'Boy On Ox At Museum
The Sunflower chapter of the K.U. Dames will meet at 8 tonight in their clubroom.
WEATHER
"Boy On Ox" is a black and white key block print. Impressions were made of key block with India ink to guide the engraver and printer in making the colored prints. They were also used in planning the color scheme for the finished print.
Japanese prints were first used as advertisements and posters, and represented the art of the common people. Today they are considered the clearest example of the basic principles of design that the world has to offer. Notable characteristics of the prints are the beauty of composition, grace, sweep of line, distinctive character, and perfect balanced of both line and mass.

AFS To Sponsor Summer Projects
Gas Shortage Will Continue
The increased demand and the shortage of pipe and distribution facilities will cause the gas shortage to last at least one more year, declared Earl K. Nixon, of the state Geological Survey He attended a meeting of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers in New York.
"Natural gas, the new sweetheart of industry, will probably continue to be short in high-consumer areas next winter." Mr. Nixon said.
"The gas is available at the wells but pipeline facilities for distribution of the consumers cannot keep up with the demand for the fuel." he added. "Pipe mills are booked to capacity until 1951."
Natural gas is in such demand because it eliminates smoke and is relatively cheaper than coal, he explained.
2 Envoys Quit;
Blame Red Coup
Washington, March 3—(UP)—Czechoslovakian Ambassador Juraj Slavik today resigned in protest over the Communist coup in his homeland.
The Czechoslovakian minister to Canada also announced his resignation today.
Mr. Slavik said he was convinced that President Edouard Benes "acted under terrible pressure and duress" during the Communist coup.
"Czechoslovakia has become a fully totalitarian police state," he said.
Reds Push Action On Finnish Poet
Helsinki, March 3—(UP)—Finnish Communist leaders called on President Juho K. Paaskivi today and demanded that negotiations for a treaty of friendship and military alliance with Russia be started immediately.
The demand was made after reports that President Paasikivi had informed Russian Minister G. Savonenkovich that, under simsim, he would give Russia the power to use the Finnish army anywhere in case of war.
A delegation of five leaders of the Communist Democratic union, headed by Hertta Kuusinen, called on President Paasikivi to present their party's views officially.
"There is no reason for delay in handling this important matter." K. L. Kulo, chairman of the Democratic union, said after the conference.
Certain political quarters tries to get the problem postponed until after the July elections, but such a situation could easily under the present circumstances.
Reliable sources said President Paasikivi stressed Finnish opposition to a clause of the Balkan treaties with Russia when he discussed the matter with General Savonenkov Saturday.
This clause, contained in the Hungarian and Romanian treaties with Russia, provides that each party, in case of war, shall give the other all military and other support available.
President Paasikilvi insisted that this clause was unacceptable because it meant that the Finnish army could be used by the Russians anywhere in case of war. He made this objection known to the Russian minister as well as to his cabinet, it was reported
There Are No Communists At KU, Only Socialists, Says Prof. John Ise
There are no communists at the University, in the opinion of John Ise, professor of economics.
"Communists? I don't know any," Professor Ise said. "I have some students who are socialists, but not many. Some of them are not shocked by socialism and look to it as a possible way of preventing some of the economic problems we may have to meet before long."
"I have had only one student who was a communist in the real sense of the word a graduate student from Bulgaria about ten or 12 years ago. Of course they might not confide in me now, knowing I'm hostile toward Communism."
The campus is not a good breeding ground for Marxist followers, he believes.
'May Fight Russia,' Malott Declares
Chancellor Deane W. Malott today told the Kansas City chamber of commerce that war with the "new Russian empire may be inevitable."
"University training tends to develop an objective, open-minded attitude directly opposed to the narrowness of communism. The student sees too many points of view to acquire the brutal aggressiveness of communists."
Professors of social science are not likely to be affected either, because they point out the different theories and their qualities, Professor Ise added.
He advocated congressional passage of the Marshall plan to combat the "Molotov plan" already in operation. At the same time, he decried universal military training, federal-aid grants, "witch hunting" and high taxation.
"We must face the fact that war with Russia may be inevitable. . . because there is one attribute of our life which will always be dearer to us than peace, and that is freedom," Malott said.

Topeka, March 3—(UP)—Kansas City and Lawrence were mentioned today as possible sites of the Kansas Children's Receiving home if the state juvenile code commission recommends to the legislature that it be moved from Atchison.
