West Coast Citizens Ready Know They Are in War
"People of the west coast are expecting just about anything in this war, and they are ready for it," commented George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, after his return this week from a trip to that area.
"They know they are in a war," he said in describing their attitude. He attended a group of related educational meetings in San Francisco during the shelling of the refinery at Santa Barbara and the air alarm at?
Expected Jap Attacks
Speaking of the Japanese attack on the California coast, Dean Smith said that the people, as well as the boys in the army and navy, had been expecting such treatment and that they were looking for more.
"The Santa Barbara radio sent out word of the attack within 10 or 15 minutes after it started," he explained, "but the news did not excite the boys." Dean Smith added that there was no excitement in San Francisco over the attack or the air raid.
"People thought things had really started," he reported, "but the whole west coast is in a state of readiness for anything." In describing his journey to California by train, Dean Smith said that all railroad trains going west from Kansas City were completely blacked out.
Signs in the coaches warn passengers to leave all lights off until the shades are drawn. Every bridge and tunnel from Denver west is guarded by army sentries, he added, and Oakland Bay bridge and the Golden Gate bridge are "alive" with sentries.
'Frisco Little Changed
Dean Smith thought the general appearance in San Francisco was about the same. The greatest change, he said, was in the parks and open spaces where all available space is being used for tent sites or places for keeping equipment. Streets of the western cities are filled with soldiers and sailors, he stated.
According to Dean Smith, the West is facing the war situation very realistically. Blackouts are very complete, he reported, and the California coast from Mexico almost to San Francisco has regular blackouts. San Francisco had a blackout Wednesday prior to the Japanese attack, but Dean Smith was not in the city at the time.
Defense Precautions.Set Up
The water front area is roped off and only persons with special permits or army or navy men can go through Dean Smith said. He told how anti-

aireraft machine guns are mounted on trucks to patrol the San Francisco docks day and night.
"Hotels have signs giving directions to nearest air raid shelters," he explained. These shelters are usually in basements of large buildings or on the third or fourth floors.
The hotel in which Dean Smith stayed had a recreation center constructed on one of the floors where it expects most guests to meet during raids. Cards, ping pong tables, and other methods of entertainment are provided.
Raid Shadows F.D.R.
"All newspapers carried huge heads of the Jap attack," Dean Smith said. "If the Japanese planned to move the Roosevelt speech off the front page, they just about succeeded." He expressed the idea that the papers on the coast do give the war news great prominence and still continue to warn people of air raid rules and other regulations.
Dean Smith said that the most striking difference between the coast and the Middle West was the attitude toward the war. "Most coast
The primary flight training courses in C. A, A. will start flying this week. Edward E. Brush, associate professor of aeronautics, said today.
Thirty students enrolled in the course have been assigned to flying instructors in preparation for the spring flying program, Brush explained.
The first part of the semester has been spent in attending ground school; the rest will be taken up with flying.
'SPORTIN' AROUND---people are in a war, and they are doing all they possibly can to further war industries. There is a definite difference in their realistic approach to war and the opinion we in the Middle West have of the problems" he believed.
Assign Students To Flight Program
The meetings of the American Association of School Administrators, which Dean Smith attended, were largely concerned with high school and college work; with the part education must play in the war effort and the adjustments schools must make to meet standards brought on by the war, he explained.

Two professors at the southern branch of the University of Idaho have advanced the theory that extensive bombing of Japan might cause displacements that would set devastating earthquakes. They are C. A. Lee and A. L. Lillibridge of geology and mechanical engineering departments.

It now ceases to be a personal matter to each school. Whether the coaches, athletic directors, faculty representatives, or fans like it or not, freshmen are going to compete on teams throughout the country. If they are going to play for some teams then it is only fair that they be allowed to compete for all. If as many of the schools that have already legalized the play of first-year men believe that it is necessary for freshmen to play to continue intercollegiate athletics, then the Big Six will be a stacker indeed if they fail to get in the swing and follow the rule of the majority.
squadmen will probably be drafted but they will also have more left. However, if the freshmen were made eligible this would allow any or all schools to supplement their squad with enough freshmen to bring it up to full power.
Odds and ends: Oklahoma needn't feel too proud about Gerald Tucker's scoring prowess for just one season. . . Stan Modzelewski, Rhode Island State star, finished his collegiate career this week with a four-year all-time record total of 1,714 points for 89 games. . . . That's an average of 21.3 points a game over a four-year stretch. . . . The team which is representing Colorado's state university at Boulder certainly does not live up to its state's name. . . . When the Buffaloes lost at Laramie Tuesday night to Wyoming the Colorado coach was Frosty Cox, a Jayhawker grad and a Newton boy; Leason McCloud, the league's leading scorer with 170 points in 11 games, tallied 17 points that night and also halls from Newton; the other forward, George Hamburg, the team's defensive ace, calls Beloit his home the regular guards are Bob Kirchner, a former performer for the Topeka High Trojans, and Barney Oldham, a product of Hays High School; and the fifth member of the starting line-up is Bob Doll, All-American center two years ago, whose home is in California. . . . If the dayhawkers lose tonight or win and fail to get the bid from the Fifth District you can look for three of the starting quintet to play for the Faulttess Laundry team of Kansas City in the A.A.U tournament at Davenport this month.
Quoted from The Denver Post of Wednesday: There is a report that the University of Kansas, after several very had years, may follow the example of University of Chicago, New York University, and some others and abolish football. . . . Quoted from The Daily Kansan of yesterday: Spring football practice for Jayhawker gilders will get underway officially at 4:00 o'clock Monday afternoon, Vic Hurt, assistant varsity coach, announced today. . . .
Take your pick . . . In addition, Hurt is more optimistic over next year's team than any in his previous three years on Mt. Oread. . . . What a game Brown and Rhode Island State must have put up Wednesday night. . . . Brown won 83 to 82. . . Fred Pralle, former Jayhawker great, was in attendance at the Oklahoma U. game. He's at Bartlesville with Phillips now. . . Dick Reich, regular Sooner forward who did not play in the game, had a back injury which press notices claimed would keep him out of the struggle. . . He didn't get in but it wasn't that he couldn't have played. . . Drake just didn't need him and the whole yarn was a big bear story. . . . Red DeBernardi, another all-time Jayhawker great, saw the Oklahoma A. and M. game at Stillwater and thought the Kansans gave up in the last five minutes. . . Ray Heady, former instructor in journalism here and now assistant professor at Oklahoma, was torn between two fires when the game was in progress.

it, yes?"
(continued from page six) and a hard-eyed man peered out. When his eyes became accustomed to the darkness, he whispered, "Is that you, Boris?"
"Yes, Basil. Let me in, quick.
I have important news for Bela."
Then the door opened, and the stranger cursed softly when it creaked slightly. "We'll have to fix that damn door. It might give us away."
Down the steps, through the basement, into a sub-basement, the pair walked, picking their way by the aid of a dimmed flashlight. In the small, damp room, four men sat around a candle-lit table. One of them had a certain military air that stamped him as the leader. It was he
