UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Birthday Ball On Friday Introduces Gala Weekend
Tomorrow night brings a gala affair for all who are looking for an opportunity to participate in an evening chucked full of fun and entertainment.
The President's birthday ball will be held in the Community building and there will be dancing from 9 until 12 o'clock, with Danny Bachmann's orchestra furnishing the music.
Also Friday evening, Theta Tau, engineering fraternity, will entertain with a three hour dancing party in the chapter house from 9-12.

Should A Girl Date While Her Man Is Away
(By Phyllis Collier)
Should the wives and sweet-hearts of men who are in the armed forces and of men engaged in war industries away from home date in their absence? This is an oft-asked question and as yet, this question has gone mostly unanswered.
The men who are worried about their girl friends are probably the same ones who worried about them at home. The majority of the men, however, know that their girls are sensible, sacrificial and brave. They're proud of it. They want letters which reflect those qualities—and are cheerful. But not letters which might suggest that the girls are having a gorgeous time.
Philip Wylie says: "A woman who unwillingly walls herself away for the duration is going to blame the tedious months on her husband, whether she means to or not. I think everyone will agree that a woman who doesn't dare even to see another man, for fear it will lead her to conduct not becoming a wife, is one who could not be trusted under any circumstances."
Isolation Won't Work
Letters Must Be Cheerful
A man who assumes his girl friend is safe just because he has made her promise never to talk to, or dance with another man may be kidding himself; every woman's loyalty depends on her character, not on her geographical position in relation to night clubs.
Well, what then shall a woman do

Adapt Yourself
with her time? A generation ago, sitting at home every evening with one's knitting might have been the answer, but not now, in a swift-moving contemporary world.
Have Fun, Keep Faith
The soldier who is sacrificing so much cannot long respect the girl who whines each time she is asked to sacrifice a little.
The girl who spends her leisure mooning over her soldier's picture will not long remain the woman who attracted him in the first place. He is a part of the march of the present into the future; she is not. He is continuing to grow; she has stopped. When their reunion comes, they may well be two polite strangers rather than a man and woman who have kept faith in each other.
Navne Receives $500 For Library
When you write about home, let it be of the things he cherishes in his memory. And in whatever manner the girl who is left behind chooses to occupy her time, she should be sure that she is keeping faith with her soldier, sailor, or marine.
Wayne University recently received a gift of $500 to aid in development of a branch of the Hooker Scientific library.
