Girls In GI Boots Hit Of Tour
"The funniest thing that happened on our USO tour to the Far East last summer was watching the girls struggle around in combat boots," Warren George, Merriam senior said. "The students were required to wear Army fatigues and combat boots because of the lack of laundry facilities."
"I wish everyone could go to the Far East and see conditions there. You really appreciate what you have in this country when you get back," he said.
WARREN GEORGE
George, who sang and played in the band, was one of 25 college students representing 14 states chosen by the Defense department to entertain American servicemen in the Far East last summer. The group put on 2-hour shows in theaters and service clubs during the 8-week tour in Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan (Formosa), the Philippine Islands, Kwajalein, and Hawaii.
The USO handled the bookings for the group and Fred Waring acted as the group's backer. Mr. Wiring gave choral arrangements and loaned the services of Jack Dolph, who wrote the show.
The group rehearsed for eight days, eight hours a day, and gave eight shows in Amherst, Mass., before going overseas.
The group traveled 40,000 miles and spent 110 hours in the air.
They wore dinner jackets and formales when entertaining, although costumes were used for the various speciality acts. Each member

In Guam the airmen told east members it was the best show they had ever seen. "It was even better than the' Jane Russell show," one commented, George said a statement like that "really means something."
George said the thing that bothered him the most was the low morale of the troops. He said he was amazed at the dirt and smell around the camps.
Now Showing "Smiley"—"Apache Warrior"
In two summers Ceroge has been two-thirds of the way around the
world. In 1955 he accompanied a Defense Department sponsored group of KU students to Europe to entertain servicemen.
It is possible that this summer two shows will be sent to entertain, one to go to the Mediterranean area and another to Europe. As Warren has been asked to go back for another summer, he may be in charge of one of the groups.
Persons interested in participating in the trip can apply to the School of Fine Arts or to George. George felt these trips have given him a good background of show business, the field he wishes to enter.
51/2 Million Glassfuls Water Go Through KU Pipes Daily
Water—a lot of it—is needed to shortened from 11 seconds because keep the University in operation. "they were too long."
Approximately 350,000 gallons of water (equal to about $ \frac{1}{2} $ million glassfuls) flow through the KU power plant to the rest of the campus every day, said C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
The amount used daily sometimes goes as high as 750.000 gallons in the summer, due to the consumption of water sprinklers, Mr. Bayles said.
Water is also used to provide heat and electricity. It is circulated in six boilers which give off steam for campus heating and generate electrical power.
The boilers also provide steam for the class-ending power plant whistle. Though the whistle makes a fearsome sound, Mr. Bayles said it is classified as a "standard" steam whistle. It is 24 inches high and about 12 inches in diameter.
Each blast is nine seconds long, Mr. Bayles said the blasts were
Contrary to popular belief, the power plant whistle didn't come from a ship. Mr. Bayles said a steamship whistle was tried, but it didn't make enough noise.
Six 4,500 h.p. boilers are used to create steam and electric power. In case of emergencies, the boilers could be stepped up to even greater horsepower. Mr. Bayles said. Each boiler is taken apart, cleaned and repaired, if necessary, every 90 days. Thirteen men on three shifts are required to keep the boilers operating.
Water is bought from the City of Lawrence and stored in a reservoir at 12th Street and Oread Ave. From there it flows by force of gravity to another reservoir by the power plant on Sunflower Road. From there it is pumped into the boilers or to the buildings on the campus.
One of the oldest University Extension schools, the Kansas Fire School, will hold its 28th session Oct. 21-24 in the Student Union.
Fireman School To Be Held Here
Clyde A. Babb, University Extension representative and director of the fire school, said about 400 firemen throughout Kansas are expected.
Welcoming addresses will be given by Gerald L. Pearson, director of Extension classes, John T. Weatherwax, mayor of Lawrence, and John W. Miller, Lawrence fire chief.
Classes will be held in basic firemanship, pump operations, officer training, salvage and overhaul, administration, inspections, first aid and safety.
The school started here, but in past years has been located at Wichita and Hutchinson. Mr. Babb said that many firemen return each year to keep up on the newest techniques in fire fighting.
Pioneers Camp On Mount Oread
New England pioneers who arrived in this area in 1854 camped on Mount Oread until they established their settlement on the banks of the Kansas River.
the pioneers named the hill Oread in honor of Oread Institute in Massachusetts which was situated on top of a similar hill overlooking the town.
Long before students started climbing Mount Oread to classes, covered wagons traveled up the southern slope of the hill on their way to the west coast. Mount Oread was often used as a camp site on the California and Oregon Trail.

Gasoline
$1795
9.8c Per Gal!
No, that's not a typographical error...it's just a matter of simple arithmetic! Yes, it's logical that you ask: "How and where can I buy gasoline at this low price?" The answer lies in the type of automobile you drive. Ordinary "standard" size automobiles usually average approximately 15 miles per gallon.
The RENAULT
...Will travel 40 to 45 miles, at average driving speeds, on a single gallon of gas...almost 3 times farther than the ordinary "standard" model car. Assuming that the current price of "regular" gasoline is 29.9 cents per gallon...the Dauphine will travel an equal distance with the "standard" size automobile at one-third the cost for gasoline or a fraction of a fraction more than 9.8 cents per gallon.
Don't let The Dauphine's exterior dimensions deceive you! The Dauphine sets new standards in budget car comfort and safety.
