Services Take Over Organized Houses
The war has begun to cause changes in locations, as well as in numbers of organized houses of the University. Two fraternities and two sororites have included service men or women aeronautical engineers in their ranks, and one hall has disbanded entirely for the engineers.
Because of lack of numbers, the Jayhawk co-op disbanded and was consolidated into the John Moore and the Rock Chalk co-ops, and the house is now the home of the Kaw Koettes.
Leonard H. Axe, professor of economics, has completed a survey of all men's organized houses to discover facilities available in each. Parts of the houses checked were kitchen and dining facilities, dormitory space, and area of study room.
Since the army standards differ from those of the navy, it is impossible to make an over-all estimate of facilities available to house men, Professor Axe said.

Hi: No. 2
Two melodions and one of the first pianos made are on display in the small north gallery of Spooner- Thayer museum.

One of the melodions, made in 1840 by Nye and company of Vermont, was given to the museum by Mrs. William Miller of Lawrence. The other instrument, made in 1860, was lent to the museum by Mrs. Flora Boynton, office secretary of the endowment association. Both melodions are mahogany and were played by pumping the bellows in the back of the cabinet.
The piano was one of the instruments made from 1780 to 1800 by John Broadwood and sons of London. It was one of the first pianos made without pedals. The keyboard extends only about three-fourths of the way down the piano, and the strings and sounding board are at the back and left side of the instrument. The piano still plays.

Wm. Allen White Fears Aftermath
Chicago, (INS) — William Allen White of Emporia, one of the best known "small town" newspaper editors of the country. Friday painted a pessimistic outlook toward the future.
Speaking before the Executive club of Chicago, White, also known as the "sage of the prairies," said he was "seared because a complicated civilization is growing on this planet which I seriously fear will wipe me out, me and my kind—the little executive, the man who owns his own shop.
"I wish most heartily," he said, "that I could see one vista ahead of me, down one corridor, where I might believe that we old fashioned owner-executives . . . could walk in anything like security."
He declared he saw real danger of extinction for the owner-executive. He said he could not see how the owner-executive could survive the current machine age.
The owner of the Emporia Gazette, a paper he bought 48 years ago, added:
"We little executives are no longer individuals, and we may never be again . . ."
Labor Leader Condemns Plans for Protest Strikes
Topeka, (INS)—William C. Fox, president of the state federation of labor, has put his foot down on plans to stage protest strikes if the legislature enacts the bill regulating Kansas labor unions.
Mr. Fox issued a statement condemning the Coffeyville central labor body for threatening to strike, stating that any such protest action would be a violation of the law. Mr. Fox said he would retaliate by revoking the Coffeyville charter if the strike was called.

Red Cross Runs Out Of Bandage Material
The surgical dressings room of the Red Cross in the senior high school will be closed after Thursday until material can be sent from the St. Louis Red Cross center, said Mrs. Horey Hanna, director of the surgical dressings room.
The reason for the temporary closing of the room is that the quota of 39,000 dressings has been completed before the designated time, the first of April. Material for dressings is not available for a new quota at this time.
The room will be re-opened as soon as the supplies can be received. "I hope that volunteer workers will return at that time," said Mrs. Hanna.
