Finals in the intramural track meet are postponed until tomorrow because the V-12 students are taking the navy strength tests today. Ray Kanehl, assistant director of intramurals announced this morning.
The meet will begin at 4:45 p.m. in the Memorial stadium.
In yesterday's preliminary meet, qualifiers were determined in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and the 120-yard low hurdles. Four events, shot put, high jump, pole vault, and 440-yard relay, reached the finals.
George Darsie, Sigma Nu, won the shot put; while the 440-yard relay was taken by the Phi Psi's. "Fed" Stucker, Phi Gam, and Odd Williams, Sigma Chi, tied for first in high jump. Top mark in the pole vault was shared three ways, Tom Sinclair, Phi Psi, Dan Westerman, and Fred Daneke, Kappa Psi.
300 Guests Attend Annual Hi-Home Night

Those invited were parents, alumni, friends, teachers, and practice teachers of the U.H.S. student body, Ruth Litchen, supervisor of social studies, announced today.
An informal reception opened the program with a display of student work, representing every department and including painting, pottery work, maps and graphs.
Austin Turney, Jr., senior, acted as master of ceremonies for a program of music, speakers, and dancing. The string quartet, mixed chorus, and square dancing troop were the performers.
Speakers were Gene Tait, U.H.S. student; J. W. Twente, dean of the School of Education; and Mrs. Marvin LeSeur, parent.
Refreshments were served after the program in the Old English room.

He was a sensational battery commander and, where others would shoot wildly whenever a rocket was sent up and thus give away their positions on the third shot Captain Truman would have nailed his target. Someone has said that "Harry could hit a haystack at three miles on the third shot."
Swimming Pool Open For Civilian Men Five Days of Week
The swimming pool in Robinson gymnasium will be ope ntc civilian men five days a week from 6 to 6 pm, it was announced today by Dr. F. C. Allen, head of the department of physical education.
The University's conversion to wartime training in 1942 made it necessary to reserve the pool for military personnel. When the navy's machinist's mates, electrician's mates, V-12's and V-5's, plus the Army's A.S.T.P. were crowded into the pool, the civilians necessarily were crowded out.
Since that time, the pool has been used only by members of servicemen.
Ashton Lecture Replaces Recital
Dr. John W. Ashton will give a lecture on "The Creative Idea," at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser theater, in place of the customary weekly recital of Fine Arts students.
Dr. Ashton, chairman of the department of English, will point out certain common elements in music and literature as a general means of communication.
The lecture will be the second in a series of three lecture-discussions designed for Fine Arts students, but open to the public.
The series, sponsored by the department of organ and theory of the School of Fine Arts in cooperation with various departments of the College, has been arranged by Laurel E. Anderson, professor of organ.
The new president is one of the foremost history students in the country and has a prodigious memory. He cannot be stumped on any question concerning any military campaign from the days of Genghis Khan through Gettysburg to this war. When he first came here as a senator, he bought maps of Gettysburg and then went to that historic site to walk the battlefield with his maps in his hand.
Truman is a gay man and talkative. He is a good listener, but when he has something to say he says it. And that's the way it will be as this admirer of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson leads his country through the greatest crisis in history, with a firm hand dictated by great American common sense.

ERNIE PYLE---who will build the dance pavilion near Potter lake, has said that he cannot guarantee completion of the project before the end of August, because of the help shortage and the seepage of a spring near the platform site.
In April, 1944, he flew to England to await D-day. His articles were becoming noticeably filled with his "profound weariness and complete horror of the war."
(continued from page one)
He was increasingly haunted by premonitions of his own death as his months under battle fire passed.
Awaited D-Day
"Instead of becoming used to danger, I become less used to it as years go by. I've begun to feel that I've about used up my chances," he told a friend in Normandy.
While on the Western Front, Yyle was a "tent mate" of Bert Brandt, K.U. graduate, and ace war photographer who appeared at the University in a January convocation. He stayed to witness the liberation of Paris, before returning to the United States and his home in Albuqueque, New Mexico.
Left for the Pacific in March
Ernie again took up his travels and his column when he left for the Pacific area on a carrier the last of March. The "salt-water doughboy," as he lately termed himself, stopped in Hollywood to watch the production of "The Story of G.I. Joe," a movie about the infantry and the man who knew them best—Ernie Pyle.
In what was probably his last moving picture, a newsreel shot which was shown in Lawrence this week, Pyle was pictured in a landing craft heading for the Okinawa beach.
