Students still interested in trying out for the "Speaking For Victory" contest are urged by Prof. E. C. Buehier of the department of speech to contact the department in room 5. Green hall.
"The students should leave their names and subjects for the tryout speeches with someone of the department," stated Professor Buehler.
"Much enthusiasm has been shown over the contest. I think that we are going to have many contestants. Some eight or ten students have been to the office already," he said last night.

K.U. Hospital Gets Grant For New Ward
A Federal grant of $22,700 from the Federal Works agency for completion of the Children's ward at the University of Kansas Hospitals, in Kansas City, has been approved. Chancellor Deane W. Malott was advised today in a telegram from Senator Arthur Capper.
Total cost for the completion and equipment has been estimated at $44,600, of which approximately $20,000 was appropriated by the last session of the Kansas legislature. Because of rapidly rising costs of building materials, this sum was found to be inadequate and application was made to the Federal Government through the offices of the FWA for funds to enable the completion of construction and equipment for the two wards.
While the space has been designated as the Children's wards, the new hospital facilities will be used for the duration of the war to alleviate to some extent, the shortage of hospital rooms in the Kansas City area because of the huge increase of population occasioned by the influx of war production workers.

"There's a cheerful spirit about this way of accepting wartime restrictions. Morale is high."
"That's the happy greeting heard today when a new supply of Coke arrives at a cooler. Folks wait for it...wait because the only thing like Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola itself. Customers smile and start moving up to pause and be refreshed.
