A Good-Bye Celebration
Farewell Party For Men Leaving For Military Duty
University students who will soon leave for military service were given a farewell party last night in an Abraham Lincoln atmosphere.
More than five hundred students turned out to dance to Bachmann and Pope's bearded band in a Union Building rusticly
decorated with pine boughs and huge old wagon wheels. Appetites were taken care of by a stand peddling hot dogs and apples.
KFKU broadcast by remote control from the Union Building the program for the University service-bound men. Prof. Allen Crafton of the speech department, sang "Over There" and then gave a short speech in which he emphasized the need of a strong upper lip.
Harlan Cope, impersonating Lincoln, took the solo part in the Modern Choir's number, "Abraham," and the Ama Mater" was sung. A chorus of Navy men sang "Anchors Aweigh" and Lt. A. H. Buhl conducted an interview of several sailors.
The roving reporters interviewed Newell Jenkins and Dick Royer, and Chancellor Malott closed the broadcast with a goodbye to the service men.
Two University professors were elected to engineering society offices at conventions held in Topeka this weekend.
Clean-shaven Tom Manion proved to be a better whittler than a beardgrower, and edged out bearded Charles Taylor in the whitting contest. Judges Madame Vilishlowsky and Jenongahanna Oberdowski pronounced Manion's head of Lincoln a masterpiece.
Prof. George W. Bradshaw, of the department of civil engineering, was elected president of the Kansas division of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Prof. W. C. McNown, also in the civil engineering department, who this week retired as president of the committee of the Kansas Engineering Society, was elected chairman of the committee on engineering employment. This committee's work deals mainly with the problems of collective bargaining for engineers. Dr. V. P. Hessler, of the department of electrical engineering here is also a member of the committee.
