Shoe Rationing Takes New Step
The necessity for the cut in shoe rations, putting the expiration of the new shoe stamp at May first, can be traced in part to a sense of mistaken economy on the part of American women.
The new shoe stamp is Stamp No. 1 on the airplane sheet in war ration book 3 specified for use from November to May, a period of six months instead of four, and American women may develop a real need for a new pair of shoes by that time.
Since shoe rationing went into effect February 15, shoe stores have been doing rush business. For a week before a stamp expires, one risks life and limb if he enters a shoe store. With no particular need for another pair of shoes, thousands of women "don't want to waste the stamp" and buy any kind, any thing, just so it can be worn on the feet and will use up the stamp.
In the days when money was the only prerequisite for buying shoes purchases were based on need Whenever one pair wore out or fall and spring ensembles were to be arranged, most people would make the trip to the shoe store and get what they needed. Now every stamp in the family must be used up before the expiration date, and usually just before, the women think.
Men, on the whole, have not been afflicted by rationing, except as they are required to give their stamps for their wives' and daughters' use. They really don't care about shoes, just so they are comfortable and somewhat presentable. But women, using tp more and more leather, have combined with the increased military uses to outstep shoe production.
Graduate Is Army Nurse
Miss Evelyn B. Herriman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Webster of Lawrence has arrived to spend a short leave with her parents after receiving her commission as a second lieutenant in the army nurse corps. She received her training as a physio-therapist at the U.S. Army-Navy general hospital at Hot Springs, Ark., and has volunteered for immediate overseas service.
Student Book Exchange Open

Where were the KuKus with their paddles: One of those spectacles which make you sick to hear about on account of you weren't there occurred the other night when girls of 1200 Louisiana (old Pi K.A. house which is now the Corbin annex, only you mustn't call it that) forgot they were invited to a Pop-in party at Corbin major. Everybody was ready for bed when Janie Lorimer called reminding them. So they put coats on over pajamas and shuffled along the darkened streets in their bedroom slippers and hair nets.
Just sour grapes: Eddie Roy, excitable Union janitor, is mad at the navy. Eddie, according to Eddie, had just finished a super-sweep on the steps to the union ball room when the navy served fresh grapes to its sons at noon chow. The grapes were hoarded by each of several
Union terrorism: Janet Marvin became slightly hysterical when she knocked a Union coke glass off her desk in the Jayhawker office yesterday afternoon. Co-workers tried to comfort her by saying after all it was just a coke glass, but Janet continued to wall. It seems last year when she committed the same offense, some little man made her wash dishes for half an hour.

But you should see it run: Just before Toto Lulli left the hills of Oread for South America and home, he informed members of the shack gang that he had rechristened his car "Yellowstone National Park." It erupts faithfully every hour.
Summer Activities Reviewed; Semester Crowded With Events
(Editor's note: This article is a continuation of the Summer Activities Reviewed story in yesterday's paper.)
Joanne Johnson was elected president of the Union Activities Board and Dick Todd vice-president; Tennessee Club won the intramural basketball title by whipping Delta Tau Delta.
The Navy took over seven fraternity houses and one of the scholarship halls to house V+12 men - Kappa Sig, D.U., Phi Delt, Phi Gam, Beta, Sigma Nu, Phi Psi, and Templin pl.
John Sells was elected president of the ISA and Rosslyn McCampball vice-president; the $54,000 job of remodeling in Haworth hall was progressing in good shape; Chancellor Malott announced on August 16 the formation of the University of Kansas Research Foundation to promote scientific investigation and research.
The Kansan ran a feature story on August 20 about the study conditions in Watson library with the soldiers and received an avalanche of indignant and vituperative letters; the WEC conducted a poll on how women liked the summer closing hours, which were one o'clock on week-ends, 11 on Sundays and Wednesdays, and 10:30 other days
There wasn't an "overwhelming majority" in favor of the hours, so a change was made for the current term. The majority of the answers were favorable, but not "overwhelmingly" so.
The ASC started a campaign to encourage the sale of activity tickets to V-12 men; Lt. Col. Watson L. McMorris, commander of the ROTC coast artillery unit at Kansas State, was appointed acting commandant of all K.U. army units, succeeding Col. William C. Washington.
Miss Edna Teeter resigned Sept. 1 from the staff of the Registrar's office, ending 18 years of service at the University; it was announced that the new military science building would be completed by Nov. 1; Prof. Russell L. Wiley started working out a system whereby V-12 men would be enabled to play in the University band.
The speed limit on the campus was reduced to 15 miles per hour because of marching formations; and the College office released the names of students on the honor roll for 1942-43.
