English Reporter Talks To Class
Talk of war is more prevalent in the United States than in England, Joan Skipsey told members of a feature writing class April 30.
Miss Skipsey came to the United States four weeks ago, and is now working as a reporter for the Topeka State Journal. She has worked with several English papers and was with the ministry of information during the war.
"The British are just as concerned about war as you, but they are more aware of conditions in Europe." Skies are skies and they are doubtful of their ability to fight."
Comparing journalistic notes, Miss Kipsisey found editorial practices similar in the United States and Great Britain. She thinks the United States newsroom superior because of closer contact between reporters and editors but finds the foreign coverage poorer in the Midwest.
Women's Club Will Elect Officers
The annual business meeting and election of officers for the University Women's club will be held at a tea at 3 p.m. Thursday at Myers hall.
Officers in charge of the tea are Mrs. E. C. Quigley, chairman; Mrs. Elmer F. Beth, hostess chairman; Mrs. E. L. Falkenstein, food and serving; Mrs. C. G. Bayles, decoration; and Mrs. George W. Stratton, tea table.

Recital Given By Swarthout
By CRYSTAL CHITTENDEN
Evelyn Swarthout, daughter or Dean and Mrs. D. M. Swarthout, presented the old master composers Bach and Schumann in her piano concert Monday in Fraser theater. Miss Swarthout also gave American composers a break by playing several selections by Barber, Copland, and Robert Palmer. She proved adept at playing either classical or modern music and made the change with facility.
Her interpretations of the modern selections showed a sense of balance and meaning that is so often lacking in the public performances of recent composers' works.
Miss Swarthout opened her program by playing Bach's "Sonato in D Minor," originally written for the violin but later transcribed for the piano by the composer. To Schumann's melodious and flowing "Etudes Symphoniques, Opus 13" she added an intangible quality that made it seem more dramatic than Schumann's works appear.
In her modern group she included "Toccata Ostinato" by Robert Palmer, a former member of the fine arts staff at the University.
"Story of Our Town" and "Conversation at the Soda Fountain" were written in 1940 by Aaron Copland as incidental music for the picture show "Our Town," and in 1944 were arranged for the piano. The first, descriptive and sentimental, possessed a rondo effect in its recurring melody. The second gave the impression of someone going "nowhere" but having a good time on the way.
The prize is given annually to the senior who made the best record in the school during his junior year.
Cavitt Wins Prize In Medical School
Robert F Cavitt is the winner of the $100 A. Morris Ginsberg prize in the School of Medicine, announced today by Dean H. R. Wahl.

Approximately 60 civil engineering seniors are making a two day visit to Kansas City, Kan., and Bonner Springs for the annual civil engineering inspection trip for seniors.
The engineers visited the Kansas City Structural Steel plant and the Central avenue viaduct construction job in Kansas City, and a building job at Liberty Bend, Mo., Monday. Today they will visit the Lone Star Cement corp. in Bonner Springs.
G. W. Bradshaw and W. C. McNown, professors of civil engineering, are traveling with the group to explain various steps of construction. The trip is required for seniors.
British Prepare To Keep Peace In Holy Land
Jerusalem, May 4—(UP)—An additional 2,000 British reinforcements took up positions in Jaffa today to help enforce a British truce that has brought comparative calm to the major cities of the Holy Land for the first time in months.
Conferences that may bring permanent peace to the Holy City of Jerusalem were scheduled to be held in Amman today among members of a United Nations truce commission and two top Arab leaders.
The commission has been entrusted by the United Nations with finding a truce formula for the Holy City. Members did not disclose the purpose of their visit, but it was presumed they would sound out the Arab leaders on a truce plan.
The commission announced it will visit the Trans-Jordan capital to confer with King Abdullah and Abdul Rahman Azzan Pasha, secretary-general of the Arab league.
Unofficial reports said the British warned Arabs at Ramallah, 10 miles north of Jerusalem, that they will be attacked by rocket-firing planes if they continue to shell Jerusalem.
Jerusalem continued unusually quiet under the British threat to blast anyone who resumed hostilities.
Attention All Veterans
Veterans changing schools for the coming summer or fall sessions must first obtain form 1905, an application for a supplemental certificate, from the Veterans' bureau, Frank Strong, Annex C. The regional V.A. office will then send in the approved certificate, E. R. Elbel, director of the veterans bureau, said today.
If the institution the veteran plans to attend is in another regional area, the veteran must secure the supplemental certificate from his own regional office. Then he must file a request to transfer his records to the new regional office.
Veterans may make a complete change from institutional to on-the-job-training. If the veteran has not met his scholastic requirements he may have to convince the V.A. that he is qualified to study under the on-the-job-training program, Dr. Elbel added.
The veteran may be given a test by the V.A. if he has failed to meet his scholastic requirements to determine if he should continue training. If his grades are average or better he should have no trouble changing to schools that the V.A. approves, Dr. Elbel added.
A free trip to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia will be awarded to one student from each state who leads in gaining members for the Young Democrats organization. Deadline for the contest is May 31.
Dr. Elbel warned veterans who plan to change schools that a delay in receiving subsistence might result from the transfer of records.
Roy G. Baker, president of the Young Democrats clubs of America made the announcement. He stated that the youth delegation would have seats on the convention floor and that a special program of entertainment is being planned for the winners.

Pot Simmers In KC Strike
Kansas City, May 4- (UP)—A federal judge was expected to lay down a set of rules for police and striker behavior in a civil liberties decision in the meat strike today.
The C.I.O. United Packinghouse Workers union is seeking to have Kansas City police restrained from interfering further with its members, following the clash between police and strikers April 23.

The union is also asking an injunction against Detective Capt. Eli Dahlin, who led the police in an outbreak of violence which wrecked a union hall, and Mayor Clark E. Tucker. In addition, union members allegedly injured by police clubs have asked $200,000 damages under the Kansas Mob law.
The judge said the rules would not prejudice either the union or the city in the injunction suit set for Mav 12.
Judge Mellott ordered Captain Dahlin and other police officials to hear the reading of the rules.
