42nd YEAR
Dr. M.A. Barber To Be Awarded Service Citation
The University citation for distinguished service will be presented Dr. Marshall A. Barber, graduate of the University in 1891 and assistant associate and professor of bacteriology at the University in 1911, by the Alumni association in Fraser theater at 8:00 p.m. Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary announced today.
Charles B. Holmes, president of the alumni association, will take charge of the presentation. Chancellor Deane W. Malott will read the citation.
Eighth Phi Beta Pi Lecturer
Following this ceremony, Dr. Barber, as eighth lecturer in the NoblePierce Sherwool lectureship series will speak on "Bacteriological Investigations in the Philippine Islands." Dr. O. O. Stoland, professor of physiology, will introduce Dr. Barber.
Barber Discovered Pipette Method
The citation was voted to Barber two years ago and was to have been conferred on him at commencement last June. Because of the death of his wife, he was unable to receive the citation at that time.
In 1908 Dr. Barber discovered what is now known as the Barber pipette method for isolating bacteria with a glass pipette. With the Bureau of Science in Manila he discovered a cause of food poisoning unknown before. He has worked with the Sanitary Corps of the U.S. army, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, and the International Health division of the Rockefeller foundation.
Citations have been conferred upon 52 graduates and former students in the past including Etta Moten, star of "Porgy and Bess"; Benjamin Hibs, editor of the Saturday Evening Post; Alexander Wetmore, director of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington; Edward Weidlein, director of Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh, Pa.; and William A. White, former editor of the Emporia Gazette.
A police investigation is being made of the robbery of three navy men at PT 5, Templin hall, at 4:30 am. yesterday, V-12 officials said today. The thief escaped with $104 in currency taken from pocketbooks in one room, while the men were sleeping.
Denver—(INS)—The belief that Spanish Americans of the Southwest should be trained and utilized in government and business in Latin American countries, was expressed in Denver today by Dr. Edward Eyring, president of New Mexico Highland University of Las Vegas.
Latin America to Be Emphasized
The sailor guard, while making the rounds of the property, discovered a man, whom he said was dressed in army clothing and overcoat, running from the house, but the guard was unable to catch the thief.

Evaluation Blanks Available At Book Exchange
Students not living in organized houses may obtain their blanks for the Faculty and course evaluation survey the All Student Council is conducting by calling for them at the Book Exchange in the Union building, Betty Bixby announced this morning.
The Book Exchange will be open from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Thursday. All organized houses must return their blanks to the Pine room of the Union building between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Miss Bixby said.
Few Houses Get Kansan Reviews
Concern over future publication of the Kansan Review was evidenced today when a cheek showed that few of the houses that had promised purchases of quantities of copies have called for them at the Kansan business office.
"No effort was made to provide for a profit, and unless every copy is purchased the Daily Kansan stands to lose," a spokesman for the business office said today. "We anticipated rather closely the wants of the students, and think every copy should be sold," he said.
"Sending of campus news to men and women in service will have to be the responsibility of every student on the campus who must make it a regular habit of purchasing and sending the Review weekly. Unless there is immediate response the project will have to be dropped. I hate to think of the attitude persons in the service will have then," the spokesman added.
'Who's Who' Returned Following Book Drive
Regardless of whether "Return a Book week" was a success or failure, one evidence of result was the return of a copy of "Who's Who in America" to the library after several years of outside use.
The book, one of 1935 printing, was sent from Kansas City without a return address, so the negligent borrower's name is not known to library authorities. Though later editions are now used, librarians are pleased to have the book back.
Hearts Are Trumps For Today
St. Valentine has had a lot of competition this year, what with the war and all, but in spite of his troubles enough red hearts and witty verses were seen around the campus today to keep up the tradition of Valentine's day.
Unusual Feb. 14 feature this year is the fact that Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, falls on the Irish saint's birthday. This year 1945 will offer another quirk when Easter falls on April 1, All-Fool's day.
"Sentimental nothings," in keeping with Valentine customs, were harder to get this year. University students found. Heart-shaped boxes of candy were "seldom" and because of paper shortages, the assortment of paper Valentines was not as large this year as usual. Lawrence stores were showing complete displays of comic valentines, however.
The last student Fine Arts recital to be given this semester will be presented at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser theater. A violin ensemble and students of voice and harp will appear.

Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen highly commended his fighting Jayhawk basketball squad for last night's victory over Oklahoma in an interview today, and commented, too, on what he called "the enthusiastic support and splendid ovation of the Jayhawk rooters."
wall during the game, injuring his shooting shoulder. He was also handicapped by a charleyhorse in his right leg. Scott took quite a spill, and Moffett received a block from behind that threw him on the floor, injuring his left side severely. We had to give him special treatments."
Dr. Allen went on to praise Owen Peck, freshman guard, who, he said, "did a tremendous job of guarding Scooter Hines, O. U.'s ace ball handler. Peck held Hines scorelel the first half, and played an excellent defensive game. Peck's injury in the second half was the pulling of a leg muscle, which we are working on, and we hope he will be ready for action in Friday's game at Manhattan."
Allen added that he had been dubious about being able to field a quintet in top physical condition, because of serious injuries several squad members had received in last Saturday's game at Lincoln. "Many do not know," said Allen, "that Scott, Reynolds, and Moffett, all first string players, received injuries in the Nebraska game that had to be treated all week. Reynolds was run off the court into some pipes against the
Reds Move Across Eastern Plains Of Germany Toward Nazi Dresden; Heavy Fighting in Southern Manila

Berlin became an almost secondary objective in Premier Marshal Josef Stalin's unchecked offensive. Across the eastern plains of Germany today the grand strategy of his Russian drive unfolded as a gigantic enveloping movement designed to overrun Dresden and possibly open the road to Prague and Vienna even before the bomb-battered capital falls.
