42ND YEAR
Jones Resigns To Direct Art In New York
Prof. T. D. Jones, of the department of design, will leave the University on Jan. 31 to take a position as art director in the department of education of the International Business Machines corporation, in Endicott, N.Y. Professor Jones, who came to the University in 1938, announced h is resignation this morning.
In his new position, Professor Jones will supervise the art work connected with the visual aids division. His
work will include instruction in the illustration of books, manuals, and publications and the art aspect in the making of films.
Before coming to the University, Professor Jones did commercial art work in Kansas City, Chicago, and New York. He studied at the Kansas City Art Institute; at Northwestern university, Chicago; and in Paris and Fontainebleau, abroad.
Mrs. Jones has resigned her position at the University Nursery school and will accompany her husband to New York. Tom Jones, son of Professor Jones, College freshman, will remain at the University.
Professor Jones is one of three art instructors in the United States who used the color-through-light study technique as a classroom principle. He constructed an apparatus for the study of the principle. The instrument is now being used in the experimental laboratory of the psychology department.
Advisers Will Confer With Underclassmen Beginning Next Week
All students enrolled as freshmen or sophomores in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences should see their faculty advisers either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday next week for conferences or to make appointments for conferences later in the week. Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, announced today.
All freshmen and sophomores are expected to see their advisers at this time. Those who fail to report for their conference will be called to the College office, and sent to their advisers at that time, Dean Ulmer added.
Organized groups who desire reports of mid-semester grades of their freshmen and sophomores should instruct the students to get a statement of their grades from their advisers instead of getting them from their individual teachers, Dean Ulmer said. Those organized causes who desire mid-semester grades for their upperclassmen, should bring to the College office a list in alphabetical order of all those who are enrolled as juniors and seniors in the College and they will receive those mid-semester grades that have been turned in.
Advisors' names and office hours are posted on the bulletin board opposite room 229 in Frank Strong hall, Dean Ulmer said.
Independents Define Objectives for Their New Organization
Four main objectives of the new student organization will be presented at a meeting Monday night of all the independent students at the University who are interested in attending. A volunteer committee of students wrote these objectives at a meeting last night.
The committee discussed the possibilities of the organization and the manner in which it should be organized with members of the faculty before writing the objectives of the organization. Those objectives are to be thrown open for discussion by the group Monday night and will be changed if the students choose to do so. The four objectives follow along the four divisions that the organization will include. These divisions are activities, political, welfare, and social.
Members of the faculty who met with the committee last night are H. B. Pepinsky, assistant director of the guidance bureau; Hilden Gibson, professor of political science; Henry Werner, dean of student affairs; Mrs Calvin WanderWerf, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., and Harry H. Sisler, professor of chemistry.

No Graduation Ceremony
Planned for This Semester
No graduation ceremony will be held at the end of the present semester, according to present plans, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said this morning.
Senate to Act On College Plan
Adjourning today, the state legislature will convene again Monday afternoon according to a statement by Lt. Gov. Jess C. Denious, presiding officer.
There will not be enough students to be graduated to warrant the exercises, he explained.
Before adjourning, the senate appointed members to 40 committees. Of these, the ways and means and the education committees will discuss and plan action concerning the University. Appointments for the house of representatives committees will be announced early next week.
Discussing postwar progress for Kansas, Gov. Andrew F. Schoeppel addressed a joint session of the legislature in Representative hall in Topeka yesterday.

K. U. Unwilling to Trade Tibbett for Sinatra Sigh
The majority of students lamented Frankie's departure from the Hit Parade, a number said that although they liked Tibbett, they thought that he was out of place on such a program; and a few declared that they preferred him to Sinatra. Tibbett Not the Type?
Lois Bradstreet, College freshman,
remarked, "Tibbett has too much
voice where there should be a sigh."
"I like Sinatra best on the Hit
Parade. I don't think Tibbett is
the type," was the opinion of Betty Lay,
College junior.
The $64 question for the nation's bobby-soxers this week is can Lawrence Tibbett replace Frank Sinatra on the Hit Parade? On the basis of the Daily Kansan poll of students who listened to last Saturday's broadcast, there seems to be doubt whether the Metropolitan opera baritone can take over the "Voice" show.
ior, said, "I thought it was sort of a big joke. The Hit Paraders and Bea Wain pretty well kept Tibbett under cover, though, by singing all the good songs."
Other students definitely preferring Frankie included Martha Yingling, College junior; Gloria Gray, College sophomore; Maxine Millhauser, College sophomore; Shirley Carl, College sophomore; Rosalie Morton, Business junior; Doris Dixon, College junior; Joanne Bauer, College senior; and Lorraine Carpenter, Fine Arts freshman.
Some of the fellows have even become new Sinatra fans to judge by Dave Frisbie, Engineering freshman, who said, "After hearing Tibbett, I am even ready to swoon for Sinatra" and by Bill MacGregor, College freshman, who answered, "After Saturday night's performance on

Fellows Turn to Frankie
Bacteriology Club to Meet Tonight The Bacteriology club will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in room 502 Snow hall, Doris Dunkley, president, announced this morning.
Sixth Army Invasion Forces Move Toward Philippine Capital, Cutting Enemy Reserves and Supply Routes
(BULLETIN)
London—A dispatch received here from neutral sources said the Allies have captured LaRoche.
(International News Service)
Vast reserves of Japanese mechanized weapons were cut off today with destruction of three vital bridges north of Manila, while U. S. Sixth army invasion forces moved southward toward the Philippine capital and a showdown fight with the Japanese.
The bridges located some 30 miles north of Manila are necessary links in the enemy's key transportation artery to the north.
Late Train Stops White Address
William L. White, noted Kansas reporter, war correspondent, and author, missed the deadline this morning, and the second University convocation scheduled this week was called off. Dr. Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, announced to an audience of about 2000 students and faculty members in Hoch auditorium that Mr. White had been detained in Kansas City because of train connections. Mr. White was to give an off the record talk on "Russia."
The Emporia journalist, noted for his books, "They Were Expendable," "Queens Die Proudly," and "Journey For Margaret," was expected to arrive in Lawrence before noon. Dean Lawson said it would be impossible to hold the convocation later today since no definite future time could be arranged then and it would be difficult to get word of the new period to students. Mr. White was planning to catch an 11:45 train from Lawrence this morning.
Laurel Anderson, music professor in the School of Fine Arts, entertained with a number of organ selections during the first part of the convocation period.
Huberman's Return Said Improbable
Bronislaw Huberman, Polish violinist, whose concert on Dec. 4 was interrupted by his sudden illness, will not make a return appearance on the University concert course this winter because of inability to secure pullman reservations from Lawrence to the West coast on the dates open for the proposed concert.
Mrs. Wilkins, wife of Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice in the School of Fine Arts, became a member of the Metropolitan Opera company two years ago. This season she has been making an extensive coast to coast concert tour.
Dean D. M. Swarthout, manager of the concert course, who has been attempting to bring the artist back for a second concert, said that there is a remote possibility that in the spring a concert may be scheduled.
In addition, Dean Swarthout has arranged a concert on Feb. 5 by Marie Wilkins, soprano. This will be a complimentary addition to the concert course for activity ticket and season ticket holders.
Aerial observation showed that the enemy has vast mechanized reserves below Manila-forces which now are believed isolated. Ground Forces Advance
American ground forces continued to advance from their 15-mile long beachhead on Lingayen gulf capturing an airfield and four towns, the American invaders moved ahead from four to possibly more than 10 miles. No serious resistance has yet been encountered by the U.S. forces.
Superfortresses Strike Tokyo
The Americans struck the Japanese in other quarters also. Tokyo reported that B-29 Superfortresses raided the Japanese capital last night and blasted the Jap-held British naval base at Singapore.
A dismal note was the official navy announcement that three destroyers had been亡 in a western Pacific tycoon while engaged in combat missions. Seven smaller craft operating in the same war zone were destroyed by enemy action, the navy said.
Buldge Caving In
In the European war the German-Belgium-Luxembourg bulge appeared to be caving in. American artillery blasted the last German escape route in the Ardennes pocket and Allied armies closed in from three sides.
Steady American and British attacks from the north west and south absorbed almost a dozen additional towns. U. S. Seventh army troops captured two towns.
On the eastern front the Russians gained control of three-fourth of encircled Budapest. West and north west of the city Germans attempting to break through to the surrounded defenders were repelled.
Students Register Unexpected Interest In Guidance Bureau
A total of 210 applications for assistance in choosing an occupation, and doing better school work, have been received by the Vocational Guidance bureau from University students so far this year, Dr. A. H. Turney, director, said this morning.
Dr. Turney remarked if the new bureau had received 150 interested students in its first year he would have been satisfied. At present the bureau is receiving an average of two classes a day, and Professor Turney expects to have conferences and give tests to many interested high school students, as well as University students, during the spring and summer months.
