Sunflower Girls' State To Meet Here
During the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration June 5 to 9 the University will entertain its alumni, but from June 15 to 22 it will play host to future alumnae.
At that time approximately 300 outstanding high school junior and senior women and their adult directors will attend the annual Sunflower Girls' State being held on the University campus for the first time.
The Sunflower Girls' State is a conference during which the high school students receive citizenship training and work out projects in practical Americanism.
The conference is sponsored each year by the American Legion Auxiliary. A similar conference, the Sunflower Boys' State, is sponsored by the American Legion for high school men.
Provide Facilities
Six sororities and the Memorial Union building are cooperating with the project in providing board and room for the conferees.
The sororites who have offered the use of their houses for rooms are Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Omicron Pi, Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa. In addition the Union building will serve as headquarters for the meetings.
Each conferee attending will have been selected as outstanding in leadership and scholarship in her high school and her way paid to the conference by her local American Legion Auxiliary.
While on the campus, the young women will elect their own governor, legislature, and other state officers. In addition the group will organize into a number of counties with county officers and cities with city officers.
Among the problems they will discuss in their various government groups are schools, elections, sales tax, civil service, social security, health, taxes traffic and highways, police, and courts and juries.
To Discuss Government
Other activities provided for their entertainment will be a trip to the state capitol in Topeka, followed by tea and a garden party at the governor's mansion.
The University will sponsor a dance in the ballroom on Saturday night, June 21, at which local men will serve as dancing partners.

Marching Cadets Display Size
More than 600 R.O.T.C. students marched in the Second District American Legion parade yesterday afternoon in Lawrence and practically stole the show.
The regiment marched down to South Park from Fowler shops and thence north to Sixth street, west to Kentucky and back to the University again.
Lawrence citizens who saw the parade were surprised at the size of the R.O.T.C. regiment which has been much smaller in previous years. Marching in company order, the regiment stretched out nearly two blocks in the parade.
Nearly 100 tickets have been sold to the dinner of appreciation for Dr. Raymond A. Schweegler, dean of the School of Education, who is retiring from administrative duties at the end of the present year.
The University band led the regiment in the parade.
The dinner will be held May 28 at the Memorial Union building and all friends of Dr. Schwegler are invited to attend.
J. W. Twente, professor of education, will preside at the dinner. L. W. Brooks, principal of Wichita E high school, Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Dean Schwegler are scheduled to speak.
Dinner Tickets Sell
Dean Schwegler, will have completed 34 years of service at the end of the school year as a member of the University staff.
Umbrella Men Now
BY UNITED PRESS
The parachutist assault on Crete was first revealed in London dispatches which said that a great battle was raging on the island, present seat of the Greek government and location of the important British sea base at Suda Bay.
Germany opened her battle for the riches of the Middle East and control of the Suez canal today with a parachutist attack upon the strategic island of Crete.
British and Greek forces stationed on the vital island 70 miles off the Greek coast fought back, it was reported, but London dispatches seemed to hint that the Nazi assault might be in sufficient force to overwhelm the comparatively small Greco-British garrisons.
The London account said that the Greco-British defenders are expected to give the Nazis "a hot reception". The strength of the Crete defense forces is not known exactly but it is believed to be about 50,000 or 60,000 men. The island has fairly strong natural defenses which have been improved by the British who landed there shortly after the start of the Italo-Greek war last fall.
Program for Seventy-fifth
3 p.m.: Registration at Memorial Union.
The British Middle East command at Cairo reported that the German attack on Crente was launched by parachutists and "air-borne troops". The reference to "air-borne troops" would indicate that the Nazis may have sent over parachutists to seize an airfield in Crete and that Junkers troop transports quickly followed up, landing reinforcements.
