Union Fountain Has Responsibilities
The Union fountain now faces a greater responsibility to please the students and professors on the campus than it has ever had to face before.
Why? Because it is the only place close to the Hill that is open during hours other than regular meal times. Two of the college restaurants, Bricks and the Jayhawk cafe, are now closed. They were nearer to the campus than any other college "hangouts." The Cottage begins its business at three in the afternoon and closes at eleven at night. The Rock Chalk is open just long enough to serve lunch and dinner—from eleven until one and from five until seven in the evening.
Where must students go? The only place left that can serve the students conveniently is the Union fountain. Because it is the one place open for business, it must perform a standard of service far beyond anything it ever had had to live up to previously.
The fountain in the past has been a favorite the students loved to haint, where they could sip cokes, enjoy the companionship of their friends, and of course, lessen the pangs of hunger that gnaw any energetic KU-ite in the course of a busy day.
Even the professors used to make the fountain their bite-to-eat spot, but comparatively few are now seen passing a recreational moment or two sitting at the tables or chatting with the students. They added to the college atmosphere themselves, and they liked the spirit, the KU talk, and the service at the fountain
A high repute for good food, friendly service, and pleasant surroundings has always been credited to the Union fountain. It has been clean and beyond criticism — no drinking (of beer) and no gambling
The fountain now ranks far above just one of the places where everybody goes. It is the only place! It must please the publid. It was established for the University people as their own, a college "hangout" for them alone to enjoy at any time they wish and as often as they wish. Now the Union fountain has a monopoly on the service to the University clientele, a monopoly that must satisfy to a degree far beyond anything the fountain has ever done before.—W. T.
Lt. Ballard Promoted To Rank of Captain

Dr. John H. Frederick of the University of Texas predicts a network of feeder airlines after the war to service smaller towns.
Rock Chalk Talk
P
And Their Theme Song Is — Pi Phi pledges have been entertaining actives in a big way lately. Monday night Betty Grant, Elaine Wyman, and Jean Stodard did the honors. The trio got up, went to the middle of the room, and began singing several popular songs, each cf which was supposed to characterize some active.
The chapter had no trouble identifying the right tune with the right girl, until the threesome burst out in a rendition of "No, No, a Thousand Times No," at which amazed active Virginia Schaeffer screamed, "You mean, someone in this house?"

D-Day was something that nobody knew the date of, but one hill housemother hit it on the nose. Possibly Republican in her political leanings, the lady just knew it would fall on June 6, because that was the date of the Republican national convention (so she said), and don't the Democrats always pull something whenever the Republicans want a little of the limelight? She got the invasion date a hundred per cent correct by her reasoning, but was just a little surprised to find that the Republican convention begins the 26th, instead of the 6th of June.

Night Life in Kansas City, or the Alley Rats come Home - The Psi Expeditionary Force, consisting of three of the more ardent brothers, came home to roost after an exceptional weekend in KC. One of the three, now a paratrooper with the AAF, arranged for three dates after meeting quite a hotshot babe in Union Station.
His little black address book in hand, the paratrooper Phi Psi and his two followers expectantly set out. Reaching one of the more hedra-摇led sections of town, the three turned into a deserted alley, up the
The night wore on, with the touring of local and lesser KC night clubs. It got later; the escorts said they'd better go. One of the women, hipping a fifth of ambrosia, agreed. Reaching the ramshackle apartment once again, the Psi started to take the girl up the steps. The babe said, "Hey, you better not; my grandma's waiting for me." The Psi, a bit abashed, said OK, and slowly walked back to the rest of the party. One of the girls remarked, "It's a good thing you didn't take Myrt home—that wasn't her grandma; that was her husband!"

Display Boards Tour Kansas Schools Showing K.U. Life
911 Mass. St.
Two display boards advertising the University of Kansas, projects of the Students Statewide Activities Commission, have partly completed their routes arranged by the county chairmen of the SSAC.
One of the boards has been displayed in Salina, Hays, and Great Bend. It was expected in Emporia by June 5, a date also chosen for a KU picnic for Emporia alumni, according to Roy Ziesenis, secretary of the KU Club of Emporia who was graduated from the School of Engineering in 1923. This board will next be sent to Abilene and then back to the Alumni Association for inspection.
The second display board has been in Smith Center and Norton. It is now in St. Francis and before returning to the Alumni Association, it will be shown in Seneca, Hiawatha, and Troy.
Photographs for the display were made by the University photographer who illustrated scenes typical of student life and work at the University. The departments represented include physical education, home economics, occupational therapy, aeronautical information, and pictures of outdoor and indoor campus activities.
