Ah! Love Wheeler Tells Freshmen
Raymond Wheeler, professor of psychology, delivered a lecture entitled "Love and Marriage-Emotional Adjustments" to the freshman members of the YMCA and the YWCA at 4:30 Thursday afternoon in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building.
"Many a young man has fallen for a girl because of her physical charm, alone, to find later that her interests and capacities did not fit his life at all."
Prof. Wheeler emphasized that in choosing a mate, one should not permit physical attractiveness. alone, determine the choice.
He suggested that while a couple are still just good friends they should expand their horizons together. "Do serious things together, besides attend movies, dancing, and petting," proclaimed Prof. Wheeler. "Do something besides play. Study together. Find out each other's needs, habits. levels of intelligence. Discuss life in as many of its aspects as you can, religion, philosophy, politics, art, business, and literature. Learn about each other's cultural background and try to understand it, sympathize with it, and see how it has shaped your respective personalities and points of view," the speaker advised. "As certain how social you are, and how social your partner is. Find out, as the months go by, more about yourself. Inventory your habits, interests, aversions, and sympathies. Then make sure that you have important interests in common."
The talk was the last of a series made by various members of the faculty to aid freshmen in orientation problems.

Dr. Allen has also perfected a system whereby crippled children may play the game. In this style of play the court is zoned and players stationed in each zone. After one shoots the ball rolls to one of the other players thus eliminating the running that characterizes the other types of play.
Dr. Allen has received letters from soldiers in England telling him of the success of the game there.
To keep America's war plants rolling, we urgently need millions of additional tons of scrap iron and steel now.. We need more scrap rubber—now. And we need rags, burlap bags and manila rope in any condition.
X-Ray Reports, Not Films Available at Hospital
The announcement that appeared in the Kansan yesterday made by the Watkins Memorial hospital concerning the obtaining of x-ray pictures was erroneous, since no pictures are available. In place of the pictures are x-ray reports which were prepared by the Kansas State Board of Health. X-ray pictures are never given out nor sent out except to the student's family doctor. These reports may be obtained at the hospital during clinic hours by the student or a person with a signed statement from the student.

Sailors Bring New Language
A new course has been added to the Hill circumium—a language course that is required for women and necessary for men—if they wish to stay in the swim. So, all you laddies get aboard for lesson one in Navy Teminology—no credit given (in class).
First of all, let's get this time situation figured out. The time is very important. For instance, if you had a date with a sailor, (or were waiting for your girl to get back from a date with a sailor, be sure the sailor understands that you mean 11 o'clock closing hours, Central War Time and not eleven o'clock closing hours Navy Time. There is only one 11 o'clock Navy time and that is 11 a.m.
Navy time goes around the clock only once every 24 hours. It is designated by 0100,0200,0300 on up to 2400. One-thirty a.m. is written 0130, twelve-thirty midnight is written 0030. Twenty-four o'clock (12 p.m.) is also the zero hour. (000)
U. S. Naval Training School station is to the navy, a ship. Lieutenant Buhl, commanding officer, is the Captain. The doors are gangways, the step ladders, the beds bunks. The floors are decks with the basement below deck; the first floor, main deck; second floor, second deck; and third floor; top deck. The station wagon with the letters U. U. NAVY painted on the sides is a boat. To go into the station, the sailor goes "aboard," and to come out of the station a sailor goes "ashore."
Drinking fountains are to the University no longer water fountains—they are "Scuttle Butts." Field day is the Navy's term for a general ship (or station) cleaning. Usually every Friday.
Ropes, except in certain particular instances, are always called "lines" in the Navy, and they are always "made fast" or "belayed" instead of tied or fastened.
Also important to the college lad and lass is the difference between "on liberty" and "on leave." A liberty is a group of enlisted men entitled to, or on, shore leave. Usually the term is applied to brief absences from the ship, not to extended "vacations." Those who are entitled to long vacations are usually called "leave parties." "Liberty" does not exceed 24 hours.
To say everything is "shipshape" maens that all is well. The anonym of "shipshape is "Irish pennants."
Nickname of a sailor in "Mac." A coffee pot is a Jilpot" or "Joepot" and coffee is "Joe." A sailor is also a bluejacket." "Captain's mast" is a military court, and of course the 'brig' is the jail.
Rehearsals For Pumpkin Prom Begin Thursday
Cast and chorus rehearsals for the Pumpkin Prom stage show will begin next Thursday, Edith Ann Fleming, college junior, who with Bill Kelly, college senior, is directing the stage show, said today.
Rehearsals have not been scheduled until then because of conflicts with the "Meet the Talent" revue which is being given Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
While no definite hours have been announced for the Nov. 7 show in Hoch auditorium, a full evening of activities has been planned, student Union activities committeemen said today. The Prom, an annual fall campus event, each year scrambles a stage show, a dance, and a carnival into one evening and one building to give a wide variety of choices for fun-seeking students.
Carnival booths are being made by sororites, fraternities, the CVC, the KuKus, and Jay Janes. Each group will put on a skit, or set up a penny-pitching booth, or a dart-throwing board, or run some other kind of carnival booth. Proceeds from several of the booths will be given to the CVC to add to its post-war scholarship fund.
Music for the dance will be furnished by Danny Bachman and his band, aided by the Modern Choir, will also play for the stage show.
The subject of the stage show will not be announced until the night of the production, but will have something to do with campus affairs, stage show directors say. The cast for the show has not been announced yet, Miss Fleming said.

Victorian Cabinets In Spooner-Thayer Display
Even royal furnishings of the Windsor castle are sold at auction. Two costly Boule cabinets, as proof, stand against the wall on the first stairs landing in Spooner-Thayer museum.
Soon after Queen Victoria died in 1901, the English royal family decided to redecorate the castle. In order to make room for new furniture various pieces of castle goods were sold. At this time, Mrs. William Thayer, who dedicated the Spooner-
Thayer museum in memory of her husband, made one of her four trips to Europe. Emergency Check
Tortoise shell and cut-out brass has been laid in mosaic patterns over the dark wood. This art of inlaying tortoise shell and brass was a specialty of Charles Boule. He would glue together two sheets of brass upon two sheets of tortoise shell and cut the outline of the design through all four layers. Having an equal number of replicas of the pieces which fit exactly, he would interchange the trimming, fitting tortoise shell in brass, or or brass in tortoise shell.
Before leaving the continent, Mrs. Thayer was given an "emergency check" of $2,000 by her husband, with instructions not to spend it unless some emergency arose. To Mrs. Thayer the purchasing of the Boule cabinets was an emergency. She spent the $2,000 for the two cabinets.
Inlaying Specialist
These cabinets of the Louis XVI period were made by the famous French workman, Charles Boule of the 18th century. The Boule's were famous as craftsmen of decorative woodwork. Black ebony wood was their favorite, so the material in the cabinets is solid ebony. Inlaying Specialist
