Hill Fraternities And Sororities Will Aid Britain
Checks received by Dr. A. J. Mix,
chairman of the local organization,
are: Phi Gamma Delta, $100, Phi
Delta Theta, $100, and Beta Theta
Pi, $50.
Phi Gamma Delta was the first organization to make a contribution but since that time other organizations have indicated their interest in the campaign by contributing to the cause.
Three Hill fraternities have indicated their interest in the local campaign of the Save the Children Federation by contributing toward the Jayhawk shelter to be located at Oxford, England.
Several Hill sororities have announced that they will support the local SCF drive.
The Save the Children Federation, operating under the auspices of the British Child Aid Committee, has been instrumental in child welfare work for bombed-out British children.
The British government matches every American dollar pledged toward maintaining these nursery shelters.
Particular stress is being laid on the nursery shelter program as a result of Henry J. Allen's visit to England where he viewed the conditions under which small bombed-out children must live.
The goal set by the local group is $4,000 as this is the amount necessary to provide 40 children with food, clothing, and other extras in the shelter for a period of one year.
Cooler tomorrow. Skies will clear unless a high barometric pressure area, centered in Montana, should take an unexpected course.

Campus To Have Twins--One Tomorrow, One Monday 'Owl' To Take Flight * * * Jayhawker Is Ready
All circulation representatives who are to sell the Owl on the Hill and will obtain their copies of the magazine at 7:45 tomorrow morning from circulation headquarters in the center of Frank Strong hall. Magazines will be delivered to representatives in the various organized houses at noon tomorrow. Provisioners Say "A Hit."
The campus tonight awaits its first glimpse of the new streamlined Sour Owl while more than 50 circulation representatives prepare to begin distribution of the picture-story magazine at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Crammed with pictures, cartoons, satire, and jokes, labeled a sure-fire hit by a selected group of student leaders and faculty members who were permitted to preview it, the new Owl represents an attempt at the publication of a pictorial representation of Hill institutions and personalities.
Keeping pace with these pictorial features are columns of gossip and satire, cartoons and jokes, and two unique Owl services, the dating guide which provides the low-down on sorority pledges and more than 40 frosh I. S. A. women, as well as Four Star Specials, which lists the coming entertainment attractions at the University of Kansas, University of Missouri, Kansas State, Topeka, and Kansas City.
Highlighting the picture stories in the football edition are three easy lessons on how to watch a football game, peek-in on a first midweek date, a pledge class walkout, and a description of the activities of the University's T. G. I. F. club.
Remember the 'Date Guide'
Published under the sponsorship of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary professional journalism fraternity, the Owl is headed by editor Betsy Dodge and business manager Bill Allen.
This first issue of the year will feature poetry, a short story, cartoons, articles and photographs. The guest editorial is by R. R. Maplesden, who in his former position with the engraving company that does Jayhawker work has had years of experience with magazines. He spent the past summer judging annuals and yearbooks.
