Calendars Of Fall Term Out Soon
1 The University calendar of registration, enrollment, and class work for next fall and winter has been sent to the printers and copies will be available to students at some time in the near future, according to Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, yesterday.
The calendar was established at a meeting of the University Senate several weeks ago, when it was decided to set back the regular winter semester until Nov. 1, in order that all schools of the University would be running concurrently.
A 12 day, perhaps 13 day for some students. Christmas vacation is scheduled on the new calendar. Finals for the winter term will take four days and will be ended on March 1. The Spring semester will start on March 8, and will end on June 27.
The fall term, or "5-week" session, will begin on Sept. 28, with freshman orientation week preceding that date. Finals for the fall term will be given on Oct. 29, with freshman and new student psychological and aptitude examinations following on the next day, which is Saturday. Registration and enrollment begin the following Monday, with as little loss of time as possible.

Southernaires Sang In Hoch Last Evening
A program featuring Negro spiritfuls, hymns, slave songs, and light classics presented last evening in Hoeh auditorium by the Southernaires, well-known Negro male quartet, was enthusiastically acclaimed by the largest audience to attend a
concert in the summer session.
The quartet is composed of William Edmonson, bass; Ray Yeates, tenor; Jay Stone Toney, baritone; and Lowell Peters, tenor. The accompanist and arranger for the four-some is Spencer Odom.
As their name implies, the Southernaires are true sons of the South, singing melodies of their native soil in the traditional manner with an artistry that has seldom been equaled. The fine accompaniment of their pianist, Mr. Odom, created an excellent background for their perfect harmony.
The quartet, melodiously blending their voices as one, captured the attention of their listeners from the first with excerpts from "Hiwatha's Wedding Feast" by Coleridge-Taylor. This was immediately followed by "Lift Thine Eyes" by Logan.
Their second group of selections was one composed of traditional (continued to page tour)

Whither Our Money; Ask KU Students
By Paula Reeve
"Oh, where, oh where has my money gone?" has become the theme song of many students on our campus who want to know just why they have to pay so much for an activity fee and just where their money goes after it leaves their pockets.
All-Student Council members are constantly approached by some belligerent student demanding an explanation to the above and asking why the Council doesn't "do something" about it. And here is the answer:
The Board of Regents fixes the price of the activity tickets, taking into consideration the needs of various campus organizations partially supported by allocations from the activity fee.
Business office records for the fall semester of 1942 and the spring semester of 1943 show that the $9.24 fall activity fee and the $5.90 spring

At a party arranged and given by Miss Sara Peter's 9:30 elementary German class last week in the German department on the third floor of Fraser hall, Miss Peters told the story of the German opera, "Tannhauser," after which the opera was played on the phonograph.
It was an evening of German music with Miss Peters, telling about German operas, showing a few opera programs to the group and explaining them. Also the group joined in the singing of several well known German songs, among these "Ach du lieber Augustin." Some of the students also gave special musical numbers, one being the famous "Filgrim's Chorus."
German Class Has Party In Fraser
Miss Peter's 1:30 class and Mr Sam Anderson's elementary German class were also invited, and all in all it was an interesting musical "get together" which was enjoyed by all, state members of the class. To top off the evening refreshments were served.

Uniforms For V-12's Arriving
By Dolores Sulzman
By Dolores Suzumai
Just arrived!-one large shipment of "what the well-dressed V-12 will wear." Yes, it won't be long now till every V-12 man on the campus will have his complete wardrobe of the latest in K.U. campus attire.
if you've noticed anything resembling the old American "women at a bargain counter" scene in the hold of the good ship K.U. (basement of Frank Strong to the less nautical-minded), just relax. Even navy discipline can not hold down the enthusiasm of V-12 men waiting to receive around 50 pieces of clothing (counting shoes, socks, and gloves in pairs).
The fellows you saw lugging good-sized boxes across the campus were the lucky ones. To prevent any mix-up in the clothing just received, the fellows are stenciling their names on each piece.
The V-12 men will not appear in their uniforms until all men are completely outfitted, and from some reliable sources comes the rumor that the sooner it happens the better they'll like it. This is a bit off-side, but I've heard that some of the fellows were a bit optimistic when they packed to join the navy—this hand laundry business isn't much fun even if you do have a shirt to wear while the other one is drying.
And then there's another practical side to it—you know the one about "there's something about a uniform." Why sure, Mac, and they say that's solid.
Union Night
Union Night will be held in the Union Lounge Saturday, July 24 from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. There will be cakes and dancing and Dorothy Mae Nelson will sing some popular songs. The music for dancing will be furnished by Dick Todd and his records. The admission will be 35c a couple for those without activity tickets.
Union Meeting For Young People
The Congregational church will have charge of a meeting for young people Sunday from 7 to 8 p.m. at Myers hall, which is across the street from the Memorial Union building. N. W. Storer, associate professor of physics and astronomy, will talk on "Some Implications of Modern Astronomy."
