Wasser Here To Discuss Advertising
Advertising and its place in the scheme of this country's economic structure will be discussed tomorrow by B. G. Wasser, vice-president of the Potts-Turnbull advertising agency of Kansas City, Mo., who will speak in room 306 Fraser at 2:30 p.m. and in 107 Journalism at 3:30 p.m.
"Students who are considering advertising as a career, or who can use an understanding of advertising in whatever career they choose, should be thinking about the broader, all-encompassing position and power of advertising," stated Mr. Wasser in a letter to Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, giving features of his intended addresses.
Graduate of Washburn
Advertising agency procedure will be explained and part of each period will be devoted to questions and answers, Mr. Wasser wrote.
A graduate in journalism of Washburn University of Topeka, Mr. Wasser has been with Potts-Turnbull for the past six years. Prior to that he was advertising manager of a mail order insurance company for four years, in an advertising agency in Chicago for nine years, and for two years worked in the publicity department of the Portland-Cement association.
While attending Washburn he was editor of the "Review," college yearbook, and correspondent for the Topeka Daily Capital.
Classes Hear Speaker
A class in marketing under John F. Sheaks, instructor of secretarial training, and the Elements of Advertising class of L. N. Flint, professor of journalism, will hear Mr. Wasser at 2:30 p.m. and the History and Art of Printing class will hear him at 3:30.
An informal, "Dutch" dinner at 6:30 p.m. at the Colonial Tea room has been planned by Professor Beth for Mr. Wasser, members of the faculies of the department of journalism and School of Business, and journalism students who would like to attend.

US Navy Sinks Two Submarines Knox Reports
Washington, (INS)—Secretary of Navy Frank Knox reported today that one German and one Japanese submarine had been sunk by American forces in daring sea encounters which helped to offset the loss of 850 U.S citizens in the torpedoing of two American ships in the North Atlantic.
The secretary, in disclosing one of the most interesting stories of antisubmarine warfare since Pearl Harbor, departed from usual custom to say that the German U-boat was destroyed in a running battle with an American destroyer flagship somewhere in the Atlantic. The Jap submersible was sent to the bottom by the deck guns of a crippled American merchantman in the Pacific.
The top Navy executive tempered his report with caution against overoptimism. He expressed the belief that the Germans still were building submarines "much faster than we are sinking them."
Knox insisted that the submarine situation "is very grave."
Later the Navy issued a communique reporting that American planes in the North Pacific blasted Japanese positions at Kiska in the Aleutians while aircraft from Guadalecanal continued their aerial offensive against enemy bases in the central Solomons with attacks on Kolombangara island and Munda.
Second Front Clamor Rises From Battle
The familiar clamor for the immediate opening of a second front in Europe was raised again today at the moment when American and British armies were locked in a death struggle in the battle of Tunisia.
Premier Joseph Stalin's order today to his troops on the 25th anniversary of the Red Army said that Soviet Russia would bear up until they have touched off the demand.
A heavy battle still rages in an area four miles east of Thalu, key to the Allied defenses, but there has been no further enemy advance.
On the Russian front Soviet troops inspired by Stalin's dramatic order of the day pressed forward greatly menacing Orel and taking an undiminished toll in Nazi casualties to all to the nine million the Soviets said already have been eliminated from the conflict.
CVC Changes Meeting
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's bombers gave the Japanese no rest in the New Guinea area and for the sixth successive day raided the northern column.
Home Economist Plans Study of KU Department
A communique from the Allied high command in Algiers said that the German attack had now beer brought to a halt in all areas. Heavy casualties have been dealt to the enemy; many of his tanks destroyed.
The meeting of CVC lieutenants and sergeants will be held at 6:45 this evening instead of 7 o'clock in the Memorial Union building. Jean Hoffman, major, requests that all be present.
Miss Rua Van Horn, regional home economics agent for the office of education in Washington, visited the University home economics department yesterday and made tentative plans to come back next year and spend a week studying the problems of this department. She and members of the department plan to make a cooperative curri-

Miss Van Horn has been in Kansas City help to conduct a 4-state regional reference of representatives of state departments of education, he economics teachers from colleges and universities and other education leaders.

She scofied at the belief that there is little glamor in household tasks. "There is adventure in any field where there is struggle, a challenge to intelligent thinking," she stressed. "The housewife now is challenged to use her wits in every phase of her everyday life. Rations and restrictions have seen about that."

Two more groups of army enlisted reserve student orders have been received, Laurence Woodruff, University coordinator of military information, announced this afternoon. The two groups, to leave on March 8 and March 9, include those army reservists whose names precede the letter W in the alphabet.
"University students will have a chance to display a Treasury flag in the Union building if 90 per cent of the student body regularly purchases war savings stamps, regularly put these stamps in a war savings book, and regularly exchange filled war savings books for war savings bonds" Charles K. Morse, consultant on the war savings staff of the Treasury Department, said here today.
It is the aim of the Treasury Department, Mr. Morse said, to have at least 90 per cent of the faculty and student body in colleges throughout the country participate in this installment plan of buying war bonds.
Treasury Flag To Be Offered For War Saving
The first contingent of 50 University men enlisted in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps, has been ordered to report to the Reception Center, Ft. Leavenworth, on March 6, for induction into active duty in the US Army, Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, registrar and coordinator of student military information, said this morning. Group orders were received by Woodruff
This plan was originated last spring shortly before the fall of Corregidor with the following aims: a faculty war council, a faculty war savings committee, and a student war savings committee on each college campus in this country.
English Ballads Will Be Subject Of Ashton's Talk
Student leaders and faculty members met with Mr. Morse at a luncheon in the Union building to set up a committee to handle the war savings program on this campus.

More Than 400 Enlisted
Woodruff said that while only 50 men were called in the first orders, others were expected to follow shortly. Approximately 150 men will be affected by the call, he said. Actually 168 would have been called but between 15 and 20 have already withdrawn from school, the registrar pointed out. That the call would be at this time was indicated in an INS dispatch Feb. 11 published by the Kansan.
Included in the first class are most of the members of the University basketball crew. They are Hoyt Baker, Don Blair, Bill Brill, George Dick, Armand Dixon, and Ray Evans.
