Gov. Stassen Will Speak At Convocation
"Where Are We Going?" is the subject chosen by Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota for his talk at an all-University convocation at 11:30 tomorrow morning in Hoch auditorium.
At the 1940 Republican National Convention, Governor Stassen was temporary chairman and keynoter, and he led the campaign which succeeded in nominating Wendell Willkie for the presidential candidate. A year previous, he spoke at the Gridiron club in Washington, and was chosen "Outstanding Young Man" by the National Junior Chamber of Commerce.
Currently the youngest governor in the United States, at the age of 35. Gov. Stassen is now awaiting call into active service with the navy. He is a lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve.
Governor Stassen was selected for the International Youth's Distinguished Service citation by the International Society of Christian Endeavor and the World's Christian Endeavor Union in 1941. During the period of 1940-41, he was chairman of the National Governors' conference and Council of State Governments.
Receiving his law degree at the age of 22, Governor Stassen practiced law for a year, after which he was elected county attorney of Dakota county, in which position he continued from 1930 to 1938. During the years of 1935-36, he was president of Minnesota's County Attorney's Association, and the next two years he was president of Minnesota's Young Republican league. A Reform Governor
As governor, he has established several reforms, diminished the state debt, and instituted civil service. He was an outstanding student at Minnesota University, especially in military science. He won many championships and set marksmanship records.

Films May Lose Flynn To War Job
Hollywood, Feb. 8 (INS) — Resting from the ordeal of a four-week trial which resulted in his exoneration of morals charges involving two teen-age girls, film star Errol Flynn today indicated he might quit the movies in favor of a job outside the film industry—possibly war work.
The dashing Tasmanian-born actor, who rose to stardom and a $5,000 weekly pay check, said he would withhold announcement of his future plans for "two or three days."
Flynn remained secluded in his mountain-side home, where he has been since a jury of nine housewives and three men acquitted him of the charges of Betty Hansen and Peggy Larue Satterlee, both 17.
Senate Approves Salary Increase
Meanwhile the furor over charges of widespread and flagrant violations of liquor and gambling laws died down somewhat in the legislature with no immediate indication of an investigation being ordered.
Topeka—(INS)—Indications today were that state school faculties would come under a salary increase bill approved by the senate ways and means committee. The body approved salary increases for employees of state penal institutions up to 12 and six tenths per cent with the total appropriation amounting to $1,727,328.
Senator William A. Kahrs, Wichita, said that undoubtedly something should be done about the charges, but as far as could be learned today no organized move was under wav.
Army Air Corps Called Feb. 20-28
Beaten and half-starved, overpowered by better fighters than themselves and far less certain of their superiority than they were at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese scurried off of Guadalcanal today and another great victory was recorded for American arms.
US Wins Battle Of Guadalcanal; Jap Army Flees
This second major defeat of Japanese land forces, following by only a few weeks General Douglas McArthur's triumph on the island of New Guinea, bids fair to mark a turning point in the Pacific war. Soviet Troops Take Kursk
"All organized resistance has ceased and the deathless page in history that the United States marines began to write with their initial landing in the Solomons last August has been finished with a flourish."
"The truth of the matter," he said, "is that the enemy has been defeated on Guadalcanal." History Is Finished
A communique from the Japanese high command claiming "transfer" of these forces "now that their mission has been accomplished," was quickly exploded by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox.
Meantime Soviet troops swarmed into Kursk, one of the key points (continued to page eight)

Encores Climax Orchestra Concert
By MATT HEUERTZ
A surprisingly small audience turned out last night to enjoy a two-hour concert in Hoch auditorium by the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Karl Krueger.
Rachmaninoff's "Symphony No. 2, in E-Minor," the second number on the program, was played in four movements and reached a lively and vigorous climax in the last movement, "allegro vivace." Mr. Krueger was stirred from his usual calmness and restraint while conducting the four movements. Program Suits Students
Interest in the concert gradually grew from opening number, the not-too-well-known overture to the opera "Raymond" by Ambrose Thomas, until the climax was reached with playing
of the first encore, the popular and softly moving overture to "Tannhauser" by Wagner.
in the audience. DeBussy's "La Mer," a tone poem of the sea was familiar to most of those present and was well received. The three pieces of the composition are very melodic, with the second, "Jeux de vagues" (Play of the Waves), having a distinctive murmurring quality which was brought out by the harpist. The woodwinds and brasses were dominant through the third piece, "Dialogue du vent et de la mer" (Dialogue of the Wind and the Sea.)

Reservists Have Choice Of Refund or Credits
Advice has been received from the War Department by Dr. L. C. Woodruff, co-ordinator of student military information here, that all Army Aviation Cadet Enlisted Reservists under deferred status, will be ordered to active duty with effective dates commencing Feb. 20. It is anticipated that all Aviation Cadet Enlisted Reservists will be ordered to active duty not
Positions Open On K-Book Staff
Applications for editor, business manager, and other staff positions on the "K"-Book for next year should be submitted by junior and sophomores to the business office by February 15, Vincent P. Harris of the business office announced today. Applicants selected for editor and business manager will be announced approximately March 1.
Selection will be made by the committees from letters submitted by applicants stating their previous experience on newspapers, magazines, and other publications in the University or in high school. They should also include in the letter the school that they are in and their major. Others wishing staff positions on the 1943 "K"-Book should apply to the business office in a similar letter.
The examining committee will consist of Mr. Harris, chairman; Harry OKane, YMCA executive secretary; Mrs. Rachel G. VanderWerf, YWCA executive secretary; John Conard, editor of the "K"-Book this year; Wallace Kunkel, business manager of the "K"-Book this year; and one member of the Men's Student Council.
Committee to Plan For Sorority Sing Scheduled In March
Plans for the annual inter-sorority sing to be March 21 will be made tomorrow night by a committee with Merrill Jones as chairman.
A representative from each organized house will attend the meeting at 8 p.m. in the Kansas room in the Memorial Union building. Terms of competition and rules for the sing will be decided upon.
Glenn Warner, College freshman, has been appointed chairman of the Student Union Activities entertainment bureau and will be in charge of the sorority and fraternity sings this spring.
WEATHER
Much colder with light rain changing to snow northwest portion late this afternoon and entire state tonight.
According to the dispatch from the War Department they will be ordered to active duty from their homes although it will be permissible for them to leave from their respective colleges. It is hoped, the communique states, that each student will receive his orders several days in advance of the effective date of his order. May Receive Some Credit
Dr. Woodruff stated today that students in the Army Air Corps Reserve might withdraw immediately with no credit and a full refund of the incidental fees. However, he emphasized that if they will remain in school through Tuesday, Feb. 16, they may draw one-fourth credit with a refund of one-half the incidental fee.
The University authorities are therefore urging all students thus affected to remain in attendance for one more week in order to obtain credit for the work done thus far this semester. In either event, Dr. Woodruff said, there will be a refund of the unused portion of health and laboratory fees.
Volunteers Called Later
The statement included no provision for air corps reservists who have applied for active duty. The assumption is that these men will not be called out until later, Mr. Woodruff said.
The order will affect about 60 men on the University campus, the registrar estimated. "It is very likely, (continued to page eight)

A play of five scenes, depicting different stages in a woman's life and her changing attitudes toward men, will be the highlight of the program at the Jay Jane Jamboree at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Jay Janes To Have Jamboree Tomorrow
All University women are invited, especially those new to the campus this semester, said Virginia Rader, publicity chairman for the Jamboree. The main purpose of the meeting is to get acquainted with other women students.
Dancing and refreshments will be offered in addition to the program at a cost of 5e a person.
