White-Clad V-12s Stand Out at Night
Quite a little has been said about the University of Kansas in wartime spring, but, as with all great subjects, there is a lot more that has been going unsaid.
Ordinarily students live through a winter of blasting wind, snow and ice atop Mt. Oread just to frolic throughout the months of May and June. As any alumn will tell you, it's well worth five months of icy hell to be able to spread a blanket on Wakarusa creek about the middle of May or to walk a date around Potter lake at commencement time.
K. U.'s adopted students, those army and navy trainees who came to the University under the auspices of the government and who are not native Kansans, are keeping the ball of tradition rolling; that is, we mean to say, they too are enjoying the fries on the banks of the Wakarusa and especially moonlight walks around Potter.
Although the army trainees' summer uniforms blend fairly well with the dusky landscape of the grove surrounding the University lake at night, the sailors in their white middies stand out like so many ghosts hauming the place.
Since the time of the V-12 traineer is somewhat limited for such social activities and all of them are out on the same nights, when one ghost-like figure can be found strolling the grove, there are at least two dozen more in the vicinity. It appears to be not just one ghost there, but a glorious reunion of a family of them.
This is certainly no plea that the V-12ers stop dating in the grove and about the lake-far from it. But, no kidding, guys, we wish you'd blend more with the scenery when you do take that moonlight stroll. No telling whom you're liable to scare to death some dark night.
Law School Supplies Material for Journal
The prize winning paper of Thomas "Sam" Freeman, recently killed in action in New Guinea, is featured in the current issue of the Kansas Bar Journal. F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, had the article, "The Copyright as Security," reprinted by special permission secured from the Nathan Burkan Competition.
All of the material for this issue of the bar journal, with the exception of eight pages, was supplied by the University of Kansas Law School. Among the articles is "Kansas Annotations to the Restatement of the Law of Torts" (sections 281-296 inclusive) by Dean F. J. Moreau
Appearing also in this issue are case comments by John Anderson, Jr., Herbert J. Peterson, and John Scurlock, second year law students. Kipp Gimple contributed to "Case Notes."
Outstanding as a student, S/Sgt Freeman won the $100 prize on his law paper in 1942, the year in which he was graduated. He was admitted to the Kansas Bar and practiced in Kansas City, Mo. As a fortress gunner, he failed to return from a mission in New Guinea last November. Word of his death was received a few days ago.
Buildings Given in 1937

Major Operation—We're sure the fact that Herington's baseball team beat K. U. by a rather wide margin had nothing to do with it, but Ed Woolcott, PT-3, wended his weary way home from the game with the Naval base Tuesday with a cut and bleeding head. Although he pleaded to Navy brothers that he "just hit it on a locker, really," the fleet decided they would have to operate. In preparation one PT-3an brought forth a bright and shining scalpel. It might have been delirium; it might have been fear; but, whatever, Ed took one look and yelled, "You're not going to use that shrapnel on me!"
Watch Your Diction. Please—The Dramatics Workshop picnic Tuesday night was a calm and peaceful affair mainly, with one marked exception involving Bobbie Sue McCluggage and Maxine Kelley, Gamma Phis, and the club sponsor, Prof. Allen Crafton. Bobbie Sue and Maxine attended in identical shorts, which

Developing rapidly, 195,000 telegrams were sent in the United States in 1940, making them first in "telegram production." Japan rates second for the same period with 68,475, and England has 59,484, to mark third place. "Congratulations" are taboo on telegrams today in the conservation effort as telegrams have become more and more essential as a means of war-time communication. Wiring furlough time, change of orders, and various military "info" keeps the telegraph men "on the run" day and night.
One hundred candles went on the birthday cake Wednesday of the electromagnetic recording telegraph, the brain child of Samuel Finley Breese Morse, better known as "Sam" Morse.
The first K Book appeared in the fall of 1891 as the "Student Handbook" and originated under the YMCA. It contained information on the YMCA, University events, Lawrence, professors, and blank pages.
May 24, 1844 was a very special day for this occasion because that was when the telegraph constructed from Baltimore to Washington, D. C. was used for the first time. Morse was 53 years old when his invention was first used, after more than ten years of working and experimenting.
Centenarian Telegraph Takes a Bow
The inventor of this devise was an artist for the first 41 years of his life. He had been graduated from Yale and had travelled to Europe and England. "Sam" Morse was also one of the founders of the National Academy of Design and was its first president.

led quite naturally to a little "dramatic" tearing. Said the sponsor, "Well, they belong to the same lodge, and it molds them."
Arising to the occasion with a ham sandwich (Ed. note: Miss McCluggage's selection of a blunt instrument to be used at a drama picnic is believed to show great foresight). Bobbie Sue started at the professor. Cornering him, she asked, "Now what was that remark again?" Mr. Crafton repeated his statement.
"Oh," said the startled and retreating Bobbie Sue. "I thought you said 'it was moldy'."
And where did you get your information, professor?
P. S. — Wally Grimes, featured in yesterday's column, adds the final note in the Grimes-VanderWerf debate. According to the victim himself, he went to his professor after the noteworthy lecture, and asked him for the source of the information. "Well," said VanderWerf, "you know they say it takes a thief to catch a thief."
Child's Body Found in River After Three Day's Search

Scholarships Given By Pi Lambda Theta To Future Teachers
Hoping to encourage students to enter the teaching profession and thus relieve the Kansas shortage of 2,500 qualified teachers, members of Pi Lambda Theta, women's honorary education society, voted last evening to grant two $50 scholarships for prospective teachers who will study at the University in training for the profession.
Scholarships will be turned over to the University committee on aids and awards of which Assistant Dean John H. Nelson of the Graduate School is chairman. Details of qualifications for applicants for the scholarships will be established by the general committee. The president of Pi Lambda Theta, Miss Martha Peterson, instructor in mathematics, announced that the organization hopes to establish two more such scholarships for use next year.
