Snooping Around
★ ★ ★
Members of three professional medical fraternities at the University of Minnesota - Phi Beta Pi, Nu Sigma Nu, and Phi Chi - were minus $125, taken by burglar while students slept in the third floor dorms.
The highest personal loss was $40 plus car tokens and change. The thieves entered the houses by removing screens from windows.
More Sailors at Carolina
A group of 204 men have arrived at the Naval Pre-Flight training school at the University of North Carolina. There are now 1,400 enrolled in the school. The navy is building an outdoor pool, a hospital costing $100,000, and a semi-prefabricated armory.
When all the additions have been completed the physical education plant of the University will be "one of the best in the world," according to the Tar Heel, the student publication.
To Keep For Posterity
Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, has done it again. Dorothy Lourm's personally autographed sarong was given as door prize at the "SDX" Riversert Rassle," at Purdue University.
Dottie's signature was obtained before her appearance in the Boilermaker's stadium. Accompanying the autograph are some lipstick marks made by the screen star with her own lipstick. Tsk, Tsk.
Oklahoma Speeding Along
The state regents of higher education in Oklahoma have approved a program which would provide for three semesters of 16 weeks in length each year instead of the present two semesters of 18 weeks, thus putting the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma A. and M. and other Oklahoma state schools on a 12-month basis.
Under the new plan, it will be possible for students to be graduated from the university in two calendar years and eight months by attending school all three semesters each year and taking only a short time out for vacation.
Nancy Kelly at Princeton
Princeton played host to Nancy Kelly, star of stage, screen, and radio, last week. Miss Kelly played the leading role in the Stephen and Paul Anes' production of "Guest in the House."
Louise Campbell was also featured in the cast, which included most of those originally acted in the play on Broadway.
We heard too about the day the Chancellor carried a bouquet of flowers to his office. He was walking across the campus with the flowers in his arms, and as he paused in front of Frank Strong hall to chat with a friend, he set the flowers on a step. In a few minutes a girl hurried up to him, and pointing to the flowers asked "How much?" "Oh, these aren't for sale," the Chancellor informed her. Lot content to give up the flowers, the girl asked if he could tell her where to find some like them. When the Chancellor told her that he had more like them at home, she immediately questioned him as to his address. "I live at the edge of the campus," he said, "The name is Malott." The girl turned and ran.
Get Firebrick
From Kansas Clay
For the first time in the history on the Kansas clay industries, firebrick is being manufactured from native clay. Firebricks and other refractories are industrially valuable at this time because of the vital necessity for refractories in war industries. Every plant which uses a boiler, furnace or kiln of any type must have firebricks or other refractory shapes to withstand the high temperatures obtained.
The commercial possibilities of the clays of central Kansas were discovered by the State Geological Survey. Sampling and testing of the clays was carried out by Norman Plummer and John F. Romary under the immediate direction of Mr. Plummer. Experiments now being conducted in the ceramics laboratory of the Geological Survey of Kansas are directed toward perfecting a cheap process of purifying Kansas fireclays so that "super-duty" fireclays may be produced from them. "Super-duty" refractories are able to withstand the extremely high temperatures which are obtained in some installations, such, for example, as the boiler fireboxes of our Navy's ships.
Since January, 1942, Ludowici-Celadon Company of Coffeyville has been experimenting with the possibility of manufacturing both standard and light-weight firebricks for use in installations subjected to high temperatures such as furnaces, boiler fireboxes, kilns.
Sculptor's Work On Goodwill Tour
A piece of sculpture entitled "Mare Colt" by Bernard "Poco" Frazier, instructor of design, is included in a group of selected works by sculptors of North and South America which will appear on a good will tour in major museums of the two continents.
The sculptors submitted works to a committee which selected representative statuaries. The pieces then were bought by the International Business Machine Company, who intends to sponsor the tour.
"Mare Colt," a black bronze sculpture standing 26 inches high, was modeled by a day-old colt on a farm in Smith county in 1935. Since then,
the bronze colt has been sent to museums on both coasts, winning several prizes. After the completion of the good will tour which started at the Corcoran museum in Washington, D.C. in August, "Mare Colt" will be on permanent exhibition in New York.
COURT GAME—
(continued from page seven) instance, we never run in straight lines, but always in curves, for it is easier to take a passed ball that way. We don't pivot when we don't have to, for it is a waste of movement. We never dribble when we can pass, for passing is easier. We always run at least several feet from the sidelines, so that a missed pass can be recovered."
The principle of security is equally as important as the principle of the offensive, vouched Dr. Allen.
"No country can afford to leave its borders unguarded. No team can afford to leave its goal guarded."
Drills Are Important
"Alertness is the keynote of the principle of defense," said Dr. Allen. "Alertness is to the basketball squad, what preparedness was to the United States when they entered this war."
Dr. Allen stated that many of his basketball candidates complain of the long hours spent in drills, and the short time spent in scrimmage. This is similar, the cage coach asserted, to the complaints of soldiers that too much time in training is pent in drilling fundamentals, and too little time in sham battles.
"Offers tell me that the drilling is among the most profitable training received by the men in the army," Dr. Allen said. "I know this is true of the basketball court. Players do not learn a single thing in scrim-maginlg. There only benefit is conditioning."
"Here again, we find this true on the basketball court," he declared. I would not give two cents for a basketball man who lacked imagination. He must visualize plays quickly and accurately."
Dr. Allen stated that he had read an article in which it was stated that a good offier was a man with good imagination.
"I cannot help but feel," said Dr. Allen, in conclusion, "that the man who can meet today the requirements placed upon him on the basketball court will aso meet the larger requirements of warfare tomorrow."

MEGUIAN ASKS—
asking permission for them to attend dances held each Saturday night at the Community building for service men. Permission was also asked for football game attendance out-of-town.
When these letters are returned to her office, the parents' approvals or disapprovals will be filed and students will be treated accordingly when they want to attend these functions. The permissions were necessary to comply with the Junior Hostess recommendation cards that have to be presented before a student enters the Junior Hostess—Service men dance.
Each sorority and organized house was asked to submit a plan whereby the house would save money this year.
Parents' Wishes Followed
IRONWARE—

Fifteen years ago the Allen's lent the coat of armor for a University exhibition or play and they have not seen it since. Allen said that he always hoped the Prussian ironward would be returned in effective form.
And so, after fifteen years a coat of armor was returned in miniature size.

The purpose of the commission, which is sponsored by the Alumni office and the University News Bureau, is to bind the University more closely with the towns throughout the state, to create good will, and to keep the home towns informed of student activities.
The commission directs activities in several fields which include sending Jayhawker magazines to high schools in the state, organizing programs of University songs and talks to be given at the high schools, showing displays in store windows, organizing alumni groups, showing University motion pictures, and printing news of University students in home town papers. The commission sponsors a contest each year for correspondents. Clippings from the papers are submitted for judging at the end of the year, and the winners are awarded prizes put up by the MSC and the WSA.
