A Young Friend Pays Tribute to William Allen White
The following editorial was written by Virginia Gunsolly, former member of the staff of the Emporia Gazette and close personal friend of Mr. White.
William Allen White now sleeps peacefully beside his beloved daughter, Mary. In her memory Mr. White wrote his editorial which has become a classic—"Mary White." These two now have been reunited in that beautiful world to which we all must go and from which none returns.
The funeral services Monday were just as he would have wished—simple and unpretentious. Had Mr. White been watching his own services, he would have summoned his most amused smile and immediately his round, bright eyes would have lighted with that ever present twinkle. It would seem incomprehensible to him that so many hundreds of people would journey from all parts of the country to bid him a last farewell.
The entire service was utterly lacking in show. This lack of ceremonious rites was inconspicuous, because it was so typically William Allen White. Not a flower decorated the entire chapel. The only semblance of decoration was the symbolic spray which had so recently proclaimed to passers-by the message that no words could convey and now lay atop the casket. This spray was not large, nor was it composed of flowers; but it was heart-rending in its simplicity. Just sprigs of spruce tied with a simple purple ribbon. That was all.
A profusion of flowers decorate the cemetery. Flowers, were reduced to second place, however, by the extent of damp handkerchiefs and swollen eyes. As a Welsh choir sang the same song in Welsh as had been sung at Mary's funeral 23 years ago, Emporians and others began to experience the real impact of the sorrow which had befallen them. It is tragically difficult to face the realization that we have lost one of the greatest men of our times; and it will be increasingly difficult as time goes by and we need his able influence and guidance upon which we have come so whole-heartedly to depend.
For many people, the spirit of Mr White will live on in the sweet, tender figure of his wife, Sallie. Leaning heavily for moral support upon their son, Bill, Sallie White presented a picture of strength and a will of iron as she stood at the grave of her departed husband and struggled valiantly and successfully to retain her composure. William Allen White and Sallie White were one in thought, in mind, and in spirit. In her, he will continue to live and shed his influence.
The sun shone gently above the horizon as the still, breathless body of him who loved all people was laid quietly to rest beside his daughter.

Naturally delicate: Will Allen, Phi Bet medic, finally got the rubber bulb of his hunger contraction apparatus swallowed and he stood victoriously in Hayworth lab with a rubber tube dangling out of his mouth. It had made him a little weak however, and he decided to get some air before going on with the experiment. Just as he got out of the door, roll of rubber tubing in hand, the whistle blew. The between classes crowd eyed him with curiosity, and began gathering around expectantly. At last, when the crowd was at its height, he parted ways with his breakfast.

The boys probably weren't so bashful: Virginia Lee Thompson and Lolly O'Leary were disturbed around 2:30 o'clock in the morning by a rattle on their window and a clanking on the fire escape. The girls jumped out of bed and ran, scared to look out. Tracks discovered the next morning identified the would-be third-floor callers with members of a "high" serenade—who after singing to the girls earlier in the
George Hood Writes Article for Digest
"Perspective drawings," explained professor Hood, "are an aid to both skilled and unskilled workers in production and on the assembly lines. They also help the technically trained engineer to visualize more clearly the design.
"The method is universally applicable and should prove useful in many field of design and construction," professor Hood said.
George J. Hood, professor of engineering drawing, wrote an article on "Perspective Drawings by Photographing Sectional Views" which appeared in a recent issue of the Aero Digest, an aeronautics magazine.
Rosenfield Visits Campus After South Pacific Duty
The plan described and illustrated in the article is a simple means of making perspective drawings by photographing sections of airplanes or other structures.

Richard J. Rosenfield, seaman in the navy and a student at the University in '41-42, visited on the campus recently. Seaman Rosen field, who is a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, visited at the house. He also visited with Henry Shenk, football coach.
Seaman Rosenfield arrived at his home in Junction City unexpectedly last week after having seen action at Bougainville and Guadalcanal. He surprised his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Rosenfield, and brother Bob, at 4:30 a.m. They did not know that he was in this country. Seaman Rosenfield, who has a 25-day furlough, was accompanied by his brother Bob, on his visit to Lawrence.

evening, had evidently become more ambitious.
And for once he hadn't been drinking: For several weeks Betty (who is still afraid to reveal her entire identity) and an ASTP wrote letters back and forth on the desk which they both occupied in successive morning classes. Then came the note saying that the ASTP would like to meet Betty. The arrangements took several days of more extensive epistles, but finally everything was settled. Betty was tall and dark and would be sitting in the periodical room of the library in a pair of red anklets. At the last minute, however, the feminine element weakened. Scared to keep the rendezvous alone, she bribed every tall, dark girl in Watkins hall to put on red socks and accompany her. There were six of them all together lounging around, reading newspapers, and calling each other Betty when the ASTP arrived. Betty's attack of cold feet continued and the shaken soldier left the room alone after a nervous five minutes. The note writing has not been renewed.
