New Auto Finish Shown at Marvin
Students in the School of Engineering and Architecture saw demonstrations illustrating the values of a new finishing material, designed to eliminate initial wear from metal surfaces, during the lecture of M. W. Petrie, representative of Chrysler corporation, in Marvin hall auditorium last night.
The lecture on "Super Finish" was sponsored by the student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Included in the exhibits presented with the lecture were tests of the new process on metal and wood surfaces, black board work, and picture slides. Automobile dealers and garage men from Kansas City, Topeka, and Lawrence were invited to attend the lecture. Stuart Bunn, e'41, vice chairman of the A.S.M.E. was in charge of the program.
Student To Revise Map
The zoning map of Lawrence will be revised and brought up to date by Ralph Scamell, e'41, according to an announcement by Prof. G. M. Beal, professor of architecture and chairman of the city planning board. The project will be done this semester under CSEP supervision.

Addition of—
(Continued from page one) mark. This would put Lawrence into the class of first class Kansas cities and would necessitate some minor changes in the present form of mayor-council municipal government.
The primary changes that would be necessary should Lawrence move from the ranks of a second class municipality into the first class would be a reorganization of the wards and a decrease in the number on the city council. By state statutes, first class cities are to have one city councilman elected from each ward to serve for a period of two years while Lawrence now is provided with two councilmen from each ward. There would also be an increase in the authority of the mayor as the offices of city attorney, city clerk, city treasurer and police judge, now elected, would become appointive.
This opposition to annexing the districts on the basis that it will necessitate a reorganization, however, will be dropped if Lawrence citizens find that their city population runs over the 15,000 figure in the 1940 federal census. Should this happen the council will probably go ahead and pass the ordinations which will bring West Hills and the two other districts into the city limits before reorganizing the wards.
The industrial section of the 10-year census is now being taken and, with the residential section to follow, results should be ready for publication late in the summer.
The proposed annexation by Lawrence of the three outlying districts would mean a tax increase of $11 per thousand on all taxable property. Residents in the areas now paying the township rate of 25.87 mills would have to conform with the city's 37.46 mill rate.
The city limits of Lawrence now extend to West Campus road and the proposed West Hills annexation would affect two sororities and six fraternities. Those whose tax rates would be raised are Gama Phi Beta, Chi Omega, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, Delta Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Delta Upsilon and Sigma Nu.

R.O.T.C. Camp List Announced by Baldwin
Col. Karl Baldwin announced today the names of the junior men in R. O.T.C. who will attend advance camp this summer.
The infantry unit will go to Ft. Leavenworth in early June for a period of six weeks while the coast artillery unit will leave about the middle of June for Ft. Sheridan, which is located on Lake Michigan 29 miles north of Chicago, for six weeks training. $ \textcircled{4} $
Have you ever given this question any serious thought? How many years did it take during the past 10 years that you can still remember as great?
All men in the advanced R.O.T.C. course are required to attend summer camp before their senior year. While at camp they are paid the salary of a private in the regular army, and receive clothes, food, medical attention, and recreation free of charge. In addition to that they are paid five cents a mile for transportation to and from camp.
The following men will attend camp this summer: At Ft. Leavenworth: John R. Baldwin, Byron W. Bales, Dane G. Bales, Ward E. Benkelman, Donald R. Boardman, Jerald H. Boynton, Bertram L. Brown, Hugh H. Bruner, Robert L. Burns, Eldreth R. Cady谨慎, John S. Jacobson, Joe N. Perry, Howard F. Harris, Lloyd C. Heiberg, Lester L. Henry, Christian N. Hoffman, Jr., Bruce B. Johnson, James B. Johnson.
I'll venture a guess you can count them, on the fingers of your two hands. What made them great? It certainly was not just the outstanding performance of any individual player, or the fact that your favorite star was properly cast. It was the story.

ANOTHER OPEN LETTER
I often feel that it is possible that the motion picture public is jeopardizing its own interests by demanding big star names in great stories.
Why should it be necessary to cast "Gone With the Wind" with the help of the producers. The public demanded it, and the producers did it, regardless of cost.
Let's look ahead a few years, and see to what extent we will have to pioneer, if the motion picture industry is to grow. We all know the industry has only scratched the surface from a wealth of valuable screen material of untold possibilities. Their libraries are packed with great stories and biographies. It is unfortunate that our great stars are not suited to portray many of the characters of great stories with the result that these stories remain dust covered on the library shelves.
You can do something about it, since the story is the thing. Since we are all pioneers, in a certain sense of the word, RKO Radio Pictures are to be congratulated as pioneers with the courage to produce the famous classic "Swiss Family Robinson." They believe, as you and I do, that the story is the thing, and have given you the greatest adventure story ever written.
If "Swiss Family Robinson" had to depend upon big star names in order to see the screen, it would have remained dust covered on the library shelves.
When you see "Swiss Family Robinson," you will realize that the producers are only scratching the surface, and what you will see on television and America in years to come depends on you, since the story is the thing.

As yet definite instructors have not been received as to what officers will report at camp but it is expected that the entire instructional staff in R.O.T.C. here will go.

To those who fear the disadvantage of having accomplished little in four years of college, Dr. Walters offered a degree of solace. "No matter how you feel about the situation," he said, "you have done something which can help you get a job. Find that something, and put behind it all the emphasis you can when you apply. Use the 'yes,' but technique; for every trait you lack, point out one you can use to good advantage. This often works well in default of a good scholastic record."
