Absentees Can't Vote In Their City Elections
By JEAN SELLERS
Students of voting age can't cut school to go home and vote today-even though their precincts are almost devoid of voters since the war. The local politicians are checking up, only to find the voters have slipped away to school and the army and are not participating in their $ ^{2} $
duties as voting citizens.
Students can't vote by absentee ballot in a city election. After a look at the general statutes, the supplement, and the Kansas Digest, and after consultation of three lawyers, it seems that the books mention absentee voting for every kind of an election, but a city election.
The only method by which this can be remedied is to submit the matter for legislation before the legislative committee in order that legislative committee in order that leg upon the subject of absentee voting in city elections. It is necessary that it will appear in the statutes.
The city election is the opportunity for the 21-year-old to participate in city government and yet the right is denied him because his educational interests demand his presence on the campus. By and large, the senior population, male and female, 21 or past, who will not be home to vote this city election may prove a sizable number when one considers that many men have gone to the army and other branches of the service.
This same thing happened in the last war—the soldiers were gone and the students were away, and the city elections became almost one man shows. The fact also holds true that after being away from the home town for a period of time, the student may not be interested.

Supreme Court Ruled Government Not Liable to Indians
1119 Mass.
Washington, (INS) — The supreme court ruled yesterday that the federal government is not liable to the Creek and Seminole Indian nations for damages for "station reservations" granted railroads within tribal reservations.
The indian nations claimed that the "station reservations," frequently 20 acre tracts, were granted to railroads but not used for railroad purposes. Instead, they contended, the railroads derived profit by leasing the lands.
Justices Frankfurter and Murphy dissented.

MEAT FADES----
(continued from page six) lowing plans may be adopted. Meat may be discontinued with breakfast, each restaurant may close two or three days a week, or the restaurants may take turns in serving only meals or sandwiches. Eating Better Meals
Eating Better Meals
Incidentally, junior commando isn't the only thing that's building up our health (that's what it's for, really fellows). Students are eating more wholesome, better-balanced meals this year, care owners say. Whereas, in former years, they'd order sandwiches and malts for dinner, they now order regular dinners. And this means meat!
Mid-morning breakfast business is better, and one owner reported that students are eating heavier breakfasts now than they have in the past seven years. Emphasized was the fact that the women are eating more now. Another jelly joint manager said there was a noticeable increase in eating between meals, especially in the evening.
The whole meat situation is uncertain at the present time, as it has not been given a permanent working basis, and has not been in operation long enough. Anyway, even if there aren't any hamburgers and\steaks, students can all turn vegetarians.
OPA Rules Fats, Bones Point Free For Seeing-Eye Dogs
Washington, (INS) — In response to appeals that some provision be made in the meat rationing regulations to supply food for seeing eye dogs, the OPA ruled today that rendering fats and bones, such as suet and rib bones, may be sold point free for use as animal foods.
Rendering fats and bones are byproducts of boning operations at all trade levels. Slaughterers, wholesalers, and retailers customarily sell them to renderers who draw off the grease for use in making a variety of inedible products, including soap and glycerines.
Lean trimmings, co-mingled with these rendering fats and bones also may be sold point free for animal food, the OPA said.

"That's what a soldier wrote home about. Ask the man in the ranks how Coca-Cola rates with him. Ask the man behind the PX counter. They'll both tell you,—when it comes to refreshment, nothing takes the place of ice-cold Coca-Cola. Energy-giving refreshment . . . quality you can count on . . . distinctive, delicious taste,—all combine to prove a point that needs no proving: The only thing like Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola, itself."
