Godoy in Topeka
Arturo Godoy, one of the few boys to go the route with Joe Louis in a championship heavyweight bout, will make his initial Kansas appearance this evening at the Municipal auditorium in Topeka. The South American heavyweight champion will meet Jack Suzek in a three round encounter. Godoy is currently staging a comeback attempt which he hopes will land him in the Garden later in the year. The South American also lasted eight rounds in another battle with the Brown Bomber before the dusky Detroiter put him to sleep.
First Division Teams?
This being the time of the year when managers of the sixteen major league ball clubs start telling the world how strong or weak they will be around the middle of the season, it is interesting to note how many strong clubs there are going to be. According to the latest count, this will be the first time in the history of either major league that eight ball clubs will finish in the first division in both leagues.
Sideline—A headline the other day in a certain paper read: "Dodger batters weak at plate." Most interesting, we are forced to observe, but we'd like to know any other place they could possibly be in such a state of affairs.
Haegg to Go Home
Gunder Haegg, star Swedish necktie salesman and former holder on the world's middle record, announced yesterday that he had not received permission to stay in the U.S. and run in any more meets, but mus return to his employer in Sweder immediately. Haaken Lidman, however, his fellow Swede and ace hurdler, will remain for an outdoor tour that may include a west coast tour and an appearance in the Penn Relays. He may even get a chance to stay for the outdoor AAU championships, now scheduled for June 30 Lidman cracked the high hurdle mark in a Rhode Island meet the other day in a race in which all four contestants broke the existing world mark of 15.8. Lidman was timed in 14.4 over the 110 meter course.

High Schools Send Entries for Track Meet on April 21
Six Kansas high schools have sent in their entries for the 41st annual interscholastic track and field meet in Memorial stadium April 21, Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of the athletic association said today.
Hanesville, Axtell, and Oksaloosa, class B; Holton, class A; and Wichita East and Atchison, class AA; have reported an average of 15 boys each.
About 40 schools, the same number as that of last year, are expected to be entered by the deadline, April 16. Mr. Falkenstein said.
The meet will include all standard events, and each school will be limited to two entries in each event.
The three classes, AA, A, and B will be used to designate the size of the school, although the official classification includes only the two, A and B.
One of the early entrants, Wichita east, was the winner of the A division title last year. Clearwater was champion in class B.

Col. W. L. McMorris, professor of military science: The memorial should be useful and not a glorified monument. It should take the form of a building or a scholarship. There should be no frivolous celebration after V-E day, because it is just like a football game with the first half finished. If there is a celebration it should be of a serious nature, a day of thanksgiving that further suffering on a European battlefield has ceased. Classes should continue as usual, but perhaps an hour service could be held in Hoch auditorium.
Mike Kuklenski, Ku Ku president and veteran: We need a place for students to go, like they have at Boulder. As for V-E day, I think we should celebrate.
Dean Henry Werner: There is only one kind of a monument and that is a living one. I am in favor of additions to the Memorial Union building and to emphasize the fact that it is a memorial. There should be no celebration after V-E day, because it is really only one phase of a large war. I want the celebration saved until after both wars are finished and then—oh, boy!
Add to Union
Charlotte Price, College junior: A building in commemoration of the war dead is my idea of a fitting tribute. Classes should be continued as usual on V-E day and no celebration except the worship services that the churches are planning.
Bill Jenson, V-12: I'd like to see an extension of the Union. As for V-E day, we might as well celebrate, for the whole nation will. I think a memorial service in Hoch is a good idea.
Beulah Morrison, professor of psychology: I was a student during the last armistice, and that day was one of unrestained joy. There should be no celebration as such, but I am in favor of a day's vacation from classes, if it is for a purpose of observance of armistice. War memorials such as the many built after the last war are of no use and should not be built this time. A memorial should honor the ones who gave so much for their country and should keep before the future generations the price of war. The memorial should be in the form of a building. People should be reminded by a memorial; they forget so easily.
Rachel VanderWerf, secretary of the Y.W.C.A.: A religious center or a research foundation established at the University would make a fine memorial. There will be celebrations and I think they had better be planned and on the serious side.
Clearing and cooler tonight.
Battle-zone shaves are apt to be rough and tough, so don't frown down the wishful thinking of this stubble-chinned private as he uses the cold-water, scrape-and-pull method.
G. I. Johnny does some Post-War Planning
He's thinking now of the civilized comforts of his own Home of Tomorrow and the magical conveniences that will be his from that little blue economy-flame,—GAS!
High up on the list of his dreams-to-come-true is that happy time when hot-water will speed his "once-over-lightly"...when hot tub-soaks will revitalize tired nerves and muscles...when K.P. will be but a memory...and a clean shirt will not be an event.
G. I. Johnny's home comforts will be many but none more welcome than the quick-flowing, always-hot water he'll get from his post-war Ruud Automatic Gas Water Heater that keeps hot water pure and rust-free in a long-lasting tank of solid Monel.
It's worth planning for!
Your Committee of Three
This is your post-war planning committee for your hot water supply in your own Home of Tomorrow. All three.,—Gas, Monel and Ruid,—are now in their country's service, but at the war's end you'll find them together again, working to a common purpose,—to give you a perfect, low-cost hot water service.
