WSSF Drive Starts On Campus Monday

This fund is given by students and faculty only to provide
Relating to the drive, Chancellor Daane W. Malott, member of the national advisory board, made the following statement:
aid for former students now in prison camps in other parts of the world. The slogan used for the drive is "Real Giving for a Real Need."
Asks Support
"The World Student Service Fund is asking our support to raise money to aid our fellow-students in the beleaguered citadels of learning throughout the world, and to provide education and recreation in the internment and prison camps in foreign lands.
"With almost worldwide disruption of higher education, it devolves upon us here on Mount Oread, who are still able to pursue our work in this University, to share a little to make life more bearable for others who, were it not for the fortunes of war, would themselves be students on some campus leading the sort of life we are privileged to enjoy.
Continue Leadership
"I hope the University this year can continue the leadership which it has exerted in the past in giving generously to the work of the World Student Service Fund."
R. Brank Fulton, of Yale University, spoke to the membership meeting of YMCA-YWCA at 4:30 this afternoon and to the members of the tag day teams who are working for his drive at dinner following. The

Spencer To Give Commencement Address In May

Malott announced today. Dr. Spencer, for twenty-one years rector of Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral in Kansas City, Mo., is one of the nation's most eminent clergymen.
Dr. Spencer was graduated from the Kansas Theological School in 1904 after having taken undergraduate work at Dickinson College. From 1904 to 1907, he served as pastor of the Church of the Covenant at Junction City, and held a special pastorate at nearby Ft. Riley. He was associated with St. John's church in Springfield Mo., from 1907 to 1909, when he moved to Grace and Holy Trinity in Kansas City. He was chosen Bishop of Western Missouri in 1930, a post he now holds.

Choir Concert Date Changed To Next Week
Because of the sudden calling of the army reserves, Dean D. M. Swarthout has changed the date for the annual concert of the University a cappella choir from its original one in the middle of April to next Monday. Calling of the reservists affects the choir to such an extent that the concert must either be given Monday or not at all, Dean Swarthout said.
Under the direction of Dean Swarthout the choir has been working since September on the group of numbers it will present in Hoch auditorium at 8 o'clock Monday evening. Included among the numbers to be sung will be an "Ode to Music" by Dr. W. Otto Miessner of the School of Fine Arts, who has written both the text and music. In this selection the power of music is shown in its use in the lullaby, wedding chorus, and solemnity of death, closing with a climax eulogizing music as the supreme gift in life to man.
Believes Choir Is Best
In Dean Swarthout's opinion the choir is one of the finest he has led in many years. Although a number of the men singers have already been called to the service, the choir still numbers around 80 voices, having added 15 new men at the opening of the second semester.
Concerning employment for graduates, Mr. Wassi had this to say:
Advertising Must Sell World Post-War Changes
The speaker, who has had over 20 years of advertising experience, stated that advertising "can do tremendous things" and that it is our greatest means of mass communication. He asserted that advertising, partly governmental and partly commercial, had been instrumental in explaining the war effort and rationing systems to the American public and in getting the country's wholehearted cooperation.
Another task for advertis. Wasser, is that of protecting and preserving free enterprise as a basic economic principle in the United States.
"Advertising will have its biggest job in the future—selling to the whole world new things coming out of the war," B. G. Wasser, vice-president of the Potts-Turnbull advertising agency of Kansas City, Mo., told journalism and business students yesterday in two addresses.
"Our economics will never be what they were before, but advertising must hold changes to a minimum," he said.
Must Keep Changes Down
Another task for advertising to perform, according to Mr.
"Employment chances, especially for women, are the best they have been for the past 10 years." To those of his audience who intend to follow careers in advertising and allied fields, the speaker related that typists and stenographers have good chances to advance in an agency.
"If you have ideas, sooner or later someone's going to listen to you," he promised.
Advises Beginners
Asserting that a commercial concern was a better place to begin in advertising than an agency, the speaker advised young persons to get their initial selling experience outside the agency.
Members of the faculty of the department of journalism and Mr. Wasser dined last night at the Colonial Tea room.
Army Reservists Leave For Duty
With the call of three more enlisted reserve men to active duty, a total of 161 men have withdrawn from the University for service since the beginning of the semester, according to a release from Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, registrar and co-ordinator of military information.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, basketball coach, today criticized the University Athletic board for its "wishy washy" policy over the basketball eligibility of Jayhawk star, Charle Black.
Recent dispatches from the Seventh Service Command at
According to Allen, Black had received permission of Ralph I. Canuteson, University health director, and his family physician, Dr. L. K Zimmer to participate in the game.
Allen Criticizes 'Wishy-Washy' Board Policy
"I planned to play Black for five minutes in the first half," Allen said. "Then I had arranged for him to receive a medical checkup to determine whether he should continue to play in the second half."
Trouble arose, however, when Allen and Laurence Woodruff, University Coordinator of Military Affairs, checked with Black's commanding officer, Colonel Raymond W. Briggs, at Omaha. Black is at present a member of the army air corps, being here on a temporary deferment because of a recent illness. Briggs refused to give Black permission to compete, Allen said.
Board Passes Resolution
"We were thinking of the boy," Karl Klooz, board secretary, stated yesterday. "After all he will have to face his commanding officer soon, and we thought it unfair to send the boy into the services under such a handicap."
"I do not believe that Briggs had the authority to tell the boy he could not play in a game which is recognized by the services as the best of conditioning sports," Allen declared.
According to one athletic board member, the board, having heard that Allen planned to use Black irregardless of Briggs' instructions, passed a resolution at a dinner meeting held Tuesday before the game instructing Allen not to use Black without his commanding officer's permission.

Pan-American Group Receives Charter
The national charter of the Pan American league was presented to the University chapter by Antonin Lulli, local chapter president, at meeting of the league last night in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building. Duane Smith, vice-president, accepted the charter for the University chapter.
In presenting the charter, Lulli said, "Tonight we are gathered here to witness a significant event—the University of Kansas has joined 300 other schools spread throughout North and South America in the movement of organized Pan-Americanism. Now, specifically, the student league of this University has been admitted into the membership of the National Student Pan-American league and you delegates have become the founder members of this league in this state. Wherever you travel, whether North or South America, I can assure you that you will find student leagues, where a hearty welcome will await."
Later the charter will be placed in one of the University buildings for display.
