THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Allied Victory Is Hope for New Year
Tomorrow a new year starts, and 1944 will be heralded not only with the usual memories and resolutions, but also with a hope for a final victory and the end of the war.
Memories of the past year will come to mind. The battles of the war stack up on the side of the Allies, and our victory seems more assured. More men are in uniform, and production of weapons and war materials has skyrocketed.
This year, especially in colleges, the atmosphere has changed. The memory of a different college life—one with perhaps recreation but more meaning—will persist. For the coming year, those students in uniform hope for more action, hope for a greater part in the army and navy.
Men overseas will celebrate the new year in some way, American custom not being forgotten. They hope, too, for a victorious year, and above all a chance to celebrate the next year here in the United States.
Everyone in his own particular world is looking forward to an eventful 1944. Each has his own individual hopes, but all hopes hang on an Allied victory soon.
President Ill With Grippe
President in Washington,, —(INS)— President Roosevelt was ordered to bed today by his physician as the result of a slight attack of gripe. The President's cold of the last two days had turned over night into an attack of gripe, and Mr. Roosevelt was running a slight temperature, it was announced.
MILITARY CHANGES--already lettered three years at another institution, will be eligible for Big Six sports in wartime only if they are military trainees assigned to a school for training. By this decision the conference made it plain that neither Bob Brumley, Sooner fullback, and Navy V-12 instructor, nor Bull Reece and Jack Morton, Missouri civilians playing their fourth varsity seasons, would be eligible for future wartime competition. Kansas questioned the eligibility of all these players during the 1943 season.
Vote of ASC Constitution
(continued from page one) serious fire on the campus since Fowler shops burned during the first World War on May 9, 1910. Invaluable charts, plastic models, and slides were irreplaceably lost. Dr. H. C. Tracy, professor of anatomy, lost nearly all of his personal library.
In order to synchronize the regular University course with the military training programs, the administration set up a three-semester plan which began Nov. 1. This necessitated a five-week session which started Sept. 28 and continued until the real semester started. Kansas Beats Missouri
Henry Shenk's valiant band of Jayhawks upset M.U.'s mighty tigers 7 to 6, in one of the most thrilling battles in the 52-year old series of K.U.-M.U. homecoming meets on Nov. 20.
Students, machinists' mates, and Navy air cadet trainees turned out in force on June 18 and 19 to struggle with the flooding Kaw river, on its biggest rampage in over 20 years.
Several attempts were made during the year to adopt satisfactory closing hours for women students. During the summer session the All-Student Council stated 10:30 o'clock hours for Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday; 11 o'clock for Wednesday and Sunday; and 1 o'clock for Friday and Saturday. Beginning with the fall session Friday and Saturday hours were changed to 12:30 and 12:45, respectively.

Betty Liebrand, Delta Gamma, does not profess to a dual personality—but those who know her evidently feel she has something along that line. Betty's father gave her a musical powder box and a .22 riff for Christmas. She says she employed the latter on a deer hunting expedition in Colorado over the holidays — but succeeded in doing nothing but missing a woodpecker.
Tired of ti all: If and when Tom Bemis, All Student Council member and YMCA cabinet member, returns to the Hill, his first few weeks will be well taken up with disciplinary appointments. About a month and a half ago, Tom disappeared and the Delts and the Bemis's were in a great quandary as to his whereabouts. Next week a telegram arrived: "Changed my mind about things. See you fellows in Europe after the war." And then silence.
Since missing class is a boardable offense, some enterprising active figures Tom has 40,000 blows coming.
A-12 and ASTP men on August 9 because no other barracks were available.
Shortly before the organization of the All Student Council, the MSC and WSGA convened to guarantee the right of the Negro to attend the Junior Prom. The action came as a result of petitions circulated on the campus charging discrimination against Negro students.
SIDELINES---already lettered three years at another institution, will be eligible for Big Six sports in wartime only if they are military trainees assigned to a school for training. By this decision the conference made it plain that neither Bob Brumley, Sooner fullback, and Navy V-12 instructor, nor Bull Reece and Jack Morton, Missouri civilians playing their fourth varsity seasons, would be eligible for future wartime competition. Kansas questioned the eligibility of all these players during the 1943 season.
The new Military Science building had a gala opening in spite of bad weather on the night of Dec. 10.
(continued from page four) the liberal readjustment of the conference athletic elegibility standards, whereby navy trainees will not have any wartime competition after March 1 counted against them after the war.
Dale Arbuckle, Oklahoma U. athletic director, explains that the above means trainees playing their first varsity football this past season will have three more years of varsity football after the war ends, regardless of their participation this past season, or even in the coming 1944 season if the war is still on them.
Big Six conference dads voted to give all freshmen who enrolled on or after last March 1, four full years of varsity competition, as well as all future freshmen enrolled at a Big Six school. This applies to civilians as well as military trainees.

Jay Colter, Debt, returned from Christmas vacation with a streak of light brown in his heretofore coal-black head of hair. Jay offers a number of explanations, the best of which are (1) he washed it and just came out that way (2) the shock of finding out there is no Santa Claus did it.

If there are a dozen red roses decorating the Sigma Chi house Friday night, they will have been sent by residents of Corbin. The girls spent the entire week worrying about how they were going to indulge in the pleasant traditions of midnight, New Year's Eve and still comply with strict Corbin enforcement of Friday night closing hours. Then the Kansan came out with the welcome news that bed time for Hill women had been extended until 12:30. Army men of the Sigma Chi house are responsible. They saw fit to plan a party on Dec. 30 and announced that despite of hell and high water it would not break up until 12:15.
Former Professor Dies in New York
Frederick Hill Wood, 66, former associate professor of law at the University and attorney who argued successfully the case involving the constitutionality of the National Recovery Act, died suddenly Tuesday. His death occurred in New York where, at the time of his death, he was practicing law with the firm of Cravath, DeGersdoff, Swaine, and Wood.
Wood received his bachelor of arts degree at the University in 1897 and his law degree here in 1899 when he was admitted to the bar in Kansas. After his graduation he was associate professor in the School of Law for two years before going to Kansas City, Mo., where he practiced for many years.
