'Cornelius' No Ghost Pin Authentic
By Tom Cadden
"Shucks! No ghosts after all."
The shroud of mystery that surrounded what appeared to be an uncanny piece of "ghost-work" has been removed.
The mystery: about two weeks ago, Colleen Poorman, college senior, reported the loss of her Mortar board pin, after
attending an MSC-WSGA dinner in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
The following morning, the janitor found a pin in the room in which she believed she had lost hers. But this pin had the name of "Cornelius" on it. After a bit of checking up, the report was made that there had never been a "Cornelius" who belonged to the Mortar Board society at the University.
Things looked sorta "spooky."
The Solution—The pin did belong
to Colleen!
The pin did belong to "Cornelius!" "Cornelius" was a student here! There are no ghosts . . . (at least in this case)!
The ghost-rummer prompted a little research and revealed after a thorough digging in the record files, that "Conelius" was a student here and a very-much-alive student.
Jane Cornelius, an outstanding student, received her degree in nursing in 1933 at the University. In 1932-33 she was a member of the Mortar-Board society, national organization for senior women which is based on scholarship, leadership, service to the University, and character.
After her graduation, she entered the French Institute of Notre Dame De Sion in Kansas City, Mo. Then she left for Paris, France to enter convent of the same sisterhood.
Recently, the Mortar Board society received Miss Cornelius's pin which she donated to the chapter in her memory.
From there, it is easy to be seen that Miss Poorman had received the honor of wearing the pin and it was this same pin which she lost.
Now the only part of the mystery that remains unsolved is the whereabouts of Miss Cornelius at the present time. The alumni office was unable to give any information.

Pattern Art Illustrates MediaRange
Pictures now on exhibit in Dyche museum by Karl Mattern, associate professor of drawing and painting, illustrate the range of techniques and moods of the artist.
The visitor who has seen Mr. Mattern's shows during the last two or three years will notice a change in the artist's technique. The subjects in a number of his paintings are treated to accentuate pure color and simplified form.
The red used in "Greenwich Village" reveals the beginning of his changing technique. Colors are brighter and nearer the pure hue. Simplified and accentuated patterns and shapes of bright colors are dominant in "Underpass," "Figure Piece," and "Display Signs." "Bareback Rider" is a suggestion of a circus in patterns of white, blue, and pink.
In other pictures, the artist expresses himself in his older style. Colors are not as brilliant, shapes are not drawn so vigorously. Subdued, softer shades and gentle moods are used in such pictures as "Girl at the Typewriter," "The River," "Flowers," and memory scenes of Kansas.
Kansans will recognize the herd of horses and old fashioned barn as a familiar scene, and University students and Lawrence citizens will appreciate the scene of the bridge and Kaw river.
There is only one lithograph in the show, but "Oil and Corn" is another example of the artist's range of media. An oil tanker steaming by a snow-covered stubble field is a pleasing picture in black and white.
BEAT Kansas State! ! ! ! !
Mineral Resources Building
Completion of the new mineral resources building so that it may be occupied by students in January, was predicted this week by University authorities. The building will house the departments of geology,
petroleum engineering, mining and metallurgical engineering, and the Kansas Geological Survey. The exceptional research facilities provided here will be important to the industrial development of the state in the
exploitation of its natural resources. For the duration of the war, the building's facilities will serve as a test and control laboratory for munitions and other war plants in the Middle West.
Clough Checks In Meets Deadline
Mr. Clough left Washington at 6:30 p. m. Thursday "to allow plenty of time for a good night's rest" he said. He had reservations on the National Limited all the way through to Lawrence.
Trouble began a few miles from Washington when the train was stopped owing to floods. Mr. Clough said the Limited backed up and started on a number of tracks before it finally
Fording floods, missing trains, and forced hitchhiking could not deter Frank C. Clough, an official in the Office of the Censor in Washington, from reaching his destination—the Journalism building. He arrived yesterday morning at 11:29 to address the Kansas editors at 11:30 at their annual editor's conference.
got through. When he awoke at 8:30 a.m. Friday, he was but 252 miles on his way and $16 \frac{1}{2}$ hours late.
Arriving in St. Louis Friday at 1 p.m., Clough was one and one-half hour late for his transfer reservation, and was forced to change his ticket to another train. The train was so crowded he had to stand up almost all the way to Kansas City. The train from Kansas City to Lawrence was only one-half hour late.
Mr. Clough had troubles in Lawrence too. Unable to find a taxi at the station and with not enough time to wait for one, he rushed to a car containing two men that was marked KU and procured a ride up the hill, an hour late on the program schedule, but not too late to deliver his speech.
WEATHER
Seasonal temperatures will prevail throughout most of the Middle West.
War Camouflage Class Takes First Field Trip To Practice Disguise
