PAGE SEVEN
It Shore Is A Job Advertising
By Mary Eleanor Fry
Writing copy for advertisements in the Kansan, looking for mats for these advertisements, and then chasing up and down the main drag of Lawrence to either sell or pick up advertisements—and cutting classes occasionally to get the job done—are features of the fascinating business side of the Daily Kansan.
Oliver Hughes, business manager, Betty Lou Perkins, advertising manager, Mary Eleanor Fry, assistant advertising manager, Mary Morrill, and Jane Miner are the chief aspirin-consumers in the business department.
They Think, Sleep, Maybe Eat Ads These students think advertising in the day time, dream about advertising (or advertisers) during the few hours they sleep, and if food rationing gets much worse and the coke and potato chip supply is further curtailed, they may eat advertisements too.
Pictures for advertisements, such as dancers at Wiedemann's or men in Ober's and Carl's, are obtained through the mat service. The illustrations are pictured in a sort of catalog; the one wanted for a particular advertisement is clipped from the catalog, pasted on the layout, and the actual mat is obtained at the Outlook office (no charge this time, Mr. Abels).
Damia Is Very Helpful
Once in a while the advertiser, if he has his own mat service, clips out the wrong mat and the staff, being human, doesn't notice the error until E. G. Stith, University press foreman, catches up with one of them about noon on the day it is to be printed.
Then is the time when another "member" of the department comes into his own. "Damja," the staff's can, has been used for many a quick trip down town to get a mat, or a late advertisement. (Ration board, please don't note: Damja is also used for a quick trip for a coke.)
Rather infrequently are the times that the mat specified by the merchant just can't be found. Then a shirt is a shirt, even though a sport shirt does look out of place in a dress shirt advertisement. National Ads Are Blessing
The national advertisements, such as those sent out by the cigarette and bottled beverage companies, are the advertising salesman's dream. They come through the mail, already electrotyped, and mounted on a block of wood, so all that needs to be done is to put them in the chase to be printed.
Just when the members of the business staff, as well as those upstairs on the news and editorial staffs, find time to study isn't known, except that they do. But any one of them will tell you that the experience is worth the headaches involved, and they wonder what kids without several extra-curriculars do to amuse themselves when they aren't in class.

The board dinner is an annual award banquet at which honors for the school year are awarded to leading students in journalism. Included in the awards are Sigma Delta Chi's naming of the journalism man of the year and members of the senior scholastic key society, the Henry Scott award to promising junior men in the department, and the L. N. Flint awards for the best editorial, news story, and feature story appearing in the University Daily Kansan during the past school year. The staff for the fall term of 1943 and newly elected members of the Kansan Board will also be announced.
ALLIES ENGAGE--as follows:
(continued from page one) advance along the entire line leading to Tunis. At the last word from the fighting front, the British and Americans have driven a deep dent into the whole Nazi defense line.
Allied air action accompanying the land drive was the most bitter of the campaign. Yesterday alone 1500 sorties were counted; the skies literally were black with British and American craft.
On other fronts, reports were sent
Washington, (INS)—Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox labelled as "grossly inaccurate" a report by the senate Truman committee that Allied ship sinkings during the past year exceeded construction of merchant vessels.
Knox Says Truman Wrong On Sinkings
"I want to call attention to the fact that the committee didn't distinguish between gross and dead-weight tons." Knox said at a news conference. "The figures are very seriously off. The committee apparently got them from unauthorized and uninformed sources because those figures (sinkings) have never been given out."
Southwest Pacific — MacArthur's airmen followed up American seizure of a new offensive base in the Elliee islands with a series of new attacks against Japanese key points. Jans Still Threatening
A sharp new warning came from Australian army Minister Francis Forde. He said the Japanese now have facilities in islands north of Australia to handle 2,000 planes. He reiterated estimates that 200,000 Japanese invasion troops are massed north of the Commonwealth.
Russia—Fighting died down on the Kuban valley front of the Caucasus. A new Soviet offensive was expected. The Nazis appeared willing to rest as the result of heavy losses of men and materials.
London — Japanese execution of captured American airmen was hailed with loud approval today in Berlin and Rome.

★ Letters to the Editor
DEAR EDITOR:
. "Air Force" is dedicated to the men and crew who loved and cherished "Mary Ann," their flying fortress. Tail-gunner John Garfield is shown in action.
I think many of us are confused about why we are fighting in this war; and for most of us I think it remains a question until we are called upon to make "supreme" sacrifices, or actually take part in mortal combat. I'd like to quote a letter written by an old friend of mine, a "Connecticut Yankee," who survived the ordeal at Pearl Harbor and until recently was stationed at the Topeka and Salina Air Bases. He writes from England, and we presume he is participating in the frequent bombings of the continent:
"It's hard to believe that the people in England have been getting about in complete darkness for over three years now. They've had the hell rationed out of them. Get hardly any meat at all—eat fish almost every day. You don't see anything but taxies, buses, and military vehicles on the road. Civilian driving has disappeared almost completely.
"We shouldn't complain about taxation. Britishers pay 50 per cent of their income in taxes. I make four times more money than my English counterpart and as much as the British flying major. No wonder we're all known as rich Americans. Seeing a little of the world—other peoples, makes you Oh, so proud to be an American—so thankful that there is an America. Please preserve it and help spread its good to others. There is so much misery over here. Our flag is worth fighting and working for with every ounce of blood and energy we have. War is hell—let's get it over with—now!"
Three preludes, "The Wind on the Plains," "Sounds and Perfumes Floating in the Evening Air," and "The Hills of Anacapri" (Debussy)—Allen Rodgers, pianist; "Carnavalli di Venezia" (Benedict)—Elaine Talley, vocalist.
"Voce di Donna" (Ponchielli)—Nadyne Brewer, vocalist; "Valse" from Suite for String Orchestra
