national News Service)
The stage was set today for a Nazi rout in Russia. Key German defense positions in the South and Central sectors of the flaming battle front crumpled under terrific Soviet attacks and all signs pointed to the probability that Marshal Joseph Stalin soon may order a new offensive from the Leningrad area, aimed at the Baltic states.
With new gains reported from the American 5th and the British 8th armies on the road to Rome, late dispatches indicated an enor-

Eisenhower On Campus? No, Just Bud
Lloyd E. "Bud" Eisenhower, freshman from Junction City, last saw his uncle, Dwight Eisenhower, in August two years ago. At the time he was only a lieutenant-colonel, and Bud didn't pay much attention to him.
The last time Bud heard directly from his uncle was in answer to Bud's letter thanking the general for helping him receive an appointment to West Point. The general wrote back, wishing him luck, and counseling him to concentrate especially on English and mathematics, since those subjects usually prove hardest for West Point cadets.
Bud began his plebe year at West Point last July, but in two months he became ill and had to leave school. He will return to West Point next July and start again. Meanwhile he plans to take pre-law courses at K.U. because he intends to become a lawyer when the war is over. He is enrolled in a freshman English course now. Asked to write a sketch on some member of his family, he couldn't decide whether to write about his uncle Dwight, the general, or his uncle Milton, new president of Kansas State College.
At West Point with Bud were sons of Generals Eisenhower, Clack, Patton, and Doolittle. He is looking forward to returning to the Point, but meanwhile he is enjoying his stay at the University. He particularly likes not having to "brace," assuming the erect posture required of West Point cadets at all times.

A rally will be held at 6:50 tonight at the Santa Fe station to see the Jayhawks off to play Nebraska, according to an announcement made today by Reed Whetstone, Kuku president.
Faculty Shares Cut In Insurance Surplus
Adding to a dividend of 44.4 per cent, a refund of 15.6 per cent of the accumulated surplus, the Teachers and Employees Association of the University yesterday "cut a melon" to the extent of 60 per cent of this year's insurance premium. Members will need pay only 40 per cent of their premium this year.
A recommendation to continue dividing the surplus during the next five years to reduce premiums was made at this meeting. Karl Klooz, bursar, and F. P. OBrien, professor of education, were elected members of the board of directors.
Jayhawker Squad of Twenty-eight Will Leave for Lincoln Tonight; Cornhuskers Favored to Win
A caravan of 28 Jayhawks will leave by train at 6:50 this evening for the land of the Cornhuskers.
A total of $1432.25 in contributions shot past the goal for the World Student Service Fund drive this noon, Eloise Penner chairman of the student drive, announced.
"The contributions made by the Army men, machinist's mates, and a few other organized houses have not been turned in to me yet," stated Miss Penner. "We are going to make a splendid showing on the campus."
Peppy as they are, the Jayhawks are hardly at full strength and by game time tomorrow the Huskers will probably take over as favorites. Game time is 2.30 in this second Big Six game for both teams. It will be Kansas 28th attempt to win a game from the Nebraskans and the 14th try at Lincoln. After all these years of failure and bad luck, everyone, including the parlay man who gives Kansas a six point advantage, believes

Bush Will Not Make Trip
Lynn Williams, halfback, who scored the touchdown against Iowa State, Dick Dreher, guard, and Bull Mowery, blocking back, have been restricted by their commanding officer because of an incident when coming home from the Denver paint. These three men are first line regulars and will be greatly missed.
Dale Bush, whose return in uniform this week wroused a cheery note in the Jayhawk camp, will not even make the trip since his shoulder has not healed sufficiently for him to play
Eddie Gibbons suffered a slight attack of appendicitis in last night's practice and will also be left home.

London
Britain--U. S Alliance Bad
(International News Service)
(International News Service)
The Anglo-American Alliance will result in Isolationism, Alf Landore said today when speaking at the Debate Institute at the University.
"Such a meeting as this helps clarify our thinking. That to me is the most important job confronting us."
"We are confused by the very multiplicity of plans for erecting the structure for world peace we all so devoutly desire . . .
"Those who favor some form of international organization to maintain world peace have not any leadership in the White House. The only foreign policy the administration has approved, and that by indirection, is the old discredited theory of balance of power alliance.
"Alliances tend to separate the nations of the world rather than to pull them together. Especially is that true of the proposed exclusive alliance . . .
"I submit that the proposed British-American alliance is joint isolationism. World cooperation and collaboration should mean all nations. There is no more world cooperation in an Anglo-American alliance, which would inevitably put the rest of the nations against us, than there is partnership of rich against the poor."
