K. U. Buildings Need Air-Conditioning
The University of Kansas is generally classified as one of the most up-to-date institutions of higher learning in the country. And it is in most respects. The sad lack of air-conditioned class rooms and offices, however, improvements which the University of Colorado and the University of Minnesota made several years ago; definitely keeps K.U. from being quite as modern a school as it might be.
There is certainly no other building improvement that would benefit all of the student body and the faculty members as would air-conditioning. No other project is so sorely needed.
The morale of late spring, summer session, and early fall University students, as well as scholastic averages would obviously climb if cooler classrooms and laboratories took the place of hot and stuffy incubators in which students now perspiringly attend classes on blazing days from May through October. As any student or faculty member can testify, going to a K.U.class on a hot day might easily be lisened to taking a Turkish bath.
Actually many students refuse to continue their college work in the summer at K.U. because they say they dread working in the overwhelmingly hot class and laboratory rooms.
Though possibly this improvement cannot be made until the end of the war, certainly plans should be made now to make University classrooms it least as comfortable as modern time stores are.
Manager Is Needed For Book Exchange
Written applications for the position of manager of the ASC Book Exchange during the summer session must be turned in to Prof. J. G. Blocker by Wednesday noon, announced Betty Leibbrand, present manager; today.
References from two professors regarding the person's ability to handle the job must accompany the application which should also include details of the applicant's experience, stated Miss Leibbrand. Members of the All-Student Council will then personally interview applicants.
Committee Appointed To Select Lecturers
Raymond Nichols will head the committee selecting speakers on the 1944-45 lecture course. J. W. Ashton, Waldemar Geltch, H. B. Chubb, and C. F. Nekson have been selected as committee members.
Because of financial curtailment in the provisions for next year's lecture course, it will probably be possible to engage only two speakers as was done this season, stated Chancellor Malott. In addition to selecting the main speakers, however, it will be necessary to make arrangements for substitutes since the best speakers obtainable often find at the last minute they can not appear as scheduled.
This committee, together with representatives from the student body, plans to meet sometime this week to discuss next year's program.

So What To Crow About Now? V-12 George Downing, recently engaged to Gamma Phi Betty Learned, is a talented boy; he crowds like a rooster. Doris Kyle, also a Gamma Phi, is talented, too; she clucks like a hen. So every time Gear sees Doris, the two break out in a melodic duet of crowing and clucking

And A Bo-Witching Time Was Had By All. — Theta's Donice Schwein and Lila Jean Doughman had an urge to scare people the other night. So, dressed in filmy
Thursday afternoon Doris was walking home from class, and passing Snow hall, she heard loud and vigorous crowing. She knew it must be George; no one else could crowd like that. So Doris turned around and gave out with the loudest cluck she could muster. And then she got embarrassed. For the crow she had heard wasn't George at all; it seems that Snow has acquired a real rooster for use in laboratory experiments. George wasn't there, but the rest of the Navy was, so Doris, with a quick about-face and a red one as well, sped on home.
white nightgowns (ed. note: so they'd look like ghosts) and clutching big, woolly, floor mops, the two hopped out on the third floor fire escape, and began wildly swinging their mops and moaning as weirdly as they could.
At the stroke of midnight, Nancy "Sashe" Freeto happened to walk by, saw the apparitions, and promptly had hysterics. Fearful that the house manager would fine them for disturbing the peace and quiet Donice and Dough rushed in and threw a pillow over Sashe to muffle her.
Joan Moore, hearing the noise, hurried out to discover the trouble. She promptly decided to scare rommate Mary Ruth Murray with the news. So she rushed in, shook sleeping Mary Ruth hard, and gasped, "Mary Ruth, Mary Ruth, Someone is on the fire escape! We will all die if you don't hurry and get up! Help, Mary Ruth, help!"
MR., still a little dozy, leaned on one arm, looked out with one eye, and replied sleepily, "Who is it, honey?" The Theta's are saying that was a great comment to make
