Mental Breakdowns Serious in War
In this war far more men in uniform are breaking down emotionally than was expected by the U. S. armed forces. To get some idea of the enormity of this problem, consider that around 10,000 men a month are now being discharged from the Army for psychiatric reasons.
Many Americans do not understand why this is happening. There are individual cases and reasons, but two chief causes are apparent. There are not enough trained psychiatrists at induction centers to prevent emotionally unstable persons from entering the armed services. These persons may or may not be able to acclimate themselves to every day living problems, but they certainly cannot face with emotional equilibrium the stress of combat.
Secondly, the appeal to fight the enemy is an appeal to reason, not a high psychological impetus. In the last war those who fought for the United States fought for an idealism not questioned as today by cynicism, depression, and pacifism of 20 years. So Americans alone fight, not to protect their native soil but to prevent possible domination by Germany or Japan, not driven by emotions but by intellect.
The United States is paying millions of dollars for the physical welfare of the men in uniform — in equipment, in firearms, in conveyances, and in medicine. The mental welfare of our servicemen is equally important in winning this war. Government money would be well spent, then, in treatment of emotional collapses overseas when the treatment can be given immediately, and in providing for careful mental examinations at induction centers.

Seniors Urged to Take Physical Exams Now
Seniors who wish to take their senior physical examinations or to complete their immunization tests before final examinations begin, should start immediately, said Dr. Ralph Canuteson.
Watkins Memorial hospital will continue giving physical examinations through June 23. It will be impossible to give them after that date, as the laboratory work and the necessary X-rays could not be completed.
This is an opportunity for seniors to receive a complete physical examination before entering certain occupations where they are required.
PHI BETA KAPPA--forward. But at each motion, the turtle chumped out a big snap. Bill Johnson and James Walker watched the whole thing from a safe distance. It was Herbert Marshall, just back from Guadalcanal, who finally did the job. He found a board, scooped up the turtle, and dumped it into the trunk of the car. Thoroughly drenched, the successful six returned to the party. And the Turtle named Murtle is now the property of the zoology department.

Have a ham, burger—After all but knocking themselves out at the swimming pool a few nights ago, five DG's decided they needed FOOD. Hair dripping over their eyes and well-shorted, they walked into one of the local eating spots, and ordered five hamburgers, and waited, and waited, and waited. $^{7}$
Finally "Skipper" Whitmer was too hungry to stand it any longer. Stepping over to the counter, she inquired, "Pardon me, but are you making the mustard?" The aproned Joe replied, "If yah don't like it, babe, why don'tcha make 'em yourself?"
Suddenly in rushed excited Dr. Homer Jack, Unitarian minister, who had just seen a huge turtle waddling up the street. He wanted to catch it, and would they help?
They would be delighted. Ram was pouring down, as they ran out and jumped into Dr. Jack's car. At last they saw the turtle ambling on all fours toward the campus. The sextet jumped out and went over.
Sighted Turtle; Sank Same. Last week members of the Saturday Evening Club held their final party of the year. Having licked the last bone clean, the group started singing.
"You mean it?" said Skipper. "I mean it," said the Joe. So back to the stove "Skipper" trotted, threw on the five little meatballs, and soon came back to serve open-mouthed and drooling Sarah Marks and her sister Leeta, Bernett Replogle, and Faith "Spooks" Severson. Said "Spooks:" "She's a good cook; they even had meat in 'em."

The scholarship is for two weeks with all expenses paid to Camp Shelby which is located on the shore of Lake Michigan. Mary Morrill. College sophomore. Hiawatha, received the scholarship last year.
Barbara Haffner, College freshman, Kansas City, Mo., has been awarded the Danforth Foundation scholarship to the American Youth Foundation camp at Shelby, Mich. She was one of approximately 30 girls to receive this scholarship awarded to a freshmen in college who is interested in religious education.
Poison ivy is easily transferable. In one recent case, although the victim was not near the ivy herself, she came in contact with it when she touched a stick that had been growing in a bed of poison ivy.
Wins Danforth Prize
That old pest, poison ivy, is again claiming many victims, as summer weather calls students out of doors. The hospital has already had many cases of poison ivy.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Health Service at Watkins Memorial hospital, said the students should familiarize themselves with the ivy, and then stay away from it. After being out where there might be some poison ivy, the safest thing to do is to take a "thorough" bath, immediately, according to Dr. Canuteson.
Poison Ivy Again Finds Victims
The Story of Gummy Delta and the Delta Gammas. Bobbie Thiele, freshman, is really taking the motto "Be kind to dumb animals," to heart these days. In the past week she has harbored three cats and two stray dogs in her room, as well as nursemaiding three small turtles. Newest addition is a little mongrel newly named Gummy Delta.
***
Moseying home from class the other day, Bobbie met a little boy who was crying hard. "What's the matter, little boy" said she. He cried that his mother wouldn't let him keep his six-weeks old puppy, and wouldn't she, Bobbie, like to have it? Softhearted B, agreed, and lugged home her latest prize. She fed it three wieners and a bone. And then, because it makes a floor look so chic, and secondly because the pup was six-weeks old, Bobbie put newspapers all over the floor. She hauled an old box up from the basement, and tenderly put Gummy Delta to bed.
But G.D. it seems, was just a little homesick. All night he whined, and Bobbie, at 1, 3, and 5 a.m., got up and comforted said puppy.
Said haggard-eyed Bobbie the next morning: "It isn't puppy love any longer; he and I are through!"
State Patrol Begins Car License Checkup
Checking up on delinquent purchasers of motor ear license plates and driver's licenses, a group of state highway patrol officers yesterday started a drive in Lawrence.

License plates should have been purchased last January 1, and new driver's licenses were issued last July 1. Persons without the proper driver's license or auto tags are subject to fine.

The modern way to control under-arm perspiration is 5-Day Underarm Pads. Just a whisk of one of these lotionized pads and perspiration and odor vanish in one to five days depending upon you. It's the best way to stay fresh and sweet and to get that "Appetizing" look.
