38TH YEAR.
NUMBER 71.
The Forum on Christian Youth Leadership ended its two-day session yesterday on a note of hope for the future of youth.
Weather Hits Youth Forum Attendance
The conference, held in the Memorial Union building Friday and Saturday, was called for the purpose of studying techniques and methods of group leadership and opportunities for religious and character training. It was sponsored by the Kansas council of churches, the state YMCA and WIMCA, and the University.
The forum was attended by 74 campus adult leaders and representatives of schools and church organizations in Kansas and nearby states. Attendance probably was cut down by snow, sleet, and slick roads.
Saturday's session began with a worship period, conducted by the Rev. Joseph F. King, Congrega-
churches, the state YMCA and YWCA, and the University.

This Thing Caused By Snow,Fog
By WALT MEININGER
And I'm falling in line and saying, "What long view."
I'm sitting there in the slush. It is wet there and I am sorry that I have pulled a small Brody in the more than somewhat soggy snow.
I'm getting up brushing, thinking how handy would be water wings for walking, when a character is walking by whistling. Whistling he is. And wet up to his ankles.
And this canary is saying,
"Tomorrow it's not being wet.
Sunday the meteorologists are
saying to be 20 to 25 degrees.
And colder yet in the night."
This cheerful citizen is looking at me and cracks wise, "Take the long view chum, take the long view."
So the guy is walking by me. Still pulling the trill business. I'm wringing out my overcoat. And wading home.
Is not being revolting enough,
this slush. Tomorrow is colder
yet.

Adolf Augustus Berle, Jr., assistant secretary of state, who is in Lawrence today for a stopover on a diplomatic mission to Mexico City, will speak at the special convocation in Hoch auditorium at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The public is invited.
"The University has been hoping for several years to have Berle on the campus for a visit and is fortunate to find him available when his duties are so heavy," said Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law, once a student under Berle at Columbia. Moreau was instrumental in securing the diplomat.
Berle was an expert on the staff of the American Committee to Negotiate Peace with Germany at the Versailles Peace conference in 1918-19. In addition to the peace conference, he attended the inter-American conferences held in Buenos Aires in 1936-37 and the eighth Pan-American conference in Lima, Peru. In 1938.

Central Leads Way Offers Marriage Course Happy Though Married
Students of Central College in McPherson are now able to avail themselves of the privileges of learning how to be happily married.
The college jumping into something new for colleges by offering a comprehensive course in marital relations to its first class of 21 enrollees.
The course include classes in teen-age relationships, planning for marriage, and the economic, psychological, and biological factors in marriage.
All of this puts Central not only ahead of other Kansas colleges, but also of the University, which offers no teenage relationship course, although requests for one have been made in the past.

One picture is a full page photo of Prale, shot just as he lifted Dianne Nelson, of Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe night club, and is hugging her rather strenuously. Miss Nelson is a most attractive girl, judging from the picture.
