Former ASTP Writes of His Appreciation Of the University
This makes a total of $4,501.86 in the drive all over the campus, including faculty, employees, service men, and civilian students.
The sunset across the valley, as seen from Lindley hall is a scene we can never forget. As long as any of us shall live, we will always hold a memory of a school on a hill and a beautiful valley surrounding it on all sides. The atmosphere of K.U. is one that cannot be duplicated anywhere.
Four days ago three hundred of us left your campus. It was a sad farewell for most of us, because for the past eight months we have had one of the most pleasant interludes of our lives. We came to you from colleges of many states, and many of us were critical of this University situated in the little-heard-of state of Kansas. As the weeks passed, so did this initial attitude. We came to love your campus, and your hospitality.

Schroeder to Report for Great Lakes Hospital Duty
Editor's note: The Daily Kansan received the following letter from Private Niesen yesterday.
Charles P. Schroeder, pharmacist's mate second class of the University Naval Training Station, has been assigned to report for duty at the Naval Hospitals of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Seaman Schroeder will leave Lawrence for his new assignment today. He has been stationed here since December 2, 1943.
Still fresh in our minds is the scene of our departure - the final
parade through the campus and down the hill to the station, the people waving good-by, shouting good-luck, and telling us to come back soon. It may not be soon, but many ASTP men will some day return to Kansas University. May God speed that day when we will greet you again, and begin studies of our own choosing.
We miss you all and we hope you miss us, too. We know that we were loud and noisy, and in some cases even rude, but we hope you can understand the problems we had, and some of the difficulties we had to meet.
Pvt. Bill Nesen.
Goodbye for now, and please accept our heartfelt thanks for making our stay on your campus such a pleasant and profitable one.
Weather Sets New Low Record
With a record of almost 20 degrees below the normal for corresponding days of the month in years past, the temperature this morning was reported to be only 20 degrees above zero, a rise of five degrees from that of yesterday.
The average temperature for March this year has been nearly five degrees below normal, the average being pulled down by the unusually low mercury readings in the last few days of this month. Although snows are not infrequent on these dates, the flakes usually melt as soon as they reach the ground, and the weather does not continue cold as it has done lately. Several cars were unable to climb the Hill yesterday morning due to the icy streets, which finally became passable when the sun melted the ice later in the day.
Asiatic Front Outlook Brighter
(International News Service)
The outlook on the United Nations latest fighting front in Asia took a turn for the better today with official disclosure that one Japanese invasion column, pressing into the jungles of Eastern Asia from Burma have been cut to pieces and another stopped in its tracks.
Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, commander-in-chief of Allied forces in the Eastern Asiatic theater, supplied the cheering information that 2,500 Japanese have been killed or wounded by British, American and Chinese troops in the Burma operations during recent weeks, and it became increasingly evident that the Japanese push across the border of Manipur state in India was less of an offensive than a counterthrust aimed to offset the allied gains and give encouragement to pro-Japanese elements still infesting the border region.
Coincident with Mountbatten's announcement of this victory, Lt. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, commanding American and Chinese troops in the north, revealed that the main road in the Moggaung valley had been severed by a road block, confronting a second enemy column with encirclement and annihilation.
Meanwhile, Cernauti, third largest city in Rumania, fell to the Red army. Capture of the vital city, entryway by road and rail to the Ploesti oil fields was announced by a special order of the day by Premier Joseph Stalin.
The Cassino battlefront remained inactive, but members of the Mediterranean command carried out a heavy attack on the Bulgarian capital of Sofia.
Vote of Confidence Given By Commons to Churchill
London, (INS)—Prime Minister Winston Churchill confounded his critics today by receiving an overwhelming vote of confidence, 425 to 23, in the house of commons on a minor domestic issue which he had turned into a crucial test of his entire range of policy.
Lindley Remains Under Guidance Of U S Army
Since army medics and A-12's still have to eat, Lindley hall will remain under the supervision of the army for the time being, stated Raymond Nichols, executive secretary. Both of these groups are still being fed over there, although only about eighty men, all A-12's, are being housed in the hall since the ASTP's were moved out, and the medics are stationed in other houses over the campus.
University authorities have received notice that more men in these classifications will be moved to the campus about the first of May, which will be the beginning of a new term under the schedule of classes. Until then, the top floors of the hall, which have been vacant since the ASTP's left last week, will be closed.
Because there are no other facilities on or near the campus for feeding these men or housing the A-12's, it is necessary to keep the hall open for this skeleton force until the end of their 12-week term when the number of men stationed here will be increased again.
Deadline Extended For Queen Entries
The closing date for entries in the Jayhawker beauty queen contest has been extended at the request of several women's houses. Mary Morrill editor of the Jayhawker has announced. Originally scheduled to end today, the period for submitting pictures will be extended until Wednesday. April 5, she said.
The pictures will be judged first by a committee of University men who will select a group of women to attend a tea, given probably in the Kansan room.
From those attending the tea, the same committee will select a smaller group to be photographed by H. E. Hammeril of the Christopher studios in Topeka. These final pictures will be sent to some national figure to be ranked. The top contestants will be featured in the final June 15 issue of the Jayhawker magazine.
"All entry pictures should be submitted with an identification giving the name, address, and telephone number of the contestant," said Miss Morrill. No limit is placed on the number of entries from one organized house.
