41ST YEAR
Germans Assert Cos Recaptured Flee Corsica
(International News Service)
Unbroken allied successes in Italy were offset by a German claim that Nazi forces operating in great strength had recaptured the island of Cos, off the shoreline of Turkey.
Cos had been seized by the units of the Royal Air Force on the tide of the allied Mediterranean diversionary move to render more difficult Hitler's attempt to organize all his defenses against a thrust in the Balkans from the east. Germans Execute Corsica
Germans Evacuate Corsica
German propaganda made a great to-do about the Coss claim, which if substantiated, will make the first Axis triumph in many months. Yet the island was believed to have been taken only by a small group of RAF planes and no apparent at-

Union Enlists Army, Navy Aid
Arrangements were made by the Memorial Union operating committee, at a meeting yesterday afternoon, to select representatives from the Army and Navy forces who will be asked to sit in on the meetings of the Union Activities committee, said Henry Werner, adviser to men. These men will be able to give the committee some ideas about the type of program for the year which will appeal to the service men who have purchased activity tickets.
Owing to a contested election last spring, the committee had a re-election of officers. Joanne Johnson was elected president and Eugenia Hepworth was elected vice-president. The office of the secretary was left open.
A sub-committee was appointed to negotiate the purchase of a public-address system for the Union to provide dance music for Union and other organization' parties.
High Schools to Hold Debate Meet Here
High school debaters and their coaches will meet at the University Oct. 22 and 23 for the annual Debate Institute, according to Harold G. Ingham, director of the University extension division. The program will feature lectures, demonstration debates, question-answer periods, forums, and practice debates.
University faculty members will participate in a "town meeting" type of discussion to acquaint students with it. This addition to the Institute program was suggested by E.A. Thomas, Secretary of the Kansas State Activities Association. W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, will serve as chairman of the discussion.
The principal speaker for the Debate Institute has not been decided upon. All plans and arrangements for the Institute are made by the extension division.

Servicemen Relax After Full Week
By Kati Gorrill
The University's servicemen may have to work hard during the week, but they all have the weekend to relax in. The men in the Navy also get Wednesday evenings off.
All ASTP, ASTRP, and Army medical students have liberty from 3:20 Saturday afternoon to 7:30 Sunday night. Unless they have special permission they have to check in at the barracks at 1 a.m. Sunday morning. From 5:30 to 7:30 each evening the soldiers have free time. The evening meal is served during this time.
The men are required to attend supervised study periods from 7:30 to 9:30 each night Monday through Friday. Then they are free until 11 p.m. when they must check in at the barracks. During the day each man has two study periods when he is free to study at his own discretion.
The V-12's, Machinists Mates, and V-5's have liberty Wednesday evenings from 7 to 11. One division of the MM's must always be on guard. Saturday afternoon the V-12's and MM's are free at 1:30 unless they have extra duty. They need not report back in until 1 o'clock Sunday morning. Sunday night 10:30 for the MM's and 11 for the V-12's are closing hours. Each week one division of MM's has weekend leave.
The schedule of the V-5's is too full to allow any extra-curricular activities except sports. The V-12's may be excused for participation in choirs, fraternity meetings, and other scheduled extra-curricular meetings. They have free time from 4:30 to 5:45 each afternoon when they may go off the campus.
The V-5's liberty begins Saturday at 6 in the evening. They must be in by 11 o'clock Sunday night.
Wichita postal officials are looking for Frank Roe to give him his discharge papers from the last war.
Second Convocation Set for Monday
The second all-student convocation will be held at 10 a.m. Monday in Hoch auditorium, when Dr. Oscar Jaszi will speak on "The United Nations and Russia." Formerly a member of the department of political science at Oberlin, Ohio, Dr. Jaszi has been lecturing at the University of Kansas City recently. He is a noted authority on the Russian situation, according to J. H. Nelson, assistant dean of the Graduate School.
Class periods will be cut short, as usual, for the 40 minute convoitation.
Joseph Wilkins Sings To Capacity Crowd At First Recital
A capacity crowd attended the initial faculty recital of the season given by Joseph Wilkins, head of the department of voice, in Fraser theater last night.
By Delores Sulzman
Interest in the recital was manifest from the opening number, Handel's "Sound an Alarm", an aria from the stately oratorio, "Judas Maccabaeus", throughout the program to the closing selection, "Come to the Fair", by Easthope Martin. Miss Lucille Wagner who accompanied Professor Wilkins did a finished piece of work in all the numbers.
Of especial appeal to the audience were the four Brahm's selections, all sung in German. "Ruhe, Sussleibchen" (Rest Thee, My Love), a very lyrical number, was exceptionally well done and was the most inspirational of the group. It was effectively contrasted with the more spirited and lively Brahm's songs which preceded and followed, "Wie Bist du, Meine Konigen", "Der Gang zum Liebchen," and "Botschaft" (The Message).
Studied These Under Hallasch
These four selections represent the German "lieder" which Professor Wilkins studied under Dr. Franz Hallasch, chief coach of the Munich National Opera in 1932-1933.
The group of Russian numbers aroused the enthusiasm of the audience whose applause brought Professor Wilkins back on the stage for several curtain calls. "Invocation to Russia" (Balakireff) and "Longing" (Valssilienko) reached a stirring climax in "On the River Dneiper," written by Russia's impressionistic master, Modest Moussorgsky.
"La Fleure que tu M'avais Jetee,
better known as "The Flower Song"
was presented as the third part of
the program. This is the aria sung
