British Art Expert To Speak At Conference
An art education conference for school art supervisors and University students will be presented February 9-10 at the University.
Robin W. Bond, internationally known British expert on art education who is now lecturing and teaching in this country, will be the guest consultant.
The K.U. School of Education and University extension are sponsoring the two-day meeting.
Bond will speak at three sessions. His subjects will be "An Education for Creative Reality," "The Art Teacher and His Human Task," and "Creative Art and the World in Which We Live." He also will participate in discussion groups and be available for private consultation by school art teachers.
Bond, a graduate of the Royal College of Art in England, partl- pated in several of the notable com- munity educational experiments there. The William C. Whitney foundation brought him to the United States to present the results of his work and to do further research.
This is the second year for such a conference. The 1950 conference was attended by more than a hundred persons.
He has traveled more than 20,000 riles in the country lecturing on art education. He has been a visiting lecturer at Columbia university and is presently teaching at the American university, Washington, D.C.
Nebraska Chooses Eight 'Revue' Skits
The eight best Rockchalk Revue scripts of humorous activities of college life have been selected by the University of Nebraska speech and drama department, William A. Champion director, said today.
Fraternity winners are: Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi.
Sorority winners are: Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa.
The eight shows will be presented Friday, March 9, and Saturday March 10, in Hoch auditorium. A panel of judges will select the best two from each division and the winning houses will be awarded trophies.
Biographer To Be At KU Monday
Catherine Drinker Bowen, one of the nation's leading biographers, will lecture at the University of Kansas Monday. Her lecture on "History and Biography" will be given in Strong auditorium at 4 p.m.
Three biographies by Mrs. Bowen have been Book-of-the-Month club selections in the past 12 years. The most famous, "Yankee from Olympus," the story of the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, has sold more than a million copies.
"John Adams—the Story of the American Revolution" is her most recent work. It was June, 1950 selection of the book club.
Mrs. Bowen, who seeks to underline the lessons that history has for contemporary society, will use the "John Adams" story as the basis for her lecture. She will tell of the research and interviews involved in the collection of material.
She will tell of the biographical technique that has made her a best-read author—that of shaping and plotting a biography and thus humanize the subject without disregarding facts.
Roy W. Matz, assistant professor of military science, has been promoted from the rank of major to lieutenant colonel, corps of engineers.

Two frozen ears, a fractured wrist,
and a number of minor auto accidents have resulted from the coldest and snowiest weather to hit Lawrence this winter.

Desire To S Instructor On Cold, Snow Hit Hard Here
The United Press reports Kansas had its coldest weather of the winter today with temperatures ranging from 10 below to 21 below zero over the entire state.
The low temperature mark of the last 24 hours was recorded at Goodland where the mercury read -21 degrees but it wasn't a new record.

Enforce UN Actions Says Alf Landon
Topeka, Kans. — (U.P.) Alf M. Landon, 1936 Republican presidential candidate, said today that "concerted action" should be taken to back up the United Nations resolution branding Communist China an aggressor
In an interpolation made after the UN action, Landon said:
"We should make it plain to the United Nations that the adoption of our Red China Communist aggressor resolution does not mean that that is the end of it.
In an appraisal of the foreign situation which he prepared prior to the UN action, Landon called for UN imposition of "economic sanctions and blockade."
He also said that if the "aggressor" resolution was approved, he then would give lend-lease to the Chinese Nationalists.
"We should make it plain that irreparable damage will be done to the grand idea of collective security unless that resolution is fully supported—by concerted action."
Allies Plunge Ahead In Hand-To-Hand Fight

Landon endorsed the administration's decision to stay in Korea. He said Russia "is being hurt a lot more than we are in Korea."
Six C-119 Flying boxcars dropped 42 tons of ammunition and ratios to the embattled combat team in the Sinchon-Chinyong area 10 to 12 miles north of Yoji on Korea's central front.
Farther east, a Franco-American regimental combat team battled desperately at close quarters to smash an encircling attack by 6,000 Chinese and Korean Reds. At last reports, the assault was "under control."
Chinese Reds on the western front below Seoul fought as stubbornly as ever against allied spearheads, but American pilots reported that "large numbers" of Red troops below Seoul have begun retreating across the

By LUD RODGERS
The dream of every American boy to travel around the world was a realization with Dr. A. William Kuchler, new instructor of geography at the University of Kansas.
After two successive years at Munich Dr. Kuchier was again overcome by wanderlust and departed for the United States with but $4 to his name. Arriving in New York in 1935, the good-natured rover took a job as interpreter for the American Express company.
In 1933 Dr. Kuchler returned to Germany to complete his studies. He completed the work for his degree and doctor's thesis at the University of Munich studying under such outstanding geographers as Drygsalgi, Fels, and Schmauss.
Dr. Kuchler, who speaks with a slight German accent, was only a junior in college when he set out to see the world. A young man with ruffled, dark brown hair and blue eyes, Dr. Kuchler receives his training in European colleges, and came to the United States in 1935.
He attended the University of Frankfurt, his native city, studying under Maull and Behrmann and later transferred to Woodbrooke college, Birmingham, England. During these two years Dr. Kuchler became so absorbed in the countries he studied that he determined he would visit them.
With only a few dollars in his pocket and the incentive to work, Dr. Kuchler embarked upon a four year world adventure. His vacation away from studies took him to the West Indies, chiefly Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, French West Indies, South America and all through Europe.
Traveling by boat, train, bicycle, and often on foot he financed his wanderings by taking jobs in the various countries. In each place he saved up enough money to buy a ticket to another country. He spent nearly two years in South America and visited ten of the Republics. While in Jamaica, he made a detailed study of the country gathering material which he later used for his doctoral thesis.
Mrs. Kuchler is from Sauk Centre, Minn.; the town made famous in the Sinclair Lewis' novel "Main Street." The Kuchler named a one-year-old boy named Christopher. The threesome reside in an apartment at Sunnyside.
Prior to coming to Lawrence in the fall of 1950 Dr. Kuchler conducted a symposium on vegetation mapping at the annual meeting the American Institute of Biological Sciences held at Columbus, Ohio. For his research in biogeography he was made a member of Sigma Xi, national honorary scientific society. He is also a member of the Association of American Geographers fellow of the American Geographic Society, and a past president of the New York State Geographical association.

University Players and candidates, 7:15 tonight, Little Theatre, Green hall.
Dr. Kuchler specializes in the geography of Europe and biogeography dealing with the geographical distribution of plants and animals. In the past six years he has developed a new classification of vegetation which lends itself particularly well to mapping. Several of Dr. Kuchler's maps based on his innovation have appeared in major geographic publications of this country and abroad.

It wasn't long, however, before Dr. Kuchler put his education and background to work. He took an instructor's job at Claremont colleges in California. Settling down though was not yet a part of Dr. Kuchler's program. He started the trek back East again with intervals spent instructing geography at Denver university, the University of Wisconsin and finally the University of Rochester in New York.
