Vespers To Be This Sunday
The final all-musical vespers of the year, which includes the a cappella choir, the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs, the University band, the symphony orchestra and the University string quartet, is scheduled for 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium, Dean D. M. Swarthout said today.
Do spite the drain on manpower, the organizations are still intact and have adjusted themselves to the losses for the present at least, he added.
Under Karl Kuersteiner's direction the symphony orchestra, with an enrollment still around 70, will open the program with the last movement of Howard Hanson's "Romantic Symphony". Dr. Hanson is now head of the Eastman School of
Music, and a few years ago conducted the University symphony orchestra in a program of his own works while he was visiting here. String Quartet To Play
Although it has lost nearly half of its original enrollment the Men's Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. Joseph Wilkins, will be heard in three numbers which include the hunting song, "John Peel" and "This Is My Country."
The University string quartet, which has lost both Raymond Stuhl and John Ehrlich, cellists, to the military forces, will appear Sunday with Dean Swarthout taking over the cello part. Before Mr. Stuhl came to the University School of Fine Arts, Dean Swarthout was the regular cellist in the quartet. The quartet's two numbers will be "Dusk" and "Rustic Dance" (Ernest Bloch).
The only group not to have felt the loss in personnel. The Women's
Glee Club, will be heard in the dramatic religious number "Christ Went up into the Hills" (Hageman), a tribute to Spring by Kernochan, and one other number not yet announced.
University Band To Close Program
The University a cappella choir, which still has 75 out of its original 87 members, will repeat a request number, "Jesus and the Traders," which it sang at its concert three weeks ago. Dorothy Mae Nelson and David T. Lawson will take the soprano and baritone solos in the 17th century passion chorale, "O Darkest Woe," and Arlene Nickels will sing the soprano solo of "The Star" (J. H. Rogers) with an organ accompaniment by Prof. L. E. Anderson of the School] of Fine Arts.
Making its first appearance since the addition of the women's band, the University band will close the program with "Czech Rhapsody" (Weinberger).
Hendrickson Explains Beef Shortage Cause
Washington, (INS)—Even if Lend-Lease and the armed forces took no American beef, there would still be a beef shortage, food distribution administrator Roy F. Hendrickson said yesterday.
At the same time, Hendrickson admitted in an exclusive interview that milk rationing "may be ultimately necessary."
If milk rationing is instituted, he said, the individual milk quota could not be automatically set for the whole country. Instead, milk rationing would have to be established in each milk-shed with the milk allotment for each consumer determined by conditions in the shed. Thus, New York might have a different ration than Boston or Chicago.
This is true. Hendrickson said, because fluid milk, a perishable commodity, cannot be divided up equally among the nation's consumers, as are canned goods, coffee and other rationed products.
The beef shortage, Hendrickson asserted, is not due to a drop in cattle production or slaughtering or to government purchases but to the abnormal food demand. Therefore, if government meat buying were to be stopped, there still would be a "beef situation."
As national incomes goes up, he said, the demand for food goes up and the national income will continue to rise.
Price ceilings hold down the cost of food stuffs, said the man charged by food administrator Wickard with the task of properly distributing America's food. Further, dwindling civilian supplies of other commodities cause the people to buy more food.
"You cannot blame the American people for wanting more food," he said.
"The present situation is the greatest proof we have ever had that the trouble with our farm economy has never been over-production, but under-consumption."
CVC Major Calls Special Meeting
A meeting of CVC sergeants and lieutenants at 7 o'clock this evening in the Pine room of the Union building has been called by Jean Hoffman, major.
17 Men Volunteer From V-7 Reserve
Seventeen members of the Naval Reserve had volunteered by noon today for midshipman's training, which will begin April 29, according to Laurence Woodruff, registrar.
Approximately 45 members of the Reserve are eligible for voluntary enlistments; but Laurence Woodruff, co-ordinator of military information, believes that only 20 will be able to arrange their affairs so that they can leave for active duty April 29.
One of the requirements is that students must remain in school until April 13 at which time they will receive full credit for this semester and will also receive their degrees.
Jayhawk Nursery Committee Will Sponsor Movie
The Jayhawk Nursery committee is sponsoring the sale of tickets to the film, "Journey For Margaret," based on the book by W. L. White, to raise funds to maintain the Jayhawk Nursery in England.

They are also on sale at all offices in the Administration building, and in Robinson gymnasium. The price of the tickets is 35 cents, plus 5 cents to be paid at the box office.
So far, $2,400 has been raised for the nursery fund. An additional $1,100 is needed to reach the goal of $3,500 which is required to support the nursery.

New Allied Offensive Begun Today
The first step in a long awaited Allied offensive which is expected to hurl Marshall Rommel's Nazi army out of Tunisia was taken today.
In the meantime, London officials were silent on all rumors of intensified Allied preparations for a North African offensive.
While four British tank and infantry divisions were being used last night by General Sir Bernard L. Montgomery in an assault on the Mareth line in South Tunisia, Allied headquarters in North Africa had made no mention of any major thrust against Rommel's forces, and the Allies were reported to be silent on any plan of action.
Berlin radio broadcasts last night declared that the 5th British division was being held in reserve and that other British forces were being reinforced for possible assaults on the German flanks.
Capt. Ludwig Sertorius, Berlin radio commentator, said that strong concentrations of American troops had been observed during the last few days near the pass positions of Axis troops in Central Tunisia.
American field troops reported a canopy of planes today swept into the key town of Gafsa in the central part of the oasis of Elguettar in the early stages of a campaign to carry them to Gabes on the eastern coast. Gafsa is the Axis flank base north-west of the Mareth line.
'Spring' Is Tepic of Brainbusters
The "Brain-Busters" program tonight will have as its topic "Spring," which starts Sunday. Prof. John W. Ashton, of the English department, will be master of ceremonies, and the panel includes: Fletcher McCord of the psychology department, Fred S. Montgomery, university director of the Naval Training station, Prof. John Virtue of the English department, and Prof. Joseph F. Wilkins of the voice department.
