Varsity Might As Well Give Up; Faculty Squad Has Game On Ice
Here is the starting faculty lineup:
Front row, left to right: Calvin VanderWerf, Raymond Nichols
Back row, left to right: Gilbert Ulmer, Edward Robison, Ggden Jones
Overconfidence may hamper the play of the Faculty Flashes in their basketball game against the K.U. varsity in Hoch auditorium Wednesday right.
Faculty squad members indicated in interviews Monday that they were certain of victory.
Fred Montgomery, of the bureau of visual instruction, said, "We won't beat them by more than 40 points. The margin will be nearer 30. Our game won't be close like the Oklahoma-Texas clash. We're really a junior edition of Kentucky." (Editor's note: Kentucky was defeated by Utah Monday night in New York. Well?)
Henry Shenk, player-coach of the Faculty Flashes, claimed that his team intends to use "a secret weapon."
"The varsity squad will think the atomic bomb has hit," he declared. "Our only difficulty will be in holding our own scoring within bounds. I understand the latest odds from New York list the Faculty Flashes as 5.439 to 1 favorites."
Dean Paul B. Lawson said, "Our style will be something never seen on land or sea. Both teams will end up exhausted."
The Rev. Rv. Edwin F. Price declared, "There's no doubt about the outcome. The big problem is whether Hoch auditorium can handle the fans who will come to see the Faculty Flashes perform."
Prof. George Beal said flatly, "The faculty will win. We've been scouting the varsity all season for this game. They've never seen us play. They'll be completely befuddled."
Raymond Nichols: "The faculty can't possibly lose. We've been practicing behind closed doors for months."
Only Prof. Edward Robinson and Dean George B. Smith refused comment. It is reported, however, that Loth will agitate for "no school Thursday" should the faculty triumph tomorrow night.
Witt on Emergency Leave
Mai. Emitt Witt, assistant professor of military science, is on a 10-day emergency leave in Washington, D.C., to be with his father, who is critically ill.
Dormitory Applications Due University women now on the campus who wish to visit in Watkins or Miller hall next fall, should go to the office of the Dean of Women before April 15. Miss Margaret Haben, dean of women, said.
Housing Office Lists Men's Rental Rules
Conditions under which the University makes lists of all householders who rent rooms to men students were announced today by the housing office.
Conditions are all rooms vacant or not must be listed with the office with the rent charge per month. The student must give 30 days notice if he moves to another room, or 60 days notice if he moves into a fraternity house.
In neither case the student retains possession of the room until expiration of the notice. If the householder re-rents the room before the notice period expires, refund shall be made to the student for the unexpired balance.
Rent paid in advance by calendar month is not refunded for vacation recesses. Additional fees may be charged for excessive electrical appliances, but this should be determined before the room is rented.
The University assumes no responsibility for the collection of rents, and in cases of conflict with the regulations the housing office and the dean of student affairs office can act only in an advisory capacity.

Russia Accepts U.S. Stand On Settlement Of Austria
Moscow. (UP)—Russia abandoned a week-long uncompromising stand on the Austrian treaty today and without warning accepted the position of the western powers on seven heretofore bitterly contested points in the proposed Austrian settlement.
American officials were pleased with the Soviet attitude, but maintained a degree of reserve. They noted that the main obstacle to agreement on Austria was the question of German assets in that country which have been taken over by the Soviets as reparations.
Food Prices Drop Slightly
Washington. — (UP)—The bureau of Labor statistics reported today that retail food prices dropped 0.8 per cent from Jan. 15 to Feb. 15.

Final decision will be made by a faculty committee appointed by Dean J. H. Nelson, chairman of the University scholarship committee.
Candidates for the award will be judged by the applicant's financial need, personality, extra-curricular activities, and scholarship.
Eight applications, four of which were presented last fall, will be considered.
Laurel L eck r o n, pre-business
freshman, last semester's award.

German Students Request K.U. Letters
University students can now correspond with students of a German university.
In a letter to the All-Student council, a group of students attending Tuebingen university, Germany, said they wanted to write to students at KU.
The German group, says that it wants "to initiate correspondence with your students who are interested in German life, culture, and development, the problems which concern Americans in Germany."
The letter expressed appreciation for "every aid, both morally and materially," from the United States, and assured student council mem- bers of Germans "do not despair in spite of all difficulties we have to meet."
Students who want to correspond with the German scholars should see the German club.
Two Chinese Girls At K-State
To Talk To K-U, Home Elc Club
Ho-I Pai and Jui Fang I'Vang, Chinese girls who are attending Kansas State, will speak to the home economics club here sometime next month.
The foreign students were guest speakers at the annual state home economics convention held in Wichita last weekend.
Murrav Has Operation
Glenn D. McMurray, graduate student, underwent emergency surgery Monday at Watkins Memorial hospital. His condition today is reported as good.
Being laughed at is music to the ears of Jack Moorhead, 21-year old College freshman.
Moorhead has acted as master of ceremonies at four principal University social functions this term, and gets "a buzz out of giving other people a buzz."
His MC antics and impersonations have been given at the Slobbovian Stomp, Sweetheart Swing, Junior prom, and Vice-versa dance. Moot-head's characterisations of Groucho Marx, Ted Husing, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Al Jolson have brought applause and laughter from University party-goers.
A speech and drama major, Moor-head began his theatrical career at the age of six in his home town of Atchison, when he did a song and dance to the tune of "Tiptoe Through The Tulips."
"Ever since then I've been plugging at show business," he said. "Some of my jokes sound as if they have been held over since I was six."
He traveled with several army war bond units during the war, first as a magician, and later as a comedian.
The magician's equipment became too heavy to carry, so I pulled some strings and got switched to a straight comedy routine," he explained.
The K.U. entertainer expects to appear in a Broadway musical comedy sometime in the future, through contacts made with theatrical men while appearing in army shows. He has spent more than $800 in furthering his comedy reputation through publicity, and mails all newspaper clippings and accounts of his performances to an agent in Chicago for use in publicizing his abilities.
A natural showman, Moorhead enjoys his master of ceremonies duties, but thinks his appearance should be spaced to give students time to forget his routine.
"They keep me pretty busy trying to think up new jokes for every event," he commented. "In the army the same old jokes were usually good indefinitely because we played to different audiences, but on the campus I need a new routine every time. It's getting hard to think up new gags.
"Here on the hill it's easy to get a laugh," Moorhead said appreciatively. "It reminds me of the army. GT's catch on quickly and are quick to let you know they got the ioke."
Moorhead prefers being master of ceremonies to the job of straight, comedian, explaining that the MC position is the most interesting and the most profitable financially in the professional world.
"You make the most money as a master of ceremonies everywhere but at college", he said ruefully. "The most I have even gotten here is a carton of cigarettes, but I don't mind that as long as they think I'm funny."
The blackhaired, smiling entertainer is a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.
Moreau Talks On Law, Religion To 'Y' Group
"There is no sharp dividing line between law and religion," F. J. Moreau, Dean of the School of Law, told a YM-YW religious seminar group Monday.
"Law is rooted in divine reason." Dean Moreau said, and stated that 99 per cent of judicial decisions correspond with moral decisions. Judicial decisions are based primarily on sociological and ethical laws, which deal with every possible subject.
The Rev. C. Fosberg Hughes, pastor of the Lawrence Congregatian church, will speak to the group "The Place of The Church in Everyday Living," at 4 p. m. Monday in the Pine room.
