UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
STICK TO BUSINESS SAYS DEAN BLACKMAR
Head of Graduate School Advises a Patriotism of Intense. Patient Labor
"Stick to business" is the policy all students of the University ought to follow in the present crisis, F. W. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School believes. In the following communication to the Kansan today Dean Blackmar sets forth his opinion: "To the Students:
"There can be no doubt that the times call everyone to patriotism, but this does not necessarily mean that everybody should lay down the work in hand and rush off to something new. It may mean that a person should be called to enlist in the army or perform some other public service, and it may mean that he should stick to the daily routine.
"There seems to be a kind of hyserical atmosphere on the hill that propagates rumors and false notions of things. Whatever sacrifices war imposes upon us, and no doubt there are more than a million loyal citizens to see to it that the social, economic, religious, educational and industrial life should be so far as possible kept intact. War does not mean the abandonment of these phases of life. On the contrary, a student must study his physics, chemistry or Latin as to enlist in the army. It depends upon the situation. But patriotism does mean intense, patient, loyal work. It does not mean loafing the University or at home. Now is the case to be industrious and patient."
This expression of advice is in entire accord with opinions already given due by the Chancellor and the University, noughthe number of the University community.
French Babies Adopted
BY THE WAY
Since Miss Elizabeth Fell's visit to Lawrence last Friday when she talked on "French Fatherless Children," eight new orphans have been adopted in Lawrence and most of the twenty-five that were adopted last year have been readopted for the coming year George O. Foster says money is coming in steadily now at his office for the fund.
Independence is the banner town of the state, for 117 French orphans who were born in France.
From Lawrence Miss Fell went to Topeka where thirty-six orphans were adopted the first day, and the number is increasing each succeeding day.
Plans are being made to enlarge and reorganize the committee here to cover the various needs of the community.
Swick-Richardson
Contributions are still being received. Those wishing to contribute to the support of the French war orphans call Mehdi F. B. Dains, Bell 1702W or deposit at George O. Foster at the Registrar's office.
Mrs. Richardson is a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, and of the Torch Society. Before her marriage she was assistant registrar here.
The marriage of Miss Emily Swick A.B.13, of Abilene, to Howard Logan Richardson, B.S.13, Cleveland, Ohio, took place at Abilene Tuesday, April 27, 1945. A.M.13, was maid of honor, and Russell Bodman, B.S.13, was best man.
Mr. Richardson is a civil engineer who heads headquarters at Cleveland, where he works.

CHEMISTS ASK WOMEN TO GIVE UP PLATINUM
This Valuable Metal Is To Be Used in Making Needed War Experiments
Exit platinum from its present position in high society! Heretofore it has been worn with pride by the wealthy, women of the country, for both the jewelry and a badge of shame, selfishness, and disloyalty, for, with the declaration of war, platinum, always scarce and valuable, has become of even greater value. It is needed in all scientific properties, and the scientific work connected with the war is most important.
The University men who attended the convention of the American Chemical Society have returned with a plea to all women here to surrender their platinum jewelry and to discourage the popularity of the valuable substance as a decoration, so that it may be used in chemical laboratories. The only ones that use crucibles are the only ones which may be used in certain experiments. Platinum wires are used in every electric light.
The Chemical Society discussed other modes of conservation and other means toward efficiency in the present crisis. The chemists talked about experiments on the silk used in Zapotlana leather, explosives, and about the ways in which the rubber for motor truck tires could be made more durable.
"Food control, so as to prevent such difficulties as the embalmed beef scandal in the Spanish-American war, will be called on to furnish food, and we may have to test it before it is shipped, so that the government will be sure to supply it at some time."
Thus far, however, the exact duties of the University in scientific work for the government have not been made known.
K. U. men need no longer fear cutting their hands, breaking their arms, or even bumping their heads, for from now on such accidents will be a good lesson. We should teach the gentle art of bandaging. The soft dft touch of her fingers will alleviate all temporary pain. There are plenty of nurses too. Four of them turned out for the second lesson in first aid work last night.

There are several prizes offered amounting to $100. Names of the prize winners will be announced in June at the commencement exercises.

High Cost of Foodstuffs Cause a of a General 50-Cent
Many boarding clubs in the student rooming district have raised board to $5 a week. Practically all of the boarding clubs on Tennessee Street and nearby streets have announced $10 club to $5 and $3.75 clubs to $4.25.
Advance
The club managers say the raise in the price of all foodstuffs has caused the advance. They cite big increases in the prices of flour, sugar, potatoes, and other staples. Practically all foodstuffs are higher at Lawrence stores than at firms in nearby towns, stewards say.
University students who were at the Emporia Normal school last semester say the rates at boarding clubs here now are uncalled for. The clubs at Emporia recently advanced tuition fees, and prized clubs charged only $4, while many after the increase were charging only $3.50 and $3.25.
In spite of some increase of food-stuffs, many of the fraternities and sorority houses, and with a larger expense of serving, continue to charge only $4.50 and some are charging less. Students who oppose the increase point out a combine of the managers of clubs and cite wholesale quotations from suppliers they say, do not justify an increase. But restaurants down town have all raised accordingly. Only two or three of the new cafes have retained their old prices. The two college cafes on the Hill have their old
