New School Honors William Allen White
The regents of the University of Kansas have taken highly appropriate action in designating the University department of journalism as "the William Allen White School of Journalism." In accordance with Cancellor Malott's proposal the school will now be established on an independent basis with its own dean and faculty. It is expected that the William Allen White Memorial Foundation, now in process of organization, will have its headquarters at the school and will use foundation funds to promote newspaper work in Kansas.
Through these plans the state will perpetuate the memory of its most distinguished citizen in a way that certainly would have appealed to him. For all his varied activities, William Allen White was primarily a newspaperman, and his first love was his chosen profession. He was always eager to see its standards advanced so that its public service would be increasingly important. His horizon included the nation and the world. But as a native of Kansas he was concerned first of all that Kansas newspapers should be out in front.
Its new name should be an inspiration to all students in the University's school of journalism. It would stand for the wisdom, the tolerance, the freedom, the courage, the progressive vision that made William Allen White the great newspaperman he was. Undoubtedly the Foundation in its association with the school, will be able to make a valuable contribution to better newspaper work throughout Kansas. The entire enterprise is developing in a way that must give satisfaction to all those who admired and loved Mr. White and hoped to see his ideals a continuing influence in the state and nation.From the Kansas City Times.

Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
The Whole Truth—It seems almost a shame to tell them, they bit on it so beautifully, but just to keep the records straight, we feel it only fair to offer the truth back of "one night last week" to Watkinites. When June Montgomery of Watkins hall received her Theta Epsilon (Baptist sorority) pin last week the idea began to form, and little by little it grew into quite a thing. As coincidence would have it, roommate, Evelyn Hodgson, received a box of chocolates the same day, and opportunity knocked.
At closing hours a select group were invited to a special meeting, at which June stared in the traditional chocolate passing ceremony. As a stage prop, the girls used a picture of a Navy air corps ensign, borrowed from Miller hall. As the story went—and it has gone quite a way—the man in question is now in the South Pacific. He attended Baylor University in Texas and was a Theta Epsilon.
It sounded real enough, but it was Helen Seamell, Texan of one year, who innocently added the final touches. The native daughter took one look at the pin and offered, "Oh yes, I knew a lot of Theta Epsions in Texas. They're good boys."
Out Again, In Again — Some months ago journalist celebrated their annual Zilch dinner. As their skit of the evening, Law of the Press class, taught by Elmer Bier, portrayed the favorite pastime of girls in the department, that of fainting in class. Because she had had more experience than others, Wilma "Billie" Thiele was chosen to play the lead. As played by the students, the class reached a climax, Mr. Beth asked a question of Miss Thiele, Billie gasped, "I feel sick," and was dragged from the class.

Last Thursday, Law of the Press class met as usual. The class reached a climax, Mr. Beth asked a question of Miss Thiele, Billie gasped, "I feel faint," and startled class mates helped her from the room.
It's a Hard Life—A group of Alpha O's were seated in a car in front of the chapter house Wednesday night (Why, is not definitey stated) when they heard a distant "Hep - two - three - four" at the foot of Twelfth street hill. They looked out to find one soldier, one marine, and one navy man wending a snake-like march up the hill. It was fully 10 minutes before the troop was abreast of the car, and the girls heard the marine leader gasp, "Oh, will I ever get this platoon on this hill?"
Tradition must go on:
In answer to their suppressed mirth, the soldier yelled, "Hey, sergeant, those sorority girls are laughing at you."
"Let 'em laugh," gasped the sergeant, "we'll take this hill yet."
And the hep - two - three continued.

Citizens Asked To Curtail Vacation Plans
To the continued burden of the preparation for the invasion, must now be added the job of getting our casualties from incoming hospital ships and troop transports at numerous east and west coast ports to the general hospitals, Colonel Johnson said.
The military and war production demand on the railroads as well on inter-city buses are now at an all-time high and will increase during our summer, the ODT announced.
As a result of increased military activity due to the invasion, Col. J. Monroe Johnson, director of the office of Defense Transportation, today warned the public that railroad and bus passenger space might be cancelled without notice and urged John Q. Public to refrain from making summer vacation plans requiring either railroad or intercity bus travel.

Busch Meredith to Receive Commission in Air Corps
Aviation Cadet Busch Meredith, of Olathe, will receive his pilot's wings and officer's bars soon at the Fampa, Texas, twin-engined advanced flying school. Cadet Meredith was a sophomore in the School of Engineering and Architecture last year.
Appointed to flight training in Oct. 1943, he received primary training at Ballinger, Texas, and basic training at San Angelo, Texas. At the completion of his course at Pampa, he will be assigned to duty as an instructor or a combat pilot.

Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio are among the leading milkweed produceing states.
While many Americans are traveling on the far flung fronts of the world, the John Q. Publies at home are asked to do their part by spending a vacation at home and thus helping the government in keeping all transportation facilities available for military and essential war productions.

Oil men say that this method will have inestimable significance to Kansas industry. In addition to the savings resulting from elimination of pumping and disposing of enormous quantities of salt water, operators who have seen the new treatment applied, say it will lengthen the life of wells, and make possible greatly increased ultimate production. Research which developed the new process also revealed information as to how fast a well should be pumped for greatest efficiency.
Research Foundation to Obtain Patent for Oil Well Process
A patent for the process of excluding water from certain types of oil wells as developed by the recently formed University of Kansas Research Foundation is being obtained by the Foundation, Prof. Eugene A. Stephenson, director of the Foundation and chairman of the department of petroleum engineering, has announced.
In the new treatment oil is pumped back into the well at high pressure and high velocity. When done properly and with the proper amount of oil, the water is driven back and sealed in the water-bearing strata. In experimental cases these beneficial results have lasted more than a year.
It is generally estimated that of the total amount of fluid pumped to the surface from the average oil well in Kansas, 85 to 87 per cent is water. When the cost of pumping any fluid half a mile up runs from five to 10 cents a barrel and the problem of proper disposition of salt

water on the surface is considered, the value of the Stephenson water exclusion method can be estimated.
"Oil companies believe," he said, "that it will add thousands of barrels of oil to the ultimate recovery."
Professor Stephenson and an assistant, P. T. Amstutz, worked on the research for three years under a grant financed jointly by the University and by three oil companies.
Dr. Stephenson does not claim for his new method a complete cure-all for salt water in oil wells. If applied too late or in wells with too much water, it can not get the job done, he admits. Furthermore, it will not be known until this method is tested more widely how successfully it works in wells of other depths and strata than those tested.
