Amerine Will Be Guest At K.U.-Oklahoma Game
Back to the scene of what must seem to him now to be some of his lesser triumphs is coming Dick Amerine, lieutenant in the Marine Corps and a hero of the recent fighting in the Solomon islands.
Amerine, former Jayhawk grid star, is at present on his way back to the United States to recover from minor injuries, and will be, with his wife, honor guest at the Oklahoma-Kansas football game at Memorial stadium, Parents' Day, October Resigns to Raise On
Amerine's exploits recently attracted nation-wide attention and commendation, when stranded behind enemy lines, he fought his way back to American-held territory after killing four enemy soldiers. Amerine is a member of the Marine Air Corps, and will be restrained following a short rest here.
reat Broken-Field Runner
Amerine's parents at present reside at Williamstown, ten miles northwest of Lawrence. Mrs. Amerine, who will meet her husband at San Diego when his ship docks, is the former Denny Lemoine, who received her bachelor of arts degree at this University in 1940.
Amerine was a member of the class of 1940, and is regarded by University football fans as one of the greatest broken-field runners ever to perform at the stadium to which he is returning. Said Prof. W. W. Davis, athletic board head; "Dick was one of the greatest broken-field runners Kansas ever produced. If he had been on a ton-flight team, he would undoubtedly have gained national recognition." Helped Upset Okies
Amerine first attracted the attention of Jayhawk fans in his son-in-law year at the University, when in the last 15 seconds of play he made a sensational catch of a deflected pass and scored the touchdown which upset a mighty Oklahoma University team 6 to 3.
In his junior year, Amerine averaged 6.7 yards per try, despite two broken vertebrae which kept him out of competition for most of the season. Against Washburn that season he sprinted 65 yards for one touchdown. Previously against Kansas State he had run 49 yards for a tally.
"Dashing Dick" started off his senior year with a 65-yard touchdown run against Drake in the opening game of the season. Thru the remainder of the season, Amrine was a thorn in the sides of opposing squads, with his peculiar shifty running, and expert pass snagging. He was prevented from competing in what was to have been the final game of his college career against Missouri by wrist and shoulder injuries suffered in an earlier game.
Amerine was an entomology major at the University. After leaving college he enlisted in the marines in January, 1941. He received his air corps wings in February, 1942, at Corus Christi, Texas. Following his graduation he married his sweetheart at the University, Denny Lemoinne, in Kansas City, Mo. Lieut. and Mrs. Amerine made their home in San Diego until June, when he was transferred to Pearl Harbor. In August he was sent to the Solomon islands.
Amererie expects to make the marine corps his life work.
Dem A. H. King, for 40 years at Kansas Wesleyan in Salina, has retired to live on his orange ranch near Mission, Texas.
King was a member of the state board of deducation, and served for many years as vice-president, head of the normal department, and professor of education at Kansas Wesleyan.

Dick Trubey, who was graduated from the School of Pharmacy this summer, is the author of an article in this month's "American Druggist," entitled "Animals Against the Axis." The articles suggests methods by which druggists can cooperate more extensively with farmers in providing food for the war effort.

(continued from page six) given the girls who used mascara and could constantly wiggle better eyelashes. But that would leave each girl one whole man, providing, of course, that the law of averages could be invoked favorably.
Chapters 2 to 12 include a dissertation upon the care and feeding of valuable men after they have been obtained. They are quite an investment, according to Mrs. Sommers, and should be well treated to protect one's own interests. Now Comes Erstatz Men
Chapter 13 is an interesting one, the chief charm lying in the fact that it is non-existent. Your reporter leafed through the book repeatedly before phoning the publisher. There we learned that Mrs. Sommers is superstitious.
Chapters 14 an 15 deal with the growing absence of men from social events. In this Mrs. Sommers shows considerable insight into mechanics, as she inserts a detailed drawing for a metallic robot to serve as escort to lonely ladies. Doubtless, the enthusiastic Mrs. Sommers forget all about the scrap metal drive.
In the totally-manless instance, college sororites and dormitories are advised in chapter 16, to take up
knitting, going to movies, and developing an overwhelming delight in double solitaire (for use with Roomy.) Then there is always the pastime of writing letters to the men away from home and the campus.
In chapter 17 Mrs. Sommers makes the coup d'etat. She unconditionally insists that if a woman has not seen a man for two weeks, and if that same woman cannot immediately develop a case of schizophrenia and imagine she's Cleopatra with scads of men surrounding her, then the only course is a one-way trip to the nearest lake. For, as Mrs. Sommers philosophically closes her book with an epigram that will live alongside those of La Rouchefoucault and Osear Wilde, "Life without men is worse than life without gumdrops."
