How Will You Repay Soldiers For Sacrifices?
Last night you spent a nickel at the coke machine, eagerly exchanged 17 cents for a pack of cigarettes, and paid half a dollar to see a movie. Last night he dreamed of that coke machine and the place where it stands. He always dreams of the places where he used to be—where you are now—the coke machine, the library steps, the union.
Mud, frozen hands, blood—little to remind him of an early spring day on the Hill; little to remind him of a lazy stroll from Fraser to “Ad” or even trudging up 14th street. But the memories are there. So is the realization that others stand where he once stood. That others smoke a cigarette between classes on the library steps; that others, right at this moment, casually stroll down a campus walk where he once walked—where he yearns to walk now.
Appreciate his sacrifice? Sure you do. Last night you spent a nickel at the coke machine, eagerly exchanged 17 cents for a pack of cigarettes, half a dollar for the show. And tonight you will contribute to the Red Cross the price of a football ticket to help him fight and die for you. To stagger in the mud; to sweat and to bleed and to freeze.
That was your Red Cross contribution—one football ticket, good for one year, to let him know you're back of him, helping him, "sacrificing" for him. You, his classmates, safely standing in the cheering section will pay tonight the price of a football ticket for his comfort—the soldier who dreams of the library steps, a stroll down the campus, the union.
RUSSIA---year in Russia. Previously he had made many trips to the Soviet Union and was the first American reporter to have an interview with Stalin. During his last trip, his plane was forced down at Stalingrad and he saw the destruction and devastation of that city and surrounding villages.

"Virtually every one of the Russian generals of today came from peasant stock," he said, "Zhukov, for instance, was taken out of school at 11 under the Czar's regime. Later he was conscripted in the first world war and then the Revolution gave him the opportunity to become one of the war's greatest generals." Thus Mr. Davis feels that America may be losing out by her failure to develop the brain potentialities of her youth, who, for lack of funds, are restricted to a limited education.

Mr. Davis returned to the United States in January after spending a
Student Recitals Resumed Tomorrow
Along with the announcement of the change of date of the Senior recital of Ruth Russell, soprano, the College of Fine Arts announces the first of this semester's regular Thursday afternoon student recitals to be held at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. Miss Russell's performance, previously scheduled for Sunday, March 18, has been postponed to Sunday, April 22, and will take place in the small auditorium of Frank Strong hall rather than in Fraser theater.
The program for the Thursday recital will be a piano solo by Emadee Gregory, senior in Fine Arts, "Concerto in E Major, Op. 59" (Moszkowski); violin solo by Helen Pierson, senior in Fine Arts, "Concerto" (Coleidrige-Taylor); and two piano ensembles by Gorgjia Weinrich, junior, and Allen Rogers, sophomore in Fine Arts, "Magic Fire Scene," (Wagner-Wier;) and "Floods of Spring" (Rachmaninoff-Babin).
In talking with the people there, he learned that when the Reds returned they found the entire population starving and suffering from starvation. He observed the German mines and dead Germans still lying about in the fields.
Guerillas Kill a Million
Russian guerillas, stated Mr. Davis have killed a million Germans behind the German lines, which is more than we have killed on the entire Western front. Even children were members of this group, stealing ammunition from German camps for delivery to guerilla headquarters. One small boy of 9 had been decorated for capturing a German major
"The Germans were very cruel in "Russia," according to Mr. Davis, but it is not fair to say that they all were responsible for the atrocities of a few. The Gestapo, and the ardent Nazis were the tryants."
Davis paid tribute to labor unions as protectors of the United States against Facism which he maintained was represented in such organizations as the Liberty League.
RED CROSS---comfortable as ever...

Soudns like a party!—Bentley Nelson and Dean Swartz, Nu Sig brothers in the bond, gave a big house warming party Saturday night. When questioned about the guests they hung their heads and replied, "We only had one." You see, they ran out of "refreshments."

Sweet and low—Patty Vance, Delta Gamma, was overheard Saturday night serenading "Roby" Robinson. V-12 Phi Psi. It seems "Roby" had called her to say good-night and Patty wanted to insure him of sweet dreams. Ah, spring!
Didja know?—Jim Conard, Sigma Chi, and Jane Woestemeyer, Gamma Phi, have something in common. While Jane washes for Dan Chase, Beta, Jim washes out little sweaters for Jim, Sigma Chi. Every night too!

"More foot soldiers are being employed every day in the present war." Dr. F. C. Allen, chairman of the campus drive, said today. "That means more casualties than ever before, and more work for the Red Cross. They need every service you can give to keep up the splendid work they have done since the founding of th society many years ago."
1905, is supported by popular membership and voluntary contributions. In event of disaster, the nearest Red Cross chapter responds with its trained and prepared relief committees, and the national group augments the chapter's work with relief workers and finances where they are needed.
Volunteer service has reached thousands of sufferers through braille books for the blind, garments for the needy, surgical dressings for hospitals, meals, and other community services. During the present war, the Gray Ladies, Nurses' Aides, Junior Red Cross, and other branches of the Red Cross donate their time and services to the war effort.

False rumor — We still don't believe that Bill Kanaga, V-12 Phi Delt, got the name "Cuddles" because he is so sleepy so often.
Business before pleasure — Chick Kouns, Sigma Chi and advertising manager of the Daily Kansan, was overheard remarking that he would rather write ads for women's hose (with the legs in them) than any other kind. Now Chick!
Tau Sigma Meetings Divided Because of Size of Group
Tau Sigma, honorary dancing sorority, was divided into two groups last night because of the size of the entire group. The percussion group will meet at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday and the sustained movement group will meet at 8:15 Tuesday night. There are 30 members in the sorority.
The groups are working on a "jitterbug" routine to present before the W. A. A. sometime this semester.
Nurse Corps Has Big Week
