Record Yank Air Attack Smashes Rabaul
(International News Service)
Firm new bridgeheads were established by Allies in the north bank of the Volturno river today, throwing the spotlight of attention back to Europe following completion of the heaviest air attack ever launched on a Japanese base in the Pacific.
Troops of Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark's U. S. fifth army swept across the last great natural barrier to Rome today and forces of the British eighth army forged steadily ahead on their sector to the east
Communique Is Enthusiastic
No communique issued by General MacArthur has ever been so enthusiastic as the one which told of the attack which overwhelmed Rabaul. The 177 enemy planes put out of action represented 60 per cent of Japan's strength in this area. In addition, the American fliers sank at least 17,600 tons of ships, including three destroyers and three merchant vessels.
In addition, they severely damaged a submarine, its 5,000-ton tender, 6,800-ton destroyer tender, and a 7,000-ton freighter.

Negro Sorority Organizes,Has Own House
NUMBER 15
By Maxine Crawford
The only Negro sorority which operates a house here at the University is the Zeta Fhi Beta. The Beta Gamma chapter, organized May 9, 1943, opened its house at 1101 Mississippi at the beginning of rush week this year.
The seven charter members of the Beta Gamma chapter of Zeta Phi Beta shown above are: Betty Lou Bowers, Willa Maude Robinson, Verdaine Sanders, Gloria Jackson, Annie Henderson, Lionall Adams, and Eleanor Logan. Evelyn Searcy, a graduate student of the sociology department in 1933, is the housemother, and Louvonia Jackson, graduate of Kansas State, is the assistant housemother.
Two other Negro sororities, Delta Sigma Theta and Alpha Kappa Alpha, have members attending the University, but they do not have houses. At one time the AKA operated a house at 1701 Ohio, the home of their housemother at that time, Mrs. Albert L. Mason. Mrs. Mason's home was opened to these women in 1933 but it was discontinued in 1939.

Hall Named For Foster, Registrar
When the late George O. Foster came to the University of Kansas, a young man of 20 years, in October, 1891, he found a barren hill with four buildings and a student population of 474. Today one of the women's residence halls bears his name.
Located at 1200 Louisiana street, the house has been officially named Foster hall, with the approval of the state board of regents. Mr. Foster served the University for 52 years, 44 of which he was registrar, serving under Chancellors Snow, Spangler, Strong, Lindley, and the present Deane W. Malott. For the first six years Mr. Foster was a clerk and stenographer, in the office.
An interesting parallel is the request in 1918 that he serve as the assistant director for the Student Army Training corps to aid in supervising the work and course of study for the student Army Training
A member of the Acacia fraternity, Mr. Foster was a 33rd degree Mason, and taught the same Sunday school class of the Christian Church for 24 years.

Machinist's Mates Win Bond Pennant; Invest 10 Per Cent
The Secretary of Navy's pennant is flying beneath the ensign on the machinist's mates training school flagstaff today. The pennant, denoting excellence for the training school, is awarded to those establishments who have at least 90 per cent of their entire personnel giving 10 per cent of their pay to war bonds.
Lt. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer, commended the men highly for the record they attained, pointing out that it shows real sacrifice on the men's part because their average pay is $54, and from this they must also pay insurance and family allowance allotments. "The men are 100 per cent behind the war effort." Lieutenant Buhl said.
Officers, enlisted personnel, and civilian personnel attached to the school were also included in the final report of the war bond drive.
