Yanks Advance Within 5 Miles Of Cherbourg
(International News Service)
American troops punched their way to within five miles of Cherbourg today. Late advices received at supreme headquarters reported the Americans to be "in touch" with Cherbourg outer defenses, but spokesmen warned that the tremendously swift gains of the last 24 hours cannot be maintained for long.
Official spokesmen confirmed the capture of Montebourg. In the center of the line British troops established themselves at Tilly Sur Seille and occupied the village of Hottot. Yanks Make Second Big Gain
Headquarters spokesmen said American naval and coast guard casualties since D-day were "almost believably light."
Another major gain was scored by doughboys with a two-mile advance north of the three-way junction center of St. Lo while major gains were reported throughout the Valognes sector with the town itself surrounded on three sides. Unofficial reports said Valognes has fallen to the Americans.
NUMBER 176
Finland Loses Viipuri to Reds
A force of 1,500 American heavy bombers—the largest formation of its kind ever sent into action—struck at Nazi robot plane-launching installations in the Pas de Calais area, and at oil tanks and plane plants in the Reich. The onslaught followed five similar attacks yesterday and last night and was followed by several hours of silence on the part of the Nazi secret weapon. Further assaults were at the lowest ebb since the robot craft was introduced.
Finland Loses Vipuri to Reds
Supreme headquarters announced that Thunderbolt fighter bombers have cut the rail line near Chartres, France in 18 places.
Satellite Finland also reeled under heavy new blows. Stockholm reported that the Red army occupied Viipuri, Finland's second largest city and the town whose fall in the winter war led to the cessation of hostilities.
Raymond A. Eberhart, a special student in the School of Fine Arts in 1941-42, has been promoted to staff sergeant. He is stationed in North Africa.
In the Pacific American troops on Blak island gained new ground as did other units on Saitan, where the Nipponese lost 300 planes n a vain counter blow.
Short Session Total Enrollment Now 85
Additional enrollments in the Guidance Institute and Work Shop and the eight weeks session have brought the total to approximately 85, according to J. W. Twente, dean of the School of Education.
Mberhart Promoted to S/Sgt.
The third day of the two-week Guidance Institute and Work Shop will start at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow with a talk on training for personnel management by Charles Stevenson of Hall Brothers, Kansas City, Mo. At 1:30 that afternoon, E. O. Stene, associate professor of political science, will speak on "Personnel in the Public Service."
Rain Today Better Than Foxholes?
An AST going to classes this morning in his overashes helmet, boots, and raincoat while an unusually heavy rain beat down from overhead was heard to observe to his companion. "Oh well, this is better than fighting in a foxhole. Here it only rains one day, and over there it's hell all the time."
Student reactions to a downpour of 1.28 inches between 7 and 12 this morning were varied. Many girls took off their shoes and splashed to classes barefoot.
Others, waking to find the water falling in blinding torrents, while thunder roared and lightning added to the general fierceness of the scene, went back to bed and let their classes meet without them.
Nominees Elected For Faculty Group
Five persons have been nominated for membership on the administrative committee as the result of recent balloting by the College faculty. Balloting is now in progress to select two of the five nominees. They are E. F. Beth, J. N. Carman, John E. Hankins, L. R. Laudon, and Calvin VanderWerf. The successful candidates will replace J. W. Ashton and A. W. Davidson, who are retiring from the committee.
Announcement of the results of the balloting will be made at the meeting of the College faculty at 9:15 am., Thursday, June 29, at which time the graduation list will be approved. The graduate faculty will meet 15 minutes earlier.
The sociology picnic has been postponed because of the rain.

Wednesday's issue of the Daily Kansan will be the last of the University year. All news items and notices should be in early on that day to insure publication. The first issue of the Summer Session Kansan, to be published twice weekly, will appear July 4.
Tomorrow Is Last Day Daily Kansan Will Appear
Fourteen promotions in rank for members of the faculty of the University and the School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kan., were announced today by the Chancellor's office.
Evolution of Jayhawk Into Respectable Myth
Three others were raised from the rank of assistant professor to associate professor. They are D. D. Haines of the civil engineering department, M. L. Thompson of the geology department, and Gilbert Ulmer of the mathematics department. With the rank of associate professor they will have a seat in the University senate.
Charles H. Drake, instructor in bacteriology and Miss Margaret O'Briant, instructor in secretarial training, were made assistant professors.
14 Promotions Among Faculty
Three associate professors, receiving the title of professor are J. N. Carman and R. G. Mahieu, both of the French department, and H. B. Chubb of the political science department.
George Walker was promoted from assistant to associate professor of pathology. Ralph W. Edwards and J. R. Elliot were advanced from associate in surgery to assistant professor in surgery. Michael Bernreiter, former instructor is now associate in medicine. Jesse D. Rising was promoted from instructor to associate in pharmacology, and Arnold V. Arms, former assistant is now instructor in medicine.

Now that the Jayhawk has been reinstated into the circle of respectable myths, the fuddie duddies who tried to eradicate him are beginning to see that they have done wrong by themselves.
From the outset, the story is somewhat of an embarrassment to Kansans. The bird, according to the late Dr. F. W. Blackmar, had its rise in the characters of the blue jay, a noisy quarrelsome robber that takes delight in pounding upon smaller birds and robbing their nests of eggs and young, and the sparrow hawk, a genteel killer of birds, rats, mice, and rabbits.
In reality they succeeded only in arousing more interest. People are asking about his plumed excellence. Why and how did he come into his imaginary state of existence? Has he always been the same? Or was he too, caught in the evolution?
**Combination of Jav-Hawk**
They wanted people to forget about the red and blue fowl with the belligerent personality, because school children were beginning to think he was real—with a nest, feathers, and the customary disturbing bird habits.
The combined characteristics of these two birds apparently described the Kansas of Civil War days so well, that their two names were fused and tacked on to the frontiersman.
Finally jayhawking became a general term to express marauding or plundering. It has taken many generations of prohibition Kansans to make the word respectable.
Whenever bands were organized for evil intent they were candidates for the name either through choice or through the derision and hatred of enemies.
Henry Maloy, a student at the University in 1910 was one of the most important figures in the process of giving the Jayhawk a physical being. Up until that time, although as far back as the gay nineteens a bird had been used to represent the University on posters, postcards, etc., the Jayhawk had no particular form or personality. Usually, in fact, the word was applied to persons only.
Then one day Maloy saw a stuffed chicken hawk in one of the Lawrence store windows and went home (continued to page four)

Miss Dunn, of Kansas City, Mo., is a student of Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano in the School of Fine Arts, and is appearing in the recital in partial fulfillment of requirements for the master of music degree.
In the concluding section of the program Miss Dunn will be assisted by Professor Chiapus playing the orchestral parts of "Concerto in B Flat" (Brahms) at a second piano.

Freshman Is Awarded French Book Prize
Marjorie May Shryock, of Kansas City, Mo., was awarded the annual French book prize this morning, W. H. Shoemaker, head of the department of romance languages and literatures, announced. The book presented this year is the quartosize, illustrated novel "La Tulipe Noire" ("The Black Tulip"), by Alexander Dumas, famous for his "Three Musketeers" and the "Count of Monte Cristo."
The book prize was established several years ago as an award of the French government through its diplomatic representative in Chicago. One of the prerequisites of the award for underclassmen is excellence in scholarship.
Miss Shryock, a freshmen in the College, is enrolled in courses in modern French writers and French composition.
Last year the prize was awarded to Frances Morrill.
