PLAN TO TRAIN--ing arranged in centers where the ESMDT program is in effect. The first class was organized in Kansas City, Mo., with a capacity enrollment, Keeler said, and plans are under way to establish additional classes there.
Keeler pointed out that stenographers in industrial concerns are urged to take the course in mechanical drawing to familiarize themselves with the necessary industrial nomenclature important in their work. He stated that young women with large social obligations should avoid the training since it will require a substantial amount of time The organization meeting for the class will be held in the auditorium in Marvin hall, Monday evening at eight o'clock.

Burma; they have, in Formosa and China, bases for attack on the Philippines, they have well-fortified islands with landing fields strategically sprinkled across the mid-Pacific.
Japs Are Overstrained
"Under the circumstances, given the size of their army and air force, it would not be sensible to expect them to fail at all points. They must win at some points and we should not be astonished if they have a number of temporary successes.
"But." Sheean adds, "overstrained as they already are, they are a much less mighty nation than, say, the Germans or the Americans. They are extending themselves to the utmost now—over spaces much greater, for example, than Hitler ever attempted. They must lose whenever the American, British, and Chinese efforts are coordinated and we can take the offensive. I hope and believe that this may happen in China, but time will show. It would all be much speeded up if Russia also entered the war against Japan; but that, too, will come in time.
"Whatever happens in this first two or three months—and I repeat that we must steady against the possible impact of bad news-Japan has not a ghostly chance of winning the war. Nor can she hope for any help from her evil genius, Germany, now in the last stages of her fatal adventure. Germany and Japan can communicate only with difficulty now, and we can be sure there will not be a union of their forces."
DISCUSS----
lege, who gave the South American opinion and viewpoint of President Roosevelt. She said the general opinion was in favor of the president because of his political attitude.
Margaret Yearout, college senior, spoke on the culture of the Latin American countries. She pointed out that the respective backgrounds of the Northern and Southern countries were entirely different. Miss Yearout explained that we must understand these differences and form a background to make Pan-Americanism not a political football but a permanent affair through education in the Americas.
Need The Will To Do It
Orville Wright, college senior, gave a discussion of our economic defense. He explained that the United States should make itself as strong as possible and absorb the strain put on us by the war. We can build a prosperous hemisphere, Wright said, if there is a will to do it.
Broadcast Follows Discussion
Mary Frances McAnaw, chairman of the Student Forums Board, presided at the meeting. After the speeches, came a cross examination and discussion, followed by a 30 minute KFKU broadcast. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, was moderator in the radio discussion.
Judges for the warm-up contest were W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science; Lee Gemmell, field representative for the extension division; and James Barton, instructor of speech.
The district extempore-Discussion contest will be sponsored by the new federated discussion group on the campus. Colleges and universities throughout the state will participate.

Salt Lake Sugar Finds Prosperity Write Autographs
Salt Lake City, Utah (UP) America's beet sugar industry, centered in the intermountain and Rocky mountain states of Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Eastern Oregon and Washington, appears headed for its greatest development in history as a result of wartime restriction of cane sugar imports.
For the first time under the New Deal, acreage quotas for beet production have been scrapped, and officials expect a 20 per cent expansion in Utah alone, with similar increases in Idaho and Colorado.
Processing companies have announced plans for reopening plants closed by quota reduction in the last two to three years, and a new refinery is under construction at Nampa, Ida.

Corbett also foresaw changes in the types of construction materials used and a greater effort to make the environment fit the man rather than the other way around. These new structures, he said, will be more flexible in their uses and built "with the greatest engineering skill, the most effective design and talent." Adjust Buildings to Needs

"If the bombing airplane is to remain a permanent instrument in war, and history proves that no instrument of war invented by man has ever been given up until man has invented a more terrific one, then I would say that a four or five-story city would be safer and better than one with a lot of skyscrapers such as we build in America."
Build No More Skyscrapers, Says Architect
"We will cease to think of buildings as permanent structures lasting for many, many years," he said. "They will not be built in the traditional manner of "great unnecessary masses of solid masonry which fill the streets with rubble as we have seen in the pictures of the bombings in London—all an une-
There will be no more skyscrapers built, he said, because they "are not a necessity from any point of view, and they only cause undue congestion in the streets wherever they are grouped."
This revolutionary view from the man who was chairman of the Architectural Commission of the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago and associate architect for the Rockefeller Center development, has a distinctly utilitarian basis.
Five Stories Safer
New York, March 5—(UP)—Because of the bombing airplane and air raids, the era of the skyscraper is over, according to Harvey Wiley, fellow of the American Institute of Architects and designer of many giant structures throughout America.
"Certainly," he said, "in an air raid it is easier to think of people getting down to earth from a five-story building than it is from a 50-story one. I used to be a strong advocate of skyscrapers but I have changed my mind.

Both are calendulas, one called "Glowing Gold" and the other "Orange Fluffy." They are derived from seeds exposed to X-rays at the University of California in 1933. Six generations of the resulting flowers were grown to test the new strains before Burpure decided to plant stock seeds to grow for the public.
Hybridist Develops Flowers with X-ray
"Glowing Gold" grows about four inches in diameter and the color ranges between gold and orange. "Orange Fluffy" is a shade of orange with a black center, slightly smaller than its "X-ray twin."

X-rays are more effective because they smash the genes or break up the chromosomes.
Corbett said prefabricated and synthetic materials will lighten buildings to about two-thirds of their present weight. They will then be put together with little waste of time and can be taken apart with equal rapidity.
"We will then be designing buildings for human use," he continued, "and the design instead of being static and dead will become dynamic and alive.
"For centuries the human animal has been trying to adjust himself to his permanent buildings, trying to fit himself like new wine in old bottles," Corbett concluded. "Let us in the future make our buildings so that they meet with our own human needs as those needs demand."

team votes were Larry Beaumont,
three; Bob McCurdy, three; Loren
Mills, two; and Danny Howe, Paul
Heap, and Jack Horacek, one each.
The second team was led by Horacek,
Kansas State's flashy forward.
He received 10 second team votes
beside that one first team ballot.
Loren Mills of Missouri was also
named by every player as he added
nine second team votes to his two first team selections.
Larry Beaumont was placed at center on the second team as he garnered seven votes beside his other three. Paul Heap and Bob McCurdy of Oklahoma complete the team. Heap gathered in six additional votes and Bob McCurdy received five more)
One of the oddities of the tabulation was the vote which Herbie Gregg of Missouri received. Gregg did not compete against the Jayhawks the first semester and his only game against them this season will be tomorrow night. Yet the speedy little Tiger received five second team votes. Perhaps this is an indication of the respect which the Jayhawks will hold for the Bengal in Hoch tomorrow night.
Another strange fact noted was the opinion that one player held of Carol Schneider. The unnamed player put Schneider on both his first and second teams. It might have been Charlie Black who was held to two field goals by Schneider at Ames. This was just half the number that he tallied in his next poorest field goal effort. But Black shouldn't have too high an opinion of Schneider for he looped in eight goals against the gangling Cyclone when the teams played here. It remains an unsolved mystery for none of the players signed their names to their ballots.
At the same time that the players selected their all-opponent team their coach, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, named his All-Big Six team for the year. Three of his Jayhawkers made the first team and his other two regulars gained the second team.
Ralph Miller was named captain and Charlie Black was placed ab center. Ray Evans gained one of the guard berths along with A. D. "Ug" Roberts, Oklahoma forward who was shifted to guard. The other forward was Al Budolfson of Iowa State.
John Buescher placed at a forward berth and Marvin Sollenberger gained a guard spot on the second team. At center was Carol Schneider of Iowa State, whom Allen named captain. Jack Horacek of Kansas State was the other forward and Sid Held, a unanimous first team choice of his players, placed at a guard berth to complete the team.
