Correspondent Speaks Today For War Fund
Miss Gwen Dew, foreign correspondent, who was imprisoned in a Japanese concentration camp for six months, will speak at 4:30 p.m. today in Fraser hall. Her talk will be presented in connection with the national drive for the United War Fund which opens next week.
Miss Dew was sent to the Oriem by the Detroit News as a photographer - reporter. She was captured by the Japs in the battle of Hong Kong and intersted in Camp Stanley before being released to return to the United States on the Gripsholm.
Miss Dew wrote the book, "Prisoner of the Japs," which gives an eyewitness account of the siege of Hong Kong and depicts the horrors of Japanese treatment of the Allied peoples in China.
Miss Dew was a guest this noon at a University luncheon arranged by Chancellor Deane W. Malott, and she attended an informal discussion with journalism students at 2:30 this afternoon.

Bv PAT PENNEY
Since I have lived in both "de land o' cotton" and magnolias and the state of wheat and sunflowers, it was suggested to me that my comparison of the University of Kansas with the University of Mississippi might prove of interest to the readers of the Kansan.
For four years I attended the University High School, located on the campus of the University of Mississippi in Oxford. Both Camposs Beautiful
"Ole Miss," which is only about a third as large as K. U., was founded in 1848, and classes were discontinued during the Civil war. Three ante-bellum buildings—the Administration building, the YM and YWCA building, and a private home—are still in use. Although the campus is comparatively flat, it is similar to Mount Oread in its natural beauty.
Both Campuses Beautiful
Living up to true southern hospitality, the slogan at Ole Miss is "Everybody Speaks." It is quite amusing to see the amazement on the faces of the service men sent to Ole Miss for army training, when they are accosted with a "Hey! How y'all!" from each pretty co-ed they meet.
The settlers through this section of the Middle West were largely of New England stock, while the majority of Mississippiians have ancestors who were the original colonists of Virginia and South Carolina. Consequently, there is a difference in the temperament of the people of these two sections.

President Algo D. Henderson
Mr. Algo Henderson, president of Antioch college, will be a guest of the Chancellor, Deane W. Malott tonight for dinner, and at 8 p.m. in the Union building will show some recent pictures of Antioch college, to some friends of the Chancellor, Mr. Henderson, a graduate of the University, will return to Antioch tonight.
Censors Permit Weather News
Declaring that imposed restrictions on farming, shipping, and other necessary activities depend upon weather information have made relaxed restrictions on weather forecasts necessary. Byron Price, director of the Office of Censorship, has announced that newspapers and radio stations may now publish and broadcast official weather bureau forecasts, an Associated Press dispatch said this morning. Improved defense and other war conditions justify the changes, the Office of Censorship held.
Under the new regulation, newspapers won't be limited to the 150 mile radius of the cities in which they are published nor by the number of reports they carry. Previously newspapers could print only forecasts for the states in which they were published and for not more than four adjoining states.
Beginning this morning, radio stations were permitted to broadcast weather conditions. The regulation doesn't pertain, however, to the mention of wind directions and barometric pressures, except as authorized under an emergency warning by the weather bureau.
Living up to his reputation as an outstanding concert pianist, Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano, presented a program of piano selections to a large audience in Fraser theater last night. The enthusiasm of the artist was conveyed to the audience throughout the program. Mr. Chiapusso possesses a touch, speed, facility, and ease of performance that is not only pleasing but invigorating to hear.

News Bulletins
Washington, (INS)—The nation 1943 food supply will be about seven per cent below last year's level, it was disclosed today, with less milk, peaches, pears, apples, wheat, corn( and oats available to the consumer.
According to the department of agriculture monthly crop report, however, there will be more eggs white and sweet potatoes, beans, rice, chickens, and oranges this year.
London (INS)—Professor Pieter Zeeman, 78, Nobel prize winner in physics and discoverer of "Zeeman effect" died in Amsterdam on Saturday, the German radio reported today.
Pittsburgh, Pa., (INS—General services were planned today for Samuel Harden Church, 85-year-old president of Carnegie Institute and chairman of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Church gained national attention in May, 1940, when he represented a group of Pittsburgh residents in offering a reward in one million dollars in cash for the person or persons who delivered Adolph Hitler alive to the League of Nations.
- London (INS)—The cause of democracy won enormous triumphs today when Portugal gave to Great Britain and the United States shipping facilities in the Azores to aid in the menace of U-boat warfare.
Announcement of Portugal's contribution was made in the House of Commons by Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Portugal, however, will retain her present carefully guarded status of neutrality.
A quota of $3,500 has been suggested for the WSSF drive which will begin Oct. 18, Lois Crozier, traveling secretary for the organization, told her audience yesterday afternoon.
The agreement, Churchill said, was in conformity with an anglo-portuguese treaty dating back to 1373, when a Portuguese king fought a successful war with the aid of England.
On the war front, meanwhile,guess continued for Allied armies.
Heavy artillery exchanges marked the fighting on the Volturno river line in Central Italy where Allied advances were slowed down by heavy rain. American and British bombers still managed to take to the air, however, to bomb and strafe enemy lines.
Moscow announced officially that German troops still in occupation of Gomel, one of the chief Nazi states in White Russia, had begun to see fire to the town.
On other sectors of the 1400 mile front, Soviet troops scored moderate gains, established new bridgeheads across the Dnieper, and moved into position for another full scale offensive which may throw the Germans back into their last ditch defense line in Poland.
Allied headquarters in the Southwest Pacific announced American airmen are maintaining pressure on Jap positions throughout the outer island defense perimeter north of Australia and had heavily raided enemy installations at Macassar in the Dutch East Indies.
Crozier Suggests $3,500 Quota For WSSF Drive
"President Roosevelt has asked that there be a unified relief drive, and the WSSF is a part of that drive," Miss Crozier stated. "The money from the WSSF will help students of all nationalities the world over, and it will be counted in the local county and community drive."
To emphasize the vital need to raise the $125,000,000, which is the goal of the National War Fund drive, Miss Crozier cited examples of the types of work which is being done with the money now on hand.
“Can you imagine yourself behind barbed wire without a single letter, package, or any word from those you love?” she asked. “These war prisoners tell our representatives who have been able to get in to see some of them how much it means to see someone in civilian clothes, or tq”
