiant leap and lit in the fish pond. Although he missed the pass, the opposing team gave him the score.
The sororities are having quite a (good) time with their "freshwomen" pledges. At the Gamma Phi house, Joan Hendrickson ordered a taxi to go to Ad on the advice of one of her elders who said the site was far, far away. An Alpha Chi active was making a good profit selling "post office privileges" to the young 'uns at 75c per. Alpha Delt pledges seem to be a more enterprising gang, however.

"The candidate should have experience in field marching." Professor Wiley said. He will also take application for drum majorttes—women students with ability to twirl the baton.
all the names of the various actives, they pinned a big sign over each door to the effect that "Marge Shryock lurks within" or "This is the presidential suite."
Lt. Charles (Chuck) Elliott, spent this weekend on the campus. It was his last visit here before going overseas.
Professor Wiley also director of the orchestra, said he is in need of viola, cello, and strong base players for that organization.

Dirty work at the crossroads There seems to be some confusion as to the identity of the girls' dorm located in Lilac Lane. The signs in the front yard say "Blake Hall," "Home Management House," and Miller Hall."

He's touched—For those who have been wondering about the beautiful bandage Don Cousins sports these days—the lad was playing touch football recently when he somehow got the ball, his collarbone and a 200 pound, 6-foot kiddy all mixed up. The collarbone got the worst end of the deal, no matter how you look at it.

I. U. Tests Diet Effects
From tests during which 12 volunteer "human guinea pigs" spent eight hours a day in a temperature of 20 degrees below zero, the University of Illinois is learning about some of the effects of diet upon human resistance to cold and upon human activities under cold conditions.
****
The nitro-paraffin industry had its start in the chemistry laboratories at Purdue University. Fromnitroparafins come ingredients in the Army's raincoats, floor wax, camouflage paints, solvents, cosmetics, and insecticides.
By means of thermocouples, small eletrical temperature-measuring devices, which were located at 17 points on each subject's body from forehead to left big toe, body temperatures were kept under constant observation.
The research is part of an intensive study of diet and climate and its effect on humans which is being carried on by the University of Illinois. The tests were made in the educational and research hospital of the University's college of medicine at the Illinois medical center.

For the first time the University of Illinois will include courses in physical education in the extension program. "Problems in Physical Education" and "Curriculum in Sports" are the new subjects offered.

Have a Coca-Cola = Soldier, refresh yourself
...or a way to relax in camp
To soldiers in camp, from the Gulf Coast to the north woods, Coca-Cola is a reminder of what they left behind. On "Company Street" as on Main Street, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes. Ice-cold Coca-Cola in your icebox at home is a symbol of a friendly way of living.
