Speakers Will Tour To Tell Facts of War
The Victory Speakers Bureau, aiming to present war facts and information to the public, have organized for tours, Thursday and Friday, Prof. E. C. Buehler, director of the bureau, said today.
The speakers will appear in Kansas City before a Kiwanis club meeting at 12:30, Thursday morning; at the Wyandotte High School at 2:30; and before the Bonner Spring's Rotary club at 6:30. Friday's tour will take them to Humboldt for a high school assembly at 9:30 and Chanute for a general assembly of the junior college and high school at 11. The bureau has scheduled another engagement for 2:30, but the place is still undetermined.
Four of the speakers will present their speeches at the Trinity Lutheran church meeting at 6:30 tonight. The topics to be discussed will be "Medicine in Modern War" by Jesie Farmer, College senior; "The Miracle of Russia" by Newell Jenkins, College junior; "How to Pay for This War" by Bill Hough, College sophomore; and "Tank Warfare" by Judson Goodrich, College junior
Three of the speakers, Jack Parker, Bill Hough, and Newell Jenkins, presented their speeches before a student assembly at Haskell Institute Sunday night. Parker spoke on the subject, "Medicine in Modern War;" Hough, "How to Pay for This War;" and Jenkins, "The Miracle of Russia."
Other subjects which Mr. Buehler indicated have been popular are "The Culbertson Plan for Peace after the War" and "The New Geography."
$500 Loss Incurred In Stadium Fire
Five hundred dollars damage was the estimate placed by E. L. Falkenstein, financial secretary of the athletic association, on the fire Saturday night in the press box of the Memorial stadium. The fire was undoubtedly the result of carelessness or intent on the part of persons breaking into the press box indicated by smashed windows, as there was no defective wiring or other possible fire hazard about the press box he said.
The fire broke out shortly before midnight in the north end of the press box where the broadcasting booths are situated. Most of the damage occurred in broken and damaged plate glass partitions.
Repairs, however, won't amount to as much as the damage, Falkenstein reported, because the glass will be replaced with composition board panels which will provide just as effective soundproofing. One hundred fifty panes of glass were ruined.
Dandelions
No Enthusiam
For the Day
Seemingly insignificant in the face of more timely problems, the dandelion question received no decision at the meeting of both the student councils last night. The students expressed a complete lack of enthusiasm and dismissed the suggestion as pointless, Newell Jenkins, secretary of the MSC, said.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott said that the first dandelion day in 1941 was a great success, and he was in hopes that the effort would become traditional, but that it would be unwise to do anything now which involves a holiday. He, too, felt that the idea was not too practical in that now the dandelion is of relative unimportance. He suggested that if students could find time for this task on a Saturday afternoon, some solution might be gained. Unless a majority from the student body offered services, the attempt would probably be unsuccessful.
Nine Volunteer To Swell Quota
Nine students have volunteered as blood donors since the quota was filled Saturday noon, to make a total of 457 donors among students and townspeople. Volunteers may call Red Cross headquarters, telephone number 803, until 5 o'clock tomorrow evening, although they probably will not be asked to give blood until the next Red Cross mobile unit comes to the Community building in May or June, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson said this morning.
The last nine donors are Bob

Council Plans Decisive Acts Next Tuesday
The bill on elections for the new All-Student Council was given its first airing at the combined meeting of the MSC and WSGA last night, but no definite action was taken, and the bill was referred back to its committee to be worked over and presented at the next meeting. A thorough hashing out of the bill is expected to take place at next Tuesday's meeting, said Vernon McKale, president of the MSC. This bill concerns all plans for the election of president and representatives to the council and takes up such details as apportionments of representatives from schools and organizations, counting of ballots, balloting, place of political parties and so on.
Submitted by Clarence Engle, College junior, the unfinished bill contained a clause stating the non-political organizations to be represented. The list included YMCA, YWCA, Inter-Fraternity Council, Pan Hellenic Council, Independent Student's Association, Men's dormitories, cooperative houses, Negro Student's Association, Jay James, and KuKu's. The list was understood to be tentative, and the constitution states that the organizations represented shall be changed as the council sees fit to change them.
The councils decided against holding a Dandelion Day, started two years ago to rid the campus of the weed, not because it wasn't a good idea, but because it wasn't practical in view of the University's speeded up schedule.
Coolidge Quartet Plays Tomorrow
After playing a concert Sunday to a capacity audience in Kansas City, the famous Coolidge String Quartet will present a program at 8:20 o'clock tomorrow evening in Hoch auditorium as the fifth attraction of the University Concert Course.
The personnel of the quartet includes William Kroll, first
Engineers Will Take Fall Course This Summer
"The 16 week's summer semester will be the regular fall semester for the School of Engineering and Architecture," Prof. J. O. Jones, assistant dean of the school, announced yesterday.
All subjects regularly taught in the fall semester will be taught in summer school, he stated, and the semester beginning next fall will be the regular 1944 spring semester.
The summer session for the engineers will begin at the same time as that for the rest of the University, said Raymond Nichols, executive secretary. Orientation of new students begins May 22, registration and enrollment follow on the 24 and 25, and classes begin Wednesday, May 26, he said.
Professor Jones expects that most of the engineers will be in summer school this year because it's "either go to school this summer or go to the army." He also is planning on a large enrollment of freshmen.
"The entire staff of the School of Engineering and Architecture will be retained this summer," Professor Jones stated, "and we will probably need more teachers than we have now."

violin; Jack Pepper, second violin; David Dawson, viola; and Naeum Benditzky, violoncello. Each member has appeared as soloist with various symphony orchestras in the nation.
The program, identical with the one presented in Kansas City, will consist of "Op. No. 4 in D Major," (J. Haydn); "Op. 74 E Flat Major," (Beethoven); and "Quartet in F," (M. Ravel).
Recently the Coolidge Quartet was asked by Artists Films Inc. to make a motion picture in Hollywood. The quartet has appeared on many radio programs, including Benny Goodman's and Jack Benny's, as well as broadcasts of their own. Last year, this aggregation played a prominent part in the annual Coolidge Festival in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.
Tickets for the concert are on sale at the School of Fine Arts office or may be obtained at the box office tomorrow night for $2.00, $1.50, and $1.00 plus state and federal tax, Dean Donald M. Swarthout said.
Will Interview Women Desiring Radio Work
Women interested in radio or engineering work may be interviewed by Capt. Walter F. Thorpe, of the Signal Corps, in Room 109 Fraser, anytime before noon tomorrow, it was announced by military authorities today. A six-months course beginning April 19 in aircraft radio work will be offered for women at the University.
Following the intensive course, the student is required to sign an agreement for work at the laboratories at Wright field, Dayton, Ohio, as a junior engineer. The work in the laboratories consists of developing, designing, and research in aircraft radio, as assistant to an electric or radio engineer.
The course is based on intensive use of electricity and mathematics and how they apply to radio. While in training women are paid $1440 a year, with an increase in salary after completion of the course.
Captain Thorpe believes that a woman whose grades were up might receive credit for the semester of University work and enter the class April 19, too.
