Classics Will Be Evaluated At Annual Meeting
The thirty-seventh annual meeting of the Classical Association of Kansas and western Missouri will be held on April 16-17 at the University of Kansas City, L. R. Linde, secretary-treasurer of the association, announced today.
The Rev. William H. McCabe, president of Rockhurst College, will speak on the subject, "New Hope for the Classics," on Friday evening, April 16. The program for Saturday, April 17, consists of the following series of talks: "One Never Knows" by Miss Mabel Eggleston, Westport high school; "Values of Foreign Language Study in a Business Woman's Career" by Mrs. Helen Rowe Henze, Kansas City; "A Little Latin and Less Greek" by Mrs. Marguerite D. Penner, Topeka; "Latin and Comparative Literature" by John E. Hankins, professor of English at the University of Kansas; "The Newspaperman's Need for Foreign Language Training" by H. J. Haskell of the Kansas City Star; and "Language in Engineering Construction" by E. E. Howard, Kansas City. The program will be followed by a luncheon in the University cafeteria. A short business meeting will be held. The speaker for the afternoon will be Judge Merill E. Otis, who will speak on the subject "The Trial of Socrates."
The Association is made up of teachers of Latin and Greek, but all persons, whether members of the association or not, are invited to the meetings.
Canadians Will Have Meat Rationing Soon
Canada will begin meat rationing early in May, allowing each person two pounds a week, Finance Minister James Isley told the House of Commons in Ottawa yesterday.
Meatless days will be observed in restaurants, hotels, and other public eating places, after plans now being prepared by the prices board are completed.
The ration represents a reduction of about one-half pound a week in the average per capita consumption of meat by Canadians in 1941 and 1942, the minister said.
The rationing will be applied without differentiation between various classes of employment. A nutrition committee advising the Prices Board Foods administration had given the opinion that two pounds of meat a week, plus butter, eggs, and other available food products, was sufficient for nutrition in any type of work.
Or, perhaps it hears the laughter—happy, carefree laughter at the moment—above all else and approves of it. Who Knows?

along with the shrieks of laughter

So go ahead, you with the untidy shoe string, you in the physics laboratory, and all you others, go ahead with your friendish "Dagwood" schemes and have fun; for (the gods be praised) the day comes just once a year.

★ Letters to the Editor
To the editor.
Students often wonder what service they may render during this busy time of war and still carry on with their studies. There is one wartime contribution which every student can make now and by so doing show his respect for and loyalty to the University.
Once again with the coming of Spring, the golden-headed dandelion makes his somewhat unwanted appearance. A small yet pesky plant, the dandelion has long been a menace to the beauty of the campus. In 1941 the Student Councils succeeded in securing an entire day during which students of the University concentrated upon dandelion destruction. Last year owing to the wartime speed-up program, the administration felt that a special day could not be allotted for this purpose. Consequently, the faculty took the initiative in securing the solution to last year's problem. One afternoon was set aside for digging the weed. As soon as afternoon classes were over, faculty members began this task. They were assisted by a minority from the student body. Having received no holiday, many students lost their cooperative spirit.
Progress has been made in the right direction. Another two or three years and the problem will be solved. However, if this program is discontinued, the gains of the last two years will be lost.
This is a way to whip the menace, and it would be a fine thing if we students took the initiative in the drive this year. Certainly, the faculty would be more than happy to follow student leadership in this effort.
Must Bring Tin Cans To Dance
A tin can must be part of the equipment of every person who attends the tacky Vice Versa dance in the main lounge of the Union building April 9, according to Robert Hodgson, president of the Student Union Activities board.
The tin cans will be added to those collected in Lawrence and will be sent to the Kansas City Shredded Steel company. From there they will be sent to New Mexico where they will be used in vital defense work.

Navy May Use Swimming Pool
Naval authorities are checking the facilities of the pool in Robinson gymnasium for Naval use this summer. If the pool will not be overloaded by the sailors an arrangement will be worked out with the Navy, so that the students, sailors, marines, cadets, and the boy scouts may have access to the Robinson gymnasium pool.
Harwood Kolsky, College senior, described the method used by Dr. Beers of M.I.T. in the direct determination of the charge of the Beta particle, at the regular meeting of the physics colloquium, Monday afternoon.

Kolsky explained that the Beta particle is an electron, spontaneously emitted by a radioactive source; in this case Radium E, and that the value obtained by Dr. Beers differed from the accepted value of the electronic charge by less than two percent.

In the system used by Dr. Beers a counter arrangement totaled the number of particles striking in a given time, and the total charge of the known number of particles was then measured. By a special system of baffles in the apparatus, Dr. Beers was able to keep the effects of stray radiation at a minimum.
