Parent's Day Draws Over 250 To Hill Saturday
Despite the relentless downpour of rain that pelleted the campus Saturday, 258 parents of University students attended the banquet held in their honor in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building that evening.
The prize for the parent coming the farthest distance to attend the University Parents' Day will be awarded to Mrs. C. C. Wilson from Meade and mother of Chestine Wilson, fine arts senior.
Also those parents having two children in attendance at the University and who attended the buffet-supper will be sent prizes.
All prizes will consist of a copy of the recently published book, "Across the Years on Mt. Oread."
Dr. F. C. Allen acted as master of ceremonies at the dinner. Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar, each spoke, briefly on the University and its new policies dealing with the present wartime emergency.
The University String Quartet, composed of Raymond Stuhl, Karl Kuersteiner, Waldemar Geltch and Eugene Ninger, Miss Irene Peabody and Joseph F. Wilkins, professors of voice, sang a duet, and Mr. Geltch played a violin solo.
Nadine Hunt, college junior and president of Corbin hall, spoke on "Student Aids at the University."
Preceding the banquet in the afternoon, the visiting parents were entertained at a tea given by the department of home economics and were guests at a style and fashion show presented by University women under the supervision of Mary Gene Hull, college junior.
Ancient Watch Still Ticking
Hinsdale, Mass. — (UP) — The proud possessor of a 120-year-old Patent Lever watch is three-year-old Hubert Jenks III. The watch, which was owned by Hubert's great-great-great-grandfather, still keeps excellent time.
Jewett Writes On Geology of Riley And Geary Counties
Something new has been added to our knowledge of the geology of Kansas. In a bulletin titled "The Geology of Riley and Geary Counties, Kansas," John M. Jewett, geologist with the State Geological Survey, describes the stratigraphy, topography, structural geology and economic resources of the two counties, an area greater than 1,000 square miles.
Riley and Geary counties afford a wide variety of subjects of geological interest, since the area includes exposures of several hundred feet of strata of Pennsylvanian age, almost the entire thickness of the marine Permian rocks of the state, a few feet of Cretaceous sediments, some glacial drift of Pleistocene series, and three exposures of igneous rock.
Jewett describes the igneous rocks cropping out near Bala, Leonard-ville and Stockdale in Riley county. These igneous masses represent the remnants of ancient volcanoes that dotted the landscape some 80 million years ago.
This bulletin which has been published recently may be obtained by calling at the Survey office in Haworth hall or writing to the Director, State Geological Survey of Kansas, Lawrence.

trucks; gunstocks (the British have plastic stocks on machine guns); as material for eyepieces in gas masks, filter boxes and valve guards. The feasibility of light, durable, plastic mess kits has been considered, as well as plastic helmets for parachute troops. Ammunition itself may be partly made up of plastics. Tests have already been made of plastic fins for mortar projectiles and plastic shells and fuses.
As the war progresses, plastics will undoubtedly become more important and many new uses for plastics will be discovered but the greatest development will probably occur in the years after the war when plastics will be applied to peaceful purposes.
Wright, Moses Back From IR Convention
Orville Wright, college senior, and Connie Moses, college sophomore, have returned from the national convention of Carnegie International Relations clubs, held on the campus of the University of Minnesota Thursday through Saturday last week. Both were delegates from the K.U. International Relations club, of which Wright is president and Miss Moses, secretary.
At the convention, Wright delivered an address on "Domestic Finance and Debt in Post-War Planning" before an economics panel, and Miss Moses read a paper on "Education and Propaganda in the Post-War World?" before a section on education and sociology. Both were voted by students attending, to have given the most outstanding speeches in their fields.
Wright states there were about 250 students from all parts of the world attending the convention. He talked with refugee students from Germany and Austria, and with delegates from Brazil, Mexico, Canada, and China.
The K. U. International Relations club started in 1921 in the department of political science as the "K. U. Polity Club" but its name and purpose were changed in 1928, when the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace began providing aid to such clubs. The Endowment furnishes books and speakers and other services.
Newest books received by the local organization are kept in Dean Henry Werner's office, but many older ones have been lent to the War Information library set up by the Men's Student Council in the browsing room of Watson Memorial library.
Sigma Delta Chi Meets Tonight
Bill Feeney, college junior, and newly elected president of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity, will preside at a dinner meeting to be held in the Old English room of the Union building this evening at 6 o'clock. The dinner will be followed by a regular business meeting.
Woman of the Year at the Jayhawker Wed.—4 Days
TWO ACADEMY AWARD WINNERS . . . . Spencer Tracy and Kathine Hepburn, both winners of Hollywood's famous Academy Award, co-star for the first time in "Woman of the Year," drama of a sports writer who falls in love with a brilliant feminine columnist—with exciting results! The story was especially written for Miss Hepburn by 26-year-old Ring Lardner, Jr., and Michael Kanin, the star accepting it as her next picture with the stipulation that Tracy would play the sports writer role. It is the latter's first picture since his big hit in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and Miss Hepburn's first since "The Philadelphia Story." Above, the co-stars find that there is a solution to the problem of career vs. marriage, after all...at the Jayhawker Theater Wednesday for 4 days.
Hospital To Set Deadline For Physical Examinations
All seniors who wish a physical examination should report to the hospital immediately since a deadline will be set soon, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, indicated today. Those wishing immunizations also should report at once, Dr. Canuteson said, since the period for checking these shots takes two to three weeks.
Robert Woolverton, college junior, underwent minor surgery yesterday morning.
