Snooping Around

Along with Kansas various other universities over the country are working at top speed accepting the challenge thrown at every institution by the Pearl Harbor catastrophe. Michigan State recently held a "tag day" similar to the one on our campus. Booths were erected and war stamps were sold to all the students, who in return wore recognition tags. It proved to be a huge success.
A novel idea was carried out by two students at Michigan State when they collected money amounting to two dollars to secure a "hairless due" consisting of a bald pate except for a remaining crop of hair in the shape of a "V". The money was used to purchase war stamps, however, and the boys paid for the shaves themselves.
At the University of Virginia, students and faculty members are making a conscientious survey in attics and old music cabinets for discarded music, phonograph records, and instruments in a nation-wide drive to provide music for the men in the army, navy, and marine corps camps.
Over a thousand naval trainees will spend four months on the Indiana campus in the yeoman training school. Every member of that University has accepted the responsibility of entertaining the visitors. The purpose is to extend their hospitality to each guest, and make them feel that they are a part of the institution. During their stay, the trainees will carry on a normal college life until they have become prepared for active duty.
Attractive co-eds wearing white armbands stamped with red anchors, covered the University of Washington's grounds and sold navy relief buttons for $1.25 apiece. The last report was that one-fifth of the quota had been obtained by the conscientious workers.
Still another method of females endeavoring to do their part in national defense is noted at Stephens College, Columbia, Mo. Forty-seven per cent of the 1,750 girls enrolled in the college have asked for instructions in motor mechanics.
Personal protection is given more consideration than ever before as a result of the accepted fact that the ocean is not too large to be crossed by invaders. At the University of Texas, extensive first aid courses are being given. Also at Eastern Oregon college the students have formed their own air raid protection unit and a first aid corps.
The faculty at Purdue laid down a plan for the women to follow during the summer to do their bit for a country at war. The first thing is to attend summer school with a definite purpose in mind. Secondly, to work in a factory, office, or on a farm. Third, to learn shorthand and typing as a great number of secretaries are needed. Last, to carry on volunteer work in the community.
A plan, although not connected with the war situation, at Washington University has caused much interest from other schools. The
Elect Officers And Initiate Members
At their spring banquet Tuesday evening members of the Kansas chapter of Sigma Xi initiated 11 new members and elected officers for the 1942-44 term. Dr. A. J. Mix, professor of botany, showed the group a series of slides illustrating "Kansas Wild Flowers."

Washington chapter of Phi Delta Theta fraternity has abolished the traditional "hell week," and have announced a decrease in scholarship trouble among pledges, and a more congenial relationship with parents as a result of it. The custom has disappeared entirely from all fraternities except the middle west where the movement is making the least progress.

NOTICE
The following books are missing from the Gillham Collection at Watson Library. They have been taken from the building by individuals, who, rather than accept responsibility for the volumes, carried them away without signing for them. Since these books are part of a memorial collection intended to help provide recreation reading for students, their return would be much appreciated. These 31 missing titles from a total collection of 106 titles is a high record of which the student body should not be proud. The books may be left at the Main Circulation Desk and no questions will be asked.

Dinosaur Tracks
★★★
Now in Dyche
Two specimens of natural casts of dinosaur tracks were added to the dinosaur case in the basement of Dyche museum this week. The casts were presented by Lee Larrabe, lumberman from Liberal, who is chairman of the Kansas forestry, fish, and game commission.
BY CLARA LEE OXLEY
The casts are from the Jurassic or lower Cretaceous period about 120,000,000 years ago. The natural casts were formed by the hardening of sand which filled tracks left by the dinosaur in the mud. They show tracks made by a hind foot and a fore foot of the animal.
The casts were discovered several years ago when a road was being built near Kenton, Okla., in northwestern Cimarron county. western Cimarron county. There are no other natural dinosaur track casts in the museum but another case showing the actual tracks and several plaster casts is on display.
