God 'Essential To Students,' Koo Declares
"You are being starved in an important aspect of human living if your University doesn't give you a good knowledge of God," Dr. T. Z. Koo, secretary of the World Student Christian confederation, told students at an all-University convocation this morning.
Opening Religious Emphasis week. Dr. Koo spoke on "Christianity in the Atomac Era." Dean Paul B. Lawson introduced the Chinese speaker and gave the benediction. The invocation was led by Rosalie Erwin, president of Y.W.C.A., and the prayer by Jeanne Ackley, Danforth graduate fellow. Orville Roberts, College senior, led the singing of the hymns.
lured the simple.
Our problem in the atomic age, as before, is man, who creates material benefits but is not disciplined to control them. Dr. Koo stated. People must remain master of material things before they can enjoy life and new discoveries to the fullest extent, and this control is to be gained through religion, he maintained.
"Religion gives a perspective between God and man; God the creator and man the creature," he said. "Our problem will be to keep man from exhorting himself to be greater than God. We fear the atomic bomb because we can not trust ourselves."
Just returned from three years in Shanghai, Dr. Koo told of having to sell home furnishing to buy food. "I couldn't have lived through those years without my personal faith in God," he said. He told of Japanese in Shanghai who knew him and did not reveal his identity to the Japanese officials.
Activities Commission Receives Surprise Aid
Most people haven't heard of Phillips county, or Stanton county, but as far as the State-Wide Activities commission is concerned, they're the best in the state.
The surprise came when funds began to arrive. With a $13.07 per county quota, Patti O'Leary turned in $13.25 for Phillips county, and Joanne Cockheim, Stanton county, brought in $15. Both counties are in western Kansas, and Stanton, with one student, Joane, in KU, borders Colorado. The two counties have oversubscribed $2.11 to give Jayhawkers to their eastern friends.
Anne Scott, chairman, explains that the commission is going to send Jayhawkers to every high school in Kansas. Correspondents are collecting funds to pay expenses. It was agreed that the more alumni-populated counties in the eastern part of the state would give more money to make up for the lack of alumni in the western part.
a watercolor demonstration by Prof. Karl Mattern, of the department of drawing and painting, will be a feature of the University Art club meeting at 8:30 tonight in the Memorial Union. A student will be Professor Mattern's model.

Students who have reserved basketball admission tickets for K.U. Big Six conference games may obtain them immediately, Earl Falkenstien, financial secretary of the athletic association, announced today.
Basketball Tickets Now Ready for Students
Obtaining tickets sometime before Friday night's conference game in Hoch auditorium will help avoid a rush "which might keep some students away from their seats at the game." Falkenstien pointed out.
The tickets will be available at the athletic office in Robinson gymnasium from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Sailors May Quit At End of Term
All NROTC and V-12 students must sign an agreement to remain on active duty until July 1, regardless of eligibility for discharge, or agreement to receive a commission in the navy if offered. Capt. Chester Kunz, commander of the navy unit, announced after receiving a bulletin from Washington today.
Men with previous sea duty will be sent to San Francisco, and those who entered the V-12 unit as civilians will be sent to the naval training station at Great Lakes.
The bulletin, which will weed out all those eligible for discharge during the next term, states that those who do not desire to remain in the navy unit until July will be seperated from the program at the end of this term.
This order does not apply to dental, medical, or theology students in V-12 or V-5. Kunz stated.
V-12 students who are eligible for discharge by points, prior to the start of the new term in February, will be discharged if they desire, Capt. Kunz said, but they may contine the program if they sign the agreement.
WEATHER
Kansas—Partly cloudy tonight and tomorrow. Colder in extreme southeast tonight. Low tonight 15-20 north, 20-25 southeast. Warmer tomorrow.
WEC To Promote Ladies' Lounge
The story concerns a prince and his friends, hunting near a lake. Swans appear, and dance in a clearing. The prince learns the swans really are young girls transformed into swabs by an evil magician. He falls in love with the queen of the swans, but a sorcerer (aha, the villain!) appears and spirits the queen away. Unable to overcome the magic, the prince falls to the ground, dead.
Ah, Yes, Says the Jayhawker---- Here's How to Understand Ballet
For instance, the first offering will be "Swan Lake." It's described as a "choreographic poem," and it first was produced in Moscow in 1877, with music by Tchaikovsky.
Some corny collegian, we suppose,
would say that was the prince's swan
song. Not us, though.
The next number on the stage will
The student absent from last night's meeting will meet with the committee sometime today so the group can decide on a new manager before Council meeting tonight.
Ah, yes, the ballet...
But, quoth the Jayhawkensis choreographensis, how does one understand the ballet, and the significance of all those exotic movements?
Members of the Women's Executive committee, in a campaign to raise funds for a women's lounge in Frank Strong hall, will call on all organized houses next week, Billie Marie Hamilton, president, announced today.
Capacity Crowd Healing a capacity crowd attended Prof. Waldemar Geltch's violin recital last night in the Frank Strong hall.
No Varsity dance manager was named last night because one applicant for the position was unable to attend the meeting of the All-Student Council social committee, Billie Marie Hamilton, committee chairman, said today.
New Dance Manager To Be Chosen Today
Capacity Crowd Hears Geltch
The lounge will contain a small kitchenette, two gas burners, refrigerator, two study tables, three sofas, and assorted chairs. The walls will be gray, trimmed in Chinese red, and the furniture will match.
Funds collected by the W.E.C. will be matched by a University donation. The proposed lounge will occupy the rooms on the second floor of Frank Strong hall that were recently V-12 offices.
If you don't have a friend in Tau Sigma, the "dawnee" sorority, then your best bet is the program, and its explanatory notes.
If you're going to the Ballet Theatre in Hoch auditorium at 8:15 Thursday night, you won't be entirely on your own in interpreting the thing. This third offering on 'the K.U. concert course will be art, yes, but you won't have to be up in the clouds to appreciate it.
be "On Stage." The program's notes will tell you:
"Day dreams are exclusive to no one. During a ballet company's stage rehearsal, onlookers may be so touched by the scenes before them that they may, at times, fancy themselves transformed from bystanders to glorified participants — like the shy little girl who auditions before the ballet master and the handyman whose world is a round of sweeping and errands."
One of the truly good parts of this number will be its leading man — Michael Kidd, who originated the ballet, and who danced this same role in New York.
Nasty old "Bluebeard" dominates the last ballet offering. B.B.'s philanderings plague one King Bobiche, in whose mythical domain the ballet takes place (during the 16th century). Poor King B. has exiled his infant daughter, Princess Hermilia, and he grows into an unhappy old man, infuriated by the infidelities of his Queen Clementine, and upset by Bluebeard, his impetuous vassal.
And thats about the program
And that's about the prize.
Oh, yes, there's just one more little thing. Now that you understand all about these three pieces, don't forget to look on the program's back page.
"Program subjects to change without notice." it says.
Don't say we didn't try.

separated by erosion The present requirement for discharge is 50 points.
If discharges had continued at that rate, the chief of staff said, "the army would have been out of ware by March."
Discharges have averaged 1,250,000 a month for the past three months, in contrast to the 750,000 estimate made by Gen. George C. Marshall last September. The result has been "that 1,650,000 men have gone to their homes who had no right to expect it."
