Regents Alter Ban Prohibiting Jap Students
Topeka—INS—The Kansas State board of regents today relaxed its ban on admission of Japanese students to educational institutions to admit Japanese-Americans serving with the armed forces.
Those veterans honorably discharged would benefit from state educational training under the "GI bill of rights." Their admission was agreed upon by the regents in a resolution, but the policy which prevailed operated only through a tacit understanding with educational directors in the state schools.
Not Until End of War
At least until the end of the war, it is unofficially made clear, no Japanese-Americans will be permitted to enroll in state schools—except those honorably discharged from military forces, the Topeka Capital said today.
The issue first came up when the War Relocation Authority, in charge of Japanese-Americans being evacuated frm the West Coast area, sought their admission in Kansas state schools. The regents rejected the offer and applied the policy to all members of the race.
Race Not Mentioned
In its resolution modifying this stand, the Board of Regents makes no mention of ancestry, simply stating that anyone with an honorable discharge from the armed forces of the United States will be eligible to matriculate under the "GI" bill.
During the former administration, not long after Pearl Harbor, the Governor served public notice that Japanese-Americans were not wanted in Kansas and threatened to use Highway Patrolmen to escort them out if any should appear. There was a disposition at that time to work them in sugar beet fields.

Winter Schedule To Be Ready Soon
Fire Doesn't Touch Clay in Kiln Used for Ceramics in Haworth
The first tea dance of this year will be held from 3 to 5 Saturday afternoon in the Union lounge, Jane Atwood, vice-president of the Student Union Activities, announced today.
"Copies of the winter schedule of classes will be ready for distribution about the middle of October," Dean Paul B. Lawson has announced. The schedule has been sent to the printer in Topeka, but students wishing to consult the schedule now may check with a carbon copy in the College office, said Miss Lear.
"These afternoon dances are given especially for the service men at the University, and they will be admitted after presenting their activity tickets," Miss Atwood said. All women students are invited to attend the dance. There is no charge made to them since they already have their activity books which entitles them to the privileges of the Union.
Tea Dances to Start Saturday Afternoon For K.U. Servicemen
Refreshments will be served during the dance and the music will be supplied by a record player. This dance was planned by the social committee with Miss Atwood as the chairman.
Hull Stops Goods Bound for Argentine
Washington (INS)—A severe economic blow was directed against Argentina today by disclosure that the black list of firms trading with the Axis will definitely be continued after the collapse of Germany.
Fire does the work, but it doesn't touch the clay in the production of pottery at the Haworth hall tuble on the kiln.
In parallel news, Secretary of State Hull today ordered all American shipping to the Argentine Republic ended on October 1.
Of the 44 countries and territories these nationals have been placed on the "proclaimed list of blocked nations," (the black list).
Fine arts students discover that the large oven-like structure has a series of tubes from the firebox to the lining of the inner walls of the kiln through which the heat is conveyed, and through which the fire travels to the chimney.
Argentina had the greatest number with 1,654.
To fill the box the door and several tubes are removed. The pottery is then placed inside the kiln on small tripods and the tubes are set in grog clay and are replaced and the door is sealed with wet asbestos.
When the pottery has been placed in the kiln and the door securely sealed so that it is air tight, the pilot
When the desired degree of heat is reached the fire is turned out and the kiln is allowed to cool for 48 hours. Then the kiln is opened and the bisque, or fired ware, is removed and the glaze is applied. This glaze, a thin coating of glass-like substance covering the body of the ware is sprayed on and the ware is returned to the kiln where the baking process is repeated.

light is lighted and gradually the fire is turned up until the heat within the kiln reaches from 1814 to 1900 degrees. The cone, a piece of specially treated clay whose melting point is known, is the method which is used in measuring the heat in the kiln. Segar phrometric cones are used.
WAVES to Interview Students Two Days Here Next Week
A special WAVES board will establish headquarters on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week at the Jayhawk theater to interview women interested in joining the WAVES and to give them complete information on the WAVES program. Members of the board will be on duty each day from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m., according to a communication from the Topeka navy recruiting station.
The visit of the WAVES board at this time will lend emphasis to the fact that despite the generally favorable war news, the need for additional WAVES remains urgent.
Complete information will be given by the board on qualifications for enlistment in the WAVES, pay scales, opportunities for advancement, the wide variety of jobs done by WAVES, the special training offered, and opportunities for recreation and travel. The benefits which are available to service women under the new G. I. Bill of Rights will be explained.
Women from 20 to 35 years of age inclusive, with no dependents under 18 are eligible to apply for enlistment in the WAVES.
Blood Donor Drive Lags Behind Quota
The momentum that is needed to swing the autumn Blood Bank drive is still missing, Mrs. Ralph I. Canuteson reported today. Mrs. Canuteson, a member of the enrollment committee which is making appointments for donors at the Red Cross office, stated that of the 504 donors needed, the total registration so far is but 119.
An average of better than 100 a day is needed if the Blood Bank is to fill its quota for Lawrence and the University, Mrs. Canuteson said.
Appointments may be made between 9:30 to 12 noon and 1:30 to 5 p.m. throughout the week by calling 640, she explained.

(International News Service)
German reports of a major American offensive in the Belfort gap sector are closely followed today by an imposition of strict military censorship at Allied supreme headquarters.
Previous Nazi dispatches had declared that General George S. Patton's third army was preparing for a major blow, a collaboration with the U.S. seventh army forces and Lt. General Alexander M. Patch.

A board of officers which interviewed the 23 army trainees taking the pre-medicine course at the University last Saturday has submitted its recommendations to the commanding general seventh service command.
Of the 23 trainees, 17 were recommended for selection and assignment for medical training to begin some time in 1945. The Commandant will announce the names of the trainees selected when the report of the board of officers is approved by higher officials.
Upon the completion of their premedicine work, the successful candidates will be assigned to army general hospitals and perform practical medical corp work until assigned to a recognized school of medicine at various universities throughout the United States.
Voters Puzzled Over State Constitutional Amendment Change
Topeka-Inquiries have flooded the office of Frank J. Ryan, secretary of state, asking explanation of a state constitutional amendment to be voted upon in November.
The amendment concerns home-stead of insane persons, and lawyers explain it thus:
Under the Kansas Constitution, no homstead may be "alienated" by the spouse or guardian of an insane person thru selling, leasing or mortgaging the land.
If the amendment carries in November, and if the 1945 Legislature passes a bill to put it into effect, this part of the basic law will be abrogated.
Especially in oil sections, it is explained, a great deal of land is involved. In a typical case, a man's wife has been declared insane. Therefore, the husband is unable to lease for oil, to sell the land, or even to renew the mortgage on his land, since the Constitution prohibits such transactions unless both spouses can sign.
Should the amendment carry and the Legislature put the proposal into law, guardians appointed by courts could with the sane spouses, transact this type of business for those declared insane.

Stalemate in Metz Area
Another Red army is nearing complete encirclement of the Latvian capital of Riga.
The situation in the Metz area remained obscure, but a comparative stalemate was endured for the past four days.
On the Italian front, the Nazis hurled fresh troops in six determined counter blows against American fifth army forces, smashing for the Po valley through the center of the battered Gothic line. The attacks were repulsed and fifth army troops pressed forward to import- and gains along the Firnzuola highway.

Throughout the southwest Pacific area, from the Celebes to the Solomons, American heavy, medium, and fighter bombers along with fighter planes and light naval units smashed at Jap lands, air, and naval installations. Meanwhile, a naval Catalina flying patrol plane was reported to have spotted two Jap destroyer escorts refueling from a seaplane tender. In the day's outstanding exploit, the Catalina's crew sank all three Nip vessels in one pault and with the expenditure of only four aerial torpedoes.
