Women Hear Explanation Of Defense Opportunities Washington —INS)— President Roosevelt told a press conference today that he did not mean to predict victory for the United Nations by the end of 1944 in his message to Congress yesterday. He said that he rather expressed the hope that the war would end by that time. Approximately 250 women attended the meeting which was called for all University women by Chancellor Deane W. Malott yesterday to explain the possibilities and opportunities which are open in the war effort. Hopes for Victory By 1944-President Chancellor Malott spoke briefly to the women stating that it is exceedingly important at this crucial time for them to obtain North Am Aviation, inc. Bearing Aircraft company, Becch is exceedingly important at a thorough educations. They must prepare themselves for some special field such as teaching, nursing, dietetics, or one of the numerous war production activities. He also emphasized the fact that it is the women who have the ability who should further education, and specialize in a certain field, and take the more responsible positions. University officials have been devoting today to giving special interviews and conferences to women interested in any of the special programs, such as aeronautical technicians, nursing, government requested work for laboratory technicians, teaching, and needs of the social service division of the war effort. Aircraft company, and Cessna Aircraft company will initiate a new program of aeronautical technicians which will begin next week. Home-court Jinx Faces Phog's Five BY MILO FARNETI Kansan Sports Editor Bruce Drake's Sooners rate an even money choice against the rough riding Jayhawkers at Norman Saturday only by virtue of a home-court advantage that has jinxed Phog Allen since 1938. Trial of the leaders of the student riot the Friday before Christmas vacation, Dec. 18, began at 1:30 this afternoon in the court room in Green hall. Student Court Begins Trial of Riot Leaders The court will try to determine the incitents of the mass meetings and will fix punishment on the persons, if they are convicted. Possible penalties for conviction by the student court include taking away hours from the student, taking away grade points, or expulsion from the University. The trial is a result of agitation by the MSC to see that the offenders are punished. A mass meeting on Dec. 18 changed from a meeting of students protesting the shortened vacation to a mob which swept through the halls of the University, breaking up classes, and generally preventing any work that day.

College senior, will be the new editor of the Jayhawker, campus yearbook, replacing Spencer Burtis, College senior, who will be graduated at the end of this semester. Burtis and Conard are both working on the next issue of the magazine which will be out sometime after the first of the spring semester. Conard will assume full control of the Jayhawker at the end of the current semester. Conard is a journalism major and now is editor-in-chief of the K-Book and publisher of the Daily Kansan. He has had experience on several daily newspapers and is now employed by the Journal-World. Oklahoma 41-38 at Norman then — Jimmy McNatt, Herb Scheffler and company. This year Oklahoma has Titanic Tucker, challenged only by Charlie Black as the Big Six's top cager, scrappy Ug Roberts and Manacles McCurdy ready to continue the Jayhawk whitewash. Going After Sixth Straight Paced by Black on offense and defense in the fiftieth KU-OU renewal, Kansas will be gunning for its sixth straight victory since the dismal December start. The Jayhawkers have improved greatly in three weeks but Coach Allen, burned several times by Oklahoma at Norman, was non-compitttal today on the results of tomorrow's game. Starting lineups: Starting linesups: KANASS POS. OKLAHOMA Black F Heap Schnellbacher F Roberts Buescher C Tucker Evans G Paine Dixon G McCurdy Kansas lost a valuable replacement to the measles today. Jack Ballard, 6-foot 6 and one-half inch forward, went to Watkins hospital this morning. Ballard was counted on by Allen for vital replacement insurance. Black, who will guard Tucker on the post, has fouled out of r umorous games since he became a jayhawker. If he is thumbed out, Kansas will not have a man capable of guarding the 6-foot four-inch Tucker. Drake Wails Over Chances While wailing about his poor lil' Sooners chances in imitation of Indiana's Bo McMillen, the cagy Drake has been devising a strategy to draw fouls from Black. But too much concentration on the big junior may be fatal. Smooth-playing Johnny Buescher, the equal of Bobby Allen, 1941 quarterback, as a feeder has developed into an oportunist.
