PAGE SIX UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1942 Entertainment Is Urged For Coming "Vacationless" Holiday Weekend. Thursday, November 26, is Thanksgiving Day, and a declared holiday for the University. On Friday classes are to be resumed. It seems to be assumed by many students that, even though classes are scheduled for that Friday, which comes between a holiday and a weekend, one day of class cuts isn't going to make too much difference as far as their standings in the courses are concerned. So, in many cases, a vacation of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is being planned strictly unofficially. As things stand now, Friday is going to be merely a day of chaos from which neither the University nor the student is going to profit. STUDENTS—Taking such an unauthorized vacation in these times, in no matter which light you view the situation, is literally bad business. The tire situation makes the driving from Lawrence to the home town an unpatriotic move. Other means of transportation are already crowded by the heavy traffic essential to the nation's carrying on of its war effort. COMMENT-In view of these existing sets of circumstances, it is reasonable that some sort of a student-administration agreement should be found. SUGGESTION—It would result in the general satisfaction of both parties if, by acknowledgment of this writing on the wall, the administration would encourage the taking of steps to cause students to want to stay on the Hill over the Thanksgiving holiday and be here for classes on Friday. Such planning would be fairly simple to carry out, for instance: 1. Allow 12:30 closing hours on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. 2. Arrange for two or three varsity dances and entertainments to be held by the Student Union Activities association. The Thanksgiving weekend is now only two weeks off. If such activities are to be undertaken, Student Union officials should at once begin their planning. The student body will certainly applaud their efforts in making this Thanksgiving weekend, the first for many of them to be spent away from home, a pleasant one.-D.S. A Pharmacy Corps The University School of Pharmacy has been undertaking an all-out effort in support of the Pharmacy Corps bill during recent weeks, in the belief that the measure will serve as a greater safeguard for the health of the American soldier. Basic principle of the bill is to give the man in uniform the same health protection as the civilian receives. Pharmacy is at present one of the few health services not recognized by our government, and as a result there are no skilled pharmacists, as such, in the services capable of scientific dispensation of medicine. At present that duty is being handled by medical officers—men badly needed for other medical services. The American Legion, experienced in the health difficulties of the last war, has come out firmly for a bill which would establish the Pharmacy Corps, centralize authority in medical dispensation, and eliminate an overlapping of duties. The bill before Congress provides that student pharmacists would be admitted to a pharmacy unit in the Reserve Officers Training Corps for a period of two years, and would be eligible for advance training on a basis of their records. In recognition of the vigorous demand that soldiers receive such specialized services, the pharmacy students of this University have joined with other men in the profession and with other persons concerned with soldier welfare in writing letters to members of Congress urging support of the bill. Should the measure pass, it will mark one more advancement in the care of those men on the fighting fronts.

Just Wondering If the steel street-car rails imbedded in the pavement east of Frank Strong hall wouldn't make an excellent contribution to the scrap drive. The cost of removing them would be higher than rails are worth at scrap prices, but all that steel won't kill any Japs or Germans where it is now. At 7:30 the other morning, Nadine Potter, 1221 Oread, was studying enthusiastically on a mid-semester she was to take at 8:30. Her teacher came by and she spoke pleasantly.to him. At 8:15 Nadine realized with a start that she had had a 7:30 class under the same teacher that she had her mid-semester from at 8:30. She hurried to class to get in on the last few minutes. As she walked into the class room, the teacher, determined to set Nadine up as a bad example, chastised her as she sneaked to her seat.

On the ground, radio rides into battle in tanks—field telephones, wire and switchboards coordinate far-flung operations. At sea, radio, battle announcing systems and telephone transmit orders and reports. Sixty years as manufacturer for the Bell System gave Western Electric the "know how" and facilities to turn out such specialized wartime equipment to "keep 'em in contact."
