Eisenhower Speaker
Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, president of Kansas State College and
brother of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, delivered the commencement address. He spoke on the
present war situation and declared
that world democracy "will not be
achieved in our time."
Mutual understanding, Dr. Eisenhower said, "is the cement which
must be used to build the foundations of world democracy. That
cement is a compound of two elements: a physical communications
system, along which accurate information, and ideas flow freely.
It consists of tangible things like
newspapers, radios, airplanes . . .
the other consists of intangible
things such as value, judgments,
and basic mental processes which
yield comprehension and wisdom."

Allied air forces, dropping death on

Formal Protest
The action followed a formal pro
test against the name, made to Gov.
Simeon Willis by a group of Lexington women recently, and came
within a few hours after a legal
opinion from Attorney General
S. Dummit that "the name of
the laboratory should be changed

A telegram from J. C. Galvin,
ner-Gre- n,

The summer quarter of the University opened with the lowest enrollment since World War L The
unofficial tabulation is approximately 869 students, with the ratio of
women to men Judged to be 5 to 1.
The enrollment for the spring
quarter was 1,291, which was considered lo wat the time. Compared
with the 1,065 students who signed
up for summer quarter work in 1943,
a steady decline of about 20 per cent
has been tabulated.
ASTP Men
Approximately 160 to 180 A.S.TJ.
men remain on the campus. The
teachers who are attending classes
in the Education College increase
the enrollment to 40. The college
heretofore has led the other colleges
during the summer quarter, but this
is not true at the present.
The other colleges are credited
with the following number of stu
dents: Commerce, 60; Law, 65;
Agriculture, 40, and Engineering, 50.
The number of students enrolled in
Arts and Sciences college has not
yet been calculated.
The normal
number of graduate students in the
University is down to a minimum.
Halls Open
Five residence halls are remaining
open. Jewell hall is housing 113
students and the fraternity houses
are filled to capacity, with Sigma
Chi, 21; Sigma Nu, 24; and SAE, 23.
The Lydia Brown house is accom

Redecorated
The regular womens' dormitories,
Patterson and Boyd halls, are being
made ready for the students in the
fall, as the fraternity houses are
being turned back to the men, and
will be closed for the duration.
