Navy Men Must Take Five Hours Of Conditioning
A recent regulation by the United States Navy requires that all students enlisted in the V-1, V-5, and V-7 programs take five hours of physical conditioning per week, was announced today by Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, co-ordinator of student military information. The regulation becomes effective the second semester, beginning January 18
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, chairman of the department of physical education, said that the machinery for the added program has
been set up and that the classes would begin promptly with the opening of the new semester. The added load, he said, was not a difficult item since the organization for the required conditioning program the first semester resulted in the establishment of a full complement of corps leaders and other personnel for the K. U. Commandos project.
Lutz Paintings At Museum
An exhibition of oil paintings by Dan Lutz, interpreter of American scenes, was put up today in Spooner-Thayer museum.
Such objects as a railroad crossing, the front of a pool hall, a western ranch, a fruit stand, and fishing boats, show the variety of scenes painted by Lutz.
Perhaps the best and most famous of Lutz's paintings is that entitled "Car Barn." Alfred Frandenstein, in the San Francisco Chronicle writes:
"I plumped with a loud whoop for Dan Lutz's 'Car Barn' as number one on my prize list selection. It is a good strong, powerful picture, with some caricature in its character, but mostly tragic and native and real in its feeling. The grandeur of great ships is an obvious romantic theme. To find the same grandeur in the skinny prow of a pastured street car is something of an achievement."
These paintings are interesting not only in subject but also in the moods Lutz is able to capture. Vivid colors add to the reality and emotion of each painting. Lutz has always been identified as a painter of southern California, but has been widely recognized as an artist of new and vital worth in painting the American scene.
Detroit Sends Second Squadron The University of Detroit is preparing to send its second naval aviation squadron to the wars.
This exhibition is lent to the museum through the courtesy of the Dalzell Hatfield Galleries, Los Angeles, Cal., and is circulated by the Western Association of Art Museum Directors.

INS Man Discusses War Correspondents
The war correspondent undergoes all the hardships of the buck private and is under just as much military control, Joe Gallagher, International News Service bureau director from Kansas City told Sigma Delta Chi members at their initiation banquet in the Memorial Union building Tuesday night.
Press associations are voluntarily censoring news that would give aid to the enemy but they are constantly licked by the fact that news must pass through so many hands before delivery and each person has a different idea as to what should be eliminated or passed. The practice of clipping out, rather than marking out censored material prevents newspaper, on knowing just what is not acceptable.
Wearing a commissioned officer uniform but having no official rating, the correspondent may be tried by court marshal the same as the enlisted men. Gallagher said.
Additional guests at the dinner were Fred Ellsworth, Alumni Association secretary; Harry Morrow and Arnold Kretzma.

Consider Plan To Admit High School Students
A plan which will permit the admission of high school students to the University before they receive high school diplomas is being considered by a Senate committee appointed by the Chancellor for the purpose of handling special education problems resulting from the war.
Such a plan, according to Dr. John Ashton, committee chairman, would make possible the inclusion of high school students of draft age in the government V-programs, and at the same time speed up the education program. Adoption of the plan would necessarily follow assurance that credits received in this manner would be accepted in professional schools.

FDR Promises Complete Fall Of Axis Power
Washington—(INS)—President Roosevelt today promised the common people of the world that the armies of the United Nations will crush the Axis power, destroy the philosophy of their present governments and insure a "durable peace" throughout the world in order to "attain some real, lasting good out of all the suffering, bloodshed, and death."
In his second war message to Congress delivered in person before a wildly cheering audience, the President pledged an actual invasion of Europe and the constant bombing of the Japanese islands as a means of "pulling the fangs of the predatory animals of this world." He would not predict final victory in 1943 but declared the year will "give to the United Nations a very substantial advance along the roads that lead to Berlin, Rome, and Tokyo."
Twice, however, Mr. Roosevelt hinted at the final victory in 1944. He told the present Congress that it might well have a hand in acting the final peace which would grant the world the "four freedoms."
Mr. Roosevelt in effect, made three reports to the nation. The first part of his address was devoted to a report on the war to date. The second section dealt with production on the home front. In the third, he pledged the "durable peace," once the fighting is ended.
Declaring that air superiority has passed from the Axis to the United Nations, the President declared:
"The Axis powers knew that they must win the war in 1942—or eventually loose everything. I do not need to tell you that our enemies did not win the war in 1942."
In reporting on the home front the President told with pride of the tremendous achievements of the American war factories. He gave statistics that will "give no aid or comfort to the enemy," and emphasized:
"The arsenal of democracy is making good. We Americans are in good brave company in this war and we are playing our own, honorable part in the vast common effort."
WEATHER
Somewhat colder in the extreme east, and southeast tonight, and much colder in the extreme southwest.
