Not Spring ...
Opinions on Soldier-Coed
Dating Problems Divided
By Roberta Burgess.
Spring is definitely not in the
air, but just the same the minds
of all university men do turn to
thoughts of fairer faces and vice
versa. Therefore the quite new
problem of whether or not campus
coeds should entertain soldiers at
the university was greeted en
thusiastically. The girls were of a unanimous
opinion, but merely expressed it
differently. Sympathetic Dolores
Ballou inquired, "Don't you feel
sorry for the poor soldiers," while
Barbara Townsend was more
frank and outspoken. "Great! I
think it's wonderful. Men and
more men!"
hetn Divided.
On the other hand, the men were
a little divided. According to
Hank Buthman: "It is a great
idea. I think the fellows sort of
need entertaining." But the Phi
Delts, actives and pledges, were of
the same unsympathetic mind
about the whole affair "No!"
Deuel Andresen yelped "A lousy
idea! And with the odds five to
one against us already, they would
have to suggest something like
that!"
Howard Chapin gave a more
sophisticated angle on the sub
ject, "It's all right, but he'd better
. . . But U amour
bring his gun!"
'Just Depends.'
Paul Toren expressed the view
of many of the fellows when he
said that "It depends on the sol
diers," and likewise Jack Wilkins,
who said, "Yeh! They can have
the ones (girls) that are left after
the university boys are through
picking." Frank Elstun, a fresh
man, was more frank than most.
He decidedly did not believe the
university girls should entertain
soldiers as, "The Lincolnettes have
done enough." But what summed
up the opinions of all the fellows
the best was Stan Scott's cryptic
reply: "I think it's all right, if
they don t carry it too far!
Okla. Expects
Tough Fight
From Aggies
NORMAN, Okla., Sept. 24
War-time is hardluck time for the
Oklahoma Sooners. At least
that's the way it is when they
meet their cross-state rivals the
Aggies.
And Saturday will be no differ
Despite Ruling L-85, UN Coeds Find
Taste-Fitting Campus Clothes Available
Complying with L-85 wartime
rulings and satisfying fashion-
mindeu women has caused havoc
in the designers' world. But clever
designers have come thru with fly
ing colors.
Coeds will show their colors at
gridiron tangles this fall wearing
sweaters that are the true colors of
wartime deeper dyes. Ever popu
lar corduroy makes a hit in suits
of pin-wale and the new wide wale.
Coeds sporting new flannel and
tweed suits will find jackets some
what shorter than those of last
season, and that the skirts have
narrower pleats.
In anticipation of heatless win
ters, fashion experts turn to the
practical as well as the beautiful.
Cotton quilting now takes its
place in skirts and jackets, per
mitting fuller styles.
For that special date, all-wool
jerseys are still available and are
beautifully styled in the new soft
lines. If you want to wear a hat,
you can find in this fall's variety,
a style that will suit you. They
range from the pan-cake hat to
those with stove-pipe crowns.
Seen in the dormitories and
sorority houses, will be girls loung
ing in house coats that are hitting
a new high this season just be
low the knee.
ent if the Ags have their way in
the matter. It seems that back in
1917 the Aggies won their first
victory of all time against the
Sooners, smashing an eleven-year
string of triumphs, 9 to 0, on the
Oklahoma City gridiron.
Ags Keyed.
This year's Ags unless 1941's
hardluck bobs up to threaten their
chances are keyed up to a high
pitch, and plan to again throttle
the Sooners' domination of college
football in Oklahoma. This time
to break up a seven year regime
as kingpins of football in that
state.
Oklahoma's Aggies lost a heart
breaker at Oklahoma City last
year, when they dropped their an
nual contest, 19 to 0. Tho out
passing, out-rushing and out-playing
the Sooners nearly the entire
ball game, they didn't have enough
fire to tighten in the pinches. And
Coach Dewey "Snorter" Luster's
"powerhouse" scored on lightning
like plays.

Second Scrap
Metal Drive
Initial Drive Converted
Historic Cannon to Scrap
Altho an estimated six or seven
tons of scrap metal have been con
tributed to the salvage campaign
by the university, L. F. Seaton,
operating superintendant, predicts
that several more tons of vital ma
terial will be unearthed in a new
campaign to be planned today at a
luncheon of the Lincoln chamber
of commerce.
Among the material contributed
to the drive was the Spanish
American war cannon which for
merly stood in front of the old
library. Made before the days of
good steel this was composed en
tirely of critically needed brass
and bronze, Seaton said.
Other articles converted for sal
vage were an obselete tractor from
the ag campus, brass plumbing
formerly used in the university
and another ornamental cannon
from the Curtis agricultural
school, which is under the control
of W. W. Burr, dean of agriculture.

Lifts on Kansas
College Field
LAWRENCE, Kas., Sept. 24
Shackled by their worst defeat in
53 years but blessed with indom
itable spirit and hope, the Univer
sity of Kansas started prepara
tions for their grdiiron clash with
Marquette Saturday afternoon.
In excellent physical shape and
profiteers in experience, the Jay
hawkers infused with strength and
courage from the big right wing
and foot of the sensational Ray
Evans were slated to go thru
strenuous drill sessions thmout
the week.
Evani Brilliant
Evans, brilliant in defeat, con
tinued his pre-season exploits last
week end by forming the bulwark
of the Jayhawks on the defensive
as well as the offensive. He
stopped thrust after thru.t and
his four attempts at punting
brought him a neat 46 yards per
boot, the last two rolling out in
side the 15 yard line. In the Kan
sans' rather feeble offensive, Red
completed 10 of 16 heaves, nix
of them coming in succession in
the fourth stanza.
More Concentrated Offense.
A more concerted offensive on
slaught for the Jayhawks was
promised this week with the re
turn of Gene Roberts, break-away
back around whom Coach Gwinn
Henry has devised a quick opening
scoring attack. Junius Penny in
stallation into the Jayhawk lineup
was the only major change this
week. i .Penny- has been outstand
ing 'in' his lihe backing play.
