Rhoades Studio Will Provide 'Happy Hour'
The George Rhodes Studios of Kansas City, Kan., will present a program of dancing, music, singing, and short skits for the Navy Happy Hour at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening, April 11, according to Chief Petty Officer George O. Starkey, director of the shows.
This program will be the first Happy Hour since the one presented early in February by trainees of the machinist's mates program and University students.
"The Rhoades Studios presented a program last fall which the men enjoyed very much," said Chief Starkey. "It is hoped that George will be able to present a baton twirling number. He was sworn into the navy on March 25, but has not reported for active duty as yet."
Rhoades has been a student at the University for the past three years. He was in charge of instructing the baton twirlers during his freshman year and was drum major for the University Band last year and during the fall semester of 1943. He was enrolled in the School of Pharmacy.
"The public has been invited to attend the Happy Hour," said Chief Starkey.

Canteen in Lindley Reopened by Zipple
The ASTP canteen in Lindley hal has been placed under the direction of Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the University food service. Lt. Col. Watson L. McMorris, commandant of the University AST units, announced today. Miss Zipple will operate a refreshment counter in Lindley hall as a branch of the Memorial Union fountain.
"Due to the material decrease in the ASTP personnel, the Army dis-continued the canteen on March 31," said Lt. Col. McMorris. "It was impossible to operate the canteen on a self-sufficient basis with a smaller number of trainees."

The inspection was made by Col. C. H. Reimerth of the inspector general's department of the seventh Service Command in Omaha.

Following are the opinions of several students on this matter:
This plan, which was instituted in the University of North Carolina in 1935, stipulates that all University freshmen take a prescribed course of study worked out for them by a special staff of faculty advisers. All elective subjects will thus be relegated to the student's latter years in college, while the first year will be devoted to providing a broader education for the student.
Martha Rayl, F. Arts junior. "A rigid outline of the freshman's year in the University not only tyrannical, but fsh. Some freshmen may be fit iite about the course they wish pursue, but others have made up their minds. It is not fair to inconvenience the
Student attitudes toward the new "general college" plan, outlined by Dean Paul B. Lawson in a faculty meeting last week, show a variety of opinion.
Student Opinions Differ on Value Of New General College Plan
Donna Wingerson, College junior, answers, "I think that it would be a good thing to give students a variety of subjects to help them in choosing their vocation. It would do away with much of the confusion freshmen always feel."
Glennie Waters, College senior, says, "I think it is a good idea because I think that freshmen should have knowledge in all fields, and a basis in a field helps them to decide just in what particular field they are most interested."
latter for the benefit of the others, who with present group requirements, will end up with a well-rounded schedule anyway."
Margaret Ott, College sophomore, says, "Under this new plan, what classes would be required? I think the way we have to fill divisions and groups now, we practically are observing a required schedule."

Nazis Encircled At Tarnopol
(International News Service)
The day's chief land front news came from Moscow, which announced that Nazi troops encircated at both Tarnopol, key communication center of old Poland, and Skala were in a condition which could only be described as "desperate." Most of Tarnopol already is in Russian hands and powerful Soviet forces pushed through the town in savage hand-to-hand street fighting. Remnants of 15 Nazi divisions encircled near Skala failed in a series of frantic efforts to break out of the Russian ring of entrapment.
In Italy land attacks against new Allied positions at Montemorone, north of Cassino were beaten off and once again American and British artillery raked the German line in that ruined-town and at the Anzio beachhead.
Gen, Douglas McArthur's report on the Pacific told of a terrific new assault on the Japanese Hollandia base in New Guinea in which more than 300 bombers dropped more than 400 tons of high explosives and fragmentation shells upon enemy installations.
Gallery Exhibits K.U. Paintings
Now being exhibited at the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City are the paintings of Karl Mattern, professor of drawing and painting, and some oil paintings of Raymond J. Eastwood, former professor in the drawing and painting department who is now on leave from the army air corps.
For a number of years, the month of April at the Gallery was devoted to a series of one-man shows by contemporary American artists. The custom is being revived this year with a showing of oils, water-colors, and sculptures by six Kansas City artists and the two University instructors.
Prof. Mattern has taken first awards in several Kansas City exhibitions for both oil and watercolors. His watercolors have been exhibited in major exhibitions throughout the country and are owned by museums, and numerous private collections. Fifteen of Mr. Mattern's recent oil and watercolor paintings are also now on exhibit on the second floor of Spooner-Thayer museum.
Mr. Eastwood is represented in the exhibit by twelve oils of the coast of his native New England. In his "Portrait of Jenny", Robert Nathan advises a young painter to "leave the dunes to Eastwood." Examples of these pictures of the shifting sands may be seen in various offices on the campus.

Willkie Loses In Wisconsin GOP Primary
The 1940 Republican presidential candidate chose Wisconsin to test his chances for renomination. With more than half of the states 3,076 precincts accounted for, Governor Thomas E. Dewey, who has insisted he is not a presidential candidate appeared to have captured 17 of the state's 24 delegates to the national GOP convention.
Milwaukee, (INS) - The political challenge laid down in Wisconsin by Wendell Willkie boomeranged against him today.
Lt. Comdr. Harold E. Stassen, who has made no campaign but said he would accept the nomination if forthcoming, won four delegates, and Gen. Douglas McArthur, who has not announced himself a candidate for any office won three delegates. Willkie, however, carried his fight for Nebraska preferential votes to Fremont today. He declined to comment on the Wisconsin primary. Nebraska's Republican voters will choose on April 11 between Willkie and Stassen.
Willkie retained his strength in Oregon, but there was no opposition to test his popularity there. He was assured the states 15 votes in the national Republican convention after the deadline for candidates filing passed with no other presidential aspirants entered on the ballot.
Resolutions Adopted Directed to Members Of Forensic League
The values of speech training were drawn up in resolution by the directors of the Missouri Valley Forensic League during the tournament which took place here at the University, March 25. This resolution was directed to all the member schools of the league.
The work of the Forensic League has continued during these trouble, some times, and the present participation has emphasized the value of speech activity. The armed forces have recognized the usefulness of speech training and have required speech courses in the curriculum of the trainees.
The Missouri Valley Forensic League extends appreciation for the financial support of the member leagues and for their general enthusiasm, and commends thorough reappraisal of the aims and values of speech training in both war and peace-time. The resolution also urges an increased recognition and support by administrative and policy forming bodies of our colleges and universities.
