Bless the teachers who hold classes outside on these days! Even a quiz is bearable then . . . Coler Hissem. Delt, has suddenly become quite a favorite with boys and girls alike. The reason? Oh, he just returned from Wichita Sunday with a car.
Someone remarked to Frank Rush, ATO, that he certainly had a dark tan. "This is nothing," replied Frank, "Why, some summers I'm almost black. In fact, I have been troubled [with little Mexican kids coming up and sitting on my lap."
One of the girls in Professor Ashton's Shakespeare class yesterday was having a little trouble with some drum sticks. Suddenly they bounced off on the floor. Dr. Ashton was talking quite calmly about "The Tragedy of King Lear." Just as calmly he remarked without a pause, "Don't start throwing things yet, we're just beginning."
It was suggested that one of the extra duties for the V-12 (if they need any) would be to cut the lawn at Corbin hall. There have been so many complaints about chiggers!
Jack Jarvis, Sigma Nu, has been troubled with his dates going home on the week-end. "This week," Jarvis warns, "I'm the one that's going home."
Guest columnist next Tuesday will be Don Cousins. That is, I think he will be.
PT-3 has adopted three little birds that fell down their chimney last week. The boys are taking the best of care of them, but their health is failing rapidly. Maybe they're trying to develop carrier pigeons.
By the way, Irwin Mintz. V-12,
would really like to have his slide
rule returned, if anyone found it at
the Union Wednesday. You just
can't get them anymore!
Smith-Catlett Wed In Neodesha
Dorothy Catlett and Dale Smith, both of Neodesha, were married Saturday night at the Christian church in Neodesha. Dorothy was a freshman in the College last year and a member of Alpha Chi Omega. Mr. Smith was a senior here last year and is now studying medicine in Kansas City. He was a member of Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Beta Kappa. They are living at 3721 Wyoming, Kansas City.
Students in the summer session who attended the wedding and assisted at the reception following are Barbara Barnjum, Katie Beowits. Frances Nelson, Margaret Fesler, Betty Dell Mills, and Leonard Robison, who was best man.
Prof. John W. Ashton of the English department has just returned this week from a Western Folklore Conference held at Denver University from July 14 to 17. Professor Ashton represented the American Folklore Society at the conference. The field of folklore research was outlined and analyzed by members of the conference. They also discussed folk manners and customs,
Alumni Have Rank Of General
Five generals have been found among the lists of the University of Kansas alumni and the Alumni Association is looking for more. If anyone knows of others, the report of them will be gladly hailed and properly set up in the records, according to Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association.
Number one is Major General Ennis Whitehead, class of '20, who is second in command of the air forces in the Southwest Pacific area and personally has charge of operations for the advanced echelon in the New Guinea sector. Mrs. Whitehead, the former Mary Nicholson, who was graduated in 1918, and their daughter, Margaret, class of '42, are also alumni. Mrs. Whitehead and a high school-age son, Ennis, Jr., live in Kansas City now. General Whitehead is a Coffey county boy.
Marcellus L. Stockton, who was cut a few hours short of graduation by World War I in 1917, is a Brigadier General on the headquarters staff of the Northwest U. S. Sector at Ft. Lewis, Wash. He married Marie Buchanan of the class of 1918. General Stockton also entered the University from Coffey county.
Another Jayhawker wearing stars is Ward H. Maris, a former student with the class of 1914. He is commanding general of artillery in the 95th Division.
Bridadier General (retired) M. A. W. Shockley attended school on the Lawrence campus in 1892-93 and was graduated in 1898 from the Kansas City Medical College, which was later absorbed by the K.U. Medical School and its alumni included with the others. General Shockley was in the Medical Corps. When retired he was Assistant Surgeon General.
Latest to reach the rank is Julius Holmes, who went away for army duty and training and diplomatic service just before graduation with the class of 1923. His nomination for Bridadier General has just been sent to the Senate. He is on the staff of the Allied headquarters in Africa and was on the advance mission to gave the way for the American landing in Africa last fall. Mrs. Holmes is the former Henrietta Allen—she was a student with the class of '25, and is the daughter of Senator and Mrs. Henry Allen of Wichita. General Holmes grew up in Pleasanton and later lived in Lawrence.

David Boylan, Kansas City, is a member of the engineering staff of the General Chemical company, Haddonfield, N. J.

Frank L. Hopkins of New York City, formerly a special political correspondent on the New York World, came Saturday to spend a few days with his uncle, Dr. Edwin M. Hopkins, who taught English in Kansas University from 1889 until 1937.
Frank Hopkins Visits Uncle In Lawrence
Mr. Hopkins, accompanied by Dr. Hopkins, visited the Journalism building Saturday afternoon. He said the newsroom was typical of all newsrooms. He looked with much interest at the portrait of his uncle that hangs on the east wall of the news room in the Journalism building. Dr. Hopkins was the first teacher of journalism in the University and established the University Kansan as a regular newspaper.
Frank L. Hopkins visited in Lawrence in 1920 when he was traveling with James M. Cox in the latter's campaign for the presidency of the United States. In 1924 he was a correspondent for the New York World and traveled with John W. Davis.
Mr. Hopkins was on his way home after a visit with his son, Lt Frank P. Hopkins, and Mrs. Hopkins, in Dallas, Texas.
New Display Up In Spooner-Thayer
About fifty prints of landscapes, scenes, and portraits by Chicago artists, were put up this week in the south gallery in Spooner-Thayer museum.
Miss Minnie Moodie, curator, explained she selected the 50 from a gift of 250 to the University from the discontinued W.P.A. art projects in Chicago.
"The prints are well done, and some are by fairly well known artists," said Miss Moodie.
The Morgan collection of 30 sketches, 20 in pastel colors and 10 in black and white, will be up in the north gallery until the end of the month.
Prof. Charles L. Morgan, of the School of Architecture, made the sketches during the summer of 1926 when he made a trip to Europe and visited Spain, France, and England.
A remarkable thing about the sketches is that it required no more than a brief 30 minutes of the artist's time to complete many of them.
Over 18,000,000 pairs of ladies' silk and nylon hose, weighing 445 tons, have been turned in to the Government.
(continued from page one) throughout the hour and a half program. She spoke in a pleasing and audible voice with an enthusiasm which was conveyed to her listeners. Mrs. Baker and her husband have traveled extensively in Australia, and she has lived in 85 foreign countries. Many of the pictures shown were taken by her and her husband on their trip across Australia.
AUSTRALIA---ple. "They, like we, are people of action. Their wants are similar to ours—their want for freedom of religion, a living wage, their want to own their own homes, and to spend their money and leisure as they please.
For All Occasions RIDE THE BUS
"The Australian people were not asleep at the outbreak of war in the Pacific. They were wide awake and on their feet. There was nothing diplomatic about their demand for help from the United States. They wanted action, and their motto has become 'work, fight, or perish,'" said Mrs. Baker.
"I do not think Japan is beaten yet. The Japanese have been preparing for this war for many years, and they aren't ready to give up. I think we have a long way to go with them," said Mrs. Baker after mentioning the victories of the Allies in the Pacific.
The Rapid Transit
Somewhat startling to the audience was the fifth column movement of the Japanese in Australia, spoken of by Mrs. Baker. Japanese agents brought to Australia on fishing boats have been sounding out the coast of Australia for the past 25 to 35 years. The Japanese probably know more about the Australian coastline than do the Australians, Mrs. Baker said.
Co.
"The Australians are more akin to us in spirit than any other people in the world," said Mrs. Baker in comparing us with the Australian people. "They, like we, are people of action. Their wants are similar to ours—their want for freedom of religion, a living wage, their want to own their own homes, and to spend their money and leisure as they please.
Your Local Bus Service
"The Australians place great emphasis on sports. They are free and easy people with a 'Johnnie's as good as his master' attitude. They play their sports hard and clean," Mrs. Baker stated with determination.
The remarkable conversion of Australia's resources into wartime materials in the last several years serves to illustrate the spirit of the Australian people, the speaker said.
The films presented gave a comprehensive picture of Australia's wheat industry, forests, gold mines, dairy and cattle industries and how they have been adapted to wartime industry by the seven million people of Australia. They gave the audience a view of Australian people, country, and industry. The picturesque animals of Australia, particularly the kangaroo, added color to the lecture.
