Homma, Death March Leader, Will Be Shot
Manila, (UP)—Lt. Gen. Masaharu Homma, conqueror of Bataan and Corregard, was convicted by a U.S. military commission today of permitting his troops to commit attrocities and was sentenced to be "shot to death with musketry."
The verdict held Homma directly responsible for 80,735 killings and tortures including those on the Bataan death march and in the bombing of Manila after it was declared an open city, Dec. 26, 1941.
Homma, who speaks English fluently, listened intently as the verdict was read. Although he had wept three times when defense witnesses described him as kind-hearted and a peace-maker he showed no emotion as he heard the death sentence pronounced.
Tourist Cabin Killing Suspect Held by Police
Coffeyville, (UF)—Cotteyville police said that a single suspect was held today in the deaths of Mrs. Opal Scott, 22, and a male companion, whose bodies were found in a tourist cabin they rented Friday night.
night.
He nude bodies of Mrs. Scott 22-year-old wife of an overseas soldier and Carl Benning, also 22, were found Saturday in their oneroom-with-shower cabin. Police said their heads had been battered merclessly with a dull instrument, probably a hammer.
probably a handler.
Gamble told reporters that the killer probably had been driven by jealousy when he found the two together. Gamble said Mrs. Scott, the mother of three children, had been dating Benning since his discharge from the army last fall.
Washington, (UP) — Winston Churchill, Britain's great wartime leader, has a headache today but does not attribute it to the 99-minute talk he had with President Truman Sunday.
Rough air south of Richmond, Va.
tossed the honorable Winston, enroute here by plane, out of his seat and inflicted a bump on the Briton's head.
Southern Filibuster Beats 'Fair Work' Bill
Washington. (UP) — Throbbing senatorial ears got soothing relief today as the senate began a two-day recess after listening for more than three weeks to a southern Democratic filibuster.
The Fair Employment Practices bill, target for the southern talkfest, was dead and the senators took the brief vacation because many Republicans were out of town to make Lincoln day speeches.
Stassen To Speak Here March 18
Harold Stassen, ex-governor of Minnesota and more recently a captain in the navy, will speak to an all-University convocation the morning after graduation from executive secretary and conventions chairman, revealed today.
Stassen, a delegate to the first UNO general conference in San Francisco last year, often has been mentioned as a possible Republican presidential nominee.
WEATHER
Kansas—Partly cloudy and colder today.
Cloudy tonight and Tuesday with light snow north, light rain south, beginning late tonight and increasing Tuesday. Colder northeast tonight. Lowest temperatures tonight 15 to 20 northeast and 20 to 23'e somewhere.
Union Will Offer Late Breakfasts, Sunday Meals
You can eat your pancake and have your sleep too. The Union cafeteria breakfast line is going to be open until 10 a.m. this semester.
Sunday meals are being offered too, for the first time in the history of the cafeteria. For something light on weekday noons, there will be the new snack bar which is being opened in the navy "chow hall."
"These changes have been made to accommodate the increased enrollment, and because it has been increasingly difficult for students to find a place to eat on Sunday," Miss Hermina Zipple, Union director, explained today.
The cafeteria will open at 7:30 a.m. as usual Monday through Saturday. The lunch period will begin at 11:20 a.m. instead of 11:30, and will close at 1 p.m. The weekday dinner hours, 5 to 6:30 p.m. have not been changed.
The snack bar on the floor above the lounge will be open from 11:20 to 1 Monday through Friday. If you prefer sandwiches, you may try this to avoid the rush. A hot dish, cake ice cream, coffee and milk also will be sold here.
For Sunday breakfast you will have to stagger up the hill at the unheard-of hours of 9 to 10:30. Dinner will be served from 10:30 to 1:15, and supper 5 to 6:45.
But you still can't dance in the sub-basement — space which was planned for it in connection with the proposed book store will not be ready for this semester. Fountain hours, 8:30 to 5:30, have not been changed.
Phi Beta Kappa Elects Five Seniors
Five University seniors will be initiated Feb. 28 into Fhi Beta Kappa, honorary fraternity for seniors in colleges of liberal arts and sciences, Prof. W. E. Sandellus, president of the K.U. chapter, has announced.
These students are Jean Kaufmann, Leavenworth; Mary Morrill, Hiawatha; Wendell Nickell, Smith Center; Muriel Stember, Ozawkie; and Beverly Waters, Dearborn, Mich.
Candidates are chosen three times a year from the upper 10 per cent of the senior class and once a year from graduate students who have come from other schools.
On Page 4. you'll find authoritative information on closing hours, library rules, -smoking regulations, parking procedure, what to wear on social engagements, where to get that job, and other items really important during these first few days.
For new students on the campus, the Daily Kansan today presents a round-up of information designed to make your stay here a bit less complicated.
The University chapter is the only one in Kansas, and was the first chapter established west of the Mississippi river.
ON THE INSIDE
Our Rebecca Vallette, who knows all about such things, has done a good job on this information, and if you let it, it will help you. See Page 4.

"Is it a nylon line?"%
So puzzled passersby ponder as they see students waiting to enter Robinson gymnasium. It isn't a nylon line, it's enrollment day at the University. It's courses, not nylons, that students want.
D. S. Farner Is New Zoology Professor
Dr. Farner was with the naval bureau of medicine and surgery, stationed at Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Typhus commission in Washington, Florida, and Montana. He was graduated from Hammel university, St. Paul, Minn., and received his master's and doctor of philosophy degrees from the University of Wisconsin.
Dr. Donald S. Farner will begin his duties Wednesday as assistant professor in zoology and assistant curator of ornithology at the museum of natural history, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced.
DONALD S. FARNER
- To new students it is bewildering. Confusion reigns. Everywhere there are lines.
To old students, it is the familiar routine that starts each semester. It's a necessary evil, but even they gasp that enrollment never was like this before.
You enter the building, take a few steps, and Wham! There you are in the "pen," amidst all the confusion of hundreds of other students who also are taking three hours to do a 15-minute job.
At last you spot your adviser,
squeeze through the crowd, and sit down at his table. That is, you sit if there is an empty chair. If not,
you just stand until someone gets up.
Being smart, you already have outlined your schedule. You fill-out your card, hand it to your adviser, and wait. Finally he tells you that courses are closed and you must enroll in a science class to fill division two.
Ah! The door! You walk out into the fresh air. You are enrolled.
Finally, you get your course approved and enter the next pen to have another card filled out for each student. Downstairs to get your fee recorded.
What difference does it make if you have to take some course called "Animals of the Past?" You'll have to study anyway. You are glad it's over—the waiting, the standing in lines.
Several part-time jobs for men which will pay from 40 to 50 cents an hour are listed in the office of student affairs, Dean Werner announced today.

Es seeing you in the line at the book store. Good luck!
But is it?
K. U. history is being made on the campus today, as an influx of new students, biggest in the institutions' 80-odd year life, started breaking all enrollment and registration records in sight.
Record-Breaking Spring Semester HitsK.U.Campus
It is the beginning of the first spring semester since the war ended, and the return of men to a male-starved Hill let coeds and administration officials alike know that the shooting stopped a long time ago.
This is the start of a new kind of semester for most K.U. students—one to which they have looked forward all their educational lives. It will bring the University back to as near normal procedure as it perhaps may ever get, and it will fill out the weak spots (no men, no fun) in university life more than present students have known during their Jayhawker careers.
New students—estimates of their number ran above a thousand—took psychological and aptitude examinations Friday. There were exactly 866 of them pushing pencils for the first of the tests, and officials estimated another 300 or so missed the exam.
By all predictions, there will be 5,000 or more men and women enrolled in KU. this semester. That will be the highest in the Hill's history (the previous top was about 4,600), and will represent more than a 30 per cent gain over last semester's figures.
George Sauer, K.U.'s new football coach, was among the new arrivals on the campus today.
The increase has brought problems. It's been trouble to many students to find the right place to live. There'll be more trouble ahead

The former Nebraska All-American, brought to Kansas to pep up Jayhawker grid prospects, will name his assistants here soon, and plans to run the K.U. pigskin offensive from the "T" formation in a 10-game schedule next fall, he said.
Five non-conference foes will be played in addition to the regular five Big Six games. The Oklahoma Aggies appear on the schedule for the first time.
