Baseball Team To Open Season With Iowa State
The University baseball team will travel to Ames, Iowa, Saturday to meet the Iowa State Cyclones in KU's opening game.
Coach Jack Austin has been working his charges hard and long the past few weeks getting them in shape. Baseball at the University probably will be played throughout the summer as classes continue straight through.
The team has shown considerable improvement the past week as a result of the intensive practice. The hitting has improved but is still weak in spots. The key-stone combination of Corder and Wolcott has been looking especially good both on defense and offense, and the rest of the infield has been rounding into shape.
The Jayhawks are expecting plenty of trouble at Ames as the Cyclones have a seasoned ball club with several victories already to their credit.
Coach Austin has made a tentative starting line-up for the Iowa State, but remarked that several changes may be made before game time.
The line-up:
Corder, ss; Smith, If; Woolcott, 2b; Gaba, Barrington, or Farber, 3b; Sinclair or Daleen, c; Rohrbaugh, 1b; Scalzo, rf; Barrington or Heim, cf; Saffell or Slipsager, p.
Cartlich Gets Ideas For Woolf Bros. Ads From All Sources
Weather forms a very important basis on which to write advertising copy as it keeps ads right up to the minute, George Cartlich, advertising executive for Woolf Bros. store in Kansas City, told to advertising majors and other journalism students yesterday afternoon. Mr. Cartlich used samples of the ads which have been published during the past 30 years to illustrate points in his lecture.
Mr. Cartilh writes the copy and draws many of the illustrations for the ads which have made the Woolf Bros. famous.
Paraphrases on headlines in the news as well as inspirations derived from other periodicals, provide him with ideas for advertisements, explained Mr. Cartlich. Last Christmas Eve one of his ads was published in the London Times. For two months afterward the store received letters from homesick soldiers stationed in England, who had seen the picture of the familiar store.
He always stresses the unusual—anything to catch the hurried reader's eye and attract his attention and interest, Mr. Cartlich said.
At present many of the ads are directed toward patriotic efforts and institutional advertising, Mr. Cartliich explained, but after the war advertising will make appeals to men, women, and children along entirely different lines. He thinks more emphasis will be placed on the young people.

Mr. Wellman was a guest of the department of journalism on Monday, May 8, when he gathered the information for his article.
Officers Men Battle In Softball
Enlisted men of the Navy will have a chance to talk back to their superior officers this afternoon with the aid of bats when they meet them on the baseball field.
The officers brought it on themselves, so they will have no complaint, the salts say. Officers issued a challenge to the Ship's Company of the University Naval Training School, for a game of softball at 4 p.m. today and the challenge was accepted more quickly than the officers could give a command.
Both officers and men are expecting a lot of fun out of the game when dignity will be cast aside and the ol' razz will be in order.
Penny Also Selected To Play on All-Stars
Another member of the University of Kansas football team received a bid from Arch Ward, Sports Editor of the Chicago Tribune, to become a member of the "All-Star" college squad that will play the Chicago Bears in Chicago the night of Aug. 30.
Junius Penny, tackle-center on the University of Kansas football team for the past two years, this week received the invitation to play with the "All-Stars." Penny, who was rated one of the best line-backers in the Big Six the years he played, still has another year of college competition.
George Dick, who was honorary captain of the 1943 squad, last week received a bid from Ward, and has accepted the invitation.

Mr. Townsley, whose father, Judge C. P. Townsley, founded the Great Bend Tribune, attended Washburn College in Topeka for three years but quit in 1904 to work on the Tribune. Although active in politics, Mr. Townsley never aspired to political office. He took part, however, in Republican party councils, in formulating policies, in conducting campaigns, and in advocating better roads and a lake-building program in Kansas. He died in 1935.
Published Lyons Republi
Clark Conkling, who died in 1939, was publisher of the Lyons Republican, columnist on the Lyons Daily News, and representative from Rice county in the state legislature for five terms. He was born in Sharonville, Ohio, and attended Western Reserve College in Cleveland, but went west "to grow up with the country."
After working on the Sterling Bulletin for seven months, Mr. Conkling went to Lyons and got a job on the Weekly Republican. When the Lyons Daily News bought the Republican in 1924, Mr. Conkling acquired some stock, kept his desk in the News office, and became an associate of Editor Paul Jones. He wrote a column, mostly about state and national politics, for the Daily News.

In these times when priorities and rationing seem to prohibit any kind of collecting, there is at the University a collector whose work the government actually encourages.
Philately requires no service expense for the government, and the revenue derived from selling stamps continues to pour into the federal vaults. H. B. Chubb, associate professor of political science, is one of the few K. U. philatelists who has made a hobby of bargaining for new and used postage stamps.
Stamps Are Records of History, Prof. H. B. Chubb, Philatelist, Says
In his collection of more than 5-000 stamps, there are some of the rarest specimens in the country, although he asserts he is a rank amateur in the field.
"A one-time boyhood hobby was neglected," commented Professor Chubb, "until I served as staff librarian for congress in Washington, D. C., from 1913 to 1917. Interest was renewed in my collecting when quantities of foreign stamped mail passed through my hands."
History Portrayed in Stamps
Since Professor Chubb has been teaching international relations and similar courses at the University, he has hoped to prepare slides of his stamps to illustrate the events of history recorded on stamps. This plan has never been developed because the government secret service prohibits reproductions of stamps for educational purposes fearing counterfeiters.
Professor Chubb pointed out that stamps play an important role in tracing historical events. Following the Geneva peace conference, a stamp was published bearing a sword and dove in an artistic pattern. Contrasted with this was a black stamp known as a mourning stamp, which the Finns printed when Russia denied them the right to use their symbolic coat-of-arms. Regaining of their independence revived the former stamp engraved
Represents Occupied Countries
A valuable series that Professor Chubb has mounted consists of twelve 5c stamps representing the occupied countries of the present war. They include France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Austria, Albania, Luxemburg, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. Another series in Professor Chubb's collection consists of a complete series of tuberculosis seals which are published at Christmas time. The first seal was issued in 1907, and Professor Chubb has been offered large sums of money for the first few.
Professor Chubb enjoys recording the faces of dictators as they rise and fall from power. The United States has a policy never to reproduce the picture of a living man on stamps. Ranging from $1/2e to $5, many of our American published stamps honor former presidents.
"Stamp collecting is a tremendous business, and various companies specialize in sending representatives over the country to develop markets. This is because a stamp never decreases in face value, only increases," explained Professor Chubb. Two Panama stamps purchased a few years ago by Professor Chubb for 10c have now risen to $35 in value. Professor Chubb believes the greatest value of collecting lies in the knowledge of international affairs that the collector gains from his study. He is collecting a series of stamps from the localities in which American boys are fighting.

Northwestern Plans 'Unit Study' Program
A new program for students working for a bachelor of arts degree at Northwestern University, employing "units of study" instead of the "course" system, was announced yesterday by Franklin B. Snyer, university president.
The program will go into effect in the fall. Sixteen "units" are provided in the new curriculum, with four units included in each year of study.
Twenty Take Examination
The new program is designed to simplify and unify the body of knowledge believed essential to a liberal education, Snyder added. Some units prescribe certain subjects, but others permit selection by the student as in the units for sciences and languages.
