175 GIRLS COME—
queen and the presentation of the awards to the group making the most points. Virginia Larson of Shawnee Mission was chosen posture queen and Delores Yazza of Liberty Memorial High School, Lawrence, placed second. Judges of the contest were teachers from the high schools represented.
Miss Joie Stapleton, W.A.A. adviser, and Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, supervised the day's activities.
Schools represented at the Play Day were Rosedale, Argentine, Shawnee Mission, Wyandotte, Iola, Leavenworth, Atchison, Lawrence, Oread, Junior College of Kansas City, Kan., and Ottawa.
R.O.T.C. Ready—
The classroom inspection of each class will be divided into two periods, one 50 minutes and one 45 minutes long. Each of these periods will be divided into two sections, with a change of men for each section.
The regimental inspection Wednesday afternoon will be the most colorful part of the inspection. The unit will fall in on the ground north of Fowler shops and will march from there to the intramural field south of Marvin hall. There the regiment will pass in review, then open ranks for the inspection.
TAKE OVER HILL—
ter all through the most strenuous games—deaf-inately.
They were cute. Cuter when they didn't know that they were being watched but sometimes very unlady-like until they felt the sharp gaze of masculine onlookers.
- Each team was tagged with a certain color of ribbon and between the different events they ran helter-skelter from somewhere to nowhere in particular. It was play Day and why should they conform to rules of discipline?
No Peace At All
Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, and her many assistants were nearly carried off by the don't-care-where we're going—but we're-on-the-tway attitude of the sweet sixteens. They asked for peace and there was no peace. They blew whistles but none would be whistled. They hurled shushes over the loud-speaker in the gym but the mob wouldn't be shushed.
The noon meal didn't even quiet
them down. No, they just must sing their school songs—and they did, then they went down the middle of the street squeaking away on school yells. The spoils of the war are many and in the debris may be found Miss Hoover and helpers.
After a solid noon meal that consisted of Italian spaghetti, baked potatoes, green beans and peach cobbler, and after the aforementioned attempt at square dancing they tried throwing darts, played deck tennis, shufflboard, horseshoes, ring toss, hopscotch, table tennis, and gobs of other things that by the time Play Day was over at 4 p.m. it was a tired and dirty batch of shorts and slacks that wandered away from the gym.
RIDE 60 MILES—
on their journey to the capitol. Friday night men and horses were quartered at Vinewood tavern and Vinewood stables just north of Lake Shawnee. The girls stayed at the Y. W.C.A.
The group was accompanied by E. B. DeGroot, jr., assistant physical education professor, and Gayle Mott, owner of Mott Academy.
It was Dandelion day in the city of Lawrence today.
Lawrence Picks Dandelions Too
The Junior Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of the Lawrence campaign, asked every citizen to co-operate by eradicating the plants in his own neighborhood.
Tickets to the Granada theater were awarded to boys and girls below high school age who dug and delivered the largest amounts of dandelions to the theater before one o'clock this afternoon. Jaycee members were present to weigh and haul away the collected plants. A one and one-half ton truck was completely filled.
Calling the festival a complete success, Paul Rogers, chairman of the Jaycee committee, said it might become an annual affair.
MT. PLEASANT, Mich—The word "ain't" is as inevitably American as booing the Brooklyn Dodgers and marks a distinct contribution to the English language, says Prof. E. C. Beck of Central State Teachers College.

Honor Man Leaves For Army Soon
C. H. Mullen, University of Kansas's 1941 Honor Man, will report for active duty as a private in the United States Army at the end of the present semester.
Mullen is a second year law student from Marion where he has a local draft number of 16.
In addition to his study of law, Mullen is alos head proctor of the three men's co-operative dormitories, Battenfeld, Carruth and Templin.
That is the position in which Wednesday's peace hand bill finds itself at present—orphaned by its originators.
The hand bill nobody wrote.
During his undergraduate days in the college Mullen majored in political science and was elected, appointed, or selected for more than 25 major campus offices and honorary organizations. Most outstanding among his numerous accomplishments are election as president of the Men's Student Council in 1939, Phi Beta Kappa, Chief Sachem, chairman ofthe Students State Wide Activities Committee, and Rhodes Scholar nominee from the University.
Peace Leaflet Abandoned by Originators
The bill was distributed to students on Dandelion Day advising "Students to Think." "We want more Dandelion Days and fewer Poppy days" was the theme of the leaflet which was circulated in conjunction with the International Peace Day Wednesday.
It is thought the group consists of both students and members of the faculty, and that they provided the funds for publication of the sheets
with year-round utility.

Journalists to Hear Foreign Correspondent at K.C.
Several members of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity, will go to Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday night to hear a talk on "Germany Today," by William L. Shirer, well known European correspondent.
"Don Giovani" Given In Music Room
A good-sized group of music-lovers was present at the music room in the Memorial Union building Friday night to hear the complete recordings of the music from the opera, "Don Giovanni."
The program, three hours in length, was enthusiastically received by the audience. This will probably result in several more similar programs in the near future.
Early Birds Library Gives Them a Break
So many students get up with the sun and trudge across campus at 7 or 7:30 that the library sees a need for earlier service.
Since librarians are not such early birds, instead of opening the building sooner they will place a locked box outside the main entrance in which reserve books may be deposited in the morning. The contents will be removed when the library opens at 8 o'clock.
Light scattered showers tonight and Sunday; slightly warmer tonight.
THE WEATHER
This service will begin tomorrow morning.
