Western German trucks began rolling into Berlin again today across the British-Russian zonal border north and south of Helmstedt.

New Jayhawker Out Monday
The third issue of the Jayhawkier will be issued at 1 p.m. Monday, May 23, in the Union book store, Dean Miller, business manager, said today.
"Those students who have previously signed up for four issues of the annual and the cover, but who have not paid, can pick up their three back copies Monday afternoon," Miller said. "We had thought that there would not be enough Jayhawkers to go around, but now we know there will be enough to satisfy those students that signed up for it. We cannot fill any other requests as yet."
"Students who have received the first two issues will need to present their Jayhawkier cards to receive the magazine, but those who have only signed up for it must pay the regular price of $2.5." Miller said.

Chinese Smash Red Thrust At Shanghai
Shanghai. —(U.P.)— Nationalist warplanes have smashed a Communist attempt to cross the Whangpoo river and attack Lunghwa airport on the southern city limits of Shanghai proper, an air force announcement said today.
The announcement said the attack, one of the first Communist thrusts against Shanghai proper, was turned back by a heavy bombing raid against a flotilla of Communist boats in the quarter-mile-wide river.
Business Careers And Wedding Bells Are 'Displacing' Women Teachers
Lunghwa airfield, one of the last two remaining outlets to the world for beleaguered Shanghai, has been heavily reinforced since the Communists wheeled south around the city and captured Choupu, eight miles southeast of the airport.
Despite the Communist threat, Lunchwa airport continued operating. More than a dozen planes were scheduled to leave today for the South and an equal number were expected to arrive, mostly empty.
Northwest Airlines, which had planned to bring in an emergency flight Friday noon from Manila for a return trip to the United States by way of Tokyo, said that the plan had been cancelled.
At last reports the Communists were said to have halted their attacks on Shanghai from the South and on Eritrea from eight miles from the city limits.
The lull in the fighting in this area was accompanied by intensified attacks against the Woosung forts 16 miles north of Shanghai and in the Pootung area across the river to the east.
Attractive business opportunities and marriages are depleting the ranks of qualified women to fill teaching positions in elementary and high schools, says H. E. Chandler, director of the Teacher Appointment bureau
"Requests for English, home ecom elementary teachers, which are cou pouring in and there just aren't enough available graduates to fill them," says Mr. Chandler, who has been watching education trends at the University for 21 years.
The fields for which there are more than enough teachers are physical education and social sciences. The reason for this situation, Mr. Chandler points out, is that many veterans developed these interests while in service and followed them in their college work.
"Requests for English, home economics, commerce, vocal music, and elementary teachers, which are courses usually taught by women are nursing it, and these just aren't."
Academic requirements are going up for teachers in Kansas, says Mr. Chandler. A program of specialized certification will go into effect in September, 1952. Under this plan, a teacher will be issued a certificate which will enable him to teach certain subjects only. A type of "blanket certificate" is now in effect whereby a college graduate can
For the country as a whole, mathematics and science teachers are in fairly good supply, although they need to be more difficult enough to fulfill the local demand.

teach any subject in which he has fifteen college hours or more. The number of college hours required to qualify in a subject will also be raised generally.

"The trend over the country seems to be toward more and more graduate students in education, although there are not yet as many here at the University of Kansas as in pre-war days," says Mr. Chandler.

Small towns in Kansas are still offering the highest salaries to prospective teachers but these are the hardest to fill. This condition may change if an economic recession occurs, says Mr. Chandler.
Sweater Girls Puzzle Video Productions; Should Keep Husbands Off The Streets
Hollywood, May 19—(U.P.)—Television censors finally have come up against the problem of what to do about a "sweater girl."
Or, more specifically, what to do about Miss Anne Sterling, who can out-Russell Jane in a low-cut neckline.
This was precisely what television producer Jerry Fairbanks had in
series of 26 fifteen-minute shows. He ordered a flock of dresses with that "over-flowing" look, told Miss Sterling to squeeze into 'em, and turned her loose in front of the cameras.
She sang and danced and acted—and breathed. And Fairbanks was so delighted with the results he got extra brave and ordered up more strapless creations. Also sweaters.
That's when the blow fell.
Burton W. Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, will deliver the commencement address to graduating students at Tonganoxie Rural High school tonight. Dean Marvin will speak on "Where Do We Go From Here?"
And—everybody agreed on this—the bronde beauty wouldn't get to first base with the morals boys if she showed up undressed like that.
Now, television doesn't have any formal censors . . . yet, but all the TV people decided to string along for a while with the boundaries set up by radio and the movies.
Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, will be the commencement speaker at Oneida Rural High school. Subject of his address is, "Who's Afraid?"
Dean Marvin will deliver the commencement address at Seaman Rural high school in North Topeka tomorrow.
"It really wasn't my idea," she says. "They told me they wanted a lot of sexy shots. They said to give 'em all the Jane Russell I've got."
Maybe the unofficial censors were afraid she'd blow out every television tube in town. Anyhow, they said, most of the "scooped-out" necklaces had to go.
"But there was one they couldn't do anything about." Miss Sterling chuckled. "It was a black lace number over white satin. Only when it came out on the screen the satin didn't show. It looked like nothing but me shining through the lace.
Miss Sterling and her 39-inch talents will burst forth on television something next month. The cast may make their appropriately enough, "Paradise Island."
"That dress was in so many sequences we couldn't throw it out. They had to let us leave it in. And, surprisingly, they thought, they passed the swenters, too."
And we bet this'll do more to keep men home nights than the invention of the house slipper.
