Lost One, Gained One—
Chancellor Approves
Endorse WSSF Drive For Funds
Faculty members today whole-heartedly endorsed the World's Student Service Fund drive currently being conducted on the campus.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott in a statement released today said: "With almost world-wide disruption of higher education, it devolves upon us, relatively undisturbed as we are planning our own futures, to aid our fellow-students in the beleagured citadels of learning in both Asia and Europe."
The University's quota of $1,000 is only a part of a total sum of $100,000 which the International Student Service and Intercollegiate Christian Council organizations are attempting to raise nationally.
The fund, to be divided between Chinese and European projects, will be used principally for educational advancement. However, a portion of the funds will be devoted to outright relief work among the needy.
A small sum from the fund will be (continued to page eight)
John J. O. Moore, Y.M.C.A. secretary and member of the drive's directing committee, also appealed for the cooperation of both the student and faculty bodies. Moore said: "This is a cause which should appeal to every man and woman, faculty member or student, in the University. It is a non-sectarian, non-political cause."
Jim Burdge, college junior, has been appointed dance manager for the coming year. He will succeed Fred Littioy, third year law, who
Moore continued: "I can see three reasons why the drive should be supported. First, it is for the benefit of a group of people very much like ourselves, secondly, the old Quaker saying 'It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness' was never more appropriate, and finally a single dollar donated today may assure the peace of tomorrow."
Jim Burdge New Dance Manager
has held the position of dance manager for the past two years.
At a meeting in Henry Werner's office Friday afternoon, representatives from both the MSC and WS-GA selected Burdge, who recently lost the presidency of the MSC to Bob McKay, first year law, in the Men's spring election.
May 26 Is New Date For Hill Recital
Gives Double Okay—

The Coronado Entrada, huge historic pageant to be presented as a part of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration of the University, will be given in Memorial stadium on the nights of June 5 and 6, Gerald Novak, director of the organization, said yesterday.

General admission will be 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. A small number of reserved seats will be sold at an extra cost of 25 cents a ticket.
Deferment Committee Appointed
Students appealing to their local draft boards for deferment from selective service will receive the assistance of the University administration if they are engaged in educational training for defense.
Yesterday the Chancellor announced the appointment of a Deferment Committee of three faculty members to work with Assistant Registrar James Hitt in determining qualifications for University men seeking deferment.
"The need is great, as never before, for trained personnel," said Chancellor Malott in supporting his argument for greater deferment of students.
"Students are urged to continue their education until called for by the selective service authorities." But he said that students should con-

Slug-Setter To Mayor A Softer Spot
In 1911, a linotype operator; in 1941, mayor of Seattle, Wash.
In 1911, a linotype operator; in 1941, mayor of Seattle, Wash. That is the story of Earl Millikin, who started out as a linotype operator and printer around Kansas and now has his mail addressed to the Mayor's office at Seattle and signs himself Earl Millikin, Mayor.
One of Millikin's early achievements is that of setting the first galley of linotype slugs that went into the makeup of the Daily Kansan.
This is recalled in a letter to Mr. Flint in which he speaks of his early days on the Kansan and how he wrote some of the first editorials and news stories published by it.
When Merle Thorpe established
the department of journalism at the University, Mr. Millikin worked on the Kansan as a linotype operator and printer.
Mr. Millikin was born at Oswego and spent his early years working as a printer on several Kansas newspapers. Following the first World War, in which he served, he abandoned the newspaper game for the field of politics.
