Garich Selected
★★★
To Edit Owl
Ed Garich, college junior, will take over the editor's post of the Sour Owl, campus humor magazine, as a result of his selection by Sigma Delta Chi, national honorary journalism fraternity, at a meeting held yesterday in the journalism building.
Garich fills the position vacated by Reginald Buxton, who left school at the semester to take a job on the Caldwell Daily News. He will serve for the rest of the year. Jason Yordy will continue in his present position as business manager of the publication.
The year 1940 with its political campaign and conscription will be remembered in history as the time of the big blow and the little draft.

Pro Gridder To Ask War Funds Here
Football is another sport being capitalized to raise money for British relief.
John L. McLaughry, quarterback for the New York football Giants, and former star at Brown University, will visit Lawrence this month driving an ambulance in the "Thumbs Up" cavalcade of the British American Ambulance Corps.
McLaughry played at Brown University under his father, who resigned as coach there this year. He was rated an All-East back as a senior, and is one of five New York Giant football player driving ambulances for the drive.
Money may be donated to the fund at the Journal-World and the city clerk's office. Donors will be asked to sign a "declaration of faith" at the time they make their contributions. These declaration sheets will be collected from all over the United States and bound into a book to be sent to England.
The campaign is being conducted to raise funds for the purchase of airplane ambulances needed to rescue fliers and seaman from waters adjacent to England. Mayor C. B. Russell has been asked to arrange an escort through Lawrence for the ambulance.
The aerial ambulances to be purchased will be twin-motored Grumman amphibians with a cruising speed of 180 miles per hour. Carrying a crew of a pilot, co-pilot, and one attendant, they will accommodate four stretcher cases and two sit-up cases. They will be painted white with red crosses underneath but will be camouflaged on top and will carry standard British radio equipment. The cost of these machines will be $67,000.

Kansas Enjoys Second Best Year In Oil Production
Oil production for 1940 in Kansas had its second best year according to a report released by the Kansas Geological Survey office of the University.
In 1940 Kansas porduced 64,944,904 barrels of oil; 5,782,224 more than in 1939 and more than 23,000,000 barrels above the production in 1930. Last year was topped only by production in 1937 when 70,761,000 barrels of oil were taken from Kansas wells.

AS WE SEE IT—
(continued from page four)
club meets another league member and such a situation is certain to detract interest if not attendance from one affair or the other. . . . Only contest actually affected, however, should be the Missouri-Oklahoma clash in Columbia. . . . Kansas and Kansas State, the two other nearest schools will be on the road at Lincoln and Ames respectively.
