42ND YEAR
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10.1944
At least 23 towns have been seized by the third army since the new drive began. German defenses have varied but enemy troops have failed to counterattack or to employ armored units in an effort to halt the American advance.
Farther north bitter fighting continued inside the Reich with American first army forces rolling the Germans back southwest of Hurtgen and west of Schmidt in the Huertgen forest area before Cologne. German resistance ceased on the isle of Waicheren in Holland.
U.S. Third Army Is Fighting Close To Saar Basin
Russian troops surged across enemy defenses northeast and south of Budapest and threatened vital rail communications approaching the city.
(International News Service)
NUMBER 36
Driving into strategic positions all along the 50-mile battle front in Eastern France, the American third army today outflanked the city of Metz and at one point smashed to within a few miles of the vital Saar basin.
In the attack to the north one unit approached the German frontier northeast of Thionville and was less than 6 miles below the town of Mett-lach which is located in the Saar valley.
North of Metz the Yanks completed establishment of substantial bridgeheads across the Moselle river. South of the strongly fortified city, elements of the third army pressed forward on a 20-mile front as General George S. Patton's troops advanced two to four miles on both sides of Metz.
Eighth army troops in Italy captured the town of Forli while Negro troops of the American fifth captured three villages on the western flank.
In the Philippines, Yank troops made a substantial gain in the battle for Ormoc on Leyte island as they captured two heights overlooking the city where an estimated 35,000 Jap troops are pocketed.
First Frost Recorded Today
The first frost of the year was recorded this morning when the temperature dropped to 38 degrees above zero at 7 a.m. This is the latest frost ever recorded.
Aggies Flee Uncle Jim Paint Job
Submitting to a totally unexpected coat of white paint last night, Uncle Jimmy Green for once patiently withstood his maltreatment, not just in the name of law students, but for the University as a whole.
The large, "Beat KU," also painted in white on the sidewalk in front of Watson Library, indicates that the molesters were Manhattan enthusiasts who were out to dampen Jayhawkner spirit. Evidently they were Kansas State College students who visited Lawrence last night, or they were former Manhattanners, now attending the University, who remain loyal to the silo tech.
Crafton Selects 14 To Present Comedy; Will Practice Tonight
Showing initiative inferior to that of university students who paint the statue on St. Patrick's eve, the Manhattan boosters used only white paint and applied it so thinly that building and grounds workers were able to remove it in a short time this morning. Although they have not done a four color job, the silo tech artists must be commended for they are not spending today in jail.
Fourteen students have been chosen to appear at the first rehearsal of "Tune in Yesterday," a comedy written by Prof. Allen Crafton, at 7:30 p.m. tonight, according to a statement by Professor Craftor
comedy written by Prof. Allen Crafton, at 7:30 p.m. tonight, according to a statement by Professor Crafton. Included in the tentative cast of characters are Mother Weismeyer, Shirley Kelley; Emma Lewis, Violet Conard; Pooley, Mary Louise Laffer; Opal, Sarah Heil; Juanita, Jo Ann McCrory; Hope, Shirley Corlett; Bobbie, Roberta Sue McCluggage; Rowdy, Marjorie Johnson; Betty Ann, Dorothy Savage; Lennie, Kathleen Jones; Jerry, Virginia Davis; Bee, Cornelia Ann Miller; Toots, Shirley Nan Hargiss; and Rosalee, Gloria Goff.
"Because I had no male actors, I was obliged to use plays with women this year. Consequently, I wrote a play centering about Zeta Beta Mu sorority and how the confusion of war and the man shortage effected college life," said Professor Crafton.
KU Pipe-Smoking Coeds Attain Nation-Wide Fame
This all began, it went on to say,
BARRY BALDWIN
Pipe smoking has become the popular thing among University of Kansas co-eds, who are even credited with originating the fad. This seems to be more generally known in other parts of the country than here on the campus, however.
Because of the cigarette shortage, Kansas women are allegedly turning to this substitute. A Los Angeles paper announced this fact this fall in a story accompanying a picture of three University of Southern California girls respectively engaged in (1) smoking a last cigarette, (2) trying a corn cob pipe, and (3) rolling her own. The story explained that co-eds and movie actresses had been driven to these limits as a result of the shortage.
K. U. students wondering the reason for all of this amazing publicity are considering these two possible theories: the Los Angeles paper needed a distant university for their story and picked on us, or that some reporter in desperate need of something to turn in for the day,

"several months ago back on the campus of the University of Kansas." A clerk in a Lawrence drug store sold a whole card of 25 cent corn cob pipes to girl students.
Our fame has spread even farther than California. The story was sent in a news broadcast to service men overseas and is now something the fellows are beginning to write home about.

Malott Attends Meetings At Emporia and Topeka
Chancellor Deane W. Malott attended a meeting of the William Allen White Foundation committee at Emporia yesterday. The meeting was called by Henry J. Allen, former governor. Today the chancellor attended a meeting of the Board of Regents at Topeka. The University's budget for the next two years was considered.
Ingalls to Speak At 'Y' Meeting
Dr. Ingalls will be the guest of honor Monday noon at a luncheon given by Chancellor Deane W. Malott and a group of faculty members at the Memorial Union building. Dr. Ingalls will discuss religious education problems with the faculty members.
"Student Citizens of the World" will be the subject of a talk Monday by the Rev. Dr. Harold B. Ingalls, associate executive secretary of the student division of the National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations, at a meeting sponsored by the University YMCA and YWCA clubs. The joint meeting, which is open to all University students, will begin at 4:30 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building, Rachel VanderWerf, YWCA executive secretary, has announced.

Jellison Will Speak Tomorrow Morning
Dean Discovers How Not to Lock a Car
Dr. William L, Jellison, authority on Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever who is connected with the U. S. Public Health Service at Hamilton, Mont., will speak on "Diseases of Rodents and Lacomorphs Transmissible to Man," at 11 a.m. tomorrow in room 206, Snow hall. The meeting is open to staff members and advanced students of all biology departments.
As a major in the U. S. army, Dr Jellison was a member of the American Medical commission in China in 1941 and 1942. He is an authority on Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, tulereemia, encephalitis, and ectoparasites of wild mammals.
Dr. Jellison will go to St. Louis from here, where he will address the annual convention of the Public Health service next week.
No welcome mat was out this morning in the office of Dean Henry Werner, adviser of men. One would have gotten the impression that Dean Werner had risen this morning on the wrong side of the bed. But the real reason is that he used a "special" method of locking his car last night, and has been unable to enter it since.
Dean Werner said that he planned to change clothes tonight and enter his car the hard way, from the floorboards.
Spirit Is High for Game Tomorrow As K.U. Team Gets Ready to Fight The Ambitious K-State Wildcats
It may be Armistice Day throughout the rest of the nation, but a determined Kansas Jayhawk squad will have fire in their hearts tomorrow when they tangle with an ambitious Kansas State Wildcat eleven seeking its first conference victory at Manhattan.
Coach Henry Shenk has named the following men to take the jaunt into Aggie-land this evening: Ivory Bird, Keith Bradley, Tom Bailey, Garland Cantrall, Dan Chase, Bill Chestnut, Milford Collins, Joe Coupe, Kenneth Danneberg, Dud Day, Don Faulkner, Robert Gove, Lee Gregory, Wayne Hird, Sam Hunter,
V-12's Given Hour Leave For Rally
The send-off for the KU team as it leaves for Manhattan will last until 7:22, train time. The University of Kansas band, KuKus, and Jay Janes will all be present at tonight's rally. Jim Conard, cheerleader, said today. Conard said that plans are being formed for a rally at Manhattan for KU students tomorrow. Details will be announced tonight.
V-12's have been granted liberty until 8 p.m. tonight, so they may attend the 7 p.m. pep rally at the Union Pacific station, Lt. C. A. Michelman said today.
"Manhattan always gives us a tough fight." Conard said. "If a student wants to help his team, the best thing to do is to come to the rally tonight."
21 Students Attend Quill Club Meeting
Twenty-one students attended the Quill club's first meeting of the semester in the English room, Union building, last night at 8 o'clock.
The group voted to meet every other Thursday and Nov. 30 was set for the next regular date.
Addie Egbert, acting chairman,
explained the qualifications for
membership in this student writers'
group. Manuscripts for application
must be submitted to the
English office, Fraser hall, before
Jan. 4. Any creative writing, poetry,
narration, or description will be
accepted. There is no word limit,
and a student may enter as many
compositions as he likes.
A committee will judge the writings with the assistance of John E. Hankins, English professor, who is faculty adviser for the club. Dr. E. M. Hopkins, professor in English, founded the first Quill club, in 1900, as the result of interest in his prose conventions class to "improve their writing technique." Miss Egbert explained further that Quill club is a national organization with thirteen schools now using Dr. Hopkins' Quill club constitution, which he wrote in 1913.
Quill club is distinctive in that it employs no Greek or Latin names. Feoh Rune, which is Anglo-Saxon for first, is the name given to the campus organization.

Team in Good Shape
The Crimson and Blue squad is in very good shape for the first time this season, with no one injured to the point where he will be kept from the contest. Only change from last week in the Jayhawk lineup will at blocking back, where Don Faulkner will get the starting call.
Mr. Shenk was not encouraged this morning when he learned of the Aggie raid on K.U. last night. Wildcat spirits have never been higher in recent years. Places of business in Manhattan will be closed from 1 to 5 p.m. for the game, and the Kansas State athletic office looks for the largest crowd of the year at the game.
The Kansas State eleven remained in a state of tension today at the game drew ever nearer. Coach Ward Haylett issued instructions to "Think football and nothing else until after the homecoming game." Two Aggie ends will be playing their last game tomorrow. Forris Frick will report for army induction on Nov. 17, while Delbert Torkelson, reserve, has been awarded an Annapolis appointment. Aggies Raid K.U.
Coach Haylett was outstanding in his praise of the Kansas Sutherland to Moffett passing attack, and has been working all week to stop it. He also fears the Jayhawk scoring punch which has averaged 19 points in five games, though going scoreless in two of them. In the event of a close contest, Haylett has had Ron-
