Snooping Around
The 1943 Record, year book of the University of Pennsylvania will be ready for distribution in time for the February graduation this year. Until this year the yearbook had been issued in June. The 1943 Record will include information on all men who will graduate in February and June, plus those who were graduated last September.
To Celebrate on Oct. 24
Homecoming will be celebrated at Kansas State Teachers' College, Fort Hays, on October 24. The football team will play Emporia State in the afternoon.
Football games at Hays are played in the evening. The queen will be crowned between halves, and the game will be followed by the varsity dance. Student organizations will compete in house decorations and competitive stunts.
Cornhuskers Collect Scrap
Something new and different in the way of homecoming decorations will appear at the University of Nebraska next Saturday. Scrap rubber and metal will be collected by the competing houses and will be piled in front of the houses to be judged according to quantity.
Each house will be allowed to spend five dollars for a homecoming banner which may have either the war effort or the football game as its theme. Houses will be judged on both the amount of scrap and the originality of the banner.
Two Bands For Ball
Two bands have been booked for the Harvest Ball, first major dance of the social season at Iowa State College. The bands of Bob Allen and Ray Gray will play alternate numbers at the dance.
Crowning of the Harvest Ball Queen will highlight the informal dance. The queen is chosen by the students of the Agricultural division
War Work at Minnesota
The WSGA at the University of Minnesota will supervise the co-ed surgical dressings unit. Meeting twice a week, the co-eds hope to turn out 20,000 surgical dressings each month. These dressings will be used both by the University hospital and by the Red Cross for soldiers at home and abroad.
One credit point in the WSGA point and merit system will be given for each hour's work in the unit.
Gets Fackenthal Library
Lafayette College has been enriched by a collection of more than 500 volumes from the library of the late B. F, late B. F, Fackenthal, Jr., famed industrialist-philanthropist and a member of the class of 1878
Start Campaign For Scrap Metal On Campus Today
Fifty men of the buildings and grounds department responded to a call by C. G. Bayles, superintendent, for volunteers to aid in picking up scrap iron on Mt. Oread today. The call for volunteers followed the result of a survey taken this week by Chancellor Deane W. Malott, J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, and Mr. Bayles, who found scrap iron amounting to about 10 tons.
Begin Drive in January
The University first began the drive in January when metal was cleaned out of different laboratories. Another drive on July 30 gathered metal from the Hill. Today's drive in cooperation with the statewide drive directed by Dolph Simons, business manager of the Lawrence Journal-World, will be the third such drive.
All kinds of scrap may be found in science laboratories, gymnasiums, kitchens, storerooms, boiler rooms, clubs, fraternities, and other buildings. There is a wealth of material available, from old Bunsen burners to discarded iron beds; from rubber mats to steam pipes; from old fences and railings to broken-down pianos; from torn shower curtains to old rags; from hemp rope to replaced boilers. Any student who has a jalopy which has outlived its usefulness may do his country a service by taking it to an automobile graveyard. Articles such as keys, badges, and miscellaneous items are good scrap and can be found in the very rooms in which students live.
Yield Taken To Foundry
Fifty pounds of scrap have been collected from the old Snow Hall by the buildings and grounds committee. The Physics department turned in approximately one ton, bacteriology department 860 pounds, botany, University Press, Civil Engineering and psychology each 500 pounds, and small amounts were received from the political science department and the extension division.
Several tons were taken to the foundry to be used in making tools for the U. S. Naval training school. Anyone wishing to turn in scrap metal should take it to the building and grounds department or if unable to transport it, notify Thos. C. Ryther, defense co-ordinator for the University, or C. G. Bayles, superintendent of building and grounds.
First group of 1.600 enlisted members of the WAVES will be trained at the University of Wisconsin, Indiana University and Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Besides learning their own language, Dutch students must learn to speak French, English, and German. Catharina speaks excellent English.
Catharina is a reporter's dream as she talks freely of her home country and her experiences. She remarked that Dutch people are very natural. The girls usually wear no make-up and rarely smoke. The Dutch enjoy walking, bicycling, swimming, and skating. Marriage rings are worn on the right hand, and watches are worn on the right wrist. The steering wheel is on the right side of the car. The people are very democratic and before the war were all in about the same financial class.
The story of the journey of the Fruin family from Brussels to New York is a thrill-packed adventure. At 5 o'clock in the morning on May 10, 1940, they heard bombs drop in Brussels. They had their own car, and with what money they had in the house left the day the Germans were expected to arrive.
The Fruin's saw parachute troops descend from the skies. They waited in line for three hours to get bread to eat and slept in dance halls with men, women, children, dogs and cats.
The Germans weren't particular as to whom they bombed, and attacked refugees as well as soldiers. The Fruin family attempted to cross the Channel at Bretagne but found that there were no more boats. They were in Versailles when Paris surrendered. There was the usual delay in receiving papers for admittance into Spain but they were fortunate enough to get them. They sold their car in Portugal and spent a month there before boarding a Greek boat for New York. They arrived in New York Oct. 12, 1940. They were in southern France when the country surrendered. Catharina states that the French people were very much against the surrender and preferred to continue the fight against the invaders.
The schools are separated. The girls attend school at one end of the city, the boys at the other. Students pay for their education according to the

She likes movies, but not the gangster type. Collecting spoons is her hobby. Her ambition is to help win the war through her practical knowledge of physical education. She is undecided about her plans after the war.
Catharina left New York last year and attended McPherson College. I asked her how she liked KU (she is a junior in physical education here and she replied, "Well, in Holland all the boys dance at parties and don't stand around. Here most of them go to watch."

'I WAS FRAMED'
The physical conditioning staff includes 16 students who meet each evening with Capt. E. E. Baker of the department of military science for training in military leadership. Dr. Laurence Morehouse is a new instructor in the department this year, but he will leave Saturday to enter the navy as an ensign. This leaves a small staff to instruct 1600 men in the wartime physical conditioning program.

in cooperation with the national physical conditioning program," Dr. Allen stated, "and my attitude is expressed in the letter I sent to each member of the varsity basketball team."
The portion of the letter Dr. Alen referred to follows: "This interlude of a few years was not given you to return to the campus and carry on in the ways of previous college days. It will be a more serious group this year, and while athletics will have their place in the great scheme of things, the real purpose will be to develop a finer fighting morale and a more splendid esprit de corps for the men of Mt.
