Naturally, that starts things popping, and the action from there on can be made by pissing him in and out of trouble first with his girl, then a Spanish bullfighter, and meet a ferocious nautile of a sailor who comes to a satisfactory conclusion, and the two lovers are reunited when Tommy tells her a secret which everything
It will be remembered that Virginia Ahn had charged of the clerestor last week that he was "in love" with "You Tell 'Em, Sam," was due to her able arranging and directing of the attack.

KITCHEN PLANNED FOR K. U. UNION
Sliding Partitions in Uppet Floor Hall Will Make Memorial Building Available for Social Affairs
Place For Dinner Parties
Money Received from Students' Fees to Be Used in Providing New Equipment Next Semester
Money received from the voluntary fees for the Memorial Union next semester will be used to install a sewer system. The building may also that the upper floor of the Union building may be used for small dinner parties and fraternity social affairs, Prof. F. E. Kindwasser, chairwoman of the Union building committee, has appealed.
Deficit First to Be Paid Off
However, in order that the work might be completed, the Union committee went into debt some $500, a debt of which they have collected the collection next semester.
Funds collected last semester were used to place a dance floor and install heating and lighting systems in the upper story. Since the completion of the improvement, variety dances have been held in the building.
The Union building is a part of a memorial, planned soon after the war, to honor the 129 K. U. students and faculty members died as a result of the war.

The Uncle Jimmy, Green memorial marker, and the Union building started.
Many pledges made during the drive remain to be collected. Consequently, the fees will be levied for only a few more semesters.
Students Requested That Fee Be Levied
Because collections were slow and the council was being put to only a half meeting, a larger meeting of 150 of the student leaders from all the schools was called last year. This body voted to request a new building, rather than allowing the district that the Union building might be fitted for the use of every student on the campus, rather than allowing them until collections could be made on the plaques made during the Memorial Service. "It is in the hope of the Union committee that collections made from fice next semester will be even greater," Professor Kindser said.

It was Spanish conversation, and not
English. The professor party had to be a talkative one, and
