Mr. Hindus used many illustrations of the Russian heroism, their courage, and their patriotism. He
Describing as accurately as possible the Russia of today, Maurice Hindus, Russian war correspondent, held the attention of about a thousand students and faculty members in convocation yesterday morning. Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced his speech as the simple story of "What I Saw in Russia."

Mr. Hindus was in Russia, hi uary of this year and for the eight months previous. He left for New York shortly after a luncheon held in his honor by Raymond Nichols, executive secretary.
"Russia is going Russian on a large scale," he said, in regard to patriotism and nationalism. She seems to have forgotten her international feelings for the present, he explained. "Russia realizes that they are fighting not an ordinary war, not only for conquest, but for extermination and appropriation as well," he continued.
Davis Elected ASC President At Installation
mentioned that women are operating at least four-fifths of the farms in Russia, and there are no men between 18 and 50 except cripples in the villages.
"Although Russia is opposed to America in government, economics, and politics," Mr. Hindus asked the audience to remember that "despite differences, 2,000,000 German soldiers killed by Russians will never point a gun at an American. The biggest job of both nations is to win the war."
He warned Americans that if they become sentimental at the close of this war, they will have the hard-headed Russians to face, and they will not succumb to sentimentality.

The total number of awards, given for recognition of special work in a certain field of study, including ROTC commissions, graduate degrees, and Flying Jayhawkers, last year was 1,094. This year's total of special awards is not yet determined.
