Sauer To Leave For Navy Job This Week
George Sauer, newly chosen Naval academy headcoach, will leave for Annapolis either Wednesday or Thursday to lay his groundwork for the 1948 football season with the Middies.
The former Javahawk headcoach, who guided two Kansas eleven to two straight conference co-championships and the first major bowl game in the history of the University, will make plans for spring football practice, find a place to live and make staff arrangements while at Annapolis.
Sauer said he had been notified that he could bring "two men" to the academy as part of his staff. He said earlier that he would like to take Bob calls and Vic Bradford, his two JL assistant coaches, but that their appointments had yet to be approved.
appointment he resigned as headcoach of the Jayhawk Saturday to accept the Navy job because, "The Navy is 'big time' - I just can not pass up the opportunity." He had signed a new 4-year contract with K.U. in December.
His resignation brought a series of verbal outbreaks from University officials.

"Said Chancellor Deane W. Malott,
"We are most disappointed in Mr.
Sauor's breaking his contract, because in his new 4-year contract his every stipulation was met."
E. C. Quigley, athletic director,
said, "His (Sauer's) decision to leave was more than a disappointment to me. It hurt me."
Quigley said he had no comment to make regarding Sauer's successor. He said that he had been assigned to find a coach and he would.
'Mikado' May Start Series
---
The "Mikado" to be presente
Feb. 9, 10, and 13 in Fraser Theater
by the University of Kansas Operat-
tia association, will be the first musi-
ical production of its kind to be give- at the University for many years The long-range aim of the association is to establish an annual performance of this type, to be given only by student talent.
Gerald Carney, assistant professor of music education, as music director and Don Dixon, professor of speech and drama, as director of staging are the only non-student members of the troupe. The cast of sixty includes the all-student chorus the orchestra composed of student musicians, and the solo roles, all to be sung by student talent.
An interesting sidelight is the situation in which Charlie Byers, as "Nanki-Poo," the hero, finds himself. In the operetta he sneeringly spurs the advances of "Katisha," who outside the theater is his ever- loving spouse. She must then stand by and watch his love-making technique with "Yum-Yum," Harriet Harlow, the beautiful heroine.
The association feels that productions of this type will fill the need of semi-classical music on the hill. Sigmund Romberg's "Desert Song" and George Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess" are already being considered for next year's production.

Vets, Here's New Requisition Routine
In an effort to avert the "day-after-class-starts" rush at the Union book store, a new plan in cooperation with the registrar's office and veterans administration has gone into effect, L. E. Woolley, book store manager, announced recently.
recently.
As each student enrolls in his courses he will be handed a list of books and equipment required for each course. A non-veteran may then immediately purchase the required books. Veterans receive regular requisition books during enrollment. After having their books signed by the veteran's office, they can get their equipment in the usual way.
This plan eliminates the necessity of attending class before buying Looks. Veterans will not have to secure instructor's signatures in order to get books and supplies.
K-Staters Paint Jimmy' Again
The future safety of Uncle Jimmy Green's image hung in the balance today.
The problem of just what to do about the recent smear painting of Mr. Green's statue has left University officials without an answer. With plenty of suspicions but no suspects, officials are keeping one eye on the Kansas State-K. U. "peace pact" and the other on Man-hattan.
natan.
James D. Waugh, president of the All-Student Council, said that the ASC did not plan any action.
Uncle Jimmy and his young statie-friend were sploited with varicolored paint last week. The paint was apparently in answer to Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's charge that Clarence Brannum, K-State center, was not eligible for Big Seven basketball competition.
By the statue was a bold sign announcing, "Down with Phog—Brannum stays!" A copy of a Manhattan newspaper with a front page story unholding Brannums eligibility was also nearby.
The first K. U.-Kansas State basketball game of the conference season is at Manhattan on Feb. 18.
No Revenge Dean Warns
A warning that University students shouldn't try to avenge the recent painting of Uncle Jimmy Green's statue was made today by L. C. Woodruff, dean of men.
Uncle Jimmy was smeared with yellow, red and green paint Thursday morning. A sign declaring, "Down with Phog—Brannum stays," and a copy of a Manhattan newspaper were left by the statue.
Under the existing terms of the Kansas State-K.U. "peace pact" the maximum punishment for a violation of the pact is suspension from school for one semester and restoration of damages. The minimum punishment is restoration of the damages.
the dean said that he hoped, "no misguided K.U. student would try to retaliate."
J. Alden Troville, associate professor of industrial management, has resigned his job at the University to take a position with the Wichita Chamber of Commerce.

Soviet Gets US Rejection, Asks About Iran
Washington, Feb. 2.—(UP)The United States flatly rejected the Soviet protests against the presence of U.S. naval vessels in Italian ports as "without foundation."
The Soviet protest about the naval vessels was the first of a series of three which the kremlin has lodged against the United States during the past two weeks.
Italy has told Moscow that she is a sovereign state and it is nobody's business but her own what vessels enter Italian ports.
Still awaiting answers are Soviet protests to the United States against the reopening of an army air base in Libya and the most recent protest that American flying fortresses were molesting Russian shipping.
London, Feb. 2.—(UP) —R a d i o Moscow charged today that the United States was threatening the Soviet frontier by arming Iran with American weapons and helping Iran to map and fortify its border.
The Moscow broadcast on Iran was part of a double-barrelled attack. Moscow charged earlier that American flying fortresses were molesting Russian shipping in the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan by inspecting vessels at masttop altitudes.
Moscow charged that there were so many American advisers in the Iranian army and government departments as the result of an agreement signed Aug. 6, 1947, "that the Iranian army loses the character of the army of an independent sovereign state."
US Assets May Be Freed
Washington, Feb. 2.-(UP)—Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder promised today in a report to the senate foreign relations committee that the U. S. will do all it can to make available to the 16 Marshall plan countries of western Europe about $700,000,000 in "blocked" assets held in the United States.
Secretary Snyder said top government officials reluctantly agreed that it was more important to aid the European nations "in dire need of dollars to permit their survival as free nations" than to continue a policy of protecting the identity of foreigners who hold property here.
He said that after months of consideration this nation has decided to assist European countries in taking control of the assets of their national held here.

Jerusalem, Feb. 2 — (UP) — The five-story building of the Palestine Post, only English language Jewish newspaper in the Holy Land, was blasted and burned to rubble early today by Arabs using the Jewish barrel bomb technique.
Arabs Bomb Jewish Paper
An official announcement said that 20 persons were injured, nine seriously, and none killed in the blast. A woman in an adjoining building died of a heart attack during the excitement. Damage was set at $800,000.
The Arabs carried the bomb in a truck through the heart of Jerusalem in the Jaffa road area, somehow managing to get by roadblocks set up by both the British police and Haganah Jewish militia. Bomb On Truck
Arabs parked a truck carrying the bomb between the Palestine Post and a nearby apartment building and fled on foot. The blast came shortly after 11 p. m., rocking Jerusalem and breaking window glass within a radius of a half mile.
The attack coincided with suppression of the Arab newspaper "Ashaab," first paper to have its license cancelled during the current outbreaks.
The paper printed a seven-column account of the invasion of Palestine by Arabs several weeks ago, claiming that the invaders had "captured three settlements." The press censor warned the editor that the paper's license would be cancelled unless the paper published a seven-column denial of the previous story. This the editor refused to do.

Enrollment Here Not As High As Expected
Enrollment of new students for the spring semester fell below original estimates of 300 students made preceding orientation.
Approximately 278 students appeared for psychological and attitude examinations given in Hoch auditorium, Saturday. A few more late-comers have been appearing at the registrar's office but the number won't increase enrollment materially.
The unexpectedly small enrollment at the University was in contrast with Missouri university where a mid-year rush sent enrollment figures soaring to 14,000.
New students first induction into the University schedule came with the opening of orientation, Saturday. A new student convocation was held Saturday night, and a second is scheduled for tonight. The period of orientation and registration officially closes Wednesday, with an all-school party.
Enrollment at Kansas State college was expected to reach an all time high of between 6,500 and 6,600, A. L. Puglsay, Dean of Administration said today.
Negroes Seek Entry To OU
Norman, Okla. Feb. 2 — (UP) Twelve more Negroes may seek to enroll at University of Oklahoma today as another ruling from the U. S. supreme court in the nation's hottest segregation battle was awaited.
Oklahoma set up a three-professor law school for Negroes. If a majority of the nine justices feel this new school provides Mrs. Fisher with "separate but equal" educational facilities, her complaint probably will be dismissed without comment.
Twelve Negro school teachers announced that they would seek admission today to the O. U. graduate school. However, University officials may reject them speedily on grounds that registration for spring semester graduate courses is closed.
The U. S. supreme court may announce today whether it will issue a direct command to the University of Oklahoma to admit Mrs. Ada Sipul Fisher, 23-year-old Negro, to its law school.
She has complained that Oklahoma failed to carry out the Jan. 12 order of the court which held the state must afford Mrs. Fisher a legal education, as quickly as a white student could get one.
But if a majority sides with Justice Robert H. Jackson's view, expressed during the original hearings, that "a law school for one student wouldn't be much of a law school," the court may direct the university to admit Mrs. Fisher to the 40-year old white law school.
Meanwhile, Gov. Roy L. Turner had stated flatly that he had no intention of calling a special session of the state legislature to set up a proposed multi-million-dollar educational institution of higher learning.
