Sunshine Greets Dandelion Day Despite Forecast
A bright sun shining continuously this morning reassured Dandelion Day officials who have been reading with apprehension, reports for showers this afternoon. Apparently, the weather, will cooperate with the Jay Janes when their University dig begins at 4:30 afternoon.
In case of a sudden shower, however, Betty Jo O'Neal, chairman of the day, has announced, the all-University picnic will be held in Robinson gymnasium and the street dance will be held in Hoch auditorium.
Miss O'Neal said she believed students were meeting with success in finding their own digging implements for the afternoon and evening siege on the campus pests. She expressed her regret that the planning committee found it impossible to provide implements for everyone.
Menu for Picnic
The picnic menu will include sandwiches, potato chips, apples, and a drink, Miss O'Neal said. The sandwiches, potato chips, and apples are being provided by women's houses. Members of the Jay Janes are handling a drink and ice cream concession with Emily Hollis as chairman.
According to Miss O'Neal, the picnic will be buffet style in Fowler Grove. It should, begin about 6 o'clock. After they eat, students are expected to continue digging.
Insuring almost one hundred per cent attendance of students at the picnic, no meals will be served this evening in most organized women's houses, and V-12 members have been excused from their evening meal at the Memorial Union building.
The street dance, for which Roger Muir and his 12-piece dance band will play, will be held in front of Blake hall instead of in front of Watson Library as previously announced. The dance will begin at 8:30.

Turney Makes Study Of Guidance Bureau
Prof. A. H. Turney of the School of Education returned Sunday from Minneapolis, Minn., where he conferred for three days with the staff of the Student Counciling Bureau at the University of Minnesota in an effort to obtain suggestions and ideas for a guidance bureau that will soon be set up at the University.
Professor Turney said the University of Minnesota has one of the most carefully organized and extensive student personnel services of any he knows. Since 1932, when the bureau was adopted, the student personnel service helped many students in their personal and scholastic problems. The bureau administers tests to every high school senior in Minnesota, and helps the students decide what he wants to do before he enrolls in college.
The guidance bureau to be established at the University sometime soon will be directed by Professor Turney and will do much of the same kind of work as that done at the University of Minnesota. Although there are not many such bureaus in the United States, said Professor Turney, more are being organized as their need is realized.
Senior announcements and greeting cards should be purchased in the College business office before Friday, May 19, Don Atchison, member of the invitations committee, has announced.

ASC Resolves
A Special Resolution:
A Special Resolution:
Whereas: There are on the campus a large number of members of the Armed Forces of the United States who desire to play what part they are able in the activities of student government, and
Whereas: They constitute a large and influential organized group, unable to obtain representation on the All Student Council in any other manner.
Be it therefore resolved by the Associated Students of the University of Kansas:
No Court Ruling Since Ward CIO
That: (1) The list of organized groups on the All Student Council shall read: Men's Dorm Council, Women's Dorm Council, YWCA YMCA, Student Housing Association, Negro Student Association, Jay James, Pan-Hellenic Council, Armed Forces.
And that: (2) These two representatives from the armed forces shall be elected at a special election at the time of the general election by their regularly enrolled members voting in accordance with such provisions of Bill No. II as may be determined applicable by the Elections Committee.
Chicago, (INS)—The widely disputed question of the government's legal authority for the seizure of Montgomery Ward and Company remained unanswered today as federal judge William H. Holly refused to rule on an injunction following return of the mail order firm to company hands.
"There is nothing for me to decide," said Holly, in view of the government's withdrawal from the plant after the CIO union involved decisively won a collective bargaining election among Ward employees
Sewell L. Avery, 69-year-old board chairman of Wards, declared "The election doesn't mean a thing." He said the company would still fight a maintenance of membership clause for a new or continued contract with the union.
In Washington the chairman of the house and senate committees investigating government seizure said that release of the mail order firm from federal rule will have no effect on their inquiries.
New Stamp to Commemorate First Telephone Message

A resolution granting the armed forces of the University two elected representatives on the All-Student Council was presented by members of PWCL and PSGL and passed at a special meeting of the All-Student Council at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
According to its provisions, the armed forces will elect two men from their group to sit on the council at the time of the regular All-Student Council election on May 25. All regularly enrolled members of the armed forces will vote for the representatives.
The resolution is the first official action which has been taken all year to grant members of the armed forces of the University an active part in student government.
Said Peggy Davis, President of the All-Student Council, "The Council's action indicates, I believe, its willingness to cooperate to the greatest extent with the army and navy. The Council recognizes the desirability of having, as members, representatives of the armed forces. It is not willing, however, to permit the armed forces to be used as a political football in the coming election."
"The council's action," said Miss Davis, "is expected to meet the requests of petitions circulated on the campus this morning by members of the navy program, asking for recognition of service men in student government."
Council Apportions Representatives
The apportionment of representatives from the various schools of the University and polling places for the election on May 25 were announced by the elections committee at a meeting of the All-Student Council in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building last night.

Two men will be elected from District II, the School of Engineering and Architecture; three women will be elected from District III which includes the School of Fine Arts, Education, Pharmacy, and Business and the Graduate School; and one man will be elected from District IV, the Schools of Law and Medicine.
