Army Reserve Headquarters Are Shifted
The headquarters of the Army Enlisted Reserve for students will be located at the southeast corner of the rotunda in Frank Strong hall until the full quota of 827 men has been filled, said E. F. Engel, retired professor of German and C. A. Wyman, who were enlisting students yesterday morning. The table was moved Friday noon to first floor Frank Strong hall to make room for last registration and enrollment Saturday on second floor.
To enlist, the applicant must first get approval from Laurence Wood-ruff, registrar, stating that he is a regularly enrolled student. He must fill out an application blank, take a physical examination and then get a release from his local draft board. Enlistees under 21 years of age must also have their parents' consent. If he succeeds in passing these requirements, the applicant reports to Lieutenant-Colonel Jack R. Gage at the R.O.T.C. headquarters in Fowler shops to be fingerprinted.
Gage will administer the oath, and the enlistee is in the Army Enlisted Reserve as long as he remains a student in good standing. Failure to remain in good standing automatically makes the man eligible for draft.
Students 18 and 19 years of age may volunteer for the reserve. Ap-

Twirler ★★★ Sears Wins Top Award
Billy Sears, junior in the School of Fine Arts, and a member of the twirling staff of the University band, was recently rated as the outstanding twirler among 350 entrants in the twirling contest of the National Chicago Band Festival sponsored by the Chicago Tribune. Competitors included men of all ages, high school and college students, and instructors from all over the United States.
This is the second time the University has been represented in this annual contest. In 1939, Saralena Sherman, college senior, placed first in the women's division of twirling.
Russell L. Wiley, director of the band, said, "I have seen some of the nation's best twirlers but never have I seen tricks done with the baton as the tricky exhibitions Billy has performed." Sears is a member of Phi Mu, musical fraternity and is first tuba player in the Symphony orchestra and the band.
Confucius Say --- WhereverThe WindBlows Cheng Follows
A freshman enrolled in mechanical engineering, Cheng likes to read and spends many hours looking through the files at Watson library. "I do research in books," he explained modestly, meaning that he likes all kinds of books and enjoys learning new things by reading. He, aided Carl Glick, author of "Shake Hands With the Dragon," in gathering material for the book. It is a factual story telling about Chinatown, the Chinese people, and their customs. Cheng and Glick have been intimate friends for about ten years.
Cheng emphasized his philosophy
BY JOY HOWLAND
many passages of the Bible caution civilization to be moderate in what they say and do Practices Moderation
"Wherever the wind blows, I follow the wind." This philosophy brought Walter Cheng from Chinatown, N. Y., to the University and was his answer to the query, "Why the University of Kansas?" Quoting Confucius, Cheng said, "Be moderate in all that you do." He said that many of Confucius' sayings and
of 'being moderate' by comparing New York with Kansas. He said that here when people want to go someplace they "go 'round the corner" or drive a car; in New York they go to the sub-basement, wait two or three minutes, hop on a train and in five minutes they are two or three miles 'up town.' The pace of living in New York is much faster, everything is done in a hurry, and things out here seem slow. "I like it much better; my parents have always said do not rush into things, be moderate," he continued. Cheng still retains some of the things his parents taught him. He confesses he prefers to eat with

CVC To Induct New Members
University women enlisted in the Co-ed Volunteer Corps will be inducted Wennesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30 in the Little Theater, Fraser hall. A recruiting station will be open Wednesday and Thursday in Watson library from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
At the officers' meeting Thursday night, plans for the year were discussed and action on several objectives was begun, Jill Peck, C.V.C. major, said. A scholarship fund for undergraduate draftees, to be awarded men in service who quit school to enlist, will be started. It is to be used by ex-service students who wish to continue their education.
Aid to the committee on the War Information bureau begun last year in Watson library will be continued this year.
Throughout the year the C.V.C. will push the sale of defense bonds and stamps, Lieut. Feggy Davis, in charge of the drive, asserted. Other plans to be worked out are conservation drives, health campaigns

Navy Men May Attend OpenHouses
Sailors who now are receiving machinist's mate training at the University will soon feel at home if plans laid by community and University committees materialize. These plans include, among other things, invitations to groups of sailors to attend open houses held by sororities and organized Rouses.
Arrangements are already in progress to have University women act as junior hostesses at proposed dances to be held every Saturday night in the Community building. Any woman student meeting the requirements set by army and navy authorities, among which is a C average, is eligible to become a hostess. Those interested should see Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser to women, or Mrs. Laurene Woodruff, chairman of the committee on junior hostesses.
The mayor's committee, including Mrs. Frank T. Stockton, wife of the dean of the School of Business, represents the community and Ensign W. N. Pederson is making arrangements for the Navy.
WEATHER
Continued cool with probable thunder showers in northeastern Kansas.
Sophomores Spark Golden Avalanche
The Golden Avalanche yesterday afternoon twice cracked a stubborn Kansas defense to take a 14 to 0 decision from the Jays at Memorial stadium.
The average decrease for the five institutions was 17 per cent. Western University for Negroes at Kansas City, Kan., reported the only increase, a gain of three students.
The University suffered the least loss in enrollment of any of the five state schools, figures released by the State Board of Regents revealed yesterday. The decrease was but 7.4 per cent, which is in marked contrast to the loss of 31 per cent at Emporia Teachers College where the loss was greatest.
The enrollment and per cent of decrease in enrollment follows:
Kansas University, 3.713, 7.4 per cent.
Hill Enrollment Largest In State
Kansas State College, 3,229. 13.5 per cent.
Led by two sophomore backs, Wayne (Rusty) Johnson and Johnny (Ten Strike) Strzykalski, the Milwaukee aggregation struck in the second and third periods. Strzykalski carried the ball over the goal for the first tally on a wide end sweep,
Hays State Teachers College, 731 23 per cent.

Registration Opens For English Exam
Registration for the first English proficiency examination to be given at 8:30 a.m. Saturday will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the College office, Prof. John B. Virtue of the department of English, announced today.
All college students, transfer students as well as juniors and seniors, are required to pass the examination before graduation. Students must also be enrolled in and pass 24 credit hours after taking the proficiency examination. The examination is open only to juniors and seniors.
The test will be composed of three short essays and must be completed in three hours. No questions over grammar will be given, Virtue explained. The tests are graded on spelling, logic, and organization by a committee of five including three instructors from the department of English and two from other departments.
Three more proficiency examinations will be scheduled by the College before June, Virtue added.
and Johnston's passing set up the second Marquette scoring effort.
Lacking an attack of any kind, except for the passing of Ray Evans, the Jays had to content themselves with a sturdy defense and waiting for the breaks which never came. Evans tossed 21 passes, of which nine were completed. The alert Evans also intercepted two Avalanche passes early in the game to halt Hilltopper scoring ecorts.
RAY EVANS
The Kansas team drove deep into Marquette territory in the final period, following a blocked punt, for its only really serious scoring threat of the day. The drive was halted
Thanks largely to Evans' passing, the Jayhawkers rang up 8 first downs to four for their opponents.
4-yard line, however, as a completed pass fell short.
Philharmonic Becomes Regional Orchestra
The Kansas eleven was kept in hot water throughout most of the first three periods by poor punts, as Evans was badly off in his kicking, averaging but 29 yards per boot. Avalanche penalties, as the Marquette backfield persisted in using an illegal shift, aided the Kansas de-

The Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra, which appears annually on the University concert series and is scheduled to appear Feb. 8., will operate under a different plan this season. The plan, as outlined by Karl Krueger, conductor, is to develop the Philharmonic into a regional orchestra.
The expense of the organization for the next season will be shared jointly by Kansas City and Wichita. The same orchestra under the direction of Mr. Krueger will play in Kansas City as the Kansas City Philharmonic and in Wichita as the Wichita Symphony.
In past years the Kansas City Philharmonic has followed a procedure of giving a series of concerts in other cities. The maintenance has been heavy, but under the regional plan, pooling of community resources will divide the burden.
