If they'd measured all the years of Time with a stop-watch 1939-40 would cop all honors for having gone by the fastest; and that includes the finish, too. Alas, there's something too final about finals.
Yes, that's really Walt Meininger whose picture has appeared inset in this column for the past week or so (for the benefit of those who've never been in Brick's on week-end nights and met the gentleman in question). The "Man Mountain" has sworn he's going to have a mustache engraved on that cut—so the author will look as old as his brainchildren sound.
Between the Alpha Chi House and the Gatepost: Odd, that Beverly (Who's the Best-looking girl in the House and Why am I) Brown should be planning an early-summer marriage to a young Kansas City swain—albeit the tragedy of youth. Cokes and cosmetics come hard after KU., we've been told by since-wisened former femfashes here. And what of those sweet nothings you fed the lads at dear old Kansas, Miss Brown?
What ever happened to the contest to send a queen to Drake?
And as we make ready to leave school realizing we still owe close to a hundred bucks in this man's town, we begin to believe, after several vain pleas for aid, that money talks but it never gives itself away.
Every small town has its share of barbership economists, generals and admirals. The town I hail from has more than its share. One of these self-taught individuals was expressing himself in erudite terms one day when the word "Utopia" came up. "Utopia?" thoughtfully asked

University---give the chancellor and several faculty members a verbal "roasting." Used a Tent Once
With the erection of Robinson gymnasium in 1906, commencement exercises were transferred to that building in order to accommodate the growing number of graduates and attendants. Then in 1923 the gymnasium was replaced by a tent.
This huge canvas structure was pitched in that area now occupied by the University baseball diamond, and the exercises were held at 10:30 a.m. This was the last of the morning commencements. The heat generating power of the combination of tent and Kansas sun led to a demand for cooler commencements and the following year saw the first procession from the Administration building to the stadium.
The class of '24 "walked down the Hill" and the University came to know the value of pageentry and to preserve it.
Belgium Gives Up--people by radio that the situation of the British expeditionary force in Flanders was one of "extreme gravity" but that "there is not the slightest reason for panic."
The British press assailed Leopold as "King Quisling"—in reference to the Norwegian pro-Nazi leader Vidkun Quisling who was charged with Trojan horse activities—and recalled that the Belgian monarch is a brother of the crown princess of Italy.
Allies' Fate Apparently Sealed
But it was in Berlin that the news of Leopold's action was a triumph that appeared to seal finally the fate of the Allied armies—now possibly only a half million fighting men—in the North. Now, the Nazis said, there is not the slightest
chance that these trapped armies can escape destruction at the hands of advancing Nazi forces unless they surrender.
the economist-general-admiral, "Ah yes, that's the country Italy took over." Somehow, that man has lost his standing in the community.
To make good the promise of destruction, the German High Command hurled more and more power into the attack in Flanders. The dread dive bombers blasted at Allied lines in increasing numbers, artillery poured them ceaselessly and—time after time—massed infantry charged over the bodies of their own dead in an effort to deliver the knock out blow.
British and French Fight On
The trapped British and French armies fought on and Generalissimo Maxime Weygand pressed a counter-offensive from the River Somme in an effort to break the German trap, but it seemed that nothing but a miracle could prevent the speedy wiping out of the British and French in Flanders unless they can evacuate by way of the channel ports still open but under heavy German aerial bombardment. That, the Germans said, the British were attempting to do.
The German bombardment of the channel carried over to the Kentish coast of England, where British airplanes and anti-aircraft artillery were in action over a long period. The British Air Ministry said that yesterday the Royal Air Force had destroyed or severely damaged 79 German airplanes.
But on the fighting front in Belgium and in Northern France the German armed forces were crashing swiftly ahead to the Belgian coast, clearing the Allied troops out of all Belgian territory and—according to a High Command communique—engaging in the climactic phase of the great battle of Flanders.

GERMANY-Germans say defeat of Allied army in Flanders is only matter of days, and that invasion of England will follow. Field Headquarters reports Belgian army, numbering about 500,000 has surrendered unconditionally.
THE BALKANS-Hungary speeds mobilization, apparently fearing isolation by a Balkan Bloc of Rumania, Bulgaria and Jugoslavia, formed by Russia with Allied approval.

Military training became compulsory on our campus as it did on others throughout the country and all students were urged to sign up immediately. At Texas University on April 25, The Daily Texan ran this notice:
