Clear The Way
For Sailors
Mid-weeks and Friday night dances in the Memorial Union ballroom are a thing of the past. The navy has moved in.
The "once-was" ballroom is now a mess hall for the Naval Training School for machinist's mates set up in the west wing of Frank Strong hall. Therefore, dances held during the week must take place either in the Kansas room or the gymnasium. Other dance floors may be used later.
The glamorous ballroom of last year has a double cafeteria counter in the east wing. The remainder of the floor space is taken up by tables arranging in typical mess hall 'fashion'. Here the trainees have their three meals daily except Saturday and Sunday, the days on which they have "liberties."
The navy is responsible for another change in the Union building, the moving of the music equipment from the Music room to the English room. Music appreciation hours will be planned as before, but will be presented in the English room. The former Music room has been converted into an officers' club.
Liberal Arts Students Lead In Honor Roll
That the trend of scholarship at the University of Kansas is definitely upward, was indicated today with the release of the dean's honor roll for the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences for 1941-42 in which 265 students were named, the highest percentage of liberal arts students in the history of the University.
"There has been a steady trend upward in scholarship at the University for the past several years," Dr. Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said today. "I am very definite in my opinion that the students of this generation are doing more serious work than that done by their fathers. It may be a bit tough on the parents to admit that the good old days are being supplanted, but the

Evans, Altman Star For Outclassed Jayhawkers
A galaxy of hard-running backs and tank-like linemen playing under the banner of Iowa City Naval Pre-Flight Training station yesterday afternoon handed a game, but outclassed Jayhawk eleven the worst defeat in 53 years of University football history. The sailors scored almost at will, after a hard-fought first quarter, to bury the Jays 61 to 0.
When one of the fleet navy backs tired, there were two more just as fast waiting to take his place, and in front of them were a dozen linesmen to mow down the frantic Kansas defenders.
If the navy had any one outstanding back, it was Bill Schatzer, 187-pounds of passing and running dynamite from little-known North Central college of Illinois. Schatzer scored two of the Seahawks' touchdowns, and passed for another tally. He received able assistance, however, from George Paskvan, Bernard Mertes, Jim Langhurst, Ed Tawlski, Dick Fisher, Forrest Evasheski, Al Couppe, and George Eenson, all former Big Ten aces.
Also in the limelight for the powerful Seahawks were linesmeth S. W. Kolens, Mal Kutner, Ted Nemeth, Judd Ringer, Charles Schultz, and big George Svendsen.
Evans. Penny Standout
Easily the standout man on the Jayhawk squad was Ray Evans, junior ace, whose tackles from behind repeatedly brought down navy backs headed for touchdown territory. In addition,

hey, sophomore center, and Paul Hardman, senior end, were also occasionally instrumental in slowing up the cadet attack. Hoyt Baker, a sophomore, shared the backfield burden with Evans.
Playing cautious ball, and aided by the fine punting of Evans, the Jayhawks managed to stay out of trouble throughout most of the first quarter, and trailed only by the margin of a field goal, 3 to 0, at the end of that period. In the second period, however, Schatzer and Fisher began to roll, and the Seahawks pushed across three touchdowns to lead 23 to 0 at halftime. Kansas Defence Tires
In the third quarter the navy men threatened repeatedly, but were held to a single touchdown (continued to page four)
New Students In Good Voice At Convocation
The new student convocation held Friday night to acquaint Hill newcomers with school songs and cheers, was pronounced by Henry Werner, adviser to men, who conducted the meeting, as one of the "most spontaneous" in years.
The convocation opened with the singing of the popular song hit, Jingle, Jangle, Jingle," followed by "Onward Kansas," the "Alma Mater," and was concluded with the Rock Chalk yell led by the new cheer leaders.
Guy Criss Simpson, instructor in piano in the School of Fine Arts, played the organ, and E. Thayer Gaston, professor in the School of Fine Arts, led the singing. Werner complimented the new students upon the showing at the convoca-

Lochner Views New War Angle
An unusual angle to the German situation was given by Louis P. Lochner, famous war correspondent, to Kansan reporters last Friday night backstage in Hoch auditorium following his lecture. "German youth are a great danger to Hitler," said Lochner, expressing a view not held by many authorities on the subject. He spoke from first hand experience after spending 14 years in Germany as head of the Berlin bureau of the United Press.
"German youth flocked to Hitler's program in its beginning because youth love to champion causes which have overwhelming opposition, but the increasing amount of regimentation, and constant absence of opportunity for any freedom or advancement is alienating even the most ardent of the Nazi youth. This policy will continue to rile his followers until they rebel."
