Tito of Yugoslavia Wages Terrific War
Tito has become a real challenge to Adolph Hitler. He is the Marshall of Yugoslavia, supreme commander of the National Liberation army and the Partisan detachments, and chairman of the National Defense commission. Until the Nazis entered the Balkans and broke Yugoslavia into several parts, Tito was not known as the leader he is today. He began leading the forces of the Yugoslavs against the Germans when the Chetniks under General Draja Mihailovich apparently exhausted their power. When the Germans first fought Tito's men, they treated them as spies and traitors, but now consider them as enemies to be fought on large scale.
Tito is 55 years old, though he looks much younger. He has a strong face and a boldly carved profile. He speaks several Slavic tongues besides his native Croation, and German, Russian, and French. He reads English fluently, but seldom speaks it for fear he will make mistakes.
Tito's forces are all Yugoslavs while the Chetniks, the other guerrilla group in Yugoslavia, headed by General Mihailovich, represents only Serbians. The Chetniks were the first forces to fight against the Germans, but according to Winston Churchill, they allowed themselves to make accommodations with Italian and German troops which resulted in their doing very little fighting against the enemy. Last week a communique was issued from Tito's headquarters stating that General Mahailovich was personally in command of a German-Quisling offensive in West Bosnia against Tito's Partisan forces. The communique said the Chetniks "are well provided with ammunition, tanks, and trucks by the Germans."
The Yugoslav Marshal has declared that his forces will fight with the Allies until the German and other conquerors are annihilated. As far as postwar organization is concerned Tito has declared that "It is our wish to continue closest friendship and collaboration with our allies after the war."W.T.

Construction Nearing End In Observatory Move
Preliminary steps in the plan to move the University observatory to the roof of Lindley hall are nearing completion. Construction necessary in the movement of the small telescope was begun six weeks ago but was delayed because of rain and shortage of help. However, it will be finished in two or three weeks. N.W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, estimated.
Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Rain or Shine — The Theta Tau picnic of Saturday night will long be remembered by those who attended, as having not one dull moment. After listening to a blow by blow account we can understand the sentiment.
Six o'clock p.m. Saturday arrived, accompanied by a drenching downpour, and the picknickers boarded two hayracks, one the regulation high walled type drawn by horses, and the other a streamlined version with rubber tires and powered by mules.
The climax came when, wet but gorged the party waited—in vain—for the hayracks to return. The boys finally had to call cabs to take the girls home.
On arriving at the delightful spot somewhere north of Lawrence, the picknickers adjourned en mass to a small shelter house, which, it was later discovered was quite unprepared for the roaring fire immediately built there. After several attempts at frying steaks in the smoking inferno the engineers gave it up, and took the meat to the Pit to be cooked. Dinner was served at 9 p.m.
A New One — Last week Harriet Leake swallowed a pin. Alarmed Foster hall sisters rushed her to the hospital at once, where 12 X-rays were taken, and Harriet was granted a pass allowing her to miss classes, closing hours, and other inconveniences. For a week the search has continued, and—no pin. Fosterites are withholding their sympathy at the moment for a little more proof.
Helping Hand — Sigma Kappas presented a back-to-nature scene at their party Saturday night, with farmerrete pinafores for atmosphere, and hay as the decorative item in abundance. At 12 o'clock the SK's took one look at their ripe and ready-for-reaping chapter house, a second look at their dates, and everyone pitched in. By closing time the chapter house was completely harvested.

Two for the Price — Pi Phi's also entertained with an informal party Friday night, technically a no-date affair. Most of the guests had a special reason in mind for attending, however, and the climax came when Bob Malott, Beta, and Buckey Edmondson, Sigma Chi, made their entrance, in search of the same reason—Pat Tuller. Pat spent a busy and, quote — unamusing — unquote, evening.
Mu Phi Opera Plays To Full House Again
"Hansel and Gretel" again played to a full house in its concluding performance at 8 p.m. yesterday, and Mu Phi Epsilon's presentation of the well-known opera was acclaimed by many to be the outstanding music event of the year.
--alone measured six feet across. This species has been found more abundantly in Kansas than in any other plains state. Ox-like, the latifrons must have weighed as much as 2000 pounds.
Heading the cast with their outstanding performances were Mary Louise Beatie as Gretel and Miss Jeannette Cass as the Witch. Suzanne Schmidt as Hansel and Ruth Russell as the mother were also excellent in their parts.
Favorite scenes, as with the audience, Sunday afternoon, were "The Children's Prayer" and the dream sequence of the second act. The colorful finale, showing the freeing of the Gingerbread Children from the Witch's spell and the arrival of the mother and father, concluded the opera amid the rejoicing of cast and the hearty applause of the audience.
"Hansel and Gretel" this year took the place of the annual Mu Phi Epsilon spring vespers. Members of the honorary music society sang in the opera and also took charge of costumes and properties.

American 'Buffalo' Is Bison; Dyche Exhibits Them Stuffed
(Editor's note: To interest readers in Dyche museum, the Daily Kansan is presenting a series of six short articles dealing with animals that once lived in our state but today are largely extinct. Specimens of these animals are on exhibition in Dyche museum at the present time. Bison, elephants, mastodons, camels, rhinoceroses, and horses will be discussed. Today we present the bison).
"Buffalo" Bill Cody was quite a cowboy. But his name was all wrong. If the pioneers had been up on their toes, they would have called him "Bison" Bill, and all would have been correct. Because, technically speaking, there "ain't no seek animale" as the American buffalo.
Seven bison species in all migrated to America. The largest was the bison latifrons, whose horns
Those woolly mammals which the pioneers and the Indians hunted on the plains were bison, which is another thing entirely. The only real buffalo in the world is the water buffalo of India and the cape buffalo of South Africa. Bison bear only a slight resemblance to these animals.

Bison started out from Siberia quite a few centuries ago in the Ice age. A land connection is supposed to have existed between Siberia and Northern America, and over this the bison migrated southward into the plains region. A member of the ox family, it is the only specimen of that group that ever reached America as a wild animal.

At Dyche museum are many excellent displays of the bison. The evolution from the latifrons down to the present day American bison is interesting even for an amateur to observe. Even the horns tell a story. On the earliest specimen the heavy horns, each measuring three feet in length, extend straight out from the skull. In later specimens shown, the horns have gradually become shorter. They have curved in order (continued to page three)
