K.U. Students Lose Manners at Games
To the new student, receiving his first impression of K.U. spirit, the rudeness exhibited by older students at the University basketball games is a shock. The readiness of the spectators to boo the visiting team, while ignoring similar offenses by their own players, strikes a stranger immediately.
Probably not more than one out of 10 spectators actually sees what takes place when a foul is called, but invariably the referee is booed if the home team is penalized and cheered if he calls a foul on the visitors. Referees are trained to catch technicalities which the average layman does not notice, and they are on the spot when the action happens; consequently, their judgment is more likely to be sound than that of the emotionally-aroused audience.
Apparently the good manners, which students were taught in smaller schools, are forgotten or ignored in the excitement of being part of a really big game, and the impulse to "follow the crowd" is obeyed. Although the rudiments of common courtesy call for politeness to be shown the opposing team, time after time K.U. fans will cheer when an opponent has a foul called on him or makes some other error. An opponent hardly has a chance to score from the free throw line with whistles and bores distracting his attention from the shot, but a dead silence falls over the auditorium when a Jayhawk aims for the basket.
University students, from all appearance, can not appreciate talent in any one but themselves. When a member of the opposite team is withdrawn from the game, he is almost never applauded no matter how good a performance he turned in. Neither do any difficult shots successfully made by the adversary usually call forth favorable comment from K.U. students.
This so-called "school loyalty" is not the type that should be developed among young people. Even though the team occasionally does come out on the small end of the score, no excuses or alibi should be offered, or will be needed, for that matter, if the fans are really behind the team. In sports, the emphasis should be on the benefit and enjoyment derived by both the participants and the spectators. The essential purpose is not to make money or gain fame for the University, thereby going "all out for the kill." It should be remembered that "win, lose, or draw, the game's the thing." -J.F.
U. S. Navy Challenges Jap Fleet to Fight
(International News Service)
The boldest challenge yet issued to the Japanese fleet to venture out of its island hideaway and fight for supremacy in the Pacific was hurled by the United States Navy yesterday. In the course of widespread operations still essentially closed in secrecy, powerful American fleet units went into the Marshall islands to strike this vital outpost of the Japanese homeland. Admiral Sir Chester Nimitz announced the Navy is carrying out the second consecutive day bombardment of the enemy bases in the Marshalls.
Meanwhile the Navy announced destruction of 14 more Japanese ships by U. S. subs in Pacific and Far Eastern waters.
The bag included two large transports, one medium transport, one medium cargo transport, and seven medium freighters.
These Japanese losses raised the American submarine score to date to 422 enemy vessels sunk, 36 probably sunk, and 114 damaged.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
The box at least said 99.44 per cent pure: Larry Miller, Beta and varsity debater of growing fame, stood in the Pi Phi side yard at 2 a.m. boldly expounding on the right of free . . . Before his subject became clearly defined, the orator was interrupted by an inquisitive passer-by. Upon being questioned, Miller maintained that he was practicing a debate speech and pretending there was an audience in the blackened house. When it was suggested that he might use his own house, he replied that he preferred speaking to women (they were more responsive) and went dramatically on with the soliloquy.

Homebreaker: After attending Justine Peterson's wedding, Idabelle Bradley returned home to Watkins hall with a carefully hoarded piece of the wedding cake. Respecting the old traditions that if slept upon wedding cake causes dreams to be about one's future husband, Idabelle tucked it under her pillow and retired. The next morning she sheepishly confessed having dreamed all

Take care of that cold: Two dead mice, one tagged "With love to Lew" and the other "A little tingle for Mr. Pringle" were in the mail box the other day when the Battenfeld boys went up to meet the postman. Lew Purinton and Bill Pringle probably didn't know until now that the oiferous gifts were from Evelyn Hodgson, Watkins hall. The mice died from an overdose of flu germs in her bacteriology experiment.
A visitor of the journalism department and journalism classes many times over the years, William Allen White, former University student and noted Kansas editor who died Saturday, was described by L. N. Flint, professor of journalism, as being a "delight" and "inspiration."

Girls have been wearing fraternity pins in out-of-the-way places since the University began, but the first case of an enamored male subly hiding such a token of secret alliance goes on the records only this week in the advanced year of 1944. The pioneer is Howard Ryan, Phi Delt. When Howlett lets his hair down around PT8, the V-12s say they get a glimpse of a Chi O identification pin on the T shirt beneath his jumper.

The department mourns the death of this noted Kansas writer, an "artist with words," and realizes the significance of his work on Kansas lives.
Others who were acquainted with Mr. White and especially those who knew him while he was on the campus could not be reached today. Most of his teachers have preceded him in death.
One exceptional experience Mt. White had as a student here was his trip with other students in the class of Dr. F.H. Snow, professor of physical science, to Estes Park, Colo., in the summer of 1889. Dr. Snow did not know it, but he had brought to-
"His graphic stories always had significance," Prof. Flint said. "Many graduates in journalism are today treasuring the meaning of the clever answers he gave to questions they asked," he said.
After the conferring of degrees upon the medical students and graduating nurses, Dr. Spake presented the diplomas. Upon their graduation the army students received their commissions as first lieutenants in

"There were in this group Vernon Kellogg, later director of the American Commission for Relief in Belgium in 1915-16; Henry E. Riggs, civil engineer and professor of civil engineering at the University of Michigan; Frank Craig, banker and at one time president of the Oklahoma Bankers association; Herbert S. Hadley, governor of Missouri and chancellor of Washington University; William S. Franklin, physicist and author, professor of physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Edward C. Franklin, professor of chemistry at Leland Stanford University and president of the American Chemical society; Frederick Funston, adventurer and soldier of fortune, hero of the Philippine war and major general in the United States army—and William Allen White.

Navy medical graduates were administered the oath of office by Lt. R. W. Stocks before being presented to Lt. A. H. Buhl of the Naval Training School for commissioning as acting assistant surgeons with the rank of lieutenant (jg) in the United States navy.
"That vacation put a permanent impress on him. He went back to Estes Park with his bride on his honeymoon, and every summer that he could do so for the rest of his life on his vacations."

Under the direction of Professor Russell L. Wiley, the University string orchestra provided music for the processional and the accompaniment for the audience in singing the national anthem, led by Professor Joseph F. Wilkins. The invocation was given by the Rev. Mr. Theodore H. Aszman of the First Presbyterian church, and the benediction was given by the Rev. Mr. Edwin F. Price, dean of the School of Religion. Doris Sheppard played Wieniaski's "Romance" from "Concerto in D Minor" as a violin solo.

Pelouze of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Dr John Philip Berger of the University of Michigan School of Medicine, these clinics will be held in Kansas City, Parsons, Wichita, Dodge City, Topela, Hutchinson, Beloit, and Salina.
The first clinic began in Kansas City yesterday.
McNutt Supports Drive For National Service Law
Washington, (INS) — War manpower chief Paul V. McNutt today supported the administration's drive for national service legislation indicating that factors known to the military high command transcend purely manpower requirements and make such a course necessary. At a news conference, McNutt vigorously defended the voluntary program operated by his agency for the past two years and implied the nation could meet its 1944 manpower requirements without a compulsory labor draft. He did not disagree with the armed forces on the need for such legislation, however.
