Teachers Survey By All Students Will Begin Today
The All Student Council blanks for evaluating teachers and courses at the University will be distributed to representatives of all organized houses at a meeting in the Kansas room of the Union building at 4:30 p.m. today, Sarah Marks, member of the A.S.C. special committee for the project, has announced. Betty Bixby will have charge of contacting unorganized students.
The representatives will distribute blanks to students in their houses; the blanks must be filled out and returned to the representative by Thursday. Each student will be given enough blanks to cover the courses he has taken during this semester, the six-weeks session, summer school, and the last spring semester. After the blanks have been turned in, Donis Bixby and Sarah Marks will check them, and the results will be given to the administration before appointments for the spring have been made, Miss Marks said.
Each teacher on the Hill will be allowed to learn the results of the evaluation as far as they are personally concerned.
Miss Marks stressed the idea that the reports the students turn in must be truthful and sincere; they are not to be joking or unfair. The success of the evaluation is up to the individual students, she said.
Legislators Will Visit University Tomorrow
The ways and means committee of the Kansas legislature will arrive at 3 p.m. tomorrow to visit the University. "They will be taken to Lindley hall, the research building, the museums and any other point of interest the visitors care to inspect," Chancellor Deane W. Maalt said.

Advising Periods For Enrollment To Start Feb.13
The pre-enrollment advising period for Feb. 14, 15, and 16 for all students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has been announced by Dean Gilbert Ulmer.
The purpose of this advising period, Dean Ulmer explained, is to give students an opportunity to plan their programs for next semester. Each student should work out his program and discuss it with his advisor so that all that will be necessary on enrollment day will be the signature of the adviser.
The pre-enrollment advising is especially important this term because enrollment must be completed in one day, Monday, March 5. Students it residence this semester will not have to reregister for second semester.
Printed schedules of courses for next semester are available to students in the College office. Students are urged to make out tentative programs for second semester before reporting to their advisers. This preparation is necessary to allow advisers to see their students in the short time allotted them. The program should be fairly complete before visiting the adviser. Should Hume have Courses
Dean Ulmer suggests that students plan to visit their advisers during the first portion of the advising period to avoid an unnecessary last minute rush.
If there is a conflict between the student's classes and the advisers' hours, students should contact the adviser and make a special appointment convenient to both the student and the adviser.

Lincoln's First Trip To Kansas Was Futile
"The horse and buggy in which Lincoln traversed the muddy roads of Kansas had been a bandwagon, but Kansas missed it," Brinkerhoff commented.
After a night in Elwood, Lincoln
There was no mention of Lincoln's speech in the Atchison Champion because the editor, John A. Martin, was for Seward.
Speech Was Unmentioned
Now among America's immortals, Lincoln failed to dent Kansas opposition on this trip, for the state's delegates to the presidential nomination convention voted for Seward instead.
Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday anniversary the nation celebrates today, made a memorable trip through Kansas in December 1859, testing ideas through addresses for his famed speech at Cooper Institute in New York, recent investigation reveals.
Fred Brinkerhoff, Pittsburg newspaperman is authority for the fact that Lincoln arrived in Kansas Nov. 30, 1859 and spoke that night at Elwood. The next afternoon he spoke at Troy and at night in Dolphin. The following morning he went to Atchison.
Kansas Supported Seward
When he reached Troy, Lincoln
started to Troy in an open buggy drawn by one horse. The weather had turned very cold.
was "blue with cold" one authority says. "On the trip the party met a bewhiskered man in a wagon who recognized Lincoln. He was Henry Villard, who had been in Colorado on an assignment for a New York paper. He had buffalo robes and he lent Lincoln one, which was later returned at Leavenworth."

Pictures of seven University basketball players; an article entitled "Progressive Changes in the College," and a feature concerning Bert Brandt, ace war photographer are highlights of the newest Graduate Magazine, which is being mailed tomorrow.

Joint Command To Direct Plans Of Final Battle
International News Service
Nazi Germany heard with misgivings today reports of the first concrete measure taken by President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Marshal Josef Stalin at the conference on the shores of the Black sea.
It was establishment of a joint liaison command to direct all operations in the final battle of Germany. The military brain trust will be divided among the United States, Great Britain, and Soviet Russia.
On the battlefield, coordinated hammer blows carried Canadian troops into Cleve and American forces into the Siegfried line bastion of Prutem, while the Russians heightened their threat to Berlin with establishment of bridgeheads over the Bober river. An even fresher Soviet offensive in northern Silesia carried Stalin's forces almost to the border of Brandenburg Province from the south.
In the Philippines, the Japanese were cornered in the old wall city of Manila south of the Pasig river and the Japanese home island reverberated to the crash of B 29 superfort's bombs.
