ROTC Holds Ball For KU Members
R. O.T.C. students and graduates of the University R.O.T.C. still in attendance may attend the Military Ball which is to be held Friday Dec. 1, at the Military Science building. This is contrary to previous reports that stated all reserve officers may attend the ball. Only those who are now in the R.O.T.C. units at the University and those who are graduates of the University R.O.T.C. program and still attending school are eligible to attend.
ON JUNE 3 the bells may ring from the World War II Memorial Campanile. The scaffolding was taken off the campanile before the football game Saturday. Only the elevator shaft is still connected to the tower. Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, said the dedicatory ceremonies may be held in June, possibly by Commencement.
The bells have just been cast in England and are now being tuned. After the 53-bell carillon is tested in March it will be shipped to K.U. Two doors are going to be placed on each side of the campanile. Figures sculptured in bronze will be hung on the oak doors. Bernard "Poco" Frazier '29, will do the bronze work.

UN Forces Push Advances On Almost Entire Front
Tokyo, Tuesday, Nov. 13—(U.P.)—United Nations forces advanced cautiously on virtually the entire length of their 250-mile Korean front Monday. They pushed to the walled city of Yongbyon and were setting a trap for Chinese Communists who dented their lines below Tokchon.
The U. S. 1st cavalry division beat back a Communist battalion northeast of Kunu, under heavy mortar fire and a pounding from a 76-millimeter gun, while other elements of the same division pushed ahead three miles to Yongbyon. They did not occupy the town.
They said the Reds appeared to be fighting a delaying action and to be showing no offensive spirit.
The South Korean 6th, 7th and 8th divisions were working around a Communist wedge in their lines near the eastern end of the Allied
Russia Will Remake Nature With Series Of 5-Year Plans
By K. C. THALEK United Press Staff Correspondent London—(U.P.)—Russia is "remaking nature."
48 Enemy Planes Is Record
The new Soviet five-year plan incorporates a number of vast irrigation and power schemes. They are designed to open up new areas and step up urgently needed power production for agricultural and industrial development in remote regions.
northwestern line, and were attempting to cut off an estimated Chinese division.
Washington, Nov. 13—(U.P.)—U.S air force planes destroyed 48 enemy jet and propeller driven aircraft during the period Nov. 1 through Nov. 11, an air force spokesman said today.
The forests are to run parallel to the great rivers of the steppes on either side of the Dneiper, Donets, Don. Volga and Ural rivers. All draining into the Black and Caspian seas.
The projects, announced in advance of the five-year plan by Moscow, are part of the Stalin plan for the "remaking of nature." They are to be completed within the next five to 15 years.
The first post-war five-year plan expires Dec. 31, and preparations for the new one are being completed.
In dogfights, he said, air force planes destroyed two MIG-15's, Soviets-made jets, and 16 Yaks, a propeller driven plane also of Soviet make. They probably destroyed 15 more MIGS and damaged 14 MIGS and 9 Yaks in air battle, the spokesman added.
Experts here say the new schemes are motivated partly by strategic considerations. The Kremlin wants to:
The project provides for planting 10's of millions of trees over an area of more than 15,000,000 scores between Kiev in the Ukraine and the Urals, and between Odessa on the Black sea and Astrakhan on the Caspian sea.
1. Open up new routes of transportation inside Russia.
2. Develop the remote—and less vulnerable—parts of Russia in the Urals and Central Asia.
The cost of the vast schemes has not been disclosed. It is to be borne by the state. Labor is expected to be conscripted for some of the projects and contributions are to be imposed on local populations and collective farms.

Hunting Old Bones And Indian Pottery Occupy Anthropologists
Many people think that an anthropologist spends all of his time studying the bones of dead people.
Carlyle S. Smith, assistant curator of anthropology, says this represents only a segment of his activity. More time is spent studying the things man has created.
The anthropology laboratory in the Museum of Natural History with its thousands of pieces of Indian pottery which are systematically catalogued and the drawing table stacked with field notes, photographs, and maps of excavation sites tell part of the story of Dr. Smith's research activities. About half of his time is spent doing research and study in connection with the excavation of American Indian village sites.
Dr. Smith spends the rest of his time teaching anthropology in the department of sociology and anthropology. This is the first year that an undergraduate major has been offered in anthropology; "Our main emphasis is on archaeology," he added.
years has it spread from the older universities," Dr. Smith explained. The anthropology division in the Museum of Natural History was begun in the spring of 1946 when Dr. Albert Spaulding took over the duties as assistant curator. Dr. Smith has been the only instructor devoting his time to this department since the fall of 1947 when he came to the University.
"Anthropology is a young and growing science and only in recent
During this time Dr. Smith has directed three expeditions which have studied Indian village sites in Kansas and South Dakota.
In 1948 a survey of the area flooded by the Kanapolis reservoir in Elisworth county revealed the presence of several cultures. The expedition found a simple hunting and gathering culture occupying the areas before 1000 A.D. and a second
culture in which the Indians used permanent houses covered with earth and in which they grew corn.
A third culture from which the modern Wichita tribe is derived was also discovered. The last culture was determined by drawings in a sandstone cliff which indicated that the nomadic Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians of the 19th century had acquired horses from the white man.
In 1949 an excavation of the Kansas monument site in Republic county revealed an 18th century village occupied by the Pawnee tribe who lived in earth covered houses and farmed the rich bottom lands along the Republican river. Trade with the French was in evidence by the vast quantity of tools made of iron which were found. These included gun parts, axes, and knives.
In the summer of 1950 Dr. Smith directed an expedition that excavated a village site in South Dakota which had been occupied by the Arikara tribe, a group related to the Pawnee. He pointed out that pottery found at the bottom of the site resembles the old Upper Republican culture found throughout the Central Plains thus indicating a common origin for the Fawnee and Arikara tribes.
Dr. Smith plans to return to the site in South Dakota this summer and also plans to do sampling excavations on other sites in the vicinity. Usually he is assisted by about 12 students on such expeditions. Properly qualified students may register for archaeological field work during the summer session and receive six to eight hours of credit.
The cataloguing of the material brought back from the expeditions is an interesting system. All pottery pieces and artifacts, tools made by man, are numbered to indicate from which state, county, site, and feature within a site the material comes. Each piece is marked with permanent waterproof black ink. Should a collected piece not be marked, it is useless and cannot be used in the analysis.
Pottery was subject to as much change in style as women's dresses are today. Dr. Smith explained. His charts indicate how styles of pottery have grown and diminished in popularity.
In explaining the importance of Indian pottery, Dr. Smith commented that pottery is the most complicated thing the Indians made. It must be studied and described in great detail since pottery and other artifacts give clues as to the period in which the village was occupied.
The Museum division of anthropology is specifically concerned about the prehistory of the Great Plains. By reconstructing the past, Dr. Smith explained, we may find out how man's culture has served him throughout the world. "If we know how man has lived in the past we can be in a better position to analyze our own culture and plan for the future."
