Band Pleases In Winter Concert
The 115-piece University concert band directed by Russell L. Wiley presented its annual winter concert last night before more than 1,150 persons in Hoch auditorium.
Rv ANNA MARY MURPHY
The performance added to the band's rapidly growing reputation as one of the finest collegiate concert bands in the country. It was more remarkable considering the short time the group had to work on the program since returning from Miami.
The first two numbers set a high standard for the rest of the program. The brilliant "IH Guarany Overture" by Gomez and the impressive Coronation Scene from "Boris Godunow" were not only good show pieces for the band, but audience-pleasers in themselves.
The high spot of the program was Rossini's "Inflamatus" from "Stabat Mater," played by James Sellards, cornet solist, with band accompaniment. The most enthusiastic applause of the evening brought Sellards back for a curtain call.
After such a beginning, the remainder of the program seemed rather antic-limax through no fault of the band. Vaughn Williams' "Folk Songs - Suite" proved an interesting new addition to the modern band repertoire. The tunefulness of the "Russian Dances" by Lionel Barrymore, and Spanish rhythms of "Aguero, Paso-Doble" by Jose Franco, added variety.
Morton Gould's arrangement of "Yankee Doodle" and Paul Creston's modern tone picture, "Legend," gave the modern touch. The "Orange Bowl March" and "The Great Little Army" capably filled the requirements for the traditional march. The highly descriptive "Vltava" by Smetana concluded the program.
Officers of the junior class met Sunday afternoon to make plans for the next class meeting and the Junior dance. LuAnne Powell, president, announced that the next class meeting will be early next semester. A band for the dance will be chosen by those attending, so all juniors are urged to attend.

Legionnaires, VFW Indorse Marshall Plan
Washington, Jan. 21—(UP) The American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars strongly urged congress today to approve the Marshall plan to block the spread of "red fascism" and insure America against a Russian atom bomb attack
The two organizations, representing more than 5,272,000 American war veterans, described the multibillion dollar European recovery program as a "reasonable" investment in peace in statements to the senate foreign relations committee. Would Stop 'Greatest Menace'
James F. O'Neil, national commander of the Legion, said the program must be approved without delay to stop American's "greatest menace—the aggressive spread of communism."
If Russia is permitted to gain domination of western Europe, he said, it would "increase tremendously" her capabilities for making atom bombs, guided missiles and rockets, giving her a war potential greater than America's.
Ray H. Brannaman, commander-in-chief of the V. F. W. coupled his endorsement of the Marshall plan with a warning that "congress still should give equal consideration to strengthening America's armed forces, especially the air force."
"If we are to play a bold hand in international place, we she must have support for that hand," he said.
Brannaman said congress must proceed carefully in determining the amount of money to be spent on European recovery to prevent the program from becoming an "international W. P. A." President Truman wants $6,800,000,000 for the first 15 months.
Warns Congress
Like O'Neil's bemphasized that western Europe must be saved from the "Goliath from the vast reaches of northern Eurasia." But he said the nations which receive aid should contribute to American security by sending us all possible supplies of such strategic materials as chrome and tin.
Collection Boxes Are For Receipts
Collection boxes for student book store receipts have been placed in the lounge of the Union, the Y.M.C.A. office, and in Frank Strong rotunda. The boxes will be emptied daily and the proceeds will be turned over to the World Student Service Fund.
Those Semester Finals Begin Tomorrow
Unless you are a graduating senior in the School of Engineering with a grade of "B," tomorrow means the beginning of one week of semester examinations.
Students who have pledged money to W.S.S.F. should turn their donations into the Y.M.C.A. office as they come due. Students who have textbooks no longer needed, are urged to turn them into the office so that the books may be sent to European students as soon as possible.
In all schools except Engineering, all students will take the exams. The policy of excusing students from the finals is left to the individual school, Raymond Nichols, executive$ \textcircled{*} $ secretary, said today.
The earliest examination is Physics 5 and 6, scheduled for 8 am. tomorrow. Five o'clock classes of the Monday, Wednesday, Friday sequence are scheduled next, at 10 am.
The schedule was checked thoroughly to eliminate conflicts in tests, said James K. Hitt, registrar.
The last examination will be held at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 29. It is for a 4 o'clock classes of the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday sequence.
"If any conflicts do occur, please notify the registrar's office immediately." Mr. Hitt said. "I mean actual conflicts, though, and not cases where the students want to change the schedule merely to finish the tests earlier."
This Daily Kansan Is Last Until Feb.2
This is the last University Daily Kansan this week. A paper will be published Monday, Feb. 2. They will appear on the regular schedule beginning Thursday, Feb. 5. At that time the newly elected staff headed by William C. Von Mauer, editor in chief, and Alan J. Stewart, managing editor, will take over for the first eight weeks of the second semester.
Germans Stage Hunger Strike
Nunberg, Jan. 21-(UP)-An estimated 200,000 German workers struck in the coal-rich Ruhr and in the American zone today in protest against food conditions.
More than 100,000 industrial and office workers walked out in the big Rhineland city of Cologne, and a similar hunger strike was reported to have brought out a number of workers in nearby Essen. The Cologne strike was expected to last throughout the day.
Thirty thousand metal workers struck for a half day in Nuernberg starting at noon. Union leaders said the city's entire labor force with the exception of transport workers would join in.
There was no accurate estimate available of the number of Nuernberg strikers. The city's population is about 400,000.
The food shortage, according to Allied officials, is the result of flaws in German food collections and distribution.
Food unrest originated in the Ruhr when the area's fat ration could not be fulfilled for three weeks recently. To mollify the industrial workers, food authorities reduced rations in the American zone in favor of the Ruhr. Strikes then began in the American zone.
Need Help At Clinic
Graduate assistants who have a graduate course in educational psychology, and a graduate course in remedial reading can apply for part time jobs at the reading clinic. Dr. Henry Smith, director of the clinic, said today.
"Because of expanding program, we can use persons with those qualifications to help teach classes." Dr. Smith said.
he explained that 90 persons were enrolled in the courses this semester, but the pre-enrollment for next semester is over 200. Those who have pre-enrolled will report to 16 Fraser hall between 1 and 5 p.m. with their class schedule cards. Sections will be assigned so as not to interfere with other school work.
Monday-Wednesday sections will begin work Feb. 16 and Tuesday-Thursday sections on Feb. 17. Advanced classes will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 and 3 p. m.
Students Give $215 To Memorial Fund
The 15-per cent debate declared on cash sales during the past six months at the student book store brought $215,98 in student contributions to the World War I memorial fund. L. E. Woolley, book store manager, said today.
Students dropped receipts for nearly $1,700 in purchases into contribution boxes in the store, Mr. Woolley said. Within the past year such contributions have accounted for $455.70 of the memorial fund,
12 Language Credits Proposed As Requirement
A majority report of the College foreign language requirement committee proposes that 12 semester hours or its equivalent in one or two foreign languages be attained either in high school or at the University. The report was read at the College faculty meeting Tuesday.
Opposes Majority Report
The majority report states that if a student does not pass the foreign language requirement by examination, he should enroll in that language course each semester until the requirement is met. However, four years of a foreign language in high school would complete the 12 College credits proposed.
A minority report, opposing both the present language requirement and the new plan, states that "an alternate requirement would serve the needs of some of our students better than would a foreign language requirement."
While the minority committee does not oppose foreign language study, it does oppose such a requirement for all students.
Those submitting the majority report were George Anderson, J. Neale Carman, Carroll D. Clark, E. R. Hall, George Kreye, L. R. Lind, W. H. Shoemaker, and R. Q. Brewster, chairman.
The minority report was presented
fatal Calderie Ross, Ross Rob-
cerson, and Walter Sandelius.
Would Give Placement Tests
The majority group further suggests that new courses in the language department be instituted to meet the needs of student students for college requirements.
The majority report states that college placement and the evaluation of proficiency in the high school units shall be determined by placement tests at the University.
The majority report compared results of cooperative tests given to entering freshmen. Graduates of Kansas high schools with one year of language study in high school had mean scores of 29 in French, 29 in German, 37 in Latin, and 25 in Spanish. National mean score averages were 40 in French, 46 in German, 45 in Latin, and 40 in Spanish. Two-Year Averages
Kansas high school graduates with two years of high school language study had mean scores of 37.5 in French, 46 in German, 45 in Latin, and 42.5 in Spanish. National averages for two years were 56 in French, 55 in German, 60 in Latin, and 55 in Spanish.
Both the majority and minority reports will be decided upon by the College faculty at its February meeting. The present foreign language requirement in the College is 10 hours of credit or its equivalent determined by a proficiency examination.
To Open New Course For City Managers
A refresher course for city managers in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska will be held at the University in the spring, Ethan P. Allen, director of the bureau of government research said today.
The school, first of its kind to be held in this area, will probably last three days. The staff functions of municipal administration, such as research personnel, and public relations 'will be taught. Approximately 50 city managers are in the four-state area.
