Coeds Again Fear Loss of K.U. Males
When we entered the war in 1941, one of the first thoughts of University coeds was that college wasn't going to be the same old place with all the men leaving. It looked as though K.U. was to become a girls' school completely.
Fraternity men began to worry about keeping their large houses open and wondered where they were going to get the men to keep a portion of the rooms filled. As time and the draft went on, it seemed that there would not be enough men left on Mt. Oread to keep even one fraternity house filled.
Then the army and navy came to the rescue. They contracted to use the University's educational facilities and the houses of the fraternal organizations to teach and to house their trainees. Women students collectively gave a sigh of relief at the news. The fraternity men remaining also took heart.
This has been the happy situation for almost a year now. But the same problems are arising anew. The battle front is becoming more demanding than the educational front, and the army and navy are pulling out their trainees.
The University's first big wartime manpower decrease came when several hundred ASTPs left in March. Last week 75 army and navy medics went to Kansas City, leaving two empty houses. The V-12 units will retain a full quota of 490 men during the summer session, but may suffer much as a 25 per cent reduction next November.
The present group of Naval Air Cadets is the last of that branch that will be trained here. There are now some 57 cadets stationed at the University, The C.A.A.-W.T.S. program, under which these cadets are being taught, will be ended during the first two weeks in August. This move will leave the Phi Psi and Triangle houses empty.
By next fall, women will again far outnumber the men on the campus, barring some unforeseen development. K.U. will then, in truth, become a woman's world.
But what is a woman's world without men?—K.G.
Geologists to Speak On KFKU Roundtable
"Little Known Mineral Resources of Kansas" will be discussed by four Kansas geologists at 9:30 o'clock this evening on KFKU's University of Kansas Roundtable. This will be the last of the discussion series entitled "Underground Mineral Resources of Kansas." John C. Frye, assistant state geologist, acted as chairman of the series.

Lt. Torgeson Missing
In Action Over Germany
Second Lt. Harold Wayne Torgenson, a student in chemical engineering for two years at the University, has been reported missing in action over Germany since March 8, according to word received by his father, H. J. Torgerson of Olathe, from the War Department.
Torgeson entered the army a year ago last January and was serving as a bombardier in the air corps.
Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Reformation—The Rev. Edwin F. Price believes he has at last found proof of the power of his sermons—or something. On a recent morning Dr. Price opened his front door to find a note, held in the mouth of a bottle of somewhat shady character, awaiting him. The communication read:
Dear Dr. Price:
We are three engineers on the hill who in the past have been devoted to drinking and other sinful practices. However, we have given all this up, including drinking, and want to give you this token as a sign that we have drunk our last of intoxicants.
(signed) Lewis Harry John
Dr. Price was properly impressed,
and hopes on the next confession
the sinners will add — their last
names.
--the words of the German professor himself:
It's O.K. Girls — Rumors are a dangerous thing. Especially in wartime, it is the patriotic duty of every good American to put down each and every rumor he hears. We therefore take this opportunity to debunk one we heard recently. In
Miss Johnston, who performed the same feat Tuesday night with only a meger light permitted to fall on the pages in the darkened room, discovered that the re-appearance of each actor co-incided with the
With the huge piano score, which was sent out with the film, propped up before her, Miss Johnston sat in the orchestra pit below the stage of Fraser theater and craned her neck up at the picture which was being shown almost directly above her head. She was assisted by Joy Miller, chairman of the Forums Board, who turned pages for her and also read aloud the titles, explaining the action following so that the accompaniment and the story would be synchronized. Sudden jumps of half a page at a time or slowly drawn-out passages with frequent blank pauses were occasionally necessary to permit the action to catch up with the corresponding music or vice versa.
Disregarding the possibility of a permanent neck deformity, Anna Mae Johnston, College freshman, doggedly plowed through three and a half hours of steady piano-playing last night in order to provide an appropriate musical background for the thrilling and tender episodes in "Birth of a Nation."
"Sam Anderson is not married!"
In the words of one of his (more attractive) students;
"Whew, that's a relief!"
Corbin Kiddies — Second childhood overtook the barefoot inmates of Corbin hall Monday night with a siege of Hide-and-Seek, Run Sheep Run, and Statues. After Harriet Davis had been chosen the most graceful, and Mary Forsyth the most repulsive of the entries in the latter game, interest shifted to Truth and Dare — and the consequences were overwhelming.
After five minutes of play, Dixie Williams was sitting on a fire plug yelling like Tarzan, and Jean Nelson had stopped a car in front of Corbin to ask the driver where Corbin hall was. But Ruth Krehbiel added the final touch, when she called Vernon Smoots, Triangle, to tell him she had hidden her mad love for him for years.
Her Music Is Movie's Background
Did Smoots fall for it? Corbinites wink an affirmative. It seems he called Tuesday night for a second helping and to all appearances is about ready to pop the question by now.
Poppies Sold Tomorrow To Aid Rehabilitation Work
Tomorrow is Poppy Day in Lawrence. The memorial poppies in honor of the men who died in the battles of World War I and II will be available then through -the American Legion Auxiliary and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary.
The money that is given goes for rehabilitation work among the veterans. The idea of the nation wide sale of the poppy was first developed in 1921.
Edward F. Sullivan Is Sick

He is expected back at work within a few days.

Feminine Influence or Leap Year Hint?
Semimoles Least Europeanized
It may be just feminine influence since co-eds took over the management of the Westminster college student bookstore, and again it might be intended as a gentle Leap Year hint to army and navy cadets on the campus. But observers are doubting that it was accidental when a biology textbook titled "Man" was displayed next to another called "Animals Without Backbones." Co-ed bookstore managers are noncommittal.
ject, "Methodists Take Stock."
The Seminoles are said to be the least Europeanized of any American Indians.
ject, "Methodists Take Stock." At the First Christian church, Harold G. Barr, minister, will discuss "Stars in a Dark World," at the 10:45 morning services.
