Business Junior Has Pneumonia
Don Porter, business junior, who was recently examined at Bell Memorial hospital in Kansas City, Mo., has a case of pneumonia in the right lung. Other complications from a previous case of rheumatic fever are reported.
Porter, chairman of the Statewide Activities, expects to be out of school the rest of the spring semester.
A Russian color film, "Stone Flower," will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Friday, in Hoch auditorium. It is the first film in the free film series to be shown this semester.
ROBIN W. BOND, British expert on art education, will be guest consultant for an Art Education conference Friday and Saturday at the University.

Danila, the stone cutter, is lured from his bride by the queen of Copper mountain. In a mountain kingdom he finds a flower which combines the eternity of stone with the delicacy of a flower. He perfects an imitation of the flower but he is the queen's captive. Finally through love he is reunited with his bride.
"Stone Flower" is based on a Ural folk legend. It is the story of a young stone cutter who succeeds to the lure of a sorceress who offers him the key to perfection.
'Stone Flower To Start Series
"Stone Flower" is the first Soviet feature film in full color. It was awarded first prize for color at the International Film festival at Cannes. It was photographed in a new, one negative color process, which is said to achieve unusual softness and richness.
Heute (today) is a German pictorial periodical and is somewhat like the American Look magazine. He coye Ruskypf Slovo (New Russian Word) is a Russian weekly published by Russian refugees in New York.
The American Illustrated, which is published by the state department, has as its primary purpose to inform foreign countries on such phases of American culture as agriculture or night-club life.
German Reading Room Has European Periodicals
The German Review is received in both English and German versions.
Jokes in German, Russian, Danish, Swedish, and French periodicals and illustrated features on American jazz in foreign publications may be read in the new reading room of the German library on the third floor of Fraser hall.
It is easier to pick up a language by the tie-in with American advertisements. A student sees an American advertisement over and over and is thus able to read the foreign advertisements for the same product," Dr. Burzle said.
Among the periodicals ordered by the German department are Heute and the Novoye Russkvf Slovo.
Dr. J. A. Burzle, professor of German, said these magazines and papers give the student a chance to practice what he learns in class and laboratory practice. The picture captions and jokes enable the student to increase his vocabulary.
By comparing the English version and the Deutschland Revue, a student improves his reading ability.
Students may have the periodicals after they have been on the rack a week. Dr. Burzle said the illustrated magazines are the first ones taken from the reading room.
Allied Artillery Shells Again Fall In Seoul
Tokyo—(U.P.)—Allied artillery shells screamed into Seoul last night for the first time since the Chinese Communists drove United Nations forces out of the city.
British troops on the western front captured two Chinese prisoners suffering from typhus. It was believed the dread disease was prevalent amokn enemy troops massed in the Seoul area.
The Allied line plunged three miles closer to Seoul, and Allied troops dug into new positions only four-and-one-half to six miles south of the South Korean capital. The offensive has gained more than 35 miles in 15 days and the Allies claim they have killed or wounded nearly 55,000 Chinese and North Korean troops.
Fresh Red war traffic was sighted
The U.S. 8th Army said Allied forces were destroying a Red troop concentration south of the city in an assault which may result in a "sizeable victory, in terms of enemy losses."
United Press correspondent Richard Applegate reported from the western front, that tanks of "task force Dolvin" rumbled up the highway to within gunshot of Seoul and fired 30 rounds into the city. A spotter plan confirmed that the shells fell inside Seoul.
On the ground and in the air, United Nations forces were on the attack. Allied planes roared out in one of the heaviest raids of the war to blast vast hordes of Chinese Communist reinforcements pouring into Korea from Manchuria.
by airmen pouring into Korea all along the Manchurian border from the Yellow sea in the west to the Sea of Japan in the east. Airmen counted 1,350 vehicles in three main convoys. These included one stretching eight to 10 miles along the highway south of Sinujuij, Korean border town on the west coast
Bombers and fighters hit repeatedly at a key 100-mile long stretch of railroad on the northeast coast. The attacks were continuing on an around-the-clock basis all across the Communist supply zone.
But the greatest supply and reinforcement threat appeared in the east, where the rail line leading south from the Manchurian border—and the big Russian base of Vladivostok—was swarming with traffic.
The desperate Communist high command threw two new North Korean divisions into the defense of Seoul to prevent the crushing Allied advance from smashing through west of the city.
More than 90 warplanes of all types from B-29 superforts to jet fighters smashed this traffic Thursday. The air force described the assault as "one of the heaviest and most concentrated air attacks of the war."
Cause Of Train Wreck Under Intense Investigation
The 84th identified victim was Henrietta Bernhard, 22, a bride of only eight months who was returning to Long Branch, N.J., on the Broker's New York-Bay Head Junction, N.J., run.
The conductor of the train, John H. Bishop, said he had noticed that the express was traveling at an excessive rate of speed and was about to reach for the emergency cord to signal a slow-down when the crash occurred.
Woodbridge, N.J.,—(U.P.)—Seven investigations sought to learn today whether excessive speed and the absence of warning signals caused the nation's worst train wreck in 33 years.
Engineer Joseph H. Fitzsimmons, 57, admitted to state authorities yesterday he was going 50 miles an hour at the time of the accident. Fitzsimmons also told authorities he had read an order authorizing him to approach the trestle at 25-miles an hour and neglected to do so because there were no alarm signals warning him to slow down.
It was estimated $75,000,000 in claims may be filed against the Pennsylvania railroad in the Tuesday night wreck in which 84 rush hour passengers were killed and 500 injured when the "Broker" express toppled off a temporary trestle in this small town.
There was a possibility the death toll would mount even higher with 15 of the 121 hospitalized survivors in critical condition.
The Interstate Commerce Commission planned to open a hearing into the wreck at 2 p.m. E.S.T. in New York. State and County officials fixed speed as the "indicated and apparent" factor in the tragedy.
Fire Fighters Have Car For Teaching
An automobile has been purchased by the Firemanship Training program for the use of Keith Royer and Ronald Russell, firemanship instructors of University Extension.
Firemanship training is an educational program for firemen of Kansas. Traveling instructors are sent to any Kansas fire department seeking instruction in fire fighting methods.
The program is directed by University Extension in cooperation with the State Board for Vocational Education and the State Firemen's association.
The Flag's Norway, Brother, Not Texas
A small flag with a single star, worn on the coat lapel of the new doctor at Watkins hospital makes students wonder if a Texan has come to Kansas. The doctor's blonde hair, blue eyes, smiling face, and confident manner are still more convincing that a Lone Star state man has come to the wheat country.
But when he introduces himself one gets a surprise. "Tm Dr. Ule B Styri. My home is in Oslo, Norway." Another surprise is that Dr. Styri does not have an accent. Although England and England in England, he doesn't have the british accent. Nor does he have a Norwegian accent.
Dr. Styri arrived in the United States just a week ago and began his work in the hospital Feb. 3 as a full-time staff member.
Returning to Norway, he did private practice for six months and then did graduate, resident work in surgery, pathology, internal medicine, and clinical medicine at various hospitals.
When Dr. Floyd Santner of the Watkins hospital staff was called into service, Dr. Cauteson was faced with the problem of finding another doctor. He appealed to the director of the Oslo hospital, who chose Dr. Stryli to come to America for six months.
He completed his work for a degree after the war and took additional training at National hospital, Queen's Square, London.
What was his reason for coming to K.U.? Dr. Styri explained that while working at the Municipal hospital in Oslo last summer, he met Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of University health service.
Completing high school and a RO-TC course, Dr. Styri went to college and medical school and spent his summers as an artillery officer. The invasion and occupation of Norway by the Nazi army in World War II ended his work as an army officer. Because of his medical training he was required by the Nazis to work in a clinic. There he treated his countrymen and assisted with the
Dr. Styri said, "I like the United States, and I am sure that I will like it more after I have been here longer. Since my parents are farmers, I'm sure that I will especially like this farming section of the country."
Oh, the flag? Dr. Styri explained that the lapel pin was given to him when he became a member of a students' rowing club. "I am going to miss the fun of arowing contest while I'm here in the Middle West," he said.
treatment of some 72,000 Russian prisoners of war.
Extension Examination Tests Planned
A new co-operative plan for administration of supervised final examinations has been established by the correspondence study divisions of the five Kansas state supported schools.
Miss Ruth Kenney, director of correspondence study, said the students taking high school courses may continue to take finals under the high school principals who approved the course or courses.
For the final in a college-level course there will be a uniform procedure for administration. Besides K.U., participants in the plan are Kansas State college, and Pittsburg, Emporia and Fort Hays state colleges.
Final examinations will be given only under the supervision of a member of the Extension staff of one of the five state schools, or in the office of the dean or registrar of the school which is to accept the credit toward a degree.
Final examinations will be supervised any Saturday morning at any state schools and at the University of Kentucky in a tension center, Miss Kenney, said.
The plan also establishes 28 centers throughout the state where correspondence students may take their finals. These are located to limit student travel. Testing will be offered at each center on the second and fourth Saturday mornings in May, August and September; on the second Saturday morning of March, April, June, July, November, January, and February.
The University will be responsible for supervision of testing centers in Lawrence, Wichita, Kansas City, Horton, Topeka, Garden City, Dodge City, Pratt, Liberal and Hutchinson.
Additions To Museum
New examples of European art and a selection of sculpture were featured at the recent opening of the remodeled main floor galleries of the University Museum of Art.
Also featured at the museum is the one-month showing of a painting by Paola Veronese, sixteenth century Venetian painter, "The Finding of Moses." This picture is a second replica by Veronese of the famous canvas painted for King Phillip II of Spain, according to John Maxon, director of the museum. The first replica, which was purchased from the Hermitage in Leningrad, is on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
Many recent accessions of the museum are on display. Among these are an 18th century English portrait by Sir William Hoare, a figure by Bernardo Strozi, and the "Rest of the Holy Family among Sunflowers on the Flight into Egypt," by S. Bourdon.
The east gallery of the museum contains the museum's growing collection of sculpture. Three new additions to the permanent collection are on view. These include a marble bust of a member of the Bourbon family made in France about 1730 and a pair of life-sized 18th century German statues of two wise men in painted lindenwood.
