"SAFETY FIRST" MEANS "WEAR K.S.U. BUTTON"
Policewomen Will Halt Students Without Buttons Friday Morning
SOLICIT NEWCOMERS. TOO
Dinner at Myers For Workers
Wednesday Evening Will
Start Drive
"Watching your step" will be the great little outdoor sport on the cannes Friday. Every student not wearing the little red, white and blue emblem that testifies as o his or her contribution to the Kansas Stadium-Union Drive will be "challenged" and subjected to a merciless examination before being allowed to reach his classes.
The scary part of it all, Mr. Engineer and woman-shy law student, is this—a team of ten women will be the special policemen who will act as sentinels. Ruth Mihalovski, Ms. Mihalovski will captain the special sound of guardians.
The "password"—the little buttons,
will be given to everyone who has contributed,
both in the main campaign
last fall and the "new stumph"
starting this year. The counterpart
will get back from the workers
you will get back from the workers
Buttons will be distributed as follows: Engineers, the Dean's office in Marvin Hall; Laws, the Dean's office in Green Hall; men of the College and other schools, the Registrar's office in Fusser; women of the College and other schools, the drive headquarters 106 Fraser. Complete lists of the contributors in the hands of the buttons, and new subscriptions will be taken at the office, by the workers among whom the 223 new students are apportioned.
Being without a button: Friday will render one liable to the suspicion of being a non-suscriber, and Friday will be "open session" on non-suscriber buttons.
All the workers of this new "backwash" campaign will work up enthusiasm for campaign on he eve of the first wave by a dinner Wednesday evening in Myers Hall, the location, which is named by the office force, the team captains, the teams, as selected in this new campaign.

The State Geological survey has existed since 1894, although up to the year 1907 it was known as the University Geological Survey. During the 1950s, this organization has been restored the utmost service to the state in gathering information concerning the mineral resources and geology of Kansas and distributing authentic facts which advanced knowledge of them and added in their disc
It was the duty of the State Geological Survey to examine conditions in the oil fields and gather information for the benefit of operators and builders and to invest in the search for more oil and gas. It examined the material in the vicinity of road building projects to assist in economizing construction costs and supplied to other state departments reliable data for use in planning, construction and the development and conservation of state mineral wealth.
Kansas has very important mineral resources although regarded generally as a farming state. The value of the annual mineral production in Kansas amounts to $164,035,997 according to "The Mineral Resources of Kansas," a bulletin issued by the State Geological Survey.

TWO FELLOWSHIPS OFFERED
Lafayette College Will Assist Chemists in Research
Lafayette College of EAton, Penn, has offered two fellowships of $500 and $750, respectively, to students in chemistry holding the degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, or its equivalent. In conjunction with the fellowships offered, Lafayette College has formed a Research Committee, obtained funds, enlisted the cooperation in certain active Indiana colleges, investigated of certain problems in which the College is particularly interested, and for which it has special facilities for work.
The particular problems investigated thus far are connected with the viscos and plastic flow of matter. The problems to be investigated are the theories of flow which are necessary to an understanding of problems in plasticity, as in paint, rubber, celluloid, and ceramics industries.

An the cost, three cents will save a life
for a day; one dollar, a month; and
five dollars until the next harvest.
Therefore this fund will furnish liv-
ing expenses to some 654 people in
China.
The big success in Lawrence was largely due to the hearty cooperation of Alfred J. Graves, e21, who handled the publicity, and Warren B. Cookeye, a graduate student in the dept. in managing the performances, "The Rainbow," a play which has been written by Miss Alice Winston of the English department, will be presented by the Chinese students of the University of Pennsylvania. It will also be printed in the next issue of the Chinese Students Monthly. Contributions to the relief fund are still solicited and be left at any time at the registrar's office or the
DAIRY COW WEIGHS ONE TON
Holstein at Aggie School Holds Many Records
Manhattan, Kansas. March 15—Probably the largest dairy cow of the Mississippi is Maid Henry Pontin, a Holstein owned by the Kansas State Agricultural College. She has produced milk that there is something to the theory that a relationship exists between size and production.
Maid Henry Pontiac won 2150 at the time of freshening recently, measuring 27 inches across the hips at that time. Following her recent freshening this huge cow broke the state record for butter fat by making 319.0 pounds a day, as record in turn, in his breaken within the last two weeks.
Maid Henry Pontine holds a high
record for yearly production of milk
and butterfat, making 18,777 pounds
of milk and 695.6 pounds of butterfat.
Standing beside the cow a person can just look over her back. She is 9 years old and has a daughter who is the largest 2-year-old in the college herd.

"He again asked; 'Where have you been?'
"I saw a look in his face I never had seen before. He was crusier and drunner than before. I rushed up to my room and rang for Bill. The potter,
"I was afraid of Hamen. I wanted to hide from him for twenty-four hours. Then we could go to California as the sweet lovers we had been."
"Mr. Hamon again called me, 'You' ."
"He choked me he kissed me, he threw me on the bed, and then off on to the floor. He kicked me and then kicked me again on the back. He pulled me up and threw me against the window. He twisted my arm.
"He shouted; 'I'll silt your throat!' "He saw a knife on my dresser and reached for it and said
"'I would just as a.on sit your threat.'
"I reached the window ail and got my gun, I passed him to get out of the room. I reached the door with the gun pointed. He dashed off the lights. In the light from the transom he saw the gun. He hit it with it.-the gun went off.
