SOLVES MYSTERY--at the sky, I was to see
come, and if not, stay home!"
(continued from page one)
"What was that," writes White, "a decoy? I have been waiting until I could verify the facts before divulging my whereabouts. Anyone may know now, but no lectures, please."
Police searches had been to no avail, but through the personal efforts of Sailer, a member of White's co-op house last year, the boy finally was located.
White intends to return to the University next semester after finishing his vacation. His biggest problem now, he says, is "dodging panhandlers and keeping my shoes off the stands of pickaninny shoe-shiners."

Band Members Play for Lawrence Co-op
A group of students, composed of members of the University band, entertained the Lawrence Co-op club and its guests from Theopeka, Ottawa, and St. Joseph clubs last evening in the Crystal room of the Eldridge hotel.
The Jayhawk Trumpeteers, composed of Herbert Mueller, Robert Cater, and Wally Kunkel, opened the program with Bainum's "Triolate" accompanied by Ian Scott
Something unique in the line of solos was the "Downfall of Paris", a drum solo by Claude Hall, member of the band from Shreveport, La. He also gave a demonstration of drum rudiments.
Billy Sears presented a baton demonstration, using both field and electric batons, although handicapped by standing on a table and dodging crystal chandeliers.
The cornet trio closed the program with two numbers, "The Thee Kings" (Walter Smith) and "The Banner of Old K.U." (Fred Waring).
Two members of the Wakins Memorial hospital staff will be absent from their posts this weekend. Dr. Ralph I.

Astronomy Open House
Storer Pours
With weather permitting Mars will be seen at open house tonight in the observatory from 7:30 until 10:30. Although no Hill band is booked to play and refreshments aren't on the program, Prof. N. W. Storer is expecting a capacity crowd.
Cloudy skies today darkened hopes for perfect visibility. Regarding a postponement, Professor Storer says, "Just look
Look at Mars
So that viewers won't come expecting to see too much, Professor Storer briefly outlined the features that probably will be seen.
Temperatures of over 70 degrees Fahrenheit are unheard on Mars and calculations show nightly freezes to be the rule on the planet's equator.
Not until 1953 will Hill star-gazers have a chance to see Mars at such close range.
A very light spot toward the top of the planet is generally believed to be a polar cap. Composed of ice, snow, and giant glaciers, the cap is comparable to either of the poles on the Earth.
Dark green areas, usually visible give indications of growing vegetation. Life as we know it is believed by astronomers to be impossible on Mars.
Eggleston Writes Education Article
Lyle Eggleston, college senior, is the author of the article, "Should Forced Absences Cut Teachers' Wages?" appearing in the current issue of the "Kansas Teacher."
Eggleston wrote the article last year while in that feature writing class. A condensation of his brother's thesis which dealt with a survey of the absence problem among teachers in Kansas schools, the article tells of the most common causes for teachers' absences, such as illness and accidents, and what the schools are doing to provide for these necessary absences. It was found that the best schools are using the accumulative plan of absence, allowing five days' absence a year, twenty days being the maximum number allowed to accumulate over a period of years.
