"Waiting for the Train to Come In," was Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's gripe when he missed connections today on a late train from Norman, Okla., where he scouted the Oklahoma-Oklahoma Aggie game last night.
Maybe, if he makes bad connection from Kansas City, he won't be back for basketball practice this afternoon, so the chief gripe of his players will be, "waiting for the basketball training to come in."

Wanted----50 yardbirds (but not the army variety).

No Iran Attack Stalin Reassures
(By United Press)
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin expressed confidence today that Russia will respect Iran's territorial integrity, but reports indicated Soviet troop movements still are in progress.
prosecuted. Bevin told the house of commons that Stalin had given "most categorical reassurances" that no aggression against Iran was contemplated.
He said Britain had no present plan for restoring her garrison to Iran.
Reports from Tehran yesterday said that Soviet troops had been moving north out of Fabriz, capital of Azerbaijan, and that one column had swung west toward the Turkish border. These reports also estimated that the Soviet garrison of 30,000 men in Azerbaijan had been doubled in the last month.
In Moscow, London, and Washington there was no effort to minimize the gravity of the situation underlined by Stalin's blunt charge that Winston Churchill is seeking to rally Anglo-American forces for war on the Soviet Union.
The official Russian press launched a new attack on certain Iranian elements and "foreign reactionaries" who were charged with plotting war and territorial grabs against the Soviet Union.
A British foreign office spokesman said specific information had been received that Russia had sent fresh troops into Iran, but that the Russians may have withdrawn an equal number of troops. He said concrete indications had been received that the Red army had evacuated at least three Iranian towns in the past few days.
The possibility of a world debate over the Iran crisis appeared to be in the making with Churchill reportedly planning another "strong" speech Friday in New York. In Russia the Supreme Soviet is meeting to provide a platform from which Foreign Comissar V. M. Molotov may join in the controversy.
Fraser Adds 'Bathroom Blue, Beauty Parlor Pink
It was a tough fight while it lasted, though, as several thousand students have seen by the battle scars (splodites of "bathroom blue" and "beauty parlor pink") now decorating the hall's front entrance.
The war in Fraser is over.
First the painters started putting on another coat of the light cream paint which has covered Fraser's
The heavy artillery started booming Wednesday when three painters from buildings and grounds went to Fraser to touch up the first floor walls.
It barely had ended today, and then only after ruffled feelings throughout the English, home economics, and design departments, and the mediation of Leonard Axe, special secretary to the chancellor, who spent three frustrated hours Wednesday afternoon trying to smooth over the deal.
walls for lo, these many years. That bothered Miss Edna Hill, of the home economics department, and she went to Dr. George Baxter Smith, School of Education dean.
"Why should we?" George Baxter replied. "Let's get Margaret Whitney in on this."
In came Miss Whitney, design specialist;
"Must we have this same old drab color cream?" she asked.
"Why not a light, warm blue?" he suggested.
And so, they tried various shades of blue. One painter did nothing but mix up various shades, while the other two hopped about, cocking their heads to one side, and grunting "yeah," or "un-hunh" as the new colors appeared.
new colors appeared. The tempest started when Miss Sara Laird, associate professor of English, entered the scene.
english, entered the scene.
Frankly, she was shocked. She
had seen Fraser for many years, and never had it had a "bathroom blue" appearance before.
"Yes, and it's beauty parlor pink," snorted the males in the English department when they saw it.
"I'm going to call Leonard Axe on this," she proclaimed.
Mr. Axe went to Fraser. He talked with Miss Hill. He talked with Miss Whitney. He talked with Dean Smith. And, he talked with Miss Laird.
Three hours later-after the painters had mixed up a few more shades—the decision was made.
The color of the walls in the University's oldest building would be pink.
And so, the argument went on and on.
The war was over today—but not the sniping.
N.R.O.T.C. Men To Be'Civilians After July 1
University naval trainees will be under a normal academic schedule after July 1, 1946. The navy department will have no contract with any colleges or universities after that date.
It will be necessary for all trainees who remain in the N.R.O.T.C. after July 1 to gain admission to an accredited college or university, Comdr. R. J. Baum, V-12 and N.R.O.T.C. executive officer, announced today.
The permanent postwar N.R.O.T.C. program will be limited to a total enrollment of 14,000 men in 52 schools over the nation. The University will have no more than 270 students participating in the program.
The trainees at the university who will have completed 7 or 8 terms by July 1 may be recommended for commission, if they fill one or both of the following conditions: (1) completion of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree, or (2) the completion of 120 or more credit hours, including 24 hours of naval science.
Those men who desire transfer to the regular navy will, if qualified, be commissioned reserve ensigns and will remain on active duty.
A new plan is in Congress whereby trainees who wish to retain their enrollment may do so. They will have privileges of civilian students, receive tuition, uniforms, and $50 a month from the government but will be responsible for their own housing and board.
They will be required to wear uniforms only at drills and on summer cruises and will receive the appointment of reserve midshipman. The completion of this training will be followed by a period of at least 15 months of active duty.
Those who wish to discontinue enrollment in the N.R.O.T.C. will be immediately discharged if eligible or change their classification to V-6 until September 1, when all members will be eligible for discharge.
Over 280 musicians from the School of Fine Arts will participate in the All-Musical Vespers, 89th in the series, to be held in Hoch auditorium at 4 p.m. Sunday.
Star Musical Groups Present 89th Special
