The KANSAN Comments...
Round-Up Days Are Here
Sunday means round-up day again. Not round-up in the old ranching sense, but round-up of the graduates of the University of Kansas when they return to the former tramping ground to get re-acquainted with their old friends and with their University. This Sunday, graduates of the University who live in Kansas City will be guests of the University students and faculty.
This program was launched by the Alumni Association, under the direction of Fred Ellsworth, secretary. To many, the program may mean another polite gesture on the part of the Association. To those persons vitally interested in the University, the idea has a much deeper meaning.
Graduates, when approached with the idea of returning to the Hill for the afternoon, find in the idea the added emphasis they needed to get them started. When they arrive they find a program planned to give them a real taste of their University today. Yet the program is elastic enough to allow them to revisit places of personal interest. It means that the spirit of the University is revived with each returning graduate.
To the University it means an active alumni group, well acquainted with the school. It means a closer contact with the persons who support the University in the long run of time. The program means contacts which support the athletic program, the Fine Arts school, the School of Engineering. To the University it means an organized agency of support, moral or financial.
The University of Kansas is not confined to Mount Oread. The University is universal. Wherever you meet a graduate or former student you are in contact with a part of the University.
This spirit is fostered by the Alumni Association.
Action Needed !
Already a big source of worry to independent students who expect to return to school next year is the rising board and room rates. So serious is the problem that many students earnestly fear they will be unable to complete their education.
A rise in food prices that seems destined to continue for at least a while will create a higher board bill. Students cannot complain of this as long as the rise is kept within reasonable bounds. People all over the nation are sharing this additional expense in varying degrees. More to be feared, however, is a big jump in room costs next fall.
By then the Eudora defense project should be nearly completed. Lawrence, which must house a goodly share of the workers, will join the ever increasing list of war-time "boom" towns. "Boom towns" and high rent are almost synonymous. Already there has been some evidence of climbing rents in this city. This trend has cast a shadow across the educational hopes of many a poorer student.
Students who can work but part time, or who have no spare time for any type of employment, cannot be expected to compete successfully in the struggle for living quarters with laborers drawing fat weekly pay checks. University men and women will receive a stunning blow should living costs soar as they have in Wichita and other defense centers. It
is time that preventive measures be taken in expectancy of such a situation.
The answer to the problem will be a difficult one to discover. Perhaps it lies in additional cooperative houses. Maybe better and less expensive plans will be devised by authorities. At least, now is the time to conduct the search for this solution. Prominent townspeople and University authorities should cooperate on a program to meet the emergency before it gets out of control. After all, the universities of the country—like its defense plants are also building for a bigger and better American democracy.
If homo sapiens is an average species of the earth's creatures in longevity, the human race that now rules the earth is still young with a mere 50,000 years to its credit. (ACP)
---O--the beekeepers found the bees to be from 25 to 100 percent larger in number at the end of winter. Also, researchers have discovered that royal jelly, a substance secreted by the worker bees and fed to the queen bees, is nearly six times richer in pantothenic acid than yeast or liver.
The human species has 500,000 more years to go, estimates Harvard University's professor of geology, Dr. Kirtley F. Mather. (ACP)
We'll bet the Britishers would rather see R.A.F. fighter planes over the white cliffs of Dover than bluebirds.

The Chi Omegas reversed their usual Monday night dinner program, that of the freshmen of the house entertaining the actives, by the actives entertaining the freshmen.
Anna Jane Hoffman and Wilma Milne starred in the knocked-out production, "Modern Cinderella goes on a Bender."
The men at the Delt house comment that they wish Betty Grable would hurry and answer Harold Van Slyck's invitation to their spring party. Everytime the telephone rings or the mail is delivered, Van Slyck is the first man there, an expectant light in his eye.
In other words, Van Slyck and his Delt brothers have the jitters.
A strolling through the campus one Friday afternoon I saw a figure thin and pale, swaying as in a swoon. His breaths came fast, and he was sighin', This faculty member struggling with a dandelion.
Louise "Hoomerous" Green, fine rast junior, made her formal debut in (of all things) song over KFKU Wednesday evening. Being a major in design, she startled her class-mates by the unorthodox behavior. She sang "Madame Butterfly."
The proverb, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," must be the basis of the Theta Margie Reed and (Phi Psi out of school) Bill Knight romance. So long as Knight was in school he was classified as only a casual acquaintance, but since he has joined the Naval Air corps and visits the campus rarely, he's no. 1 man.
It could possibly be the uniform.
Beaming, Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes walked into her History of English Literature class yesterday morning and requested:
"Class, whose birthday is today?"
Silence was her only answer.
"I say, class, whose birthday is today? You must know," she now almost pleaded.
Still she got only silence.
Miss Hoopes called fine arts senior Charlotte Loomis to her desk, whispered something in her ear and allowed her to return to her seat.
"Now class," Miss Hoopes began again, "whose birthday is today Miss Loomis raised her hand and was immediately recognized. "Why today is Shakespeare's birthday" she usually stated.
"Now class," Miss Hoopes began again, "whose birthday is today?"
"Why, today is Shakespeare's birthday," she casually stated.
"Correct," exclaimed Miss Hoopes, proud of her brilliant class in History of English Lit.
Bees May Be Drafted To Conserve Sugar
When War Production Chief Donald Nelson called for allout cooperation in production and conservation, he might well have included the honey bee, for this hard-working little creature—feared by many for its sharp sting—will soon play an important role in the nation's sugar rationing.
Since the rise of a sugar shortage for public consumption, the possibility of introducing honey as a substitute has grown less of Agri-
Since the rise of a sugar supply of introducing hone, remote. Department of Agriculture officials this year are urging beekeepers to increase their swarms and boost the 1942 honey harvest 50 percent over last year's harvest of 206,591,000 pounds which is equal to approximately 1 percent of 1941's sugar consumption. Swarms can be increased by several processes but one of the more simple and least expensive ways is to feed the bees pollen (which they have collected) in larger quantities than the bees themselves could store up. While gathering nectar from flowers, bees unconsciously pick up flower pollen on their hairy legs and carry it to the hive with them. This pollen is an abundant source of proteins and fats, containing vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates, and scientists have regarded it as a major source of vitamin extracts.
Aplarists in an eastern laboratory have constructed a trap to brush the pollen off the bees' legs as they enter the hive. As much as 70 pounds of pollen can be gathered each year from one hive by use of this trap. Then, by feeding the pollen back to the bees in more generous quantities than the bees would store it,
Beeswax is a valuable product in war production, used to waterproof shells, airplane surfaces, ropes, and canvas. The needs of the Army and Navy, running into thousands of pounds a year have been doubled, and to meet this increase in production apiarists will have to let their bees build more combs. This again will be costly since bees must eat 15 pounds of their honey to secrete one pound of wax.
With the rise of sugar rationing bakers and ice-cream makers rushed to the beekeepers to buy honey, which is only 75 percent sugar yet tastes sweeter than ordinary sugar because 40 percent of the sugar is in levulose form. The Department of Agriculture has listed honey among the 14 essential foods which may be packed in tin cans in unlimited quantities.
