A-Bomb Talk And Exhibit Begin Thursday
University of Kansas students and townspeople will have the opportunity Thursday for tasting the impact of the atom bomb in two easy doses.
Capt. Carroll P. Hungate, senior medical officer at the Oatlie Naval Air station, will lecture on "When the A-Bomb Hits" in Fraser theater at 4 p.m. A large exhibit of atomic information will be on display in the lounge of the Union Wednesday evening and all day Thursday.
Captain Hungate has made the medical aspects of the A-bomb a personal hobby as well as a professional duty. Since he developed his lecture and assembled the display last spring he has become one of the area's most sought-after speakers.
In addition to his brief, slide-illustrated lecture, he will show several new movies. He will have "Pattern for Survival," for which William Laurence, science writer for the New York Times, prepared the script. Mr. Laurence lectured at KU. four years ago. Other movies will be "One World or None" and "How to Beat the A-Bomb," a new R.K.O. release.
The atomic information display has been prepared by Naval Volunteer Medical unit nine-four of Kansas City, Mo., and the Olathe air station, under Captain Hungate's direction. It represents an investment of about $6,000, and is probably unique in the nation.
The exhibit explains nuclear fission in layman's language. Included are the original drawings, contributed by King Features syndicate, for "Dagwood Splits the Atom." In the exhibit also is a model atomic pile and about 50 radiological monitoring instruments.
Panels of pictures illustrate the history of nuclear fission and show the processes of preparing uranium from mining to final use in peace or war. Pictures and drawings explain the gaseous fusion process of refining uranium, used at Oak Ridge, Tenn.; and the newer process for producing plutonium at Hanford, Wash.
Chess Contest Starts Jan.9
The first tournament of the newly organized university Chess club will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the ballroom of the Union.
with this tournament the club will establish a ladder listing the players as to games won and lost. This list will be kept on display in the Union so that players may challenge the winners and arrange games at any time.

The happy days for the spiders in old Fowler shops are gone. Workmen of the Constant Construction company of Lawrence started removing old pipes and preparing the inner of the building for remodeling.
"They started earlier than we had expected them, said J. J. Wilson, University business manager. The weather conditions prohibited work on the company's other out-door projects and they moved to the future Journalism building. On Tuesday, two shacks were erected in front of the building and work began.
Fowler Shop Work Started
KANSAS: Fair and warmer today with a high near 45. Low tonight near 20. Fair and mild tomorrow, high near 50.
Plans call for completion of the project within 300 working days, but shortage of construction material or other unpredictable developments may change this considerably. The building should be ready for occupancy in 1952.

Recitalist Has Skillful touch
Bv STANFORD E. LEHMBERG
The small audience attending the recital of Olin G. Parker, clarinetist, Sunday afternoon was rewarded with something of a novelty to give new edge to jaded musical appetites.
Mr. Parker exhibited excellent breath control, and a fluid finger technique. His tone quality was opaque, piercing, and reminiscent of the dry-as-powder reeds of French organs. Perhaps because of a troublesome pad, low tones were occasionally fuzzy in tone; notes in the clarion register were bright and clear.
Brahms's Sonata in F was the outstanding number of the program which offered variety without going to extremes of modernity. Although the sonata was originally written for the clarinet, Brahms also gave his approval to performance by viola and piano. In many respects the deep, warm mystic tone of the viola is preferable to the more shallow and brittle quality of the clarinet.
Mr. Parker gave the score an accurate and facile if somewhat superficial reading. Billie George, graduate student, handled the equally important piano part with consumate artistry.
Two numbers originally written for the violin by the eighteenth century composer Francoeur opened the recital. Following the sonata, Mr. Parker presented the rather unidiomatic "Fantasy-Piece," Op. 73, No. 1, of Schumann. More interesting were Debussy's "Petite Piece," a sprightly fragment, and a Spanish impression. "Piece en Forme de Habanera," by Ravel.

Reds Capture Key Cities
Tokyo, Tuesday, Jan. 9 (U.P.)United Nations forces abandoned the key Korean strongholds of Osan and Wonju to the Chinese Commu-
Monday and continued their retreat south toward the Pusan perimeter.
Red forces took complete control of Wonju, highway hub 45 miles south of the 38th parallel, after an all-night battle in the streets. But at Osan, 27 miles south of Seoul, the main U.S. 8th army force moved back out of contact with the Reds.
United Nations forces retreating along the Korean east coast toward Pusan also had outdistanced their Communist pursuers.
The retreat from Seoul picked up speed over the weekend under pressure of a 200,000-man Red drive down the center of the peninsula which threatened to overrun the 8th army's line of withdrawal.
A security blackout cloaked progress of the retreat, but 8th army headquarters announced cryptically that U.N. forces had given up their last coastal position north of the 38th parallel, old border between North and South Korea.
University Band To Give Annual Concert 8 p.m. Wednesday
TOMMY LOVITT
The present world crisis will affect the 125-man band just as it has everything else. Seven or eight men have been lost out of the band to the armed forces already, he said.

Featured soloists will be Tom Lovitt, education junior, cornetist; and Dale Moore, fine arts freshman, baritone.
Professor Wiley has been working with the K.U. band since 1934 in that time he has obtained new uniforms, developed new techniques and brought the band to national prominence.
When asked why there were no girls in the band, professor Wiley said "girls don't march as well as boys. They are more susceptible to

nization—a job for men."
In 1947 the band traveled to Miami, Fla. to play in the Orange bowl. They were treated to a tour of Miami, which included a swim at Miami beach.
The program for the concert will include: "Symphony No. 5, Finale" (Shostakovich); "Choral March and
He added that the tours are part of the compensation that the students get for the talent and time they contribute to the organization.
Professor Wiley said that he hones never again to experience another trip like the band's appearance at Columbia, Mo., Thanksgiving day at the KU—Missouri game.
