League Of Women Voters To Convene Here
Two-Day Session Opens On Campus Tonight
About a hundred delegates are expected for the twenty-first annual state convention of the League of Women Voters which opens its two-day session this evening in the Memorial Union building.
The opening meeting will be at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas room. Two one-act plays based on the life of Lucy Stone and directed by Mrs. J. J. Kistler, and Mrs. Fred Ellsworth will be presented by the Lawrence league. Following this meeting Miss Winnie Lowrance, state president, and Mrs. John G. Stutz, president of the Lawrence league, will be hostesses at a reception for all delegates and visitors in the Old English room.
Two business sessions tomorrow will be devoted to adopting a budget and drawing up a program of work concerned with such questions of government as trained personal, relief, public health, and taxation, according to Miss Lowrance.
"The purpose of the League of Women Voters is political education of women along non-political lines," said Miss Lowrance, "It is an outgrowth of the suffrage movement and is the only organization whose avowed purpose is to educate the electorate."
Governor Payne H. Ratner and Mrs Florence F. Bohrer, Champaign, Ill., national representative, will talk at the dinner Friday night in the Kansas room.
The state executive board will meet at the home of Miss Lowrance this afternoon and Saturday morning for a post-convention session.
Student Sent Home;
Whooping Cough
William Monroe, b'40, left for his home at Fairview to recuperate from a rare disease.
At any rate whooping cough is rare on the Hill.
Dr. R. I. Canutesson, director of the student health service, said that Monroe was the first whooping cough patient treated by the health service since he has been with it, more than 12 years.

Call KU-25 Anytime
Tonight will be anything but social on Mt. Oread. The senior Cakewalk with Will Osborne officiating in the Memorial Union ballroom has captured already the interests of Campus socialites, and the calm before the weekend's burst of activities will be broken by little more than excursions to the library. Students who are afflicted with serious cases of spring fever, however, will attend one of the departmental picnics or open house at Watkins hall. But regardless of what they do tonight, students will turn out full force for tomorrow night's festivities.
Edward "Ted" Muller of Kansas City was a dinner guest at the Delta Chi fraternity last night.

Clever Turban Plays Dual Role on the Beach
Well, just to show you what we mean there's the new bag and swimming suit combination. It's about tops in ingenuity, too. Haven't you wandered about your house looking for a suitable container for your bathing suit often enough, only to give up finally and take it toward the sandy shores in a towel? Well, we have!
But one designer had the idea of the ages. She has created a dashing two-piece sun or bathing suit and a
And that's not all! After you've donned the swim suit, you take this same bag, unzip the slide fastener, and presto, change, the bag becomes a handsome turban. After you've had your swim or sun bath, you take off the turban, fold your suit neatly into it, zip it up and skip off home. Could anything be more practical as well as alluring. Incidentally, the outfit is best in printed cotton seer-sucker with the suit and bag both lined with oil silk.
bag of the same fabric with zips closed over the swim suit so you carry it neatly to the beach or the car.
Sometimes we just sit down and marvel at the ingenuity of our fashion designers. Where, oh where, we ask ourselves, do they get these ideas?

Hill Band Wins Summer Job At Estes Park
Red Blackburn will lead his former band for a summer's engagement for cowboys and Chicago millionaires at the Riverside amusement park, Estes Park, Colo., according to a wire received by Henry Miller, personal manager of Hill bands, from Ted Jelsema, manager and owner of the park.
The most coveted summer job for college bands in the Middle West was obtained by the University musicians after a competitive audition last week in which more than 30 other bands over the country competed, among them—Matt Betton from Kansas State, Dick Cissne from the University of Illinois, and bands from New Mexico, Colorado, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
Blackburn's will be the first band to play three seasons at the Riverside amusement park. The other two seasons were in 1931 and 1937.

Lamour Shifts Amour
Hollywood, May 9.—(UP)—Dorothy Lamour turned the tables on Hollywood today.
Returning from a vacation in Hawaii, Miss Lamour bluntly said "I have a new love interest." Most film colony romances develop, so far as the public is concerned, through the stages of rumor, report and confirmation or denial.
She said her new "love" was a tall Virginian, a captain in the Army Air corps. She refused to identify him by name because "He's in line for promotion to the rank of major," and that he had been her escort during her two week vacation.
The actress had been reported engaged to Robert Preston, actor, but "that is definitely off," she said.
