DANDELION DAY Student Leaders Plan One-Day War For Lawn and Order
War is at hand. Invasion is inevitable. The enemy is waiting only for good weather.
At a meeting of campus organization leaders in the Memorial Union building yesterday it was decided that 4,000 well-armed students should eradicate all opposition in a one-day stand.
Dandelions—their army is our enemy. They are the ones who wait for good weather. They are the ones who bring students a day's vacation.
Vacation for a day—when the dandelions come. Two weeks, three
weeks, or four weeks from now, but vacation when they come.
The battle for the preservation of lawn and order will be waged and won in the morning. Charles Wright, fine arts senior, has been selected tentatively as commanding officer for the fray. He will organize 75 squads of 20 men and 10 women, with a captain for each team. A prize will be awarded the team bagging the most dandelions.
bags with dandelions. To make more pleasant the task, Jay Janes will serve Coca-Cola to the workers at the reduced rate of 3 cents a bottle.
During the dandelion-pulling, the students will scour the campus, bend their backs, and fill paper shopping
Afternoon brings a carnival complete to dart throwing, bingo, and hamburger stands.
Street dancing will be featured in the celebration. Oread avenue will be blocked from traffic, sawdust will be sprinkled liberally, and the bands of Clyde Bysom, Clayton Harbur, and the K.U. Coeds will supply the boogie woogie.
Inspection Trip Ends Conference
The thirteenth annual conference of the Kansas Water and Sewage Works Association ended Saturday with an inspection trip to the water and sewage treatment plants at Ottawa, Garnett, Iola, and Chanute. The trip ended at Chanute where lunch was served.
The conference started at the University Thursday morning. The last session on the Hill was the annual banquet which was held in the Memorial Union Friday night. Two motion pictures provided entertainment. The next conference of the Association will be held at the University in January, 1942.
Choose Engine Queen Coulson Reigns; Not A Lawyer
When Tommy Arbuckle, master of ceremonies at the Hobnail Hop, stepped up to the microphone Friday night to introduce the queen of the Engineers, the 400 dancers in the Memorial Union building ballroom were curious as to the outcome of the election as well as wondering what the law students were going to do.
Early Friday morning, someone gave the statue of the law's Uncle Jimmy Green a new spring coat—of bright green paint. When the sun came up, and the lawyers started strolling in to the law barn, they saw green—and then red.
Friday afternoon, Arbuckle and five other engineers came over to Green hall and removed the paint from Uncle Jimmy's bronze back with gasoline, but no one thought the incident was closed. Rumor was that the lawyers would try to kidnap the queen during the dance; or, that they would raid the dance with stinkbombs.

LELAND STOWE
Leland Stowe Here Wednesday
Leland Stowe. American war correspondent, will bring actual war experiences and inside facts, when he speaks at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday in Hoch auditorium.
Art Meet Ends Two Day Session
Time magazine says, "Take a poll among newsmen for ace correspondents of World War II and Leland Stowe's name would probably top the list."
Stowe, recently returned from war-torn Europe after following Hitler's armies in Poland, Norway, and Denmark, feels that England is the only remaining obstacle between Germany and world dominion. Even the United States will not be able to withstand the dictatorships. The lecturer who should be "in the know" has been covering the war for the Chicago Daily News. He scooped the world on three different occasions last April when Hitler took over different North European countries.

If your girl stood you up and your pet dog bit you yesterday, blame it all on theides of March, second only to Friday the thirteenth for unlucky breaks ever since Brutus did Caesar wrong.
The old Romans divided the year into 10 months, each marked off into calends, nones, and ides.
Ides of March Has Been Spooky Ever Since Caesar
The day before Caesar was killed he had a dream about soaring above
Caesar got his on the idees of March, and just because a lot of funny things happened the day before, the idees are known as real dynamite.

Also, his wife dreamed that their house had fallen in and that Caesar had been wounded by assassins. The arms of Mars, kept in Caesar's house rattled that night, and the doors of his room flew open mysteriously. Solitary birds flew in the Forum and a flame flared up out of a slave's hand without hurting him.
As you know, they beat heck out of Caesar next day. And, ever since, the idees of March has been considered an unlucky day to stab your
