Hambro to Give Speech in May

Jayhawker Presents University Life; Army, Navy, Civilian
The large picture of Ann Boltz, Fine Arts junior, walking down the campus with V-12 Bob Elbel and ASTP George Bushnell which appears on the cover of the new Jayhawker seems to typify the entire issue of the magazine which came out on the campus this week. Army, Navy, and civilian factions on the campus are all portrayed in this second part of the University annual.
The most widely commented upon feature in the entire magazine is the innovation of candidis on the sorority, and fraternity pages. Already student approval of this feature has practically insured its place in the Jayhawker of years to come.
Sue Digg's story on Homecoming recalls all the thrills of that memorable week-end to the student's mind. Bob Bock reviews the football season and makes a running start on the basketball season, which was not yet complete when the magazine went to the printers.
Heading the writers whose works appears in the magazine is David Battenfeld, author of a thoughtful editorial on the four freedoms.
The excellent candid photography in the magazine is the work of photographers Don Crawford. Chas. Fisher, Jason Dixon, and Les Wagner.
Other stories which are wellworth reading include V-12 Jerry Widgen's tribute to the non-coms, Pat Penny's explanation of the Board of Regents and Virginia Gunsolly's clever report of the social season.

Students should make their individual contributions in my office or to the CVC members."

Booths, Dancing To Be Featured In Hoch Carnival
Mr. Stringer has been a big success with the servicemen at the USO in Kansas City and has been requested to tour the country for the USO this summer, playing at the different centers throughout the United States.
The Union Activities committee, working in co-operation with the YWCA, will hold a carnival from 8:30 to 12 p.m. Saturday in Hoch auditorium to raise funds for the student scholarship and post war funds. The carnival will feature booths around the outside of the auditorium, and dancing to the music of Dean Stringer, and his Deans of Music from Kansas City.
All the organized houses have been asked to set up booths for the carnival. Wallace Grimes will be in charge of these booths. There will be penny-pitching, fortune-telling, and ball-throwing at milk bottles. The whole idea will be very much like the Pumpkin Pron of last year.
Surprises Are in Store
"Some of the houses have been very secretive about their booths," announced Eugenia Hepworth, social chairman of the Union Activities committee, "so there are some surprises for those attending."
The carnival is to be a sweater and skirt affair. It has been announced that students can attend stag or drag. Girls are welcome to attend stag. Those who are working in the booths will be admitted free.
Persons in charge of the booths may begin setting them up at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow. They must be taken down by 9 a.m. Sunday. All the women's organized houses and most of the fraternities have turned in ideas for booths. Those who have not done so should turn in their ideas to Mary Nettles immediately.

Jane Atwood, freshman, chair-
man; Eugenia Hepworth, sophomore;
