American Column Puts Reds To Flight
Tokyo (U.P.)—An American relief column from the south smashed the three-day Communist encirclement of Chipyong on the embattled central Korean front today and put the Red siege forces to flight.
United Nations forces were slaughtering attacking Chinese and Korean Reds all across Korea by the thousands. Enemy dead and wounded Wednesday (totaled 10,993 and one U.S. division alone killed 149 Communists for every man it lost.
The 8th army's Stonewall stand at Chipong, 34 miles east southeast of Seoul, and Communist-flanked Wonju, another 20 miles to the southeast, slowed the four-day-old Red offensive on the central front to a walk.
On the western front, American forces were disclosed belatedly to have abandoned Kimpo airfield, eight miles northwest of Seoul on the southwest bank of the Han river, and withdrawn to strong positions to the south Wednesday.
A front dispatch said Kimpo, once the biggest and best airfield in Korea, had been so battered by Allied air raids that it would take months to repair. There was no indication that he was made under attack, although the Reds have been stepping up their thrusts across the Han river from Seoul.
The 8th army clamped a security blackout on operations at the big Communist east coast port of Wonsan, 80 miles north of the 38th parallel, where South Korean marines landed Wednesday under cover of a naval bombardment.
At last reports, the South Koreans had occupied Rei and Cho islands in Wonsan harbor without opposition and on the mainland drove to the outskirts of Wonsan itself.
"Security requirements make it impossible for the 8th army to issue or permit to be issued any statement concerning the Wonsan area operation at this time," the 8th army said. "We must mando-type raid rather than an attempt to seize a permanent beach-head."
On the central front, an American relief columns struck north toward Communist - encircled Chipyong from Yoju, 11 miles away, soon after dawn today. It ran into heavy Communist resistance five miles south of Chipyong in the morning and fighting continued on into the afternoon.
But the relief forces finally broke through the Red roadblocks and linked up with the Franco-American combat team inside Chipyong at 5:30 p.m. (2:30 a.m. (SP). A front line brigade led in "complete flight" and attempting to break off the engagement when the two forces made their junction.

The northward thrust represented the first sizeable UN counterattack on the central front since the start of the Communist offensive four days ago.
Barbecue, Fair, Mardis Gras Combine In Hawaiian Luau
Combine a Southern barbecue, a county fair picnic, a harvest-hand dinner, and a spot of New Orleans Mardi Gras. Take away the knives and forks, give everyone an ukelele and the net result would still not compare to an Hawaiian luau.
Such a feast will be given by the Hui-O-Hawaiian club from 6 p.m. to midnight Friday, March 30, in the Community building.
Hawaiian students from schools in Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, and California will attend. At least 100 kanianas (native Hawaiians) are expected.
The typical Hawaiian feast is just a friendly little gathering for 50 or 100 people with food for 200 or more served by torch light beneath gently swaying palm trees.
The Hui-O-Hawaiian club has planned for the laua since the beginning of the past semester, George Fraser, vice-president of the club said. Machiko Yamasaki, secretary, has received nation-wide inquiries from interested students.
The menu is quite simple? It includes kalua pig, poi, lomi-lioni, salmon, haupia, chicken luau and pineapple juice.
Kalua pig is not just plain pig. It is stuffed with heated lava rock and ti leaves, buried in the ground, and cooked for six hours.
The "lava rock" is not ordinary lava rock. It is a "aa" lava rock. This type must be shipped in from the Cluster of the Moon, a little place near Hawaii. The Hawaiian club would appreciate any donations of a lava rock.)
The pig is eaten without knives or forks, as are all other dishes in the feast.
The lhuai dish, poi, looks like wallpaper paste. It is made from the stewed and mashed sweet-potato-like root of the taro plant.
Fenders, Bumpers Damaged In Wreck
A car driven by Berd Karapoz,
graduate student, collided with one
driven by Albert Lawson at the
intersection of Jayhawk drive and
Mississippi street at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The right front fender and front bumper of Lawson's southbound car were damaged. Similar damage was done to the left front fender and front bumper of Kappoza's eastbound car.
No arrests were made.
Water is added for desired consistency. Poi is also eaten with the fingers, and there is one; two; and three-finger poi. As explained by a scientific malinih (visitor), the technique is as follows:
"Dip the forefinger of your right hand into the gourd of poi and, giving it a rapid and scientific twirl, draw it out coated smoothly with the preparation. With a second flourish, grip the gourd on spilling as you raise it, put the knife in your mouth and draw it out free from any adhesive matter."
Spoon-smuggling is not tolerated at a lau.
Haupis, a cocoanut pudding, is made thick enough to be eaten like a French roll.
Lomi-lomi salmon is raw salmon kneed in ice and mixed with onions and tomatoes.
Chicken luau and pineapple juice will top off the menu. Chicken luau cooks in crisped with chopper taro tops and served soaked in coconut milk
The purpose of the friendly island laua can be summed up with the palm rooftop. "Ua ma pang ea kao nlai kao pong." "The land of the land is preserved in righteousness."
Entertainment will be spontaneous in keeping with lau tradition. Thirteen men students from Emporia will fix the kalua pig.
Samuel Caldwell, president of the Hui-O-Hawaiian club said a major- one of club members are from Hawai'i but most students interested in the islands.
Washington — (U.P.) — The senate was expected to act today on legislation to provide $10,000 worth of free life insurance for members of the armed services on active duty after June 27, 1950.
Senate Action Expected On Life Insurance Bill
The drop in enrollment has created a surplus of rooms for men.
Enrollment Drop Leaves Vacancies
If any serious disputes develop however, a vote will be delayed until next week.
The bill before the senate is an amended version of one already passed by the house. It would provide free coverage for the period servicemen are on active duty and for 120 days after their release.
Mrs. Ruth Nash, secretary of housing, said Wednesday that there is an adequate supply of rooms for girls but good apartments for married couples are still scarce.
Keith Lawton, director of dormitories, said that the decrease in enrollment has reduced the number of men in dormitories but not to the degree to warrant any of them closing.
Several summer European tours are being offered to the University by the United States National Student association.
Offer Several European Tours
The N.S.A. tours fall into four categories: study tours, international tours, work camp arrangements and hospitality tours. In addition to these, the N.S.A. has either arranged or sponsored both formal and informal seminars at various European universities.
The study tours deal with a particular field, such as agriculture journalism or sociology. The work camps, which normally involve harvesting crops, road building and reconstruction projects, provide the students with an opportunity to enjoy the company of students from many countries, while spending a summer abroad.
The hospitality tours provide an opportunity for students to spend two weeks in each of three countries. Information about travel tours, one or more those offered by the N.S.A., is available in the Union office.
Foreign Students To Hear 'Messiah,
Foreign students at the University will attend the 70th annual Messiah festival in Lindsborg Sunday, March 18.
A chartered bus will take students to the Swedish settlement to hear the Bethany college oratorio society in its 192nd rendition of Handel's "Messiah."
Foreign students interested may secure reservations from the Dean of Men's office before Wednesday. Feb 21.
J. A. Burzle, professor of German, told students that, "A visit to the Swedish community of Lindsborg in the heart of Kansas to hear Handel's Oratorio 'The Messiah' will remain, I'm sure, one of the cherished memories of your stay in this country."
Students in Building Construction II class will soon visit the excavation site of the Union to learn at first hand the principles taught in class.
Class Learns By Observation
Don Fairhurst, instructor in architecture, said his students get a chance to build building problems by seeing constructions rather than just reading about them.
This year's visits have been to inspect the addition to Corbin hall and the construction of the new Delta Delta Delta house where the combination of wood and steel in one building was observed.
Forty Kansas social workers visited the University to hear Esthed E. Twente, professor in social work, talk about European social conditions. They represent social workers from state supported and private schools in northeast Kansas.
Social Workers Visit K.U.
NSA To Meet Thursday
The Neptune Student association will meet at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in 131 Strong hall. Plans for the year's program will be made. The next meeting will be held Thursday, March 1. Miss Margaret Haban, dean of women, will speak to the group at that time.
Music Old And New Given In Faculty Recital
By HELEN LOU FRY
Music of past and present composers was presented Wednesday night in Strong auditorium by Mrs. Janet Turk, instructor in piano, in her faculty recital.
Mrs. Turk's playing was characterized by excellent clarity and precision. The last three numbers on her program, (Brahm's "Rhapsody, opus 119, No. 4," Beryl Rubinstein's "Sonatina in C sharp minor," and Copland's "Passacaglia") contained difficult passages which were clearly and precisely played.
The Beethoven "Sonata in A flat major, opus 110" was the major work of the evening. In the six movements, Mrs. Turk played with good expression, and contrast. As was true of all her program, each note was as clear as if it had been set apart by itself.
Mrs. Turk has a pleasant, reserved stage personality which she exhibited throughout her recital.
Bureau Studies Hospital Needs
Vernon E. Koch and Ray R. Carmon, administrative consultants at the bureau of government research, have been adding much to hospital services in Kansas recently.
The two are assisting the Osawatomie State hospital in Osawatomie in the operation of laundry service. They have set up internal controls of operation, determined what equipment needs replacement, and systematized the flow of work. Recently they returned from a survey of the hospital.
Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, conducted a band clinic at the state convention of the Texas Music Educator's association, Feb. 7-10, in Galveston, Tex.
At the same time the team is working on a storage and disposal project for the bureau county office. The office has been unable to provide ample storage space for the volume of records it must keep on file. Mr. Koch and Mr. Carmon will publish a pamphlet of their findings.
Professor Wiley worked with two bands a day, each consisting of 110 members.
"Personnel Manual for Meade Hospital" is the title of a recent publication by the pair for the Meede Community hospital. It covers job specification, personnel policy and salary schedules.
In conjunction with an orchestra of 175 members, and an a cappella choir of 500 members, the two bands participated in a program Feb. 9 in Convention hall in Galveston.
Wiley Leads Texas Music Enthusiasts
The clinic was one of the finest he ever attended, Professor Wiley said. There were 2500 delegates present.
Start Program To Aid State Deaf
The combined facilities of the School of Education, the Kansas School for the Deaf, and the University Medical center will be used for a new program of training teachers of the deaf.
Kansas has had some type of school for the deaf since 1861, but to the present it has been necessary to hire teachers who have been trained in schools and universities outside the state.
Students having a bachelor's degree in education with either elementary or high school teaching certificates are eligible for this work.
The course is offered as a one year program. Students must enroll for the fall semester, and upon completion of the course and the writing of a thesis, he will receive a master's degree and will be eligible for certification by the conference executives of American Schools for the Deaf.
Lack of teachers is holding back expansion of the program to help handicapped children. At the present time only one fourth of such children in Kansas are receiving educational assistance.
Some of the courses offered are clinical practice in teaching speech to the deaf, methods of teaching language to the deaf, clinical practice in auditory training and audiology.
Former Instructor To Beech Aircraft
Edison Greer, former instructor in mathematics at the University of Kansas, resigned as associate professor of mathematics at Kansas State college to accept a personnel and educational training position with Beech Aircraft company in Wichita.
Professor Greer received his doctor of philosophy degree at K.U. in 1946.
Prof. Raymond J. Doll of the Agricultural economics staff also resigned at Kansas State college to accept a position as agricultural economist with the Federal Reserve bank in Kansas City, Mo.
Players To Be Initiated
The 16 new members of the University Players will be initiated Sunday, Feb. 18, and were not initiated last Sunday as stated in the Wednesday's Daily Kansan.
Billy Goat Splits Frat Into Pro and Anti 'Rid' Factions
By LEE SHEPPEARD
There is a new resident at the Sigma Chi fraternity house—1-day-old kid.
The wobbly billy-goat is about a foot high and has big, gray ever and white hair, which he wears in a sort of mussed-up c
In spite of his intelligent face, the little goat has been named "The loia idiot," probably because of his habit of wriggling his ears with blase disregard for convention. He has evidenced little interest in social and cultural activity—most of the time he just bleats, wobbles, or sleeps.
The Idiot's wagging tail and friendly voice seem to indicate a warm, affectionate nature. He gets his daily three meals from a baby bottle, which he regards with considerable suspicion.
Jim Howell, College sophomore, got the kid Feb. 10 at a farm auction south of Iola. Howell and Robert
Lacy, a former K.U. student, noticed three goats in the back of a truck. They asked the driver if he wanted to sell one. He offered to give it to them.
The kid's arrival aroused mey feeling in the Sigma Chi house, dividing the members into two factions. The Pro-Goats point out the Idiot's morits, and call their opposition stald and reactionary. The Anti-Goats, on the other hand, refer to these claims as impractical, dreamy-eyed idealism.
And while the argument rages, the Idiot just bleats, wobbles, or sleeps.
